`RULES,

[`juliette desrosiers*]

GENERAL RULES.

• be nice, okay? it's not nice for people to come onto a site where all everyone does it argue with each other. if you have a problem with someone, don't confront them about it and cause an arguement; come directly to one of the admins because we don't bite and we'll probably be able to sort out the problem.
  
• no racist comments, please. racism isn't very nice and very tasteless. if we find that anyone has been racist they will have to suffer consequences.
  
• if you don't agree on something with another member don't fight it out, inform an admin and they'll sort it out.
  
• no spamming. spamming is forbidden. if you spam we will 'spam' you back. (f.a.q: 'spam' is english slang for smacking your forehead). this rule also applies to advertising in the cbox - that's what the advertising board is for.
  
• if an admin tells you not to do something that is unacceptable, or you have been warned for something or another that is against the rules then you can expect to be banned from the site. if the problem persists then you can say goodbye to the site altogether.
  
• your display name must be the first and last name of you characters name and not something like 'twilightfn012', if you characters name is 'adam romano' then your display name must be 'adam romano'. symbols are allowed but don't go overboard with them, please.

CHARACTER RULES.

• okay, to start off with the most common rule about characters is that if you insist on making more than one character, each one must be on seperate accounts otherwise there will be all round confusion between, not only the admins, but yourself and the other members. so, please, please, please, create a new account if you would like more than one character. on that note, you're allowed a maximum of six characters each. as long as you can keep them all active.
  
• secondly, i've been around a lot of different rpg sites and have found that most people prefer to play girls rather than guys, while this is all very well we would like a rounded ratio of boys to girls and it would be preferable if there wasn't a whole majority of girls. remember, boys are people too. the ratio would be one boy to every two girls.
  
• since this is a city rpg site we've made, we, the admins, won't -not- expect your characters to have sex with each other. if your character and another characters does decide to have sex, please inform an admin and we will decide the female's fate about whether or not she would become pregnant or not.

APPLICATION RULES.

• upon registering to the site you will have a maximum of one week to complete an application before you are deleted. if you posted an imcompleted application on the first day of you joining then not only will you be deleted, but your application will be deleted aswell, unless you have a valid reason for not completing it within the week.
  
• all unfinished and finished applications must be posted in the 'pending applications' board where the admins will look over it and either decline or accept it. if it's not finished say so in the title with either: nd, wip or nf.
  
• if there's something wrong with your application then an admin will say so and it will stay in the 'pending applications' board until you have rectified the mistakes. once you've done that let an admin know.
  
• details. there's set lengths for certain parts of the application like history and personality. stick to them with as much detail as possible. obviously, if you can write more then please do, detail is awesome.

ROLEPLAYING RULES.

• the main rule of roleplaying? absolutely no GODMODDING/POWERPLAY. it is forbidden in all parts of rp'ing and i'm sure that you already know that godmodding/powerplay is not acceptable; anywhere. unless you have special permission from the person that you are godmodding and the admins have been notified of this. otherwise, it is completely unacceptable.
  
• as you may know already, there is a minimum posting requirement. so i'd like to ask that you keep all your ic posts at the minimum of 150 words. and just so you know, this goes for all threads except for the obvious ones such as; msn threads and phone conversations.
  
• there will be absolutely no 'l33t' speak anywhere at all within this board, unless you're having an instant messanger thread with another character. if any of the admins see speak 'lyk dis' or 'lik siz' anywhere on the board that is not the instant messanger board then it will be removed because normal people don't walk around going 'lolz' or 'roflcopter' to people who make them laugh. it's completely unnecessary.
  
• spelling and grammar is important but i know that there are some people out there with (mild) dyslexia and try their very hardest with their spelling and such, but please be aware that misspelling consistently is rather annoying to the person that you're roleplaying with. so please, use the spell check - that's what it's there for.
  
• tagged threads? some people put the word 'tagged' into the title of their thread. this means that the thread is closed for one person in particular (or two, depending on the nature of the thread), so unless your name is the one at the bottom of the thread i'd leave it alone just so that there's no trouble caused between members. if you're not one of these that put 'tagged' in their thread, or even 'closed' please make sure that you do so and add the other character(s)'s name at the bottom of the thread so that they know.
  
• just try your best.

CUSSING & SEXUAL CONTENT RULES.

• this rpg is rated 14+ and so mature threads of a sexual nature will be allowed, however they will only be allowed if you say that they are rated in the title. it's simple to put an [R] or an [M] in the title of the thread. some members might feel uncomfortable with writing sexual threads or reading them, so the [R] and/or the [M] is seen as a forewarning for those wishing to read random threads.
  
• cussing.cussing.cussing. it will be allowed, but don't go overboard with it. if we see threads that are full of cuss words, then it will be deleted and you will be notified.

GRAPHIC RULES.

• everyone must have an avatar and a signature in their profile so that others can see what their characters look like. it must not stretch the board and it musn't be pornographic. anything that is either of the afore mentioned will be removed without warning.
  
• characters faces must be either a: celebrity, model, deviant art(ist), or a person from a band. animé characters, cartoon characters and people who are your next door neighbours will not be accepted as a pb.
  
• as long as graphics don't stretch the board, they will be accepted
  
• avatars must be 100x100
  
• uprights, banners or a row of avatars are examples of acceptable signatures.
  
• if your pb claim is mitchell davis, use a picture of mitchell davis and not a picture of alex evans. simple.

ACTIVITY RULES.

• be active!
  
• don't join this site, post an imcompleted application and then just disappear off of the face of the earth. it's not nice and not helpful.
  
• also, don't join, make an application, wait until you've been accepted and have claimed your faces then disappear because again; it's not nice, unhelpful and unfair on people who will be active.
  
• if you're gone without any note for six days in a row then your pb claim will be taken out and put up for use again. also your application will be moved to the graveyard.
  
• if you know that you're going to be unactive for however long then please let us know beforehand by posting in the abscence board. this will inform us that your pb claim doesn't get taken away and you don't get deleted in activity checks.
  
• activity checks will be done once every month. if you fail to post in two activity checks you can kiss your account goodbye. sorry but that's the way we roll.
