Rules
The smaller text is just there if you don't understand what the rule means.
RP Rules:
- No Godmoding - Making your character invincible.
- No Powerplaying - Playing another person's character without their permission.
- Try to write at least one paragraph per post. - That is to say, there is no word limit, however we want to keep the RP literate. One liners will not be tolerated, however quantity is not preferred over quality.
- Keep violence to minimum. - You may not kill a canon character, and you may not kill another character without the RPer's permission.
- You may not permanently injure any characters. No amputees please. No blinding, castrating, dismembering.
The RP would like to keep a mostly PG-13 feel, to try and keep with proboards TOS. However, I honestly don't care. If you don't feel you're old enough to deal with things such as sex, language, and violence, then don't join.
The rules regarding such things are as follows:
- If a board is above what you consider "PG-13" please rate it in the title, so people will not read it by accident.
- You'll have to communicate with other RPers about what they feel comfortable RPing. That's what the Chatbox is for, that's what the OOC boards are for.
- Do not be presumptuous, do not assume just because someone "seems mature" they'll be okay with anything you throw at them.
Ratings:
Ratings in different countries are very different. Since I'm not American, we're going by my country's rules.
PG-13:
Minimal language, you can only use the word "Fuck" twice before it goes up in rating.
No sex, but being naked is okay as long as it's not sexual.
Minimal violence. Minimal blood. No more than 2 explosions involving people.
R
The equivalent of 17+ (Why it goes from 13 to 17 I'll never know).
Swearing, to a point. There is absolutely no punctuating words with swear words. That just makes you look immature, and rude.
Non-descriptive sex, how this works in RPing well... Will be interesting to find out.
Violence, but still hopefully not too much blood. No more than 4 explosions involving people.
NC-18
18+ I'm hoping not to see very many of these? Unless it's for the obvious reason. *cough*
You can swear. But we're still not punctuating words with swear words.
Sex. Need an explanation? Why do you think they rate the "dirty" things on the kinkmeme this? Don't look so shocked, I know we all go there.
Violence is allowed. But we still don't want maiming.
OOC Rules:
- No directing swear words at other people. - This means, you can swear all you like, but as soon as you start calling other people names, you'll be warned.
- No pornographic images. If you draw something and you're like totally proud of it, link to the place where you host it such as deviantart or live journal.
- Please don't get into big arguments. I can't expect everyone to be super sun shine happy friends, but please don't start hating each other over the internet. The last thing we need is an international incident sparked over an RP.
- You may advertise sites per 50 posts you make. (Unless I've posted an advertisement on your board, in which case just make a username(Your site name) and post) So no making an account, advertising, then dying. Yes, you may advertise for your friends. This means every 50 posts you make, you may advertise one more site. Anything else will be deleted.
Activity
- If you go away,post in the "Away" forum. Each person has a 30 day "grace" period. Within that 30 days, they may come on at anytime and post an "Away" message. Anytime after that, the account may be deleted without warning.
- You do not need to be on every day, we have lives thanks. But you need to be aware of other RPers. Making someone wait a week without an explanation is extremely rude.
- Do not simply sign up, and then chat in the chatbox. I know it's cute, and you want to pay lots of attention to it, but you should try and post soon after you are accepted. If you do not post for the first time within 2 weeks of being accepted, without reason why, and someone expresses interest in your character, your character may be removed without warning.
- When you go away, if you do not leave a specific time frame for "awayness" and you do not return for 3 months, the character may be terminated for another person to use.
Chatbox
- Be nice, I do not want you fighting in the chatbox. If you're going to fight, post it in OOC so we may read it later... B... Because that's fun.
- I don't care if you swear in the chatbox, but don't swear at people.
- Don't RP in the chatbox, that's what the boards are for. That is to say, if you feel like being in character and acting silly, that's okay, just don't do actual RPs pertaining to the RP in the chatbox.
- Don't invite your friends and take over the chatbox. I don't mind if you're hanging around for a few days to see how you like the site, check activity etc. But don't have like parties in the chatbox if you don't plan to join.
