the rulesThere will be consequences of not following these rules. So please don't be the one person who decides these don't apply to them. They're fairly simple really.
001. respect
"...R-E-S-P-E-C-T find out what it means to me..." in essence - here is what it means to us. We, your lovely admin, work day and night to keep this place running. That means that we expect respect from you guys - as in no whining, or demanding, or telling us about how awful we are. We also expect you to give the same respect to your fellow members. Complicated idea? Nope. I think you guys can handle it.
002. word count
We are a literate site, so yes - we expect fleshed out posts. There is a 200 word count MINIMUM. It's not that hard, I promise you. We will ask you to modify any roleplay posts which do not reach this minimum.
003. grammar
Use it. Yeah, if you misspell totalitarianism, we'll give you a by. That's a hard word. But if you go around deciding that you're "too cool" for punctuation, yeah we're not alright with that. Please use proper sentence structure, paragraphs, spelling, capitalization - everything your teachers taught you!
004. mary/gary sues
Not every character happens to be beautiful, smart and the nicest person on earth. That being said, not every character happens to have lost EVERY member of their family, been the only survivors, etc. Every character has faults and strengths. Make sure you keep them balanced and REALISTIC.
005. appropriateness
Yup, we're PG-13. So we don't want to hear graphic descriptions of sex or any of that fun stuff. Swearing, you're alright as long as it is moderate and not out of hand. For the other stuff, please fade to black. Any inappropriate posts will be censored by Kin and I - and trust us, we will have fun changing your lusty night into a long detailed post about your character's love of cuddling and flowers.
006. odds and ends
- Images : Don't stretch the boards please
- Activity: Remain active, or limit your characters
- Chatbox : Be appropriate and friendly
- NO STEALING : got it?
- A bio may only remain WIP for a maximum of 2 weeks
pm an admin if you have questions about these!
