[/li][li]Role Play / Posting Rules

• POSTING STYLE:
  
  • All posts must be in 3rd Person [ this is saying 'he, she, they, instead of I, me, my]
    
    
  • All posts must be a minimum of two paragraphs long. Each paragraph should be at least five sentences. It is understandable that you can not always meet this criteria, however, one liners are prohibited.
    
    
  • Be as descriptive as you can: this includes delving into the depth of your character and describing their thoughts, feelings, current emotions, etc. This may help with your posting length if you are struggling to meet the necessary criteria.
    
    
  • You are permitted to make your posts unique by making them a different color from white, or changing the font. You must however make sure is legible for the benefit of those you are role playing with.
    
    
  • You must make note of who your thread is intended for by tagging them at the end of your post. If it is open to anyone, then you must add a note of that so that other members are aware.
  
  
  
• APPLICATION RULES:
  
  • You must have admin approval for your character biographies, and must wait until you are approved before you start role playing.
    
    
  • If you are including any names of other characters in your bio, unless it is fairly obvious that they are connected with the character, you must have the approval of the other member. For example: Sara Tancredi would not need Governor Frank Tancredi's permission to put his name in her bio.
  
  
  
• CHARACTER RULES:
  
  
  • You must post as each of your characters AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. This is to make sure that your threads are active and others are not waiting on you to post. You must post in the away board if you are not able to meet this minimum. If you do not post once a week, then you will be relieved of your character.
    
    
  • There is no limit to the number of characters you can have, but keep in mind, that you must be active as all of them.
    
    
  • God Modding is not at all permitted. This includes killing other characters without their permission, or controlling them in any way.
    
    
  • Members are expected to only role play in the designated areas and all OC [Out of Character] comments and posts are to be put in other boards.
    
    
  • You are permitted to be in more than one thread at the same time, as the same character.
    
    
  • You are not permitted to have any animated images [including anime] representing the character you are role playing. Their appearance must be that of a real person.

Chat Box Rules

[/font]

The chat box is a great place to talk and meet other members on the site. However, there are a few things that one must keep in mind when posting a message or question in the chat box. All messages are publicly displayed and so for that reason, we ask you to read the following rules so that we can all demonstrate proper chat box etiquette

• Do not be disrespectful. There is a difference between joking and being offensive. Do not get out of hand with the jokes because the other member may take it more personally than you intended. Show respect to all other members. Most people on the site do have a good sense of humor but do not get carried away.
  
  
• Do not post messages of complaints. As previously stated all messages are publicly displayed for guests and members to read and post. We would appreciate if members do not post about how bored they are if no one else is online. We do not want any guests [potential members] to think that no one posts or that this site is dead. As well, do not complain about any other members in chat box. They may feel embarrassed if everyone reads complaints against them, so we ask that if you have an issue, please handle it in a professional manner. This would be, sending a Personal Message to the staff so that the issue can be dealt with accordingly instead of getting everyone unnecessarily involved.
  
  
• Do not spam. Spamming entails many things. Do not post unnecessary multiple messages consecutively. For instance, do not say ‘Hi’ five times in a row; if a member or guests is online, they will see the message and reply at their own pace. Do not pressure another member to post by telling them numerous times. It is fine to plan threads, and to let the other know that you have posted but do not make them feel like they have to reply right that second. Spamming in any way makes the chat look messy and disorganized so we ask that you do not do this.
  
  
• No advertising. You are not permitted to post a link to your own website in the chat box. There is an area on the board which is Guest Friendly, called LINKS and that is where you are allowed to post an ad for your site. Please remember that you must link back. As well, refrain from posting links such as ones for photobucket. There is also a fanart section on the board for members, so feel free to share all of your artwork there.

These rules are expected to be followed by both members and guests. If any of the rules are violated, then the member or guest will be potentially banned from the chat box. Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions, feel free to contact any of the admins or mods.

Chat away!
