THE RULES
THEY ARE ALL PRETTY BASIC! o1. Respect.
Simple as that. If anyone feels offended by you, then you've broken this rule unless the person offended is overly sensative. Haha.
o2. Don't steal.
Once agian, easy. Don't steal our stuff, our codes, our graphics, our content and plot and all that, yadayadayada. I'm sure you have your own creative ideas, no need to take ours. This includes naming your character the same as a book. You cannot name your character James Potter or Alice Cullen. Absolutly not. You could use the name James or Alice or Cullen, even, but no direct names from books, movies, TV shows, comics..
o3. Don't stretch our page.
Seriously! This is the one thing I hate most. In adverts, in signatures, and in roleplays, even. Blockquote, blockquote, blockquote. You don't need to do it three times. Heck, you don't even need to do it two times! Any images that stretch the page will be turned into a link, and blockquotes will be removed with a warning, unless you are a guest. <.<
o4. Your Character.
OK, i did out a whole big arse paragraph, but I decided to just say this. Sparse them out. Make different characters. Say you make a sceneter, make your next character a jock or a prep. Just so all your characters are only friends with each other, you know? You can have a max of 6 characters, and a max of 3 females. They tend to overload a board, don't they? You can create 6 males if you want as long as they are all active. So if you create a female character, your next character has to be male. I'm pretty sure that is not too demanding.
o5. Reaadd.
Please actually read the threads that are important. Say the application form. Its not really long at all, nothing requires more than a sentance, so because of that, people tend to overlook them, take the app, fill it out, and leave. I mean, reaad. I try not to put just junk, you know.
o6. Be active.
Many many many people do this. Because it takes less than five minutes to fill the form, they fill it, leave, and never come back. They're hogging up a portrayal that someone who is actually active might want. If you don't come back in two days, your account is deleted. This is if you just signed up and did nothing else after being accepted. We don't want dead accounts lying around.
o7. Be literate.
Write in third person, please. Don't talk lyk d1s. Don't capitalize every single word Like This, Because It Gets A Little Hard To Read, You Know? Well, it does when its a whole paragraph. Use spell check, and be at least 250 words. There is no need to write too much, you know? But long RPs are great if you don't come up with a writers block after 2 posts.
o8. Display Names.
They must have your first and last name in it. You can add symbols and stuff if you want, but have spaces. Don't stretch the page withalongdisplaynamelikethis cause it won't break, it would stretch. Keep it all in lower cases, so john smith instead of John Smith. We won't accept you until your display name is correct, and not just john or cutie35.
o9. No Spamming.
This means if you create one roleplay, don't create another with the same content. Also means a bunch of pointless threads all over the place advertising through posts and PMs.
