The Rules
Site Etiquette
I.
R-e-s-p-e-c-t. Please don't try to find out what it means to us. It's a common curtsy that we expect all members to give as well as receive. Showing disrespect towards anyone will result in insert punishment here. If someone is disrespecting you, be sure to alert the admins. Vigilantism may get you in trouble, and we don't want that.
II.
About the cbox: No Fighting, No advertising, and please use relatively good grammar. We really hate chat-speak.
III.
The staff is here to help you. They are all experienced administrators and are capable of handling practically anything you throw at them. Be kind to them and they will do the same; ask them about things and they will do their best to help you. However, if you're a total asshat, we'll see you gone so fast your head will spin.
On Posting
IV.
Keep the post length up! One hundred and eighty words, bare minimum, please.
V.
On posts with sexual content: please do warn us in the tag. Some people don't enjoy reading erotica, some people do.
VI.
No Mary-Sue/Gary Stus. Everyone had their flaws; no being is absolutely perfect. No god-moding, either. If you don't play the character, don't control her/him.
VII.
Please tag your posts to let us know who it is you wish to post with. If it's open, tag it as such. If your character's name does not appear in the tag, please do not post there unless invited. Also, be mindful of where you're posting; if it doesn't make sense for your character to be there, don't post there.
VIII.
Watch your grammar and spelling. A few mistakes are understandable but we need to know what it is you're trying to say! Proboards has a spell check button up there, please use it. Also, it's quite alright for you to swear here. We're all adults.
IX.
Keep the personality and such that you gave your character in the application you posted, don't just start making stuff up!
X.
Please wait until your application has been accepted before you begin posing anywhere.The Password
Assemble the yellowed letters in the rules.
We want to know you've read through them.
