The Rules - Posted By Melody/Max (admin) on 23rd Jan 08 at 1:46pm
As everyone knows when I site grows and changes some problems a cure. Well form my own experience from my other site this is really true, so I have set up a list of rules for this site that will help eliminate some of the problems before they happen. I'm sorry if some of them are drastic and don't sound fair. If you have any complaints PM me and we will talk it through and get your problem settled.

1. You can't RP without an accepted profile

2. Don't ask me to be a mod or admin. That is all decided through the resume data you fill out which can be found bellow. (If you are picked to be staff it will be do to your abilities and skills in programing and running a vForum site)

3. Your characters can't just disappear in an area. Please post that your switching areas or something of that nature. But you can rp in two places at once. It is called different time zones.

4. ((OOC:)) (Out Of Character) Use the the OCC tags to let everyone know where your going or to let ppl know that your going to bed or help each other out and point out their mistakes.

5. If you have any r rated topics to rpg about keeping in with the rpg. Please post in the Mature board for Mature. Thank you

6. You can have characters with powers as long as they do not god mod. So no god modding (Power playing).

Look at a thread title before joining one.
Does it say (Open)? If it does, or says nothing next to the title, it's open for anyone to join. If there is a person's name there, it's meant for that person. If you wish to join a thread -ASK- the creator of the thread first unless it states it's open RP. It's highly rude to crash a thread, and if you do it enough times, your character(s) will be suspended.

8. Post quantity.
This is one of the -biggest- rules. -DO NOT DO ONE LINE-. Don't think two lines will suffice either. We will push that posts need to be at least NINE sentences. It highly frustrating for a person to put paragraphs of RP forward, to then return, and there is one line of the person doing almost nothing. With OC's who do this too often, we can suspend your account. If you can't bother to contribute positive things to our site, we don't need you to contribute at all.

9. Thread Hijacking.
This has been happening a bit as of late, and must be addressed. This is when a person or persons join a thread, and begin to post back and forth at a very quick rate, leaving the others in the thread pretty much out of what is going on. -DO NOT DO THIS-! Some people can not post as often as others, and if you can not be patient, start a different thread with other people who can. There is more to this, but that will have it's own section.

10. Post order is your friend.
Whenever in a thread with more then two people, assume Posting Order is in effect. Starting from the post creator, and look to where the creator posts again, this will become the order. You wait until your turn. Anything else is very rude, and will make people not want to RP with you. If you can't wait, start your own thread, and keep it small. Also, do not hound people to post if you're waiting on them. It's going to make them not want to, and that can cause problems all it's own.

11. No Flaming. Flaming is the open discrimination of another person on this forum due to any reasons such as race, gender, religion, sexuality, the flamer just being a dickhead, etc.

12. No baiting. Baiting is what it is called when an individual purposefully tries to get another to flame them.

13. Respect the Staff. Disrespect will not be tolerated on the site, the staff worked hard to make the site as you see it now and deserve a little bit of credit for all the blood, sweat and tears that they had to gush to create it!


14. Penalties. People listen I don't wanna ban anyone but that doesn't mean I won't! If you cause trouble I will give you warnings and if you continue causing trouble. I'm sorry to say but I will have to band you and if that wont work I will delete your account.

1 offense=Warning
2nd offense= Second Warning
3rd offense= Three Day Ban.
4th offense= 2 Months Ban
5th and final offense=Deletion of Account

Character Profile Acceptance Password: Angels
