(THE RULES)
[/color][/b][/font][/center]
[/blockquote][/blockquote]Hello kiddo! The title is really self explanatory.. Yeah, you need to read this stuff. I know it can be a big pain, but I promise I'll make it quick. Make sure to get everything otherwise the admins will be hot on your heels and you do not want that!
(ACTIVITY)
[/color][/b][/font][/center]
[/blockquote][/blockquote]If you plan to join and ditch then turn your little booty around right now! Seriously, it's just plain lame when someone joins and never even submits an application. In general I'm a bit of a freak when it comes to activity, so don't just think that you can use this site as a place to go every two weeks when boredom hits! We want dedicated people, so don't join if you aren't going to be a committed member. We've got a new policy that if a member has not submitted an application two weeks after registering, they will be deleted. This is our way of keeping our site full of active, dedicated people. Now I know that a bunch of you have school, work and actual lives to leave, so I am not going to demand that you come on every day, but at the very least a few times a week minimum! Especially if you play a cannon, activity is really important.. Okay, activity is not just logging in, it is ACTUALLY posting something! Actual posts..., Not OOC posts. You can post those if you're caught up! No muse? Let's face it people, it's a bit of a lame excuse. Write through it and you'll be back on track in no time.. Absences. First part of code is chels. I'm really flexible if you have to go away, as long as you PM an admin or post in the correct board with a warning, so we're prepared for your momentary absence XD.
(REGISTRATION)
[/color][/b][/font][/center]
[/blockquote][/blockquote]Cookies to you if you sign up! - cough - ahem. Back to business. When signing up, make sure that you do so with first, middle and last name! In the sign up area you will find an application. Fill it out CORRECTLY and with CARE or I will go Death Eater on you! Nah, just kidding;P.. but seriously, spend a few extra moments to make your character interesting and unique. Need help? Ask! Honestly, we don't bite. Once you have submitted an application, don't PM and admin about acceptance. Period. Just don't. Give us 24 hours to get around to it before even thinking it. Second part of code is and marily. We all have real lives to lead, so be patient. PS: You can have as many characters as you want and can handle. Just don't hog all the cannons! And create at least one guy for every two girls. It sucks when there's like ten males and fifty females. Keep it even okay? To save all of our minds from the spammers/trolls/whatever, it is required for all members to activate their account and validate their email before being allowed to post. Believe me, it's for the best.
(RATING)
[/color][/b][/font][/center]
[/blockquote][/blockquote]This site is rated PG-13. We do allow somewhat mature material so long as it does not exceed PG-13 material. For threads like this, you may play out the events leading to intercourse, but you must fast forward the actual intercourse to when the deed is done. Third part of code word is are. If the need arises for one, we will make a password protected board for romance scenes, but we will be monitoring every thread within it to make sure all content is PG-13. Until that board is made, however, please put a maturity content warning in the title of your thread so people know! Questions concerning maturity and how to go about romance threads? Just PM a staff member.
(ROLEPLAY)
[/color][/b][/font][/center]
[/blockquote][/blockquote]We are a literate site, and accept members that can keep up with the pace. Just note that even noobs (newbies XD) can post at least three decent paragraphs! The admins have got hawk eyes and we will not tolerate one liners or two liners or tree liner etc. Three decent paragraphs per rp post. It's not much to ask, so be nice and use your brains and creativity! Fourth part of code is totally. Also, even short post can look a heck of a lot better if you use some nice coding, and images to make it look really sleek and polished. Regarding chat talk. It's fine in the ooc boards as long as people can actually understand what it is your are trying to say, but don't use it in roleplay threads! Period. Also, all rp's are to be written in third person. It's just really strange when people roleplay from the characters own point of view. Third person please.
(GRAPHICS)
[/color][/b][/font][/center]
[/blockquote][/blockquote]Graphics rule the world, and are basically awesome in every single way! Last part of code is awesome! You must have both a signature and icon for your character so that we can get a really nice look at how this person is appearance wise. I shouldn't have to say this, but no pornographic, or nude material in any graphics or pictures you post on this site!!! Also one of the things that really can get me rolling is glittery and blinking, hot pink, tacky stuff all over the place, so none of that please. Don't stretch the boards with your images either, okay? If you do, it will be taken down and you will receive a nice little PM that explains why. We prefer that your icons feature your actual characters rather than funny quotes about that character or whatever. Those can be used in the c-box. Also, the maximum size for icons is 100x100 so please don't use anything bigger than that; it stretches the board. Signatures can be whatever size you'd like so long as it doesn't stretch the board.
Now, regarding face claims. The staff will hold a face claim for up to five days, but no longer. There is no discussing this as we can't hold a face claim for weeks if the person has ditched. No two people can use the same celeb unless they are twins. No exceptions. Sometimes it happens that someone will pick a really odd celeb for a certain site and the looks of that person just don't fit in. In such a case, the staff will tell you in a nice way that you'll have to pick someone else. Just be nice about it and don't whine. Just pick a different celeb and it's all good XD. PS : No flickr kids or cartoons and whatnot. Actual people!
(ALL THE REST)
[/color][/b][/font][/center]
[/blockquote][/blockquote]Whew! I think that's it. Sorry, that took a lot longer than planned, but I believe that I got everything covered. Any questions, as always just PM an admin and we will happily help you out. It's what we're here for!
XOXO. CHELS && MARILY.
