Please notice these rules are subject to change at any time.
#1 - Do not disrespect, flame, or harass members or staff.
Staff need to be able to their job, and members need to feel welcome. If you are making any of these above statements untrue, then you are in the wrong, and are upsetting someone else. Do not do this, we all have the right to feel welcome on our forum.
#2 - No Godmodding.
I cannot stress this enough, do NOT Godmod. It is extremely annoying, and you are not invincible in the role-play.
#3 - Ask the people you're role-playing with for permission before doing anything with their character.
This refers to killing off their character, or something large like that. For attempts of assault, you don't have to ask, but like the above rule reads, it is Victim's choice always.
#4 - Keep mind the forum's rating
We are a Teen forum. (Teen's). This will not change, and means Explicit Sexual engagement is not allowed on the forum. Keeping language within reasonable standards is completely necessary. You may curse, but not to the point of ridiculous standards. Doing the dirty with another character is not allowed anywhere on the forums, including personal messaging, because it violates Proboards ToS.
#5 - No spamming.
Do not spam. This includes double posting. If we see you doing this, large consequences may occur.
All of these offenses come with large warnings, so do not ignore them. If your warning level reaches 100, you will be banned from the forum.
#6 - Do not stretch the board with your signature.
If it stretches the board (Including just making the information under your avatar squished), it's too big. Please do not use signatures of that size, it makes the board look bent out of shape.
I believe max width is 500 for current monitor standards.
#7 - Do not Advertise.
In your signature, a link is fine. But don't make it ostentatious gaudy, or extra-flashy. Posting advertisement is not allowed in any way, as of yet.
Also, please do not post links in the Cbox. Try to avoid the:
"CLICK MY NAME!!!" Messages too, once is fine, twice is bearable, three times is annoying.
#8 - Please, do not be overly pessimistic.
It's okay to have a bad day, obviously, but please do not consistently be overly pessimistic and self pitying. If you're having that bad of a day consistently, try getting to feel better by doing something, but don't bring down everyone's mood by being a downer. We care, but it's not fair to everyone else.
#9 - You may NOT have more than one Role-Play Character on one account. Each must have it's own. Your display name (Inside the Profile) must have the same name as your character, if you have a character. If you are a Non-Role Player on the site, your Username may be anything non-profane under the forum's rating.
#10 - Do NOT Role Play before your account is approved. This is a punishable offense.
#11 - You may only have characters in two of three clans. If we catch you in all three, we'll throw out all three of your characters, and hit all them up with a massive warning.
#12 - No Sharing inside secrets of clans. This is grounds for a massive warning, the HQ boards are meant to be private, and if this integrity is not maintained, it is a ban able offense. Don't ruin the story for everyone.
#13 - Do not argue with members of the staff. A staff member will decide if it is arguing or debating.
#14 - Do not disobey a warning or decision by the staff. Questioning is one thing, but after you get your answer, don't keep arguing. This is one of the most important of these rules.
--------
Finally, keep in mind, that this forum operates on a three strike rule. Any infraction, no matter how small if performed three times will result in a ban.
