I want this site to be fun for all , so fighting/ rude behavior or harassment of other players will not tolerated in the least! I'm very laid back and most of the site rules are proboards rules, but there are a few things I wanted to list that have caused trouble in the past, just to make things easier for everyone. All I ask is for you guys to please be considerate towards one another and think before you speak, if it's not nice then you probably shouldn't say it. Thanks! <3
Grammar-- Since this is a RP forum, I would appreciate it if you tried to keep up with the linguistics of the language. Therefore, try to make what you post understandable, no slang. Abbreviations, such as "L.O.L.", "L.M.A.O.", should be left in the c-box.
Posting: When role playing, try to write out full and developed sentences. Your posts don't have to be ridiculously long, as I know not everyone can do that. There is no set post length requirement, but all I ask is that you at the very least /try/ to make your posts two paragraphs, so people have something to work with. More is always welcome but not required. So don't feel pressured to write an essay if you're just starting out. I just really want to steer away from one or two word/sentence replies, is all. =]
Language For the drama of it all, and because we all know , I have taken off the block on curse words. I do ask, however, that you keep the cussing to a minimum and only use it when it fits with your storyline, there is no crude or tasteless language allowed, otherwise I will be forced to restrict such language once more.
Canon Characters: Try to keep your characters 'in character ' as much as possible. While I know the whole point of role play is to come up with your own scenarios for your character and it's fun to mess around with your character and have them say or do things they normally wouldn't, I just don't want to see Hercules being the father of 20 kids or Ares frolicking with butterflies in a patch of flowers, as funny as that may be. You can feel free to post about that in the c-box. lol That's why it's there. xD I trust you guys to know the characters you are role playing well.
I'm perfectly alright with characters having relationships with the canons, but I'd like it to be kept as in character as possible. That's all.
Relationships:Which leads me to my next point, It's common in role-play for some couples to desire a lovechild. Don't get me wrong; I see nothing wrong with your character having children, I just don't want to see a massive baby boom.
* And also, remember that role playing content of the adult nature is not allowed as per proboards site rules. So try to keep things that everyone can read PG-13.
Bullying-- Harassment and Fighting with other role-players is strictly prohibited. You will be given one warning in such an offense, and should you ignore it and continue, you will have your IP banned and your username deleted.
--- Comments to other role-players based on sexual, racial, or any other kind of prejudice will not be tolerated. You will be given one warning.
God Modding: No character is all powerful. Even Xena has been tossed around a few times. If you take a hit, react accordingly. This especially goes for battles, you do not have the right to assume and write out how a character will react or respond without the players permission.
-- Also, as this goes hand in hand, you can not kill another person's character in a post without that player's consent, it won't count. Always make sure to check with your partner first before you automatically jump into it. This is just to avoid conflict.
Signatures: Keep them no bigger than 500 x 200 ish, only because outrageously large siggy's distort the pages in posts and that can slow down the site.. I don't mind if you sig is off by a few numbers, I'm pretty lenient about sigs, just don't make them too big.
Advertisements/ Affiliates: Please keep all advertisements and affiliate requests to that specific board, it is guest friendly for that reason.
Your Character: To avoid confusion make sure you only have one character profile per account, for example (My Xena character account is only for Xena , If I were to take up Eve as another character, I would not be allowed to roleplay as Eve on Xena's account.) It just makes things terribly confusing for everyone when there are two characters on one account and it's easier to keep the accounts separate.
As always, be courteous to one another and if you have any questions or are unsure about anything, don't be afraid to ask. Have Fun!
