Site Rules

[Tasha_Moondancer]

SITE RULES FOR ALL TO FOLLOW!

1. The Golden Rule: Never disrespect, swear at, or harass [or anything you think might get you banned] other players or Admins/Mods.

2. Godmoding Pt. 1: Remember that you can only control your character (not those of others), unless you have the other person's permission. People are bound to be annoyed if you control their characters without their permission.

3. Godmoding Pt. 2: Never kill someone unless you have the permission of the person who created the role-play and/or the person whose character you are thinking of killing.

4. Carefulness To be fair, some rooms will need clearance before anything happens to it. So talk to the owner if its a specific place or else an ADMIN.

5. One-liners Please try and post more than one line. A good way to get past one-liners is use the 6 senses to describe the background. Think about what your seeing, hearing, feeling, thinking, your reactions to others, places, the way your clothes look and feel, color, your eyes, hair. There are many things that can help with making your posts longer. Look HERE for more ways to increase the size of your post.

6. No Rude Content: Posting rude content or a link to rude content will get you banned and deleted!

7. Activity: If you have not been active for over 40 days or you have visited the site regularly but have not posted, you will be deleted.

8. Emails: Please register with an email you use regularly, as we will be sending out emails with announcements and notifications. Also if you are inactive we will send you an email asking you to role-play. We will never spam your email or give it to another person.

9. Advertising: STRICTLY NO ADVERTISING UNLESS YOU HAVE PERMISSION! Any advertising for other sites needs to be done HERE

10. Spamming: STRICTLY NO SPAMMING!

11. Complaints: DO NOT complain about the rules. If you are banned/deleted don't whine and whine to anyone. If you do happen to have a complaint about anything then PLEASE, we urge you to take it up with a member of staff.

12. Role Plays: When you EXIT an area put (Exit) so we all know that your no longer playing in that area.

13. Bullying: NO BULLYING! If your caught cyber bullying somone YOU WILL GET BANNED FOREVER! THERE WILL BE NO BULLYING ON THIS SITE!

14. Account Approval: Your account MUST be approved before you can post in an RP thread with the account. And remember that it could take a little while before a member of staff gets back to you. Please listen to the member about anything they may ask you to edit/change on your profile. It is better to have something clear and easily understood by all.

You can find your character application sheets HERE

15. Post Count: You will be allowed ONE account to start with. After 50 posts (these are RP posts and not ooc) you may create a second character. After 50 with your second you may create a third. This is not to limit you, but to be sure to the staff that you are going to stick around rather than just create a character and leave it in limbo.

If you create an account before your 50 post minimum it will be deleted with a warning sent to your main account's PM. Do NOT try to fool us with separate emails as we can see IP addresses. Thank you.

16. NPC's: NPC accounts can be created, though only under special circumstance. You must have 100 posts (Again, RP, OOC not included) with any given character you may request to create an NPC. This does not count as a regular character therefore does not have to be played as often. You still have to fill out a character bio for the NPC, though it will not be as extensive. You only need to post with and NPC once every 4 months (though we hope to see more than that).

You can find your NPC character sheets HERE

17. Images: We ask that Avatars be no larger than 300X400 (width by height) and Banners be no larger than 600X275. These are large enough that everyone should be completely accommodated and everything visible.

18. Profile Links in Signatures: We ask that you leave some room (a minimum of 150 characters) within your signature for us to link your character's profile to your account. This way people don't have to go searching all over the place to find something out about you if they are RPing with you. Thank you.

STRIKE THREE: Deleted (applies to some rules)
STRIKE FOUR: I.P Address Banned (you will NOT have access to this site)
