RULES, RULES, RULES
SIGNING UP[/font][/color][/li][/ul]
- When you sign up, you must use your character's name exactly as it appears on the grid.
- The first thing you must do is read and sign the Terms of Service Disclaimer.
It is very necessary considering the rating of this forum and the genre of writing. Not only is it safe for the forum, but it is safe for your writing; I do not want either getting deleted.- The second thing you should do is go to the APPEARANCES board and add to the face claim database.
Using a random person from Myspace is not allowed.
Include a link, if possible, or the modelmayhem ID number.
If I see you using a banner or avatar with a face and you have not followed this rule, I will slap a warning on you and send you a PM.
RESPECT
- Show respect to the administrators, moderators, and members alike.
Insults are not tolerated whatsoever.
Don't be a drama-queen. - Derogatory comments definitely count as insults.
As for as In Character goes in long-form role play, derogatory terms are acceptable. Social In Character dialogue and Out of Character? Immediate ban.
POSTING
- If you do not use a banner, you must sign your posts manually with your In Game Name or, depending on your comfort level with everyone here, your real name.
- In the areas specifically for long-form role play, please do your best to write literately.
This rule is going to be very lax for reasons which I will not disclose due to the comfort of some players. - I will not put a minimum word count on role play posts; however, when your partner spends two hours on writing 3,000 characters, do not reply with one paragraph. It is extremely frustrating as well as disrespectful.
GRAPHICS
- Banners need be no larger than 550 pixels in width and 200 pixels in height.
- Avatars must be, at maximum, 100x100 pixels.
- No obnoxious optical illusions such as rapidly spinning 'hypnotic' images, or strobes.
Not only are they an instant migraine inducer, but sometimes they can cause seizures for people with epilepsy. - Your graphics MAY NOT promote any of the following:
-drugs
-rape
-bashing
-racism
-underage pornography
-extreme violence
If something you see offends you, please send me a PM with a link to the person's profile and I will see what I can do.
LIMITS
- You may claim no more than three faces in the face claim.
- I am setting a character sign-up limit to a maximum number of five. But if you believe you can handle more please pm [aurora] or [admin] and we will decide if you can make more.
- No word limit. See above in POSTING.
COMMON SENSE
- Do not do multiple posts in a row; we have the modify button for a reason.
- No spamming the forum.
- Advertise in the appropriate place.
Failure to follow this rule will count as spam and get you a warning. - If something you say sounds offensive, or you just are not sure, follow your gut instinct and DO NOT POST IT.
- Follow the Proboards Terms of Service.
Google is a useful tool.
RATING
- This forum is rated PG-13 for mature.
This is not an X-Rated forum for sexual role play or heavy gore; it is, however, a vampire RPG forum. Basically, I cannot tell what the future holds, so I do not know what might be written. - If you are younger than thirteen years of age, turn around.
Like I said, some weird things happen in unlife. I will not risk deletion of my board because a parent reported it to Proboards Service, nor will I be a babysitter.
Do not underestimate me. I will know if you don't follow this guideline. I have eyes.
