Rules « Thread Started on Nov 29, 2008, 3:50pm »
I don't want to rain on your parade, but we have to lay down some ground rules to keep the site from slipping into utter chaos. They're not that bad, I promise and with a little bit of cooperation you won't even notice that the rules are there!
1. Graphic roleplay is not allowed. You have to understand that I have to adhere to the ProBoards TOS and I want everyone to be comfortable on this forum.
2. I understand that "cussing" is accepted and it adds reality to the game and enforces the plot, but don't over do it! Use your own judgement on this and if you do happen to go a little bit overboard then one of the admins will give you a gently ask you to change your wording. However try not to let it become a repeated offense... AND ABSOLUTELY NO RACIAL OR SEXUAL SLURS! Period. To do so WILL result in immediate suspension from the forum.
3. No god-moding! This is so annoying and it ruins the game for everybody else.
4. Be curtious to other members... this means no OOC arguing or spamming the RP boards... That gets really annoying and you'll probably evoke the wrath of the Admins.
5. No killing anyone without the authors and an Admin's written permission.
6. No disrespecting the staff.
7. Keep what goes on In Character in character... does that make sense...?
8. No Animagi or Metamorphmagi unless Admin gives you permission. (It's not that hard to get permission and don't be afraid to ask us... However not every character can be an animagi or metamorphmagi, so we do have a limit as to how many there can be.)
9. No werewolves unless an Admin gives you permission. And be prepared to jump through a couple hoops to get permission.
10. No vampires. Period.
11. No Mary Sues or Gary Stus. Your character should have faults as well as good points.
12. No powerplaying. It is really annoying when some people's characters always dodge a spell, yet manage to hit you every time.
13. Romance and Violence is allowed. But if your thread gets too wild it'll have to be removed.
14. Do not use chat talk or start a conversation in an ongoing thread. Use the ooc board for that! Otherwise it's annoying and ruins the thread.
15. On the Classroom Boards only the teachers may start or end a class.
These rules were written by me, Willa (Head Admin). If you have any comments or issues with them, feel free to write me a message, and we can talk it out. I'm open to all suggestions!
