Out of Character
In Character
Penalties
Overall
- respect other members
- listen to the staff
- keep any disagreements private and off the boards
- sigs have to be of a reasonable size. if their too big you will be told, if you don't fix the problem,i will.(max size should be 700 x 150 for images,or 400 characters for text.)
In Character
- do NOT god-mode or power-play. that means, whatever you do,you let the other RPer have a chance to react. this includes killing other players without their permission. they have the right to object and have a mod decide if something happened or not.
- posts should be of a decent size. at least 4 sentences. they do not have to be flowery, in fact that makes it hard for some people to understand what is going on.
- if your RP has a specific plot or setting, be sure to include the background information on it in the first post. that way people know how to respond
- keep the RPs on the appropriate boards. for instance, if the genre your doing has it own board, put it there. also, don't put threads of the wrong genre on a genre-specific board.
- keep it PG13.
- keep the IC boards in character. if you need to say something OOC during an RP, set it apart by putting it in parentheses or putting OOC: in front of that part of the text, or both.
Penalties
- disrespect of staff and other members/godmoding/power-playing: warning of 10 for first offense. doubles each time after that. posts in question may be deleted
- not listening to staff when told of a problem: warning of 5.if problem persists,staff will deal with it themselves(i.e.,remove the sig.)
- not posting on the appropriate boards: warning of 1.thread moved to correct board.
- inappropriate/graphic/etc posts:warning of 5 on first offense,doubles each time after that. threads/posts deleted.
- once warning level reaches 100, you are banned.
Overall
- use spell check. its provided to you and having good spelling makes posts anywhere easier to understand
- don't use all caps, for anything, it is annoying. also don't use alternating caps like TiHs or tHiS for example, that is just as annoying if not more so.
- i will check for activity once a month. anyone who hasn't signed on in over a month will be deleted.
