►Flaming - Vulgar, tasteless harassment of a fellow member of this board is PROHIBITED. Basically, if we catch you being a total jerk, you're gone. This includes prejudices, biases, or using personal views against one another.
►Inactivity - Any member who is constantly inactive, such as only appearing maybe once a month on this board, is going to be deleted. You have a time-limit of two weeks absence before you’re deleted. If you are away, and have posted something about your absence, this is fine. But disappearing for three weeks is not.
►Grammar - This is a role-playing forum for advanced writers. A few typos are accepted, but proper word-usage and dialogue is required. This means, you should also have decent knowledge of punctuation. Posts should be a minimum of 350 words, but you should be able to clear 500 words easily. Trust me, 350 words seems so much until you actually type it.
►Spamming - Spamming or Double-Posting, basically posting useless things such as only a smiley, or discussing something off topic or OOC. Please be thread-conscious.
►Discrimination - Condescending behavior is highly looked down upon in this forum (Whoa, major contradiction) unless you are in character and have direct permission (or it’s your character’s personality trait) from the other member.
►Profanity - Profanity, cussing, swearing, who gives a f**k?
►Accounts - You’re permitted to have as many accounts as you wish, as long as you can manage them. This puts Rule 2 into perspective, since even if you have five-hundred characters, you’re still expected to be active with all of them. But remember, one character per account. If you want more characters, make more accounts.
►God-Mode/Power-Playing - This means, essentially, making a character invincible (I.E Unable to be defeated, is a patient taking out a warden) or controlling other’s characters. You can control ONLY your characters, no one else’s, unless you have their direct permission.
►Icons - Each character is expected to have some sort of icon and celebrity face claim, whether it be from photo bucket, google, yahoo, whatever. It must be 100x100 and not an anime or cartoon.
►Mature Content - Come on, folks, let’s face it. This is essentially rated R, meaning NOT M or X. If you want to start a thread with a high-maturity level, put 'XXX' in the thread title, please.
►No links leading to inappropriate content - None of us want, let alone need to see any of that.
►Cannons: Cannons have a higher responsibility level than the OC, and therefore have certain requirements. They must have advanced grammar, must be especially active (three or four times a week) and be able to accomplish posts of 500 words and up. A limit of one cannon character unless you private message an admin.
►CBOX - You MUST, must, must, MUST have an icon in the cbox. How do you do this? Simply insert the URL of the icon you want (100x100 works fine, it's resized) into the box next to "name" on the cbox. It just looks neater.
