General Rules
These rules are extremely important and MUST be followed. There's not an unmerciful amount of them, (we're admins, not nazis) but as I said, they are extremely important and we won't cut you guys any slack if they're broken. Any failure to uphold these rules will be dealt with accordingly.
The password to the First bio board is hidden in these rules. You won't miss it or strain your eyes searching for it if you read the rules as you should. And trust me, I will know if you don't
1.) This is the most important rule of them all: No giving out personal or private information about your identity in real life. There are more stalkers out there than you think, and chances are, they're friendly and act pleasant just like everybody else for a while.
If you're caught asking personal questions of any kind or giving out your information, it will result in an immediate ban. No warning, no tolerance. And if you ask or start giving out your own information again after that, then it will result in deletion of your account. I'm serious about this one guys, and I don't care if you get mad and throw a fit about it, you're life is more important than our friendship.
2.) No harassment or insulting. Seriously, we're here to have fun, not hurt feelings and cuss people out in the cbox. Now, if you guys have a problem, you can duke it out and tackle each other down the hill, I don't care. But when it starts to get serious and people are starting PMing me and/or dropping F bombs and stuff, then that's a violation to this rule.
You get two warnings, then a ban.
3.) No spamming up boards! I understand meaningless outbreaks of insanity, but just make sure you're not the ONLY one losing your mind. As in, no double posting, and sure as heck no triple posting. The codephrase is Frozen. If you forgot to say something in your post, modify it in or wait until someone else responds then correct yourself. I prefer you modify.
Two warnings, then a ban.
5.) Cussing is allowed only to a certain degree, and the vowels must be censored out with a *. If your character is one of those that continuously use filthy language, you'll be warned twice, then that's a ban. There could be kids on this site, and I'm not a fan of stuffing their minds with stuff like this. You never know who you're a role-model to.Posting Rules
6.) As far as romance and children goes: Don't be nasty. Do not role play out your bedroom crap. Nobody wants to see that. We have no problem with your charrie having kids, but rped sex is a no-no here. If you DO rp out stuff like this, the thread will be deleted and I'll ban whoever's involved. Mkay?
7.) No freaking powerplay! Definitely not! And if you don't know what this is, me and you are probably going to have some sort of a problem down the road. Powerplay is when you say, "Jimmy stabbed Bob in the face and blood went everywhere." Instead of, "Jimmy thrust the knife at Bob's face, which would result in much bleeding if it hit." If you have permission to powerplay, then that's fine. But if not, you'd get two warnings then a ban.
8.) The opening post of a thread must be at least 3 paragraphs. None of this: Ricky went into the cave, "Is anybody there? I'm bored." mess. We want to know DETAILS about the setting, your character's response to the setting, the effect the setting has on your character, and what they're thinking/doing there.
You won't get banned for this, but if you keep breaking this rule, I will personally see to it that your life here becomes nothing but a huge, public lecture. And plus, nobody likes to respond to 3 liner topics. Be creative!
9.) For every normal post, at the very least ONE 5 sentence paragraph. Jeez. Make it interesting. And I don't want to see 1 paragraph that takes up 7 lines and talks about 4 different things. That's a personal peeve of mine.
3 warnings, then you might get a ban. Depending on what mood I'm in and if you're giving me effort or not.
10.) You cannot kill another person's character without permission. 'Nuff said.
You're at that person's mercy.Character Rules
11.) Alright, this is a new rule, and I never really thought there would be a need to make it. But no Homos! Gay charries are not allowed. There is no-tolerance for this kind of perversion. If you are this kind of person, or want to do anything of or relating to this, then you shouldn't join this site.
A deleted bio, and a lecture on following rules.
12.) Do not make any characters who are related to one of the cannons without permission from both me and that cannon's RPer.
A warning, a lecture you won't forget in a hurry, and a deleted bio.
13.) Your character cannot be better than an original character at their own game.
(EX: they can't be faster than Sonic or stronger than Knuckes. But you could say 'stronger than Amy' because she's not suppose to be one of the strongEST). Get it? Good. If this rule is broken the bio will be deleted and you will be asked to start over.
14.) No demon chars or story lines involving heaven, hell, demons or angels. We're in the usual life. You can say your character is demon possessed, but they can't be a demon themself. THIS IS NOT INUYSHA!
The punishment depends on what this involves. If it is a bio or fanfiction we will ask you to remove it, and if it's not removed by you, we will remove it ourselves. If it is a thread, we will remove it and then send you a PM reminding you of the broken rule.
15.) Be creative with making original characters. No one is impressed if you have a charrie who is mean to everyone because his girlfriend got shot. Or someone who is naturally nice and perfect without reason. (The real codephrase is 'fridged', forget the other phrase) Or "they were created by eggman but escaped and are now all emo and stupid of the ways of the world." Not everybody in the world has a heartbreaking sop story, this isn't Gotham city. We'd much rather see a Bat who hops around and attempts to eat grass like a kangaroo. You don't have to have a depressed charrie or one hyped up on Prozac to have a good plot. There is still such a thing as law penalty.
Your character will not be accepted.
16.) Don't go crazy with making alot of one species. Such as creating 10 hedgehogs and only one fox.
We will not accept any farther bios, and may restrict one of the characters you already have.
Be sure you put your bios in the registration board in the Character Registration Category.
Follow the rules and enjoy! And also check up on the joining rules every now and then because they change from time to time.
