Forum Rules

[oo1] Respect all members and staff. Don't say anything you wouldn't want said to you. If you are having a conflict with another member, either work it out through PM's or take it to the staff.

[oo2] Don't spam or flame anyone. Spamming is posting a pointless, stupid message several times, and flaming is harassing or annoying someone with a rude message.

[oo3] This is an intermediate-advanced site. Our minimum word count per post is 200 words- not that much. However, we focus more on the quality of posts than the length. If you can write twenty pages for a post, that's wonderful. If you can capture the mood and scene perfectly with 201 words, wonderful.

[oo4] A paragraph is seven to nine sentences. We do expect decent size paragraphs. To prove you read the rules, put the word "cherry" as your secret word.

[oo5] Never use chatspeak. - Don't use it IC or OOC.

[oo6] Stay active, please. We understand if you can't be on every day, but at least try to keep up on all your threads.

[oo7] You may have as many characters as you like, as long as they are all active.

[oo8] One character per account, even if they are twins.

[oo9] Your display name must be your character's main name.

[o1o] Power playing is not allowed. Taking control over someone else's character, actions, etc. is not allowed. Neither is auto-hitting, which means saying you did hit the other person's character or saying you caused an injury. Godmoding isn't allowed either, meaning dodging every attack or winning every fight.

[o12] If you do get in trouble, don't say you didn't know. That would only show that you didn't read the rules, which would get you in even more trouble.

[o13] Don't swear at members. You can swear OOC. Your characters can say anything they want IC. Just don't use offensive words directly to another members OOC.

[o14] If your characters are enemies, it does not mean you are.

[o15] No page stretching. Do not post an image that is over 525x300 pixels. If your image is larger, you can put a link.

[o16] No content over an R rating. If your thread does get to be rated R, please put [R] in the title.

[o17] Also, please tag your threads. If you don't have a specific person you want to RP with, then just put [Open].

[o18] Profiles, posts, everything in character must be written in third person, past tense.

[o19] You should also have an avatar and signature, or at least just an avatar.

[o2o] To prove you actually read all of the rules, put the word "watermelon" as your secret word, forget the other word.
