the rules
its simple, this is these are the main rules for the site. we expect all members and admin to follow the rules for the site. i know that it can be a big pain in the butt to read them, but please we will try to make it as blunt and straight forward as possible. if you have any questions / concerns about the rules pm lauren.
REGISTRATION - -
when registering please use some sort of name that you plan on remembering. we suggest the first name of your character or your name and a number. make sure that once you have joined you change your display name to the proper heading your characters first middle and last name in all caps, it makes it easier for the admin if it is that simple. please do not post an application until your name is proper, that admin's will ignore it. when filling out an application please do it right and fully. the more the better, but please dont go crazy, the admins dont have all day to read applications. give the admin at least 24 hours to get to the application. if it is not responded to by then feel free to pm one or all of us to let us know. all characters must be active before making another, and no that doesnt mean posting in 934872 im threads, you must have at least one ongoing thread with another member.
ACTIVITY - -
once your application has been accepted it is required that all claims be made and members start roleplaying. activity is crucial to make a site succeed so please post. the admin's do check how active their members are and that does not mean signing in then signing out. we require that at least two posts be made a week by a member to be considered active. if a member is not active they are placed in the unactive group. if they are still unactive for a week they are deleted along with their posts. its only fair, we cannot have someone hogging up a play by. its simple, stay active and stay a member. we dont have a word count here but that doesn't mean you can make one sentence posts, please try to match what your role playing with.
RATING - -
the rating of this site is pg13 and up. please do not join if you are under the age of 13, we dont want anyone who deost know what they are talking about to join. if you disagree with the way things are done, dont join. if posting a mature thread please post m, but we suggest fading to black. we do not want the site to get iced due to lack of following the proboards rules. with that said, we all know the proboards rules of conduct so please follow them. *sidenote* the chatbox is rated pg 13 and up also, there are no restrictions on the cbox so get as steamy as you'd like. if your character is planning on getting pregnant / dying please let the admin know. we have the right to approve and deny any type of major plot like that. if your characters are getting married, or having more children please let us know! when pregnant, a character cannot just fast forward they must stay pregnant for the full nine months.
FACE CLAIMS - -
we do not accept any type of estar such as lauren cyrus and freida rose. sorry, its just not going to work. we will accept models such as victoria's secret models, but no models that no one really knows about, it just confuses and makes it harder to make graphics. as for graphics, please do not stretch the boards. your signature can consist of images of your choice but nothing innapropriate. as for board images, do not stretch them, the image will be removed. be sure that if your play by is a twin to let the admins know so we can notify it on the claim board! oh and by the way, the face claim is first come first serve no reservations, except for wanted ads, sorry.
RESPECT - -
we have a zero-tolerance policy. if you do not respect the admin and the members of this site you are gone. we do not tolerate any type of bullying, it is as plain and simple as that. please respect the rules of the site, it takes alot of time for us to actually sit down and to type all these things up, and im sure there are plenty of things we forgot, but please do not ignore them its just rude. any type of graphic that needs to be credited, please please please credit it! if we find anyone stealing it will result in a ban from the site and a character deletion. disrepect and theft are not tolerate here at this site so dont do it. cbox also falls under respect. do not bash the site, the members or the admin. we have the right to take away the cbox as well as the ic cbox, so just dont ruin it for the whole site.
THANKS - -
