» first things first; no sexism, racism, or any of that here. In role plays they are expected yes, but anything outside of the role play boards resembling any of these will not be tolerated.
» please respect all members, staff, and guests
» please keep out of character cursing to a minimum
» no flaming other members, meaning no fighting. If there is a dispute between members, please tell a staff member. No flaming, whether it be in boards or private message. In character flaming is of course natural.
» no spamming any of the boards. Meaning, no senseless posts unless it’s in the general board. So I don’t want to see you posting in someone else’s thread ‘hey, come reply in our thread’.
RPG Rules
» two paragraph minimum post requirement is what the site has. More of course welcome. You can have shorter than two paragraphs if you are having extreme writer’s block, or if there really is nothing more to do in a thread. But if that happens, just call the thread closed.
» a paragraph, in my book, is five sentences. So all paragraphs must be seven sentences, two paragraphs a post. I really don't think that's hard, is it?
» please right in third person. if you don’t know what that is, go look it up.
» please watch your spelling and grammar. There is a spell check button at the bottom of the reply boxes. Use it.
» you can only have one character per account. If you want to make another character, you are free to create a new account.
» In character cursing is allowed. We all know teenagers curse on a daily basis. But please don't make it like ten lines of 'fuck' or something.
» please make sure your celebrity play by at least looks the age of your character. I.E: if you are using Hilary Duff, depending on what pictures and such, she could be any grade in high school. But using her as a teacher that’s thirty? That just doesn’t work.
» All celebrity play bys must be real people. No cartoon, anime, or animals.
» Remember, in character drama is of course fun. That’s what makes it interesting. But make sure if it’s graphic drama [i.e. sex or bloody fights] that you put a warning in the title. We don’t want young members reading that, do we?
» no God-modding. If you don’t know what it is, it’s you cannot control what another character is doing unless it’s your own character.
Example: John stood up shakily before he raised his fist, slapping it across Julie’s face, and he watched her as she fell over in tears, her mouth bleeding. He watched her stand up before she took a swing right back at him.
You cannot do that; you have to let Julie do what she wants. What if she didn’t fall over? So you see what we mean?
» Any suicides, homicides, pregnancies, STDs, and all must be approved by an admin. if you go on with it without notifying us and us accepting it, you will be warned.
Other Rules
» You must have a 100x100 icon and a signature for your character. [please put 'prosecutor' where specified in the bio] If you cannot make a signature or want a change and can’t do it, then head over to the graphics shop; someone here might be willing to help you.
» No advertising in the cbox. That is what the Plugging board is for.
» No cursing or anything in the cbox. Hells and damns are fine, but anything worse than that is not allowed.
» You are allowed to have a maximum of 5 canon characters. Your original characters are unlimited so long as, like stated previously, you create a new account for them all.
» Activity checks are done during each months thats when awards are also given out. The awards soley rest with the Admin for now but I will soon let people vote on it. As for the member checks, its simple. You don't check in, your account gets deleted
» You have a WEEK from your registered date to get your profiles figured out UNLESS you have a good reason and have talked to CASEY about that
