the rules
don't try to step out of line, they'll stomp on anyone
[/color][/font][/size] Respect is a big deal here, and probably the most important of all of our rules. Basically, all that we ask is for you to treat others the way you want to be treated, whether you're dealing with guests, staff, or just regular members. If an issue comes up between you and another member that cannot be resolved fairly, please bring it to a staff member to be dealt with. That's what we're here for, after all.
ONE ••
TWO ••[/color][/font][/size] This is an intermediate to advanced roleplay site, so we'd like it if you could at least meet our word requirement of 200 words per post. We understand that everyone has the occasional off day, but we would appreciate if you at least tried to meet that number in each of your in-character posts. More important than our word requirement, though, is that we'd appreciate if you tried to match the word count of whoever you're roleplaying with- don't respond to a 1000 word post with 400 words of your own. It's just not right, and it makes it difficult to keep the thread going.
THREE ••[/color][/font][/size] According to Proboards TOS, this site is required to have no more than a PG-13 rating. Yes, there will be sex, language, violence, murder, and worse on this site, though we'd appreciate if you kept it from getting overly graphic or, if you aren't able to do that or aren't entirely sure how, simply fade to black. This is for the sake of the forum not being shut down, and we appreciate your cooperation.
FOUR ••[/color][/font][/size] We would appreciate if you had a separate account for each of your characters, for the sake of organization on the site as well as our use of member groups. Please register using your character's name, and set your username to your character's first and last name in all caps. While graphics are not required, we would at least like you to have an avatar depicting your character so we know who they are.
FIVE ••[/color][/font][/size] Activity is a very important aspect of your membership here. If you don't have time to be an active member of this site, please don't register. We're not asking you to be on 24/7, or even once a day- just a few times a week is fine, so long as you keep your characters and their threads active. Accounts over one week old with no posts will be deleted, as will accounts that have not been logged on to for over two weeks without a thread created in the absence board or a PM to a staff member to justify their leaving.
SIX ••[/color][/font][/size] We understand that you may prefer some shows over others, but please try not to take more than two characters from the same show, and preferably no characters that interact with each other directly. This is for the sake of giving other members a chance to pick their favorite characters as well as making sure you don't end up roleplaying too many characters on one show- that wouldn't be any fun, would it?
SEVEN ••[/color][/font][/size] We ask that you use the third person past tense in all times, except in the event of a flashback or dream sequence that may occur. It makes it easier to understand exactly what's going on from an unbiased point of view as well as keeps the site organized, with everyone using the same point of view and tense throughout the site.
