1. No racist, sexist or hurtful pictures, links or comments are allowed here. This board is meant for everyone, no matter what race or sexuality. If I hear of or catch you saying or doing something that is disrespectful to any member or staff of this board, you will be banned. PM me if you have any questions, problems or comments regarding this rule. I assure you, this rule will be backed up 100%.
2. No spamming is allowed. Not sure what spam is? Well, when you advertise your site through PM or anywhere but the 'advertisement board', then that is called spamming. There is a board for advertising, so don't do it everywhere else. Also, when you double-post or flood out threads/boards with threads/posts it is also considered spamming too. Don't do. It's annoying as hell, and it may be funny to you, but it's stupid and ignorant to me.
3. You must have your application accepted before posting around on the site, unless you're claiming/reserving a character or something similar to that. If you do post around before getting accepted, your posts may and will be deleted. Also, do not sign up just to advertise your site. Guests are allowed to advertise, so there is no need in signing up just to advertise your sites. If you do so, then any traces of your site will be deleted and so will you, so I suggest you don't do it. It isn't fair, especially if you reserve a celebrity.
4. The only time you can have two or more characters on one single account is if you have twins, triplets or quads. If you are only making siblings or even two entirely different characters, which aren't related, you can not make them on the same account, you'll have to make separate accounts for each name. If you even attempt this, your application will be ignored and there will no warnings about it either.
5. You're signatures do have a limit. Since I am a perfectionist and a neat-freak, I don't like huge signatures, especially if they stretch the board or take up half of the board. The limit to all signatures is 420 x 200. There will not be any exceptions to the size limit of anyone's signature, so don't ask. Any signatures larger than the limit size will be deleted. If you continuously put it back, you will probably be banned.
6. You may not have as many characters as you want. The limit to the amount of characters you can have is four. About the only time I will let you have more than four characters is if you are an extremely good RPer and you are very active. If I let you have more than four characters and you go inactive, I'll delete one character of your choice. If you have a problem with this, take it up with me through PM.
7. You must have a proper name when signing up. This means that you must use a full name and you must not have any numbers or designs in it. Names such as Janette Raynes and Arnold Harrison are allowed. Names such as Dane23 or ~Alice~ aren't accepted. If you create an account with an improper name, your character will be ignored, and maybe deleted. If you aren't used to invisionfree or forgot about using a proper name, please PM me and tell me what you would like your name changed to. That way I can change it and there are no problems.
8. Sex is not allowed on this site. No sex.
9. No Mary-sue characters are allowed. Everyone hates mary-sue characters. If you aren't sure what a 'Mary-sue' character is, I will explain. A Mary-sue (or Garey-Stu) character is a character which is perfect. No one is perfect in real life, so no one will be perfect on this board. Also, a Mary-sue is a character with superhero/god-like powers. They can also be angels, demons, etc. So any Mary-sue character will be deleted. Do not make them, it will be a waist.
10. No power-playing is allowed. Don't know what that is? Well, if you're character knows about something that happened, and he/she wasn't there to hear it or doesn't have source of information, but you know OOC, then it is a form of power-play. Your character must have heard it from someone who was there or else your character must have been there. Another form of power-playing is when you control what happens to someone else's character. Lets say person A is throwing a rock at person B. The person playing person A can decide where he/she is aiming to hit person B, but they can't decide whether it hits person B, only the person playing person B can decide what happens. Don't be a Mary-sue and dodge every attack though. Have any questions, PM an admin.
11. At best, posts must be at least two paragraphs. At worst, posts must be.. well, anything but one to four lines. Any posts that are incredibly short or are one-liners will be deleted, after one warning. If you continue to create one-liner posts, your warning level will be increased and if you continue, you might end up being banned from this RPG, maybe for a few days, weeks, a year, two years or maybe forever. It is hard to respond to little posts.
