General Site Rules
be sure to follow these rules!
1. Follow and respect all the rules for the site.
2. For each character you plan to create, you must have a different account. This keeps things neat and orderly. It is easier for us, the staff, to organize this way. If you don’t want to make another account for another character, then you simply cannot make another character.
3. There will be no flaming or trolling. If it's a joke or playful banter, then it's fine. But if you are just outright being a prick, then may the staff have mercy. Your first charge will earn you a warning. The second time will earn you a temporary ban for a day. The third time will cause you a ban from both the site and the c-box for life. So please don't be a dick.
4. Double posting and spamming are forbidden on this forum. We define spamming as posting pointless, irrelevant crap wherever to fill up spots or build up post totals. Double posting is when you post directly after yourself with no one else in between. If you are caught spamming then you will receive a day ban. Double posting will result in the loss of XP.
5. Due to the Proboards TOS, sexual content is forbidden. If you are caught posting material of this nature on our site, you will be banned. This is to ensure the site's safety. There is no exceptions for this rule.
6. Grammar is a great thing to use. This means no text talk or l33t speech. If you are going to post, do it properly. Show people that you are a good role-player, not a bumbling idiot. Also, spell check your posts.
7. We know that not everyone is going to get along with staff, but we hope that you will. If you find it necessary to argue with a staff member, do so respectfully. We have no problem if you are calmly solving an issue. The moment you start flaming and bashing them, however, we intervene. If you are caught doing so, you will receive a one full day ban, effective immediately. If you must argue, be civil.
8. Respect the staff. Creating and maintaining a site takes a lot of time and effort on our part, and it really isn’t easy. It isn’t much of a stretch to ask for respect. If you are severely disrespecting a staff member, your first offense will receive a warning. The second offense will receive a one week ban. The third offense results in a permanent ban.
9. The site follows a three day rule. If you are rping with someone who hasn't posted in three days, you may skip their turn (as long as it doesn’t involve you, the skipper, double posting).
10. Don’t pester the staff about checking profiles or registrations. They are very busy with their duties and might not be able check things at any given time. It is also kinda irritating. If an application, registration, or profile has been untouched by a staff member for over two days, you may nag one of them about it. It will be our duty to check ASAP!
