As a mod, I know that it's very important that the forum rules are clearly written for you (the members) to understand. So I've taken this time to write out each of our rules, so that there is no confusion when you are warned or frozen. You must read all of the rules before posting on the forum! Not reading them is no excuse to be spared when we catch you breaking them.
Rule #1: No spam! Nobody likes spam, it's irritating, and it takes up space. Don't repetitively repeat the same post, write nonsense, post more than four times in the forum with no other members post in between (give them time to post in response), or post less than 100 words in the rp forum. This saves everyone's time, and makes the forum boards much easier to read.
Rule #2: No adult content! That means no intense romance on any boards, no extremely graphic violence, no dirty pictures, and no vulgar curses of any sort! If you are caught posting any sort of extreme adult content, you will be banned! So please refrain from doing it, help us keep the site friendly and clean.
Rule #3: No curses! Sometimes words slip out into the forum, but there's no reason that prevents you from going back and modifying the post so that it's safe. Curses may sometimes help describe a characters personality in detail, but there is no need for them, as there are plenty of other words that will help your characters personality surface just as well.
Sometimes people get a little carried away when posting on the forum, and happen to get upset at the other members. This is no excuse to let your emotions get control of you and start harassing the other members. Just because your character does not get along with another character does not mean you have the right to insult or belittle their owner.
Even character to character conversations shouldn't hurt the members feelings, as there should be no direct insults or curses (insults that directly harm or harass the characters member), and the drama should remain mellow and members can relax without the fear of mortal combat breaking loose on the boards (It has begun! :3 ) and ruining the day.
When posting, just try to remember:
None of this is real! It might as well be a dream, your character can get hurt, but it doesn't mean you'll be injured. You can have as many bad feelings as you want towards another character, as long as there are few to no bad feelings towards another player.
This is all just for fun! We've worked hard to make this place fun! There doesn't have to be any real world drama here, unless you want to bring the mod's awesome power down upon your head.
Stay in character! If you're a true rper, you'd know that your character doesn't even know that itself and the other character are controlled by different human beings (and squirrels). They wouldn't even know that there was another person to insult behind the other characters mask, so just stay in character and make sure there's no serious harsh words exchanged.
Romance: If there is a situation in which romance is involved, please don't post anything steamy on our forum! If you really must have your mushy stuff, use private messages or email. Keep everything on the forum PG 13.
Again, thanks for reading the rules!
