••OOC and You
Your character HAS to be ACCEPTED before you can do any type of In Character activities. These activities would include In Character games, Relations, Role-Playing, In Character claims, and the In Character chatbox. Though you may technically not use the ICC before acceptance, if you PM an admin with a good enough reason, you may be able to test them out in ICC. Even if you are granted this permission, just remember it can be taken away just as easily and if we catch you doing this without permission, we will give you a strict warning.
Your character MUST be accepted by an admin. Moderators are not allowed to accept bios. However, they are allowed to PM you about what you need to fix if your bio hasn't been looked over by the Administration within 24 hours of the time it was posted. If you see a Mod accepting bios, and we'll probably find out anyway, we'd still like you to PM one of the admin accounts about it with a link to the bio they are accepting.
We ask that you please be patient with us as you wait for acceptance. Though it may seem like we have no lives, the admins can't be on every second of the day to look over biographies and judge them for acceptance. We would entirely love you if you would just be patient with us.
•Posting
There are only few limitations on posting, such as pictures, font sizes, and colors. First off, I thought we should start off with font sizes and colors. As you may have noticed, our skin is a bit dark. Very dark fonts, such as Navy and Purple are see-able on here, but not by much. I know that I usually have to highlight so I don't get a headache from trying to read it. Onto font size. Any font size is acceptable, really, as long as it's not below size 1 and not so big that there's only one word per line.
Pictures are almost the same thing for every site. On our site, they can not be wider than 500 pixels wide and not over 300 pixels tall. We'd appreciate it if we didn't have the page stretched, nor would we want to keep scrolling and scrolling to go past your signature. Your avatar can be no larger than 100 pixels wide and tall, please. THERE IS NO PORNOGRAPHIC OR DISCRIMINATING OR JUST PLAIN INAPPROPRIATE PICTURES, OR LINKS. You will get in major trouble for breaking this one. If we catch you breaking this rule you will get banned by email and I.P. address and we WILL report you. You've been warned.
•Playing Nicely
There will be no drama in the Out Of Character boards, threads, chats, and other OOC places. Drama is meant for In Character Role-Play. Don't get mad at people for what they do to your character. Have your character get mad, if anything. There is no need for you to freak out because someone just cussed out your character. We do not appreciate harassment, hateful comments, racism, sexist comments, harmful religious comments, or explicit language aimed at members.
•Things I Remembered
No gary stu's, mary su's, or any perfect characters.
You may have as many characters as you want.
Though you MUST keep them active.
There will be bans on certain characters now and again, so watch out.
ALWAYS USE GOOD GRAMMAR, EVEN IN THE CBOXES.
And always remember,
••IC and You
All posts should contain AT LEAST 200 words That is not too much to ask. If you find yourself having any problems coming up with that amount, remember to include any smells your character is around, sounds they hear, things they see. Simple details like that can really spice up any post.
This is a MATURE site.. Drugs, sex, and violence are almost guaranteed to happen. We do ask that you put an [R] or [M] to warn other of the content, as some wouldn't like to fall into a thread where Jimmy and Jane are going at it.
Cursing is allowed. Though please do not go overboard with this and curse in every sentence. Of course, if your character has a problem with cursing, then by all means, feel free to curse as much as you want.
•Interaction
Some things will need to be approved by an admin first. We are aware that teen pregnancy happens, and the rates seem to be increasing. If you are wanting your character to get pregnant, please speak with an admin about it first. Nobody wants to see twenty pregnant high school girls running, well hobbling, around one site.
Love at first sight? Now, I'm not saying it doesn't exist...But most people don't end up marrying their first girlfriend or boyfriend. There are fights, breakups, tears, and heartache. Not a fairy tale ending all the time. Don't feel like you MUST only date or associate with one person on this site. It's a free world. Do what you want.[/ul]
