It looks like a lot of rules, but we’re usually fairly easy-going and easy to approach. don’t hesitate to pm an a staff member if you have a question or problem. 001. respect everyone. it's a given and we expect all members to follow it. this means no racism, sexism, or prejudice. everyone is created equal, staff and members alike. if you feel like you've been discriminated against, please let one of the admins know, so that we can fix it. this also means that if you have drama elsewhere, leave it there. save the drama for your characters. 002. you can register with any name that you want, but be sure to modify it to your characters first, middle and last name. all lowercase and please, do not put symbols in your name. just a note: if you're going to post an away message before you get your first post up, don't bother joining. come back when you have the time. anyone who does this will not be exempt from any activity checks that come along while they're gone. 003. any large plots must be discussed with an admin. we're very lenient, but we can't have a bunch of pregnant girls running around killing themselves because they've been raped by their twin. we encourage a safe and happy roleplaying environment here. when in doubt, pm a staff member. 004. do not post anywhere on the board until your application has been accepted, and you have posted in the face claim. when posting the face claim, remember that it is first come first serve. please, keep in mind that your character may not be under the age of thirteen years old. and neither can their playby. with that said, the playby must be a realistic set for the age. this means no high school johnny depp characters. if you're unsure, the best thing to do is shoot a staff member a pm and ask. 005. there is no character limit, but we must enforce the male for every two females rule. this is so we can keep an even ratio, and yes, if the statistics change and the board is suddenly penis driven, we will adjust this rule. 006. when you reserve a face claim, do realize that you have to finish your application within the time frame set. should you fail to finish by the deadline, you must wait a total of three days before you can reserve it again. no exceptions. staff members are not exempt from this rule either, so don't whine. 008. be active. now, we'll make this easy, just have your character in an ongoing thread, and log in every visit with each account, to show that we are an active site. inactive accounts that haven't posted in two weeks will be deleted. 009. kids are fun, right? okay, we'll buy that. they do tend to overrun the board, so we are going to have to make it an admin approval sort of thing. just slip us a quick pm, no big deal. ROLEPLAYING, GRAPHICS & TEXT. 001. no word limit, just commit to your threads. absolutely no godmodding and please, for the love of god no theft and post in third person! and before you ask, we don't care if you post all lowercase, just not all uppercase and spell check is your friend. i'm just saying. 002. sexy threads break proboards tos. if you're going to get too graphic and into detail fade to black. coming upon a pulsating member while scrolling through the recent posts isn't so bad, but seeing where it goes and how it gets there, is a problem. if you must do this, do it on your own time. 003. do not multicolor your post. it will be deleted. it's not very attractive and sometimes it hurts the eyes. i can't stress enough how annoying it is to see a post that looks like a fucking rainbow threw up on it. also, leave the default size alone. it was set for a reason. 004. we'll do this simple. you must have an avatar and signature, they must be of your character. your claim must be a celebrity and human. the size limits are 200x300 for avatars, and 475x500 for signatures. posting images should stay around 450 px. large images will stretch the board if you blockquote. please, don't do it. 005. this may be the last rule of this section, but it is by far the most important. there is no reason at all ooc should be shifted ic. if you have an issue with someone, you don't have to be their friend, but do not make your character attack their character. if you want to plot it that way, that's fine, but do not ever let your ooc feelings and views influence the way you play your character. it will not be accepted, and you will be told to leave. CBOX, ICEBOX & TUMBLR. 001. this one is easy. no roleplaying, no disrespect, and no advertising. keep the peace and we'll all be happy. you don't have to have any posts or threads to use the icebox, but if we see a habit of it without posting on the site, we will have to take action and ban you from it. 002. you're required an icon of your character on the icebox, and no special symbols when you register your name. you must register to use the icebox and it has to be your character's first name or nickname. the only 'special' characters allowed are numbers, periods, commas, asterisks, and any form of dashes. we will only ask you once to change it, before revoking your icebox privileged. 003. do not use chatspeak if you don't have to. n1 wnts 2 c dis. type it out, it won't kill you. and it's annoying no matter where you're doing it. 004. tumblr is not a replacement for roleplaying on the site. they are a fun way to be creative and get into character, but they are not for roleplaying and anyone found roleplaying with others via their character’s tumblr accounts, will be warned on the site. this template was made exclusively for swing life away by oh so coopernatural ! @ caution |
