[/b]FIRST THINGS FIRST
Hurray! Rules are awesome! Most of these are very general rules, and to be honest, you could probably survive on the site without reading the rules. Seriously, if you've read the rules on any other site, you can skip this. You just won't read all of the awesome that is AdminFace's writing.
GENERAL RULES
Our sweat and blood went into this cake, and you will not leave here until you have consumed THE ENTIRE CONFECTION!
Respect the staff, respect each other, and if you have a vendetta, handle it somewhere else, yo. A note: if you're upset because someone doesn't like your character, I call upon you to remember every book, story, and character you've hated over the years. If you say you haven't hated any, you are a big fat liar and I don't love you anymore.
MINE? MINE! MINE! MINE!
Give credit where credit is due. 'Nuff said.
RULE OF THREE
Have some common sense- don't post in areas you shouldn't, don't be an annoying ho, etc. etc.
POSTING
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FIT THAT IN MY MOUTH?!
I suppose we're a moderate-to-advanced RP site, so I want posts to be lovely. I mean, I'm not very particular on this myself, but shoot for at least three hunnit per post. That's really not that bad. There are sites with 1000+ word counts. Me? I don't enjoy writing essays. Low pressure, bro. As far as frequency, post like once a week, or we'll get all up in your email and you don't want that, do you? Also, the mirror rule mostly applies. We're not going to maim you if an entire thread has about a two-fifty word count
MAKE IT PRETTY
I love thread templates. Everything looks so pretty and fantastical. At least try to include something in the bottom with word count, notes, outfit and tags, mmk? It makes me all happy and then life just gets that much better.
PORN!? WHERE!?
Now, don't get me wrong, I've RPed some seeeeexy stuff before. HOWEVER the proboards TOS is all "NAW MAN, NAW." and if we let you do that kind of stuff, that means this site goes POOF and I get sad. So, if you want to smexx, fade to black. If you're gonna be snorting the coke, be vague about it. If you're going to be dropping an f-bomb every fucking other fucking word,
CHARACTERS
A NECESSARY PAIN
Yeah, it can be annoying, BUT you must make a separate account for each character. I've found that it's really not that bad when you have a login box on the side of the board, anyways. Aaaand as far as character limits, there aren't any at the moment. If it becomes a problem, mostly likely we'll address it on a case-by-case basis. Chances are we'll let you have it. |D I once had twenty-something characters, so my sympathies are easy to win.
J-POP AMERICA FUN TIME NOW!!!
This is a big thing for me- make your character with these magical things called flaws. Don't you think it's more fun to come up with a seemingly boring character and then build on them? Development, maaaaan. It's mad rad awesome. Anyways, if I
I'M DEATH, NOT TAXES. I ONLY COME ONCE.
Hey, you want to kill off your character? Knock 'em up? Have a long-lost twin? That's fine with me. However, I would love if you would let a staff member know so we can deal with it and all that jazz. Plus you got to do it in a totally epic way. I mean, what else is the point to it?
GRAPHICS
WHAT A PRETTY FACE
Please, for the love of god, use real people as face claims. And please, for the LOVE OF GOD, make them someone of at least D-list fame. Models are fine. Disney stars are fine. Myspace celebrities? No. NO.
SO PRETTY TO LOOK AT
Graphics make life so much better!! Have your icons 150x200, aaaand I regret to inform you we don't approve of signatures.
CREDIT
Aw, yeah, sapphire here put her heart and soul into this, man. She spent a whole thirty minutes typing this up JUST FOR YOU. She had to put in THOUGHT. HEART. SOUL. All of this means? You want it, credit her.[/blockquote]
