Excessing will end up in a ban. - No bashing! When hating something explain in a mature way.

Stealing ones work (GFX, art or creative writing etc.) and passing it as your own is also prohibited! Spamming and you! - Any post irrelevant to the thread is considered spam. - One-liner posts such as "I don't know..." or "Yea I know.'' are spam too. - Spam discussions go to The can of Spam. - Double posting is spam.

Advertising - Advertisement in threads,posts, VM's or PM's. This is spam! - Ask a moderator for permission for your advertisement. Flaming about bans. - Pestering staff about bans is prohibited! We will not allow this. When one is banned, it is not without a reason. The staff hasn't the obligation to explain the reason for banning to other members. - Any flaming of staff due to a ban, will be issued with a ban. When you see somebody breaking one or more of the rules - Report the user. Just click on the report button. The mods will Take care of it. The report button is the exclamation sign. - Do not back seat moderate! We have a team of moderators with their task to address the members at fault. Please just report the person breaking the rules and leave it to our moderators. That's what moderators are for right? ~Guidelines~ Creating a thread First of all, the rules(listed above) are to be followed. When creating a thread, post it in the right forum. When it's not, the staff will move it to the right one. Avoid double posting or creating a doubled thread. Check the other threads in the forums before creating one!

RolePlay Rules and Guidelines~ Roleplay Guidelines~ Basic Terms RP: Roleplay/Roleplaying OOC: Out of Character IC: In Character Meta gamer: A person who uses OOC knowledge while being in Character. For example, Chara A knows Chara B's thoughts without Chara B showing any sign of it. Mary Sue: A stereotypical female character with no flaws. Gary Stu: A stereotypical male character with no flaws. Goddmodder: An RP'er that makes his/her character invincible or too strong. Goddmodding Types of Goddmodders - Aimbodders: Those who never miss their targets, no matter how hard it is. - god-moder: Those who can't be hit or just shrug it off. - idkfa-ers: Those who never run out of ammo. - twinks: Those with extra-ordinary strong powers. - min-maxers: Those who "balance" their characters powers, by giving them a huge strength and a fatal weakness. - Miss Cleos: Those who use their Out of Character knowledge. - McFlys: Those who do things hindsight - Puppetmasters: Those who RP with other people's characters for them. - Daydreamers: Those who RP completely irrelevant things. - Shoe Elves: Those whose RP actions and time against others while the others aren't present OOC, but are IC. - Revisionists: Those who ignore or alter RP's they don't like. - Speedhackers: who RP an absurdly time consuming sequence occurring between other people's actions. - Oxymorons: Those who play as characters that are completely impossible. - Baghdad Bobbits: Those who claim themselves as the winner with instant death attacks. - Gaseous Snakes: Those who've taken actions before starting to RP. - Augustines: Those who pull-in elements that were approved in an unrelated RP. - Batmen: Those who use an existing persona and only RP them when it helps. - Zoicite: Those who alter their character as needed for the situation. - NIMBYs: Those who declare their IC threads safe, but readily attack others. - Trinities: Those who gain abilities as they need them with no prior exposure. - Quakers: Those who pick-up things that spawn from seemingly nowhere. RolePlay Rules~ Other Characters They belong to their owners, whether their owner created them or adopted them. Do not play other people's characters. Unless you have been given permission to do so by it's owner, playing characters that do not belong to you will result in a warning. Speaking of which, we also reserve the right to move your character if that character is holding up the RP for everyone else. We don't want to have to do this, so please don't hold up the RP. If we cut off any RP you may have going by doing this, feel free to RP it between those involved and post it as a story. Post Etiquette In RP threads you are not to post OOC posts. This is considered as spam. It is allowed to post a short OOC post and with it an IC post. Don't let it happen to often. OOC posts are to be posted in OOC threads. Post it in the RP thread when there's no other choice! Do this regularly and you will be warned. Ignoring the warnings will result into a ban. When possible, avoid posts that are one or two sentences long. If you honestly can't think of anything to post, then it is acceptable, but this will not be acceptable on a regular basis. Be creative, describe what your character is thinking or feeling, make mention of that squirrel that just fell off a tree. When posting too many short posts you will be warned and it may result to a ban! Beware. Roleplay Content Do not start any major RP story lines without permission from the owner of the thread first. It may conflict with a storyline he/she already has in place. However, you can post more idea's in the OOC thread of the RP in question. If your idea won't work at the moment, chances are it will work at some point later on. This does NOT mean that you need their permission to do anything. This only applies to plot lines that will involve the entire plot or a significant portion of it. Roleplay Conduct No flaming. Ever. If you have a problem with someone on the list, settle it privately. If you cannot settle it privately, bring it to the staff and we will do our best to settle it for you, but only if you have tried every possible way to settle it yourself and still failed. If the problem is genuine, and we cannot do anything, measurements will be taken. We would rather not do this, so please don't let disagreements get out of hand. Please keep foul language to a minimum.. Keeping Player Knowledge Separate From Character Knowledge There may be points in the RP where a secret is revealed and out for everyone to read about. However, if chara A told chara B this secret while they were alone, no one else should know it. If you are unsure about whether your chara could have overheard, please ask before throwing this piece of information out as a topic of conversation around the dinner table. This also falls into implied secrets. For example - we all know the drill. A guy character hangs out with a girl character, it's assumed by the players (often correctly) that these two will soon embark upon a romantic relationship. However, if they have done nothing in the RP to indicate romantic feelings for each other, the others should not be talking about how these two are madly in love. This requires discretion, and again, if there are any questions don't hesitate to ask them. |
