Rules in Detail
« Thread Started on Nov 27, 2007, 6:40am »

You must be at least 13 to be a member on this forum. This is a rule enforced by proboards, and anyone who says they are under this age, even is a joke, is going to find themselves out of this forum. The Dreaded S**** Word if this sounds harsh, but we don't intend to break the TOS under any conditions.

You must have a proper name for your charachter. What is a name? A name is like your name. A real name is like Destiny Rahl, Carolina Warlin, Za'Hana Destriosi or even just Mary. You must change your name immediately upon coming to this forum [to do this, go to your profile and change your Display NameWe will definately not accept anything like harrypotter898, dracosbabe, iloveharrypotter or even carolinewarlin]. This rule applies to everything, from Job Applications to students .You also cannot have any types of symbols within your name or anything else besides your proper name. This includes but is not limited to the heart symbol, < or >, *, ~, ( or ), %, #, @, $, © etc.

Please...get a character biography before posting anywhere!Getting sorted is the first and most important step. It also insures that you have read the rules...so go do it!
No spam. End of story.No short pointless annoying messages (You must post at least a paragraph in the roleplay boards) , and no advertising anywhere but the designated board. NO PM ADVERTISING!

No death, drugs, suicide, killings, weapons, explicit sexual content, etc.Such things are not allowed under any circumstances. Please remember that there are 13 year olds on the site. All content is to be kept PG-13, no exceptions.

No outrageous powers. Please...no superhero like powers [shooting laser beams from eyes, throwing fire], it isn't realistic at all. And though we do allow certain powers like disappearing and re-appearing (for haunts) and certain other powers, proper permission must be asked from the admins for this. (PM both admins) Strive for realism, and believe me, you'll be a trendsetter.
No double characters. We will not allow double characters on one single account. For example, you must create a seperate account for Mary-kate and Ashley. They can't be together under any costs. You are allowed to have en number of spare accounts, though.

Your banner can not be larger then 650 pixels wide and 550 pixels tall. Your banner can not be bigger then 650 pixels in width. The length/height can be no longer than 550 pixels (to see how big a 650 x 550 signature is, click here). There have been complaints on some of the other sites I am on that images are too large and that they stretch out the site to where it is hard to read. If your image size is too large then we will remove the image and you can only replace it if you resize your banner or image to the proper size. If you need assistance resizing an image, please ask someone in the graphics board.

No powerplaying. Reading vs. IC knowing. If you have read a certain incident on site, it DOES NOT mean your character knows about it. To be able to say that you saw person A cheat on person B, or whatever incident, you must have been in that thread WHILE it happened, not after and stating that you were "there the whole time". This is considered a form of power play in that you have your character knowing information even though they weren't there to actually get it. Just like in real life, you can't just magically know about something unless you've seen it or someone told you about it. Also you cannot control another persons actions which is considered power playing or god molding. You can only control your actions, for instance if you are in a duel you cannot say whether the spell hits someone or how it affects them, it is up to the other person to decide what happens to their character.

No OOC in IC areas. There should be no OOC in the role playing boards or threads, and if so it should be kept to a minimum. There are places onsite made just for OOC and should be kept there or sent through a PM. An exception may be if you are RPing with someone and you suddenly have to leave you can add that under your post or either say you will be back later, or if someone needs help or you see someone doing something wrong then an OOC warning or suggestion should be ok. So basically if you are not in that thread then you shouldn't just appear and make some OOC comment to someone or about the thread subject just to be doing it. If you want to join the thread then it should be in an IC form only since OOC comments from others usually has nothing to do with the thread or subject plus it annoys the ones posting and disrupts the RPing. In the event that you feel you need to make an OOC comment then it should be above/below your post or in a separate post and be in between (( )) or [[ ]] or {{ }} so it can be separated and not confused with the RPing.

You agreed to the terms of ProBoards® and SOS by registering and/or sorting, so saying you have not read either and all agreements set forth to get out of punishment is no excuse.

By registering at this forum you are agreeing that you have read these agreements and will abide and agree to the terms set forth here.
