forum rules

[vicky !]

creating your account

you must register using your character's first and last names. for example, harry potter would be registered as 'harrypotter'. once your account has been created and activated, you should change your display name to your character's first, middle and last names in lowercase. to use the former example, this would be 'harry james potter'. each character should be registered on a separate account. you must have an icon of 100x100 pixels on each account and a centered signature no larger than 500x250 pixels is encouraged. these should both feature your face claim.

advertising your forum

you may advertise here but please keep adverts to the allocated boards. adverts posted in the chatbox or in other boards will be deleted. affiliate banners should be exactly 88x31 pixels and they will be resized accordingly if they are not. only members of staff should advertise for this forum.

creating your characters

as was stated in the first section, all characters should be created on a separate account. while there is currently no limit to the number of characters you may have, please only create as many as you can handle. we encourage you to vary your characters to make things more interesting both for you and for other members. this will also reduce the chance of certain characteristics being banned to balance statistics. perfect characters and abusive backgrounds will not be permitted - nobody's good at everything and there's better ways to make your character interesting.

playing your characters

powerplaying will not be accepted and if amendments are not made, the post(s) will be deleted. scenes of a sexual nature are forbidden by the proboards terms of services and so such scenes should not take place within threads. all posts should be at least two hundred words long and should be written in the third person and past tense e.g. she sat down. correct grammar, spelling and punctuation is encouraged at all times. if you would like your character to be killed, severely injuried, pregnant or married, you will need to gain permission from the staff and they reserve the right to deny it if they see fit.

respecting other members

no member of this forum is exempt from the rules. you will respect all other members and any incidences of bullying or discrimination will not be tolerated. an immediate ban will be placed and staff will then decide how long this ban will be in place for based on how serious the incident is. if you witness a rule break, please notify a member of staff rather than trying to deal with it yourself.

The administrators reserve the right to change these rules as they see fit at any time. It is your responsibility to review these rules periodically and leave the forum if for any reason you are unwilling to abide by them.
