THE ULTIMATE RULEBOOK
Hello dear. The title says it all. YES you do need to read them, not because we hate you but just so that we know things will run smoothly on the site!
- - -
REPORTING FOR DUTY registering with the site
- If you plan to create an account and not even bother to create a profile, you might as well leave now. This board is not a place to visit only when you feel bored.
- By registering with this fourm, you are agreeing to the Proboards TOS as well as this site's rules, blah blah, ect ect.
- If you need to leave for a period of time, post in the absence thread and include how long you will be gone so that way if we have an activity check during your absence, you and your character(s) don't get deleted!
WHEN YOU SEE MY FACE hope it gives you hell
Applying
- The application form needs to be filled it out CORRECTLY and with
CARE. If failure to do so happens, the app will be denied and we will ask you to either fix your mistakes or start over.
- If you do not use the code given, the application will be IGNORED. Please don't come in here with your own application templates.
- Once the application has been submitted, please DON’T send messages to the admins about acceptance. Like you, we have real life to attend to so be patient and wait at least 48 hrs before catching an admin’s attention.
- This site has two app styles. With that we ask you to choose one of the styles we have to offer, and follow the directions given with each. Failure to do so once again involves denying the app and blah blah blah.
Character
- No one is perfect, therefore perfect characters are not allowed. No Mary Sues! Your character may have good qualities, but that doesn't mean they never make mistakes. Make sure there's that something that sets your character apart from the rest. If you need help developing your character, either ask one of the admins or other members of the site! I'm sure they would be glad to help.
- Pregnancies happen... sometimes....Still, we ask that any and all pregnancies, marriages, and deaths are approved by the staff first before being played out on the board. Sickness, and engagements are fine (everyone gets the sniffles and some engagements fall through).
- The above also applies for suicides; please be realistic.
- When it comes to the face claim, do not use unknown face claims, site models, athletes, or cartoon characters. Try to stick with movie stars and magazine models okie doke? If you get really desperate and can't find anyone, ask someone on the site for help!
AND HERE'S YOUR LIES you can look me in the eyes
Roleplaying
- There is an enforced 250 word minimum on all rp posts. It's not alot really, that's enough to make a decent paragraph or two. If we catch you posting under 250 (and no we aren't going to be Hitler and do it to you at 249 or any nonsense like that) your first time is a warning, the second time your thread is locked for a day, and the third time is the thread is locked up for good and thrown away until you can show us you can write 250 words.
- After being accepted, change your display name to your character's first, middle, and last name using proper capitilization.
Good Ex: Harley Tyler Mortestien
Bad Ex: harley tyler motrestien or HaRleY TyLeR MoRtEsTiEn
- One line posters are NOT tolerated. Be respectful to your fellow member who is posting with you. If they write a good sized post, then it should be expected of you to write the same amount, or at least to the best of your ability.
- REMEMBER! Everyone has a life on here besides that of their characters, so do non't get mad when someone doesn't respond to your thread right away. Oh, and the password for your application is "like a boss !"We all can't sit around the computer 24/7.
- Always reply in third person, keep in mind you're not writing your own diary. And NO text lingo? K? LOLOLOL...no don't do it.
- When you're character is speaking use quotation marks (" "), and for thoughts use Italic.
- Godmodding is FORBIDDEN!
- OOCs should not be in the middle of a post. They are allowed at the bottom, especially if you have a code that has the spot to put notes in, but that's the only place they go.
- Creativity and originality are encouraged, especially when it comes to coding which makes posts look more attractive.
Powers
- If you haven't figured it out by now, we are a gifted RP site!
- All characters have a maximum of two powers that have to be some how related to one another (Don't make your guy shoot lightning then all of a sudden blow bubbles out his eyes. Make it reasonable like int he comics xD)
- IF for some reason you think your character should have more powers, tell Jayy?! your idea and He will let you know his thoughts on it. We can't make one character on this site all powerful, they all need to be equal, so with that we are only able to let you have one more power tacked on if admin approves.
Rating
- Proboards is strictly PG 13
- Mature content is FORBIDDEN. Come on people, little kids can see that crap so don't do it!
ANOTHER PALE MOON shines like high noon
Anything else
- You are allowed to have as many characters [both canons & originals] as you like, as long as you keep the whole lot active.
- Always respect the staff and other members.
- If you're having a bad day, my advice is to keep clear off the board. We don't want or need unnecessary fights. This is a place to have fun, not share in little high school drama. Just a warning now IT WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. Any harassment, or fights of any kind either in the c-box, or the occ board will result in immediate ban, no questions asked.
- We would also appreciate if you don't spend your whole time on the c-box, keep in mind that you are here to roleplay and it's not nice to keep others waiting for a long time. Not that you can't chat with everyone, but if you have 15 posts to do and spend the whole day just on the c-box, that puts a damper on others who are waiting for your reply.
- We also ask that all user graphics be no more than a certain size. For Avatars, no bigger than 150x200 and Signatures be no bigger than 500x250
AND YOU CAN TAKE BACK memories they're no good to me
We will be watching you, so do not break any of the above rules. Just like in baseball you have 3 strikes before you're out... or as i like to call it banned and deleted. Behave yourselves and most important of all, have fun :]
Your loving admins, Maddi!? and Jayy?!
AND THERE'S ANOTHER CHANCE try to learn a lesson
This wonderous rulebook was created by Piexiato (aka T!NA) of Caution 2.O. However, feel free to modify when needed. The lyrics are credited to The All American Rejects. It's important that you do not remove this credit [no matter what the reason is] or I shall track you down and unleash my army of squirrels xP
