These are the SITE rules. Roleplay-based rules are left out of this, for everyone's enjoyment of their own roleplay.
1.) Joining
Long story, let me make it short. Please, don't join if you have no intention of staying for a while. Inactive accounts with no posts will eventually be deleted- I'll give them a month's time before I go around to clearing them out. That being said, don't join if your only intention is to advertise your own forum. That's the easiest way to get banned!
2.) Respect/Harassment/Bullying
Okay, so you really don't like how someone's acting, in the case of it not going against the rules. That's fine, I get that- some people just push our buttons down to the point where tolerating them is a chore. That doesn't mean you get the right to treat them any lower than you are, or act out against them. The same rule applies to the administrators and other high ranks. We're all human behind the screen, so give everyone the same respect you want, and you'll get it back. In the case of any bullying or harassment, please report it to a higher-up. In the case of another higher-up doing so, please report this to either Noisemaster or myself- no one else. The situation will be handled accordingly.
3.) Drama
Oh boy, where do I even start with this one.
Drama is not tolerated here. We don't need whiny babies running around playing the blame game, and the victim card isn't really acceptable. These things not only annoy others, but annoy me to no end, and while I might be a tolerant person most of the time, I do have a rather unfortunately short fuse when it comes to some cases. Accusing someone of a wrong they did not commit to start a flame war is the second-easiest way to not get yourself banned, most certainly!
in other words, ho don't do it.
4.) Listen to the administrators and moderators.
Seriously. Communication is a two-way street, and it can't really happen if you've got your ears plugged while shouting 'LA LA LA' like a tiny child. If you don't listen, you're the one at fault, not us. If a high-ranking member is telling you to go against the rules- and not in a joking manner- please report this to Noisemaster or myself IMMEDIATELY.
5.) Art Theft
Don't. Do I really need to say more? This is a crime, and could potentially get you in serious trouble! So... Don't.
6.) Cursing
Okay, lemme be clear here. I have no problems with cursing, when used in a non-offensive manner/non-harmful manner. Don't use it against anyone, and don't curse out a minor. Don't use offensive words, either. So, besides that, go all out!
7.) Sexual Content/18+
Okay. With all due respect, none of us want to see your characters getting it on like wild animals. As we all know characters are prone to developing love interests over time, yadayada, but don't go showing off your tatas and your junk. If you want to go down the dark alley, take it to PM, and only with someone you know who is NOT a minor.
If this becomes a problem, you can either;
1: Cut off the source problem, or at least minimize it.
2: Kindly take it to another site that allows that stuff full-on.
8.) Doubleposting
ho don't do it.
Really though, if you have anything to add, edit your post, don't go tacking on several replies with what you'd like to add. Doubleposting is only allowed in the Character Lists.
9.) Stopping
If you have a topic you like, or a ship you like, or curse, and someone asks you to stop, please do it. This technically should call into the Respect rule, but I figured it needed it's own little special spot.
Each user gets the limit of fifty strikes. Depending on severity of the rule and how it was broken, strikes can be from a single one to ten of the strikes.
