Rules
.:OOC:.
.:Posting:.
.:IC:.
.:Pictures:.
.:OOC:.
- Members should be mature and sensible.
- No religious or sexual topics!
- Always respect each other's feelings and opinions! That means absolutely NO racial or sexual slurs, threats, or crude comments. If it gets out of hand, there will be consequences (possibly banning).
- If you have a problem (Example: someone's insulting you or making rude remarks.) PLEASE, notify me or another Admin A.S.A.P!
- Don't publicly flirt with other members. If you both want to flirt, flirt through PMs, but don't clog the general board with your mushy conversations.
.:Posting:.
- Please don't type in CAPS. It gets annoying.
- No spamming! It clutters the boards and makes topics very difficult to read.
- Try and keep topics in their boards. That means don't strike up an OOC conversation in a role play board.
- Please, guests do not make more then 3 posts. If you're going to post a lot, why don't you just join and bring up the activity level?
- Do not post OOC topics to individual members. That's what e-mail and private messaging are for!
- PLEASE no double posting in and out of character!! It's extremely annoying to have one person controlling the direction the conversation is going. If you forgot something and want to say it, just modify the post you just made!
- Guests will not post spam! It is disrespectful and mean.
- No posting inappropriate topics, threads, pictures, imgs, music, etc. Anything that should not be viewed by children should NOT be posted here! Failure to comply with this rule will result in banning. Your avatar and sig. must be appropriate.
.:IC:.
- Absolutely NO Godmodeling/Powerplaying. It's rude and makes RPing with someone not very fun.
- No posts in OOC consisting of only "Lol", ">.>", "", etc. No one-word posts.
- When RPing, no creating god characters (anything to do with controlling anything but your own actions!)
- Keep the special powers to a minimum. Don't have a wolf that can fly without wings, shoot lasers from it's eyes, and turn it's fur into snakes. Pick something small, like having a demon side, and have them fight with what they have. Don't conjur things out of midair because that, my friends, is called Godmodeling and is specifically against the rules.
- Don't kill another person's character without their permission. Likewise, if you give someone permission to kill your character, don't bring it back to life once it's dead.
.:Pictures:.
- Do NOT use pictures from Google. Most of the time, pictures from Google are stolen from their original owner, and since Google doesn't tell you who the owner is, that is the same as you stealing it.
- I would prefer you use pictures from DeviantArt (with permission from the artist), but Flikr is acceptable as well.
- Only use stock images PLEASE.
- Credit EVERYTHING you manip. If you got permission from an artist to use their stock, when your picture is done, CREDIT THEM! If you don't know how to credit a picture, PM an Admin.
- If you don't follow these rules, and an artist finds out that someone on this site used a picture of theirs without permission, they will contact Proboards and it will be shut down. We've gone to too much trouble to get it back up and running to have it shut down because of something as trivial as a copyright.
