[/li][/ul]Here are the rules we all love and need. Follow them and your life will be just so much easier, as well as mine. I do not have that many, but it is important to follow the ones I do set and it is important to realize more may be added at any point.Signing Up
- You may sign up under any username you like. I don't care what it is. But, as soon as you are accepted, you MUST change your display name to your character's name. This may consist of first and last or first, middle and last. There will be no making it fancy. Just plain and simple.
- Use the code for the application that is provided. If you do not use this code, I will post and tell you to use it and use it the way I have made it. Your character will not be accepted until that is complete.
- You have one week to post and complete an applications until your application is deleted. If you have posted a leave of absence, you will not be deleted, though.
In-Character
- Make your character realistic. No perfect chars, not everyone's mother died when they were younger. Just be realistic and creative.
- This board is a mature RPG. There will be drugs, cursing, sex and all that. I do ask members to use their discretion and put some kind of clear warning such as 'R' or 'M' or 'MC' for boards that have mature content because other people do read the thread and they do not want to be surprised by sex.
- Please, be literate. That means at least three paragraphs a post. There is such thing as writer's block. So, occasionally, I will not mind shorter posts, but make it a habit and you will be getting a PM from me letting you know to lengthen your posts.
- Sigs may be no wider than 500 pixels. As for the length, just don't stretch the boards. You will get a PM warning and a day later, I will delete it with a not in your sig telling you it was too big.
- If you post an un-finished app, you have one week to complete it. After that it will be deleted. I may be lenient and give you more time, but it might be deleted, so warning.
**Note: There is an exception to this rule. If you have posted a 'leave of absence' your application will not be moved.
Out Of Character
[/size]- Be respectful of all members. It may be OK for your character to say racist, sexist comments in character, but if you say that AT ALL out of character, you will get one warning before you will be suspended for three days. There is ZERO tolerance for that and if you say anything along those lines after your suspension, you will be banned from the board.
- BE ACTIVE! Active members are key to a good roleplay. If you are NOT active, you will be sent a PM, followed by an email before your account will be deleted. Also, keep your eyes open for activity checks because if you do not reply to those, your account will be deleted.
- If you are going away, post on the 'leaves of absence' board so I know you are gone. If an activity check takes place during the time you are gone, your name will automatically be added to the list of active members.
See, that's all my rules for now. Follow 'em, and we will all get along. So, go post your apps now![/blockquote][/blockquote]
