1. Proper grammar and spelling is a must. All posts that are not well-written will be deleted.
2. SPECIFICALLY STATE THE SETTING OF THE RP IN THE ORIGINAL POST. Yes. Which means Hosts MUST give a definitive description of the starting area of the RP.
3. Posts must have something to do with the actual RP.
4. No more than one character is to be controlled within any given post with a max of 2 main characters per thread.
5. You may not control another character without their express permission for ANY reason.
6. A main character cannot be killed unless they allow it.
7. No godding. You are NOT all powerful.
8. While flaming in character is allowed, there are certain restrictions. Flaming cannot be discriminatory towards any real-world race, religion, philosophy, gender, or sexual preference, and that they are characters attacking each other, not members insulting other members. Put another way: all flaming must be done in character.
9. Profanity is allowed, but there are restrictions to keep it artful. First off, the member that posts the thread must get permission from a moderator and include reasoning for the profanity to be allowed. Second, the member that posts the thread must indicate that there is to be profanity in the thread in the subject line. Third, the member that posts the thread must state that they wish for profanity to be allowed in that thread, and any restrictions that they wish to impose must be followed. Fourth, the F-word is not to be used under any circumstances. Finally, any profanity with a sexual meaning must be used in a general context, never in a sexual one (e. g., a character can call another character a dickhead, but cannot use the profanity to tauntingly tell an opponent to "suck dick").
10. Read all announcements and stickies before posting and check often for updates. They are there to help you become a better RPer.
11. All roleplays will be closed after 4 weeks of inactivity. This helps keep the forums more organized.
12. If a RP does not reach the general standard of the Roleplaying section, it will either be closed or the topic starter will be given things to fix about the roleplay to fix. If s/he doesn't comply within a certain amount of time, the topic will be closed.
13. All roleplays which have been locked because of failing to meet standards will be deleted within' 7 days of locking, this is to keep all the spam off this forum for good.
