~Rules~
It's all common sense really.
1.) No GM; God-Molding. In meaning being powerful, as if acting indestructible or almost acting like a god, demi-god, etc. This also means no perfect characters.
2.) No PP; Power-Playing or auto-hit. So, if your character gets into a fight with another character this is what we do not want to see:
Character x punched character y, sending him flying across the room.
3.) Fights may be as graphic as you may like. Be creative and have fun, but if one asks for you to dim down, please listen and comply with their request. If you want your character to die, post that they can die.
(Yes people can die, people die in the real world, so people can also die here.) This mainly applies for the Gang Wars plot... People won't be getting randomly stabbed when the plot is over!
4.) No despies! Despies as in meaning RP characters that look for any possible chance to have romance. These things take time.
5.) "t4lk like d1s" And you will get a warning. Keep doing it and you will be banned. In other words: no chat-speak. Brb, lol, lmao, rofl, bbl, bbs and gtg are all perfectly acceptable, but please keep chat-speak to a minimum.
6.) Cursing, bad language, insults, can be used on role playing characters, not the person or people playing them. They are allowed in Summerdale High, but just keep them down.
7.) Please only create one account. There is no need to create more than one seeing as how there is no character limit. Well, that's not really true: you can have as many characters as you can control. So don't create 10 characters if you only have time to post for 3.
8.) "Making Love" is allowed. You can either put 'fade to black' or, if you really want to play out what is happening. Both people need to agree to this though. Also, in the posts where this is happening you must have some sort of warning at the top in BIG BOLD LETTERS
9.) Before you begin role playing your character must be accepted by any Staff member, meaning an Administrator.
However, I am the one who accepts/rejects all characters. If I reject it, I'll tell you why over PM and you can reply to the PM once you've done what I asked. I will not accept a character that no one has contacted me about, because I don't know if it is finished or not.
The only time someone other then me will be accepting characters is for plots. As in our current plot, Tiff is accepting characters for one of the two gangs. No one besides Tiff or myself shall ever be accepting characters.
10.) 150 word minimum. This doesn't mean have five run on sentences, but never fear, if you aren't meeting our standards, someone will tell you. (Most likely me)
11.) If you get into a fight, please:
A) Take it to PM; we really don't need complaints on the CBox.
B) Contact an admin (or another admin if it is one you are fighting to)
C) Ignore the person or just say you’re sorry, even though you're not.
12.) I do not want to see any links to porn sights or graphic pictures in profiles!
13.) The C-Box (CHAT BOX), is for fun quick chats. If you advertise another proboard you will be flagged for suspension or deletion, unless you have asked and Tiff or I gave you the OK. However, in the C-Box if you cuss, don't cuss at fellow members/admins, only if it is a joke and they know. If you continuously cuss for no reason you'll be flagged.
Also, don't impersonate other members. I can see your IP address, so I'll know if you are attempting to be someone else (:
For the record, if I find anyone impersonating Tiff or myself, you'll be banned. Other members is bad enough, but tricking people into thinking you are an admin is inexcusable
14.) Do. Not. Spam. Anyone’s. PMs.
Please don't constantly remind someone to answer or look at his/hers PMs. It's annoying. Also, do not send multiple PM's about the same thing, again: annoying.
- Same goes for threads, remind a person if they haven't replied in a week, maybe they've forgotten. However, don't remind them every day!
15.) Admin are the only people that can have special characters in their name. If a member goes against this, an admin will change their name. So don't. It's easier for all. Also when you join, do not have underscores for it does not work and don’t have usernames like _the_soulforge_, you can just be called Soulforge. Also, no: Cassie1683760297573956203-458415s, don't do that, if there is not even a Cassie1...
16.) Also, to make things more on the organized side, we suggest that if your character made enemies or friend in this RP that you simply add them in their profile. You do not have to do this, but it will make things easier. Also, if you could post which board they are currently in... That would be really, really helpful.
17.) Staff! If you're and admin, co-admin, or mod, do not abuse your admin powers to tear up the site, harass other members, or boast about them to other members.
If you threaten another member by saying something like 'if you don't then I will delete all of your characters', not only will their powers be removed, but they will be suspended for 3 days.
18.) Spelling and Grammar. We all have Microsoft word is some like program, right? If you do, then please use it! After you've used the spelling/grammar check, re-read your post -I know, it's a pain in the ass... Believe me, I hate re-reading my posts and the only reason I do it now is because it's a rule xD It does help catch mistakes though...
If you don't have word or a like program, use the spell check button (:
-Post- Preview- SPELL CHECK- Reset-
19.) Please Bookmark all threads you are in. {You don't really have to do this. It's just useful if you are forgetful.}
20.) This rule works with rule 9. We want originality; meaning no Massie from the Clique, no celebrities or such things. Come on people, be original! (The pictures of your characters can be of famous people {I've done it for two of my characters, so feel free. However, don't base your character entirely on them.})
21.)Members that create a thread must have either a [O] for Open; meaning that it is open for other members to join, or a
meaning that is it private and is not allowing any other people to join. The reason doesn't matter, private means private!
22.) Liquid Time is now allowed! We used to have a 'one place at a time' policy, but we decided to change it.
~Punishments~
"Rules are made to be broken" -If you think that way... You're in trouble. If we tell you to stop doing something and you don't, we will give you one warning. That's it, that's all.
1 warning.
2 strike- 3 day ban.
3 strikes- one week ban.
4 strikes- one month ban.
5 strikes- 4 months ban.
6 strikes- You're gone. Honestly, you are getting a lot of chances here!
