General IC/OOC:
• Please, we request that you read these rules carefully and that you understand them.
• If you do not follow all of the rules listed below, there will be consequences.
• Don’t fight. Not ever on this site. Don’t get in a big argument with another member because whoever started it will be banned for 2-3 days, depending on what you got in a fight about and how damaging it was to the other member/s.
• Please, don’t advertise anywhere except for the cbox and in the advertising board. Don’t over-advertise. No one likes it when you interrupt other peoples’ conversations in the cbox. Please, don’t keep typing ‘Check out my site, check out my site’. And another thing, don’t spam. It’s quite annoying.
Applications/Joining:
• The application board is password protected to make sure that you read these rules thoroughly. While you are reading the rules, also be looking for the password so you can get started.
• Please, make your application have at least some detail. For the physical appearance, don’t just put ‘look to picture’ or ‘she’s 5’3”. She’s skinny. She works out.’ Look at the example in the application board for an example of what your application should look like.
• If you do a terrible job on your application, it will be declined. We admins will give you tips on how to make it better and if you still fail to make it any better, it will be deleted.
• Don’t make a character that is so out of this world that it’s stupid. No one likes characters that have special powers.
• Famous characters are allowed. If you want your character to be an actor or the heir to a throne, that’s fine.
• In the ‘Other’ part of your application, put the words in this picture so that I know you've read the rules. Click this period to get to the picture.
• Joking. Put "If looks could kill" in the other part of your application.
• We don’t want too much confusion so please, only one character per account, unless you are a twin. You may have as many accounts as you wish, as long as they’re active.
• Have your character’s first and last name as your display name. Instead of ‘taintedlove’, have ‘Callista Westermeyer’.
Role-playing Rules:
• NO CHATSPEAK when you are roleplaying. Chat speak is, for example ‘lol’ and ‘ttyl’, etc.
• No big eyes! Your character can not read another character's mind!!
• Please, no power playing!!! It annoys everyone!!! Don’t put in your role-play, ‘Jamie kicked Sam and Sam broke her leg.’ No. Don’t do that. If anyone chat speaks or power plays while you’re roleplaying, please, inform one of the administrators and there will be consequences.
• We expect a 2 paragraph minimum for each post. No one likes to type up a 5 paragraph post and then get a 2 paragraph reply to it. So please, it you know you can’t type a big reply to a big post, then don’t reply. Common sense.
• I know that people have their off days. Just try your best.
• Yes, we know, not everyone is a good speller. That’s why there’s spell check. Instead of always typing ‘ehr’ on accident, you can use spell check and you’ll realize you spelled her wrong.
• Okay, this might not annoy others but it sure annoys the hell out of me. I absolutely hate it when you’re rp-ing and you have a love plot. Then, in like the third post, they say they that they know you’re the one for them. I hate it. Please, don’t do that. It’s unrealistic. You don’t just know that you’re going to be with someone for the rest of your life just by looking at them.
• I know from experience that when you want someone to reply to your thread and they say their busy, it’s a bit annoying. But, it’s just as annoying when someone keeps bugging you about replying. So, don’t keep nagging. It’s annoying. Really. They’ll reply to the thread eventually. Be patient.
• When you want a particular person to reply to a thread you make, tag them. For example- ‘Ying and yang -JAMIE-‘That’s how you tag someone. By putting their name in the title of the thread. Okay?
• If you’re low on muse, then don’t reply to a thread. Tell the maker of the thread you’ll reply ASAP. That way, you’re not getting bugged.
Sexual Content:
• There is sexual content allowed on this site. If you have a problem with it, sorry but tough luck.
• Please don't go into nasty graphics. We don't need to know how they were playing with each other and all that crap. Please just stick to the basics.
• You may join pregnant, but only with one child.
Signatures and Avatars:
• NO huge pictures in your signatures. Anything bigger than 400x500 is too big. A good, recommended size is 350x450.
• All avatars must be 100x100 or 80x80. Nothing bigger and nothing less.
• No nudity in your signature pictures. Please, don’t even link it.
• Use tinypic, imageshack, or photobucket to upload pictures. Use the
• Use common sense. Your siggy picture is not going to be of another person. Put a picture of your character in it.
• You can have up to two pictures in your signature. If you have more than two, link it.
• If instead of a picture, you have a row of avatars, that’s fine but no more than 5 avatars.
Parties:
• You are allowed to have parties, that's fine.
• Whether it's at your house or at one of the small restaurants, whatever, it's fine.
• If your party must be risque, please put a warning in the title. thank you.[/sup][/center]
