These are the basic rules of the site. They are to be followed and observed by every member with no exceptions for staff. Breaking these rules will result in a warning, and then further consequence depending on which rule it is that has been broken.
1. The purpose of this board is to have fun and to learn. Every member should be treated with respect. Fights In Character should stay in character. Don't get mad at somebody because one of the characters they role play is being a jerk to your character.
2. Swearing should be kept to a minimum. In character it is fine in moderation as long as you character has reason to be swearing and not just doing it because they can. Out of character swearing will not be tolerated.
3. This board is an intermediate level role play. The shortest post allowed is five sentences. This really isn't that hard. One paragraph is good enough, but there's nothing wrong with posting more. We ask for at least one paragraph because it is very hard to reply to a one liner. If you can't come up with enough, add some more detail.
4. Activity here is key. I understand that we all have lives, so do I. But it is important to be active here because other people are counting on you to play your character so that they can play theirs.
5. I know what I'm doing. Don't question me or any other staff member unless you have good reason. If you think a member of the staff is acting wrong, PM me, Ani. If you've really read the rules, prove it. The real password is stare.
6. The advertising board is the only place to advertise. Any advertisements anywhere else will be deleted and you will be warned. This includes the c-box. Links in signatures are okay as long as they aren't huge and distracting.
7. Signature images should only be 500 pixels wide by 200 tall at the most. Any larger and they will be removed. Large images stretch the board and are distracting to members.
8. No liquid time. Your character can be at one post at a time, and that's it. If you want to go to another one, end the first one or at least have your character leave it.
9. Concerning Personal Messages: On this site they will be known as Pings. Now, pay attention to this because it is going to confuse a lot of you. read slowly. Pings (personal messages) are IN CHARACTER. They are notes from character to character, sent through interface rings. So, that means, that they are IN CHARACTER messages using the CHARACTER'S name, not OOC name. All Pings should be IC unless they are to a staff member or they have some IMPORTANT purpose like having to do with a sub-plot. This means that you should NOT open or send personal messages if your character is in a thread and does not have his/her interface ring on. That would be uglies and pretties sneaking out. Specials have skintenna, so unless they are out of range they can open messages. Smokies should not use private messages unless they are to staff members. If this doesn't make sense send me (ani) a private message (Yes, this one can be OOC because it is to a staff member). I hope that all made sense..
10. Have a picture of your character either in your avatar or signature. This is so that we can properly RolePlay with each other, and describe other characters.
