Alright, this place will have rules, obviously so nothing gets too out of hand...please read and apply these before and while you RP!
Rules for the RP Board
1. God-modding and God-mod characters will not be tolerated!
Remember, the most interesting characters have both talents and flaws to balance out those talents. Please, no demons from the underworld, invisible animals with super strength, indestructible characters, etc. See the Character area for stickies and more info.
2. No fighting or flaming OOC (out of character).
I understand that there will be fights and curses exchanged while roleplaying in character, however, if I catch anyone intentionally flaming another member personally, they will promptly be banned until further notice.
3. Keep all images and avatars family/work safe!
This means no posting images here that contain slanderous, racist, or graphic sexual acts. If I catch you posting or using any pictures like this, you will be warned on the first offense (50% warn level) and banned on the second for an undetermined amount of time. Blood in pictures is alright, so long as it's not guts-spilling-out gore. Tasteful nudity is alright in the Artwork area as well, so long as a clear warning is posted in the thread name.
4. No taking pictures created by other artists and claiming them as your own.
If someone drew a picture of your character, and you have permission from them to post the artwork, that is perfectly fine. However, if I see any obvious plagiarism, you will be warned, and after the second offense, banned. There is a template thread where you can find images to color to look like your character here, and there are plenty of artists out there who would be glad to draw your character for you, such as on the forums at Fanart Central. Art theft is something I have zero tolerance for.
5. Sexual stuff and dating
...is a whole other story...dating is fine between characters, cuddling, 'love biting,' etc (just realize that IC actions have IC consequences...if the alphas say "no mates," you may want to watch yourself). However, I do not want to see any graphic sexual encounters between characters in the public boards. This will change if I decide to put up a private board.
6. Cursing...
Honestly, I don't have a problem with it and do it at least once a day myself, so I'm not going to sit here and say "OMFG, no using teh bad wordz here!!!" Just don't do it heavily (example, censored for those who haven't discovered the personal censor area yet: What the f**k, did you see that motherf**king movie, it was such f**king sh*t!). Remember, there is an area in your profile where you can choose which words you want censored, so don't get pissed at us if your mummy and daddy banned you from the computer after seeing cussing on here...use the personal censor, it's there for a reason! I will not, however, tolerate racist or homophobic slang (that's why they have been censored through the admin area, but I know how certain personality types will love to try and invent ways to get around that...). You have been warned.
That is about all for rules. Thank you for taking the time to read them!
