Spam. No spamming/trolling/flaming of any other members.
Advertising. Advertising is allowed for those who reach a post count of at least 10. Any form of advertising should be posted in the advertisements section. It is also allowed in the C-Box, but to a certain extent. Please check the C-Box Rules for more information.
Swearing. This board has a tolerant view of swearing so long as it's not used excessively either in or out of character. If your post has heavy swearing we ask that you please include an ooc warning at the beginning of it.
Registering: When registering, please use the name of your character or the name of the canon you're intending to take. If you're chosen canon name is already taken (ie; Cloud Strfie) and you know that the character is inactive (not signed on for one month without previous warning) then you may sign up as an alteration of their name (ie; Cloud) and an admin will fix things for you, if you're accepted as that canon.
Sexual Content. Please fast-forward past any raunchy scenes. This board is not R-rated; we have young members. Please be subtle and caring for them (we don't want them getting offended or in trouble because of their parents). If your thread is going in that direction, please include an ooc warning before it goes too far. It's Disney for Pete's sake.
Thread invasion. If two characters are having a conversation or something, it's not right that another can just barge in. If there's an 'in' (I.e, a good place for your character to make an entrance), fair enough but if you get too many people jumping in it can get confusing.
Godmods. Obviously the no-godmodding rule, and regular RP rules, apply here. Each person has a right to their own character. Do not RP for others without their prior permission. Do not inflict direct harm upon another person in a fight. By all means post that a punch is thrown, but it's up to the other character's player to decide if it hits.
Canon. If a person takes a Canon, they should put Canon either in their character creation thread title or in the thread itself, for the benefit of us updating the list. Please try to remain as active as possible with canons. They're an integral part to this RP. Also, when making an original, don't blatantly rip off a canon.
Admins. Admins and staff have authority. Please adhere to their rules, and do not flame them for making a decision you don't like. By all means politely post or PM your comments, but don't be immature. Or else we will take more action. The admin rules are law.
Respect. Be nice. Period. Any arguements should not make their way onto the forum. Thanks.
Posts. Post a long enough post that you give the other players something to work with. Even if your character doesn't say anything, talk about he/she feels, thinks, etc. Try not to do one-liners if you can help it. We would rather at least 5 sentences, but do your best.
Absence. Please give notice if you're going to be away for 5+ days. Of course, unexpected circumstances can arise, and we'll forgive you, but if you know you're gonna be away, please give some notice so your fellow RPers are aware.
Read. Please be sure you read all posts in the thread your character is in before posting. You might miss something important if you don't.
Credit. Never, EVER plagiarize. If you take something from somewhere else, credit the source.
Running. Please don't run off with a topic. If there are 3 or more people in a topic, please wait for people to post. Not more than three posts between two of the individuals in the thread, in order to allow the others to catch and keep up (long conversations that leave out the third person are never fun). If you need clarification, please PM an admin or a mod.
Registration. Only staff members are allowed to post in another person's character profile thread. If you feel that you have an idea or concern that might help out the registration process, feel free to PM someone. If a character's bio is posted and has not yet been accepted, please refrain from mentioning him/her in the C-Box.
And finally the most important rule of all:
HAVE FUN.
Any questions? Please post them in the appropriate forum, or PM an admin. We don't bite, and we'll be more than happy to help you. That's what we're here for =)
