Rules, My Darklings! « Thread Started on May 2, 2008, 9:13pm »
Ah, here we are again, yet another awesome site with rules. Don't we love 'em? 'Course we do.
BIOGRAPHIES
& Everything must be a paragraph at minimum. Feel free to write more, but that's 5 sentances.
& Do not actually post the image to your character. Use a link for god sake.
& I do not want foreign names emblazoned all over the place. The English language has plenty of "normal" names for you to choose from.
& No Sob Stories. Please, I know they might make writing a history easier, but they really do get annoying. Most of us have normal, boring lives. Not to say that people don't have tragedy happen in their lives, but not everyone has that happen.
And no, the death of a goldfish does not count as a tragedy.
&No Mary Sues. This means a person is completely and utterly PERFECT. They have hot bodies, straight, perfect teeth, an awesome voice, cool hair, sweet personality, and so on. We will not tolerate this.
& No hoards of Goth/Emo/Punk people. The odd one here and there is nice, and I know they're hot and the "in thing", but not EVERYBODY is an Emothunk, or Emo-Goth-Punk. Just because your character is part wolf does not mean they are trying to destroy the government [anarchy aka punk], cutting themselves because it's sooo horrible [emo], or wearing all black to express their hate of the world [goth]. Originality is encouraged... and these people are not original.
& No Schizo's or challenged people. I don't want people running around muttering to themself on a daily basis or flipping out on the streets of NY just because a lady with a stroller walked by and the baby said "Goo-goo-ga-ga". It's also degrading to people who actually have these things, so let's refrain from it.
& Here, we have a face claim. If you want your character to have a certain person's appearance, PM IT TO THE ADMIN. Not Taylor or myself, but Dustin please. He manages all of that stuff. You may also put it on your bio, but still... PM it to Dustin. Please.
OUT OF CHARACTER
& No fighting with people out of character. If you have a problem, please contact one of the admins.
& No Sexist/Racial comments. You may say things like "god" and "jesus", but if someone says stop doing that, then stop.
& No Sexual pictures, please. Ew.
& If you have an issue, PM the admins. That's just common sense.
& No Spamming! This means posting pointless messages like, everywhere. No more than three posts in a row in the Cbox, please. Also, please do not advertise your site and other website in the C-box or on the boards, please and thank you. Only in the advertising board. Thank you, muchly appreciated.
& Please use correct grammar and spelling. It's okay to slip up once and a while, but I don't want your post to be like this:
"Sokmey rna into the ferost, qivering in feer."
Try spell check.
"Smokey ran into the forest, quivering in fear."
IN CHARACTER
& No Powerplaying, Godmoding, etc. This is where you control another person's character. THIS IS A NO NO, PEOPLE!
& Minimum FIVE SENTANCES per post. That is in no way hard, guys.
& Please post in third person, please and thank you. I.e. "He ran to the barn, stopping and staring in horror."
Like that, see? Not hard. No, "I ran to the barn. I stopped and stared in horror,". It's hard.
SIGNATURES
Well, pretty much anything goes, as long as it doesn't stretch the boards. This means lengthwise and widthwise. Please and thank you, loves.
And that's it! There may be updates here and there, so be sure to check in often!
Admin: And feel free to swear. No F-bombs, and excessive swearing, but otherwise I don't care. Just don't go calling people bad names and using sexual body parts. That I won't allow, because it's gross.
