Rules and Regulations

We ask, and assume, that these rules are read prior to you joining the site. If you break a rule, you will be contacted and warned. If you continue to break the site rules, we will be forced to look into a ban.




RPG Requirements:

- RPG posts should be written in the past tense and in the third person. For example: 'Frankie waked down the corridor, a spring in her step. As she passed Draculaura, she gave the girl a wave. "Hello!" She greeted cheerfully.'

- Keep OOC in the rpg threads to a minimum. Should you need to contact the player, use the PM system. If you need to make a note that everyone needs to see (e.g. timeline marker, or stating if a thread is open or closed), please use either double brackets ((eg.)) or squared brackets [eg.]

- Please use proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation to the best of your ability. We shouldn’t have to keep re-reading a post to understand what a person is saying. Absolutely no chat-speak, it makes us die a little inside.

- Try and write a paragraph or more. Describing your character’s surroundings, thoughts, emotions and such can really help lengthen a post. We're perfectly aware that sometimes one-liners are necessary for fast-moving conversations or fights, but we always love having more to read!

- Be sensible about your character's limits and actions. Godmoding is not allowed. Do not assume things about another character's beliefs or actions without them writing it. Also, keep in mind that if you have a subplot which may effect the boardwide plot, you must have admin permission.

- Try and post at least once a week, whether canon or original. We understand people have lives, so if you’re going to be on hiatus please PM a staff member, or make a post in the hiatus thread located in the OOC area. Be aware that taking on a popular canon then failing to play him/her enough is just bad form.

General Conduct:

- If you don't post for a month, we will email the account you registered with to see how you are. If you don't respond within a few weeks, we will assume you have moved on - this is especially important for canons.

- While in-character spats add fun and drama, it's no fun at all when players fall out. We expect everyone to be respectful and kind to one another in the OOC areas and refrain from any aggressive cursing to other members. If you happen to have a problem with a player, please PM a staff member (Frankie, Draculaura or Clawdeen), and they will do what they can to ease the issue privately.

Other:

- Avatars are to be no larger than 100x100, and signatures no larger than 375 x 150. This is because larger sizes can take quite a long time to load on ye olde dial-up, and wide sets can stretch and distort the page for those on a smaller resolution.
