In case you didn't get the idea from the thread title, these rules are VERY important. In order to get accepted, you need to read these rules -- and find the word embedded in the rules that we ask for in your profile. I'm sneaky, huh?
1. Absolutely NO GodModing. GodModing is when you play someone else's character for them. [Example: Mary: Mary walked down the street and stopped to talk to Bob. Bob: Bob stopped to talk to Mary. She started jumping up and down and screaming.] That isn't really fair, y'know?
3. This site might have children on it (preferably not, but what can you do? Sometimes they manage to get on) -- so I'd like to keep the language PG13-rated. Yes, cursing is fine if it's in character/at the right time. Keep it gentle, though. No harassing other people! Also -- if you're going to "get busy" (I hope you all know what that euphanism means) Please put a smut warning.
4. I'd like to reiterate: NO HARASSING OTHER PEOPLE. Especially not through PMs and OOC. We do not, under any circumstance, want an RPer to feel threatened or insulted. In-character, it's iffy -- but slightly, slightly accepted. If it gets too out of hand, an Admin will step in.
5. I know I already said this, but I'll say it again. If your characters are "getting busy," or "getting their groove on" or whatever, PLEASE put a smut warning! Nobody likes to intrude on that stuff in RL, so we don't wanna do it in an RP. To go along with that, please use not-so-graphic euphanism. "C ock" and "d ick" -- they just don't appeal to the eye. Please try to avoid getting too graphic. Thanks!
7. Nobody inappropriate for avatars or signatures. AKA, you need to keep the avatars PG RATED. Signatures can be TEXT ONLY. Images are disabled. Sorry, but it makes it hard for people with slow computers.
8. No bumping topics, please. [/u]That just frustrates the 'last 10 posts' thing -- it annoys us, too. Only we are allowed to pump threads, because we spent hours creating this site for you to enjoy. We'll only do it if something needs attention, anyway.
9. NO ONE-LINERS. AT ALL.[/i][/u] It is not allowed on this site. We will PM you and delete that particular post if you do a one-liner. Your posts must be AT A BARE MINIMUM, four sentences long. We know you can write something lengthy -- please try to. Describe as much as you can! I admit that I prefer quality and not quantity, but I'd like something that I can respond to.
10. On this board, you must post in THIRD PERSON when you're IC. OOC, post in first person obviously. But other than that, post in third person. Thanks!! .If you've read these rules, please put 'Glory' for your password verification.
11. To go along with that, no chat speak at all. Chat speak is 'u r veri kewl' -- we use the real English language here, please
Thanks,
