GENERAL RULES
CHARACTER RULES
IC RULES
[/size][/justify]
• If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask. The staff won't bite and we don't mind answering questions.
• Respect is a must. Remember the golden rule: do unto others are you would want them to do unto you. Or treat people the way you want to be treated. Be kind, please. Besides, no one likes annoying and rude people. They're just not fun to be around.
• Listen to the staff. We are here for a reason. What we say goes. Don't forget that.
• There should be no posting until your character is accepted. The only play an unaccepted account is allowed to post is in the registration board, claims, and member's lounge.
• One character on each account keeps things nice and neat. And only four characters per person. Besides, it can get confusing if you have multiple characters on one account or too many of them.
• Multiple characters need to meet certain criteria. You must have at least ten in character posts before making a second character. If you have two already, you must have at least ten with both existing characters. No games, no OOC posts.
• People with multiple characters must keep each and every one active. If the staff feels that you are not keeping up with one or two of them, we will give you notice before we delete the inactive character. This way we make sure claims stay open for those who will really use them.
• Avatars and signatures are to be of your character and your character only. Also, make sure they don't stretch the page. Rissa worked really, really hard on this skin and we want it staying pretty.
• No spamming. It's annoying and hard to clean up. Plus, it clogs the system and is a waste of time. Clogging is icky and we don't like icky things.
• Keep txt language to a minimum. Please. No one looks intelligent when they use it. U is not a word. It's a letter. Okay? And don't even think about using it in an in character post. Also, remember: spell check can be your friend. Don't be afraid to use it, either, okay?
• Advertisements are to be posted in the plug-in board only. Ads should not be seen anywhere else, that's why we have that board.
• Stealing is illegal on Earth and here as well. Everyone else put a lot of effort into their things so don't steal them.
• Have fun. Does this even need an explanation?
CHARACTER RULES
[/size][/justify]
• Mary-Sues and Gary-Stus are not allowed. Perfect is simply impossible and, not to mention, really creepy and extremely boring. Try to give your character a little flair. The imperfections might just be what make them amazing.
• Face claims are to be of celebrities and celebrities only.
• Each species is limited to two people per animal: a male and a female. There are thousands and thousands of animals in the world and it's a first-come-first-serve situation. Be creative. They cannot be extinct or fictional.
• If we say something is wrong with your character, chances are, something is wrong. Don't argue. It most likely cannot be negotiated and will save everyone a lot of time if you just comply.
• Creating a character and then pulling a disappearing act isn't cool. If you disappear, your application will be placed in the archives. If you just happen to reappear, just ask and we will fish it back out.
• Application should remain in the format provided and the subject should be LAST NAME, FIRST NAME.
• Your display name should be changed to your character's first, middle and last name in ALL CAPS. Please keep things looking neat by conforming to normalcy when it comes to this, okay?
IC RULES

• God-modding and power-playing is illegal and just not cool so don't do it, okay?
• Remain in character, please. Unless it's just a tiny, added note, there are other places you can post out of character.
• Grammar is nice. We know that not everyone is perfect and surely there are people on different levels here but please try and keep to the basic grammar rules.
• DO NOT TYPE IN ALL CAPS. Doesn't that look mean and rawry? It's annoying and it looks like you're yelling at us. Guess what? WE YELL BACK. So, please, just don't do it.
• All roleplaying posts must be kept up to par. This means that we do not accept 100 word posts. You do not have to write a novel, but you have to be able to give your thread partner something interesting to work off of. We feel 300 words is sufficient.
• The rate of the site is PG-13 which means you can't get too explicit. While we do allow a little violence and the like, we may have innocent little children wondering around here. Do not break Proboards TOS.
