THE ULTIMATE RULEBOOK
Hello dear. The title says it all. YES you do need to read them. I realize it is a boring business, but it’s for the best honestly. Make sure to understand everything and NOT break any rules or the admins will be forced to take action.
REPORTING FOR DUTY registering with the site
[*]Proboards are strictly 13+, therefore, we will not accept anyone below that age.
[*] If you create an account, you are committing yourself to fill in a profile. Lurkers are not permitted.
[*] A character application must be posted within 2 weeks of joining the board, otherwise the account will be deleted. If you require an exception to this rule, please speak to an admin.
[*] Once a profile has been submitted and approved activity is very important; especially when you apply for a canon character. We know you have a life but at least two posts a week for original characters and 3 times a week MINIMUM for Cannon Characters. If you Can not do this for a specific reason please let me know.
[*] If you need to leave for a period of time, post in the appropriate absent category or inform a staff member.
WHEN YOU SEE MY FACE hope it gives you hell
Applying
[*] The application needs to be filled out with care. Refrain from using abbreviations or text-talk.
[*] If you do not use the provided code the application will NOT be reviewed. However, you will be reminded to go over it and fix as necessary
[*] Once the application has been submitted, please DON’T send messages to the admins about acceptance. Like you, we have real life to attend to so be patient and wait at least 48 hrs before catching an admin’s attention. PLEASE be polite in doing so. PMs, as opposed to personal Emails, are preferred.
[*] You have a limit of 10 days to modify your application to meet the character requirements of the admins. If you do not meet the requirements your application will be DENIED. Feel free to reapply.
Character
[*] Gary Stus and Mary Sues. No one likes them and if you don't know what they are Google them.
[*] No one is perfect, therefore perfect characters are not allowed. Your character may have good qualities, but that doesn't mean they never make mistakes. Make sure there's that something that sets your character apart from the rest.
[*] Pregnancies, suicides and deaths happen. Nonetheless, members are expected to PM an admin before carrying out any of the mentioned above.
[*] Face Claims... do not use unknown face claims or site models. If you're desperate to use one of them, Ask me for permission and I will let you know if it is ok. Face claims of children under 13years are strictly prohibited.
AND HERE'S YOUR LIES you can look me in the eyes
Roleplaying
[*] After being accepted change your display name to your character's name.
[*] All levels of experience are accepted, as long as the person in question can post at least one to two decent paragraphs.
[*] One line posters are NOT tolerated. The word count here is 200 minimum. If you do not follow this rule then it will result in a warning.
[*] Always reply in third person, keep in mind you're not writing your own diary. And NO slang language such as IM chat words or acronyms.
[*] When you're character is speaking use quotation marks (" ") Please at least bold it. It makes it easier to reply when you can easily see what the other character said.
[*] Godmodding is FORBIDDEN
[*] OOCs should be AVOIDED in roleplay.
[*] Creativity and originality are encouraged, especially when it comes to coding which makes posts look more attractive.
Rating
[*] We know that sex and such happens but please, try to keep it PG-13.
[*] If your post is above PG-13 material please most an {M} or {R} in the title. If you break this rule you will get a waning and one of the admins will immediately fix the post title.
[*] Please keep violence and cursing at a minimum.
ANOTHER PALE MOON shines like high noon
Anything else
[*] You are allowed to have as many characters [both canons & originals] as you like, as long as you keep the whole lot active.
[*] Before creating another character, your newest character must have at least 25 IC posts.
[*] Always respect the staff and other members.
[*] We would also appreciate if you don't spend your whole time on the IC and OOC c-boxes, keep in mind that you are here to roleplay and it's not nice to keep others waiting for a long time.
AND YOU CAN TAKE BACK memories they're no good to me
We will be watching you, so do not break any of the above rules. Just like in baseball you have 3 strikes before you're out... or as i like to call it banned and deleted. Behave yourselves and most important of all, have fun :]
Your loving admin, Samantha
AND THERE'S ANOTHER CHANCE try to learn a lesson
This wonderous rulebook was created by Piexiato (aka T!NA) of Caution 2.O. However, feel free to modify when needed. The lyrics are credited to The All American Rejects. It's important that you do not remove this credit [no matter what the reason is] or I shall track you down and unleash my army of squirrels xP
