[/size]basicsTHE RULES.
love them, hate them, have wild fantasies about frolicking through fields of flowers holding hands with them. I honestly couldn't care less. Just be sure to read them, and FOLLOW them, okay?
01. Register with your character's first and last name in lower case (no caps). Admins are the only ones who have capitalised names. why? because it makes them easier to spot, and because I fucking said so. okay?in character rules
02. This site needs to be active site. I know that you can't get on every day, but if you can't get on at least 3 times a week, then this site is not for you. Let me know if you're going to be away for more than fives days, dears.
03. You can have as many characters if you want, but there are some rules. For every two female characters you have, you must have one boy, or, if there are a lot of girls already, I may decided only to acept guys for a while. Personally, I don't care if you're "absolutely horrible at playing guys". Make one anyway and use him.
04. Please don't do this. It happens a lot. It may be easier but still. If you have another character already made and accepted please don't post -see so and so- for RP Sample. I don't want to go find your character and reread it. Just copy and paste it in your new topic. It's really not that hard. Trust me.
05. Respect all of the staff members. Being disrespectful to someone, especially someone with power over you, will not get you far.
06. No asking staff if you can become a staff. We will choose who we think are capable of being staff, if you ask us your request will be ignored and your chances of becoming staff will be ruined.
07. NO SPAMMING! Don't join a thread just to say, "Hey, come join our thread!"
08. Don't bug a person saying, "WHY HAVEN"T YOU POSTED ON OUR THREAD! POST!" Try to post as soon as you can, and do not pester like this.
01. NO GODMODING, please & thanks and no mary sue-ing either. Don't know what these are? PM me or google it. and don't get all physic with your character. Pretend like you don't know a secret, or if something bad is going to happen to your character dont run away from it.
02. This site rating Is PG-13. Cursing is allowed, but not excessively. And no sex scenes. If you must write one, title the post [R] and write it in white to spare our eyes. And none of the details, PLEASE!
03. PLEASE write something worth reading in your posts. Not just 1 liners. You must write a least one paragraph which is at least seven descriptive sentences. More will be accepted. Be descriptive!
04. One character per account. If you accidentally post as the wrong account then just copy and paste the post with the correct account and delete the wrong one. DON'T just leave it. I'm not going to run around tidying up after you.
05. No chat speak. The only exception to this is in Cell Phones, Emails, and IMs. If you talk like this on all your other sites or whatever I don't care. It's hard for me to understand and looks ugly. Rules word is trees. This is not allowed in the in character threads nor the out of character threads.
06. Please use proper spelling and grammar. I understand if you make a spelling error. But it's also possible to go back and edit a post. Please capitalize the first letter of the first word in your sentence and all names. I expect you are above 6th grade and know spelling and grammar.
07. Posts should always be in third person and past tense, except of course for when your character is talking.
08. Don't have crazy font colors in your posts. It's okay for character plotting, of course, but people might not want to read the posts if they are all a zillion different colors and sizes. Please only use the size one, it looks a lot cleaner and neater.
signatures and avatars
01. No huge signatures. You may have one big one that isn't any bigger then 500x250, two images that are around 250x250, or up to five icons. Text is okay in your signatures but don't put to much.
02. Avatars should not be bigger nor smaller then 100x100
03. Absolutely no indecent images. You should all know what that means, I shouldn't need to explain this one.
cbox
01. Don't spam the cbox. Ever.
02. This also classes as spam, but let me make it clear. DO NOT ADVERTISE IN MY CBOX. mmkay? The real password is Kaleidoscope. Thank you for reading all the rules.
03. Swearing is fine, being a moron is NOT.
04. NO TROLLING. This is deliberately trying to cause an argument and being a general pain in the ass. And it's not cool. at all.
