THE RULES
REGISTRATION
___ You can sign up with pretty much whatever username you want. just make sure you can remember it because we can't change it. This isn't invisionfree. When you've registered, please change your name to FIRST MIDDLE LAST, all uppercase, for example: BARBARA LUCY ST. JAMES. Please don't name your character after a character they've played in a movie or television show. That means no Kristen Stewart's with the name Bella, and no Ian Somerhalders who are called Damon. You can find the application in the registration board. Please make sure you post your application in the right board, otherwise the admin may not check it. Please don't start posting in character until your application has been accepted. Also, make sure your character is not a Gary Stu or Mary Sue. If you don't know what they are, you can find out here. ORGINAL CHARACTERS ONLY PLEASE!!! This is not a Twilight or True Blood based site. If you want to play Bella Swan or Sookie Stackhouse, this site might not be the best site for you.
ROLE PLAYING
___ When role playing, make sure it's literate guys! Punctuation and proper spelling is a MUST! Please don't use shorthand, because not everybody understands it. We're not demanding that you post humongous posts, but we do ask that your posts are at least two good paragraphs. It's not too hard to post that! Of course, if you can post something that's 1,000 words long, we're not going to stop you! God-modding is a no no. I REPEAT GOD-MODDING AND POWERPLAY ARE NOT ALLOWED (unless you get permission from the person rping with you) If you don't know what that is, there are lots of definitions of the term here.
CHARACTERS
___ We're not going to dictate how many characters you can or can't have, because it's not fair on people who can handle many characters. Just make sure that you keep them all active. if you want to delete one of your characters, then just let a member of staff know, and we'll do it for you. Not all characters can be a vampire or were, so we really do want a balance. If there looks like there are too many of a certain member group (or gender) then we'll have to put a ban on.
GRAPHICS
___ For graphics, we ask that you have an icon/avatar at least. Icon size is 150x200, no bigger, no smaller. If you can't find one, you can check CAUTION or you could put a request in the graphics board, which is located in the ooc area. Signatures are great too! There aren't that many rules and regulations on your signature, we just ask that it doesn't stretch the board (so no wider than 500) and that they relate to your character. (For example if your play-by is Ashley Tisdale, your signature shouldn't be of Demi Lovato.) If you're having trouble with a signature, or any graphics, check out the graphics board.
EXTRA
___ You wouldn't commit a hit and run in the real world, so don't do it here. By hit and run we mean join the site and never return after the first day. It's annoying and it's not fair on us or the members here. You need to respect all of the members here. You're characters are free to fight with each other as much as you like, but we really don't want our members fighting. If we catch it, expect a pm from the admin and a warning. Finally, JUST HAVE FUN! After all that's what this site is about isn't it?!
STAFF & MEMBERS
___
PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL OF ALL STAFF AND MEMBERS. Failure to do so will result in THREE warnings before a ban is placed. Although suggestions are welcomed constant arguing and bickering is not allowed. Talking and addressing the staff in a disrespectful way WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. Nor will harassment of other members. As a reminder this is a PG-13 site. Although some mature topics maybe covered in plots and posts; extreme graphic/sexual posts are not allowed on proboards sites. If you would not want your grandmother reading it, you probably shouldn't post it. Fading to black is allowed in posts dealing with strong sexual tension.
