Rules and Regulations[/u][/color]
Idea’s Forum Rules
1.) Keep your ideas rated PG-13 at the very least. We are very lenient on what can be said and/or done here, but please run it by an admin first. If you feel the need to have "M" rated material, say so in the thread title. We do want this forum to stay clean and happy. Is this making any sense?
2.) Vulgar and inappropriate actions towards other members is NOT acceptable. Mentally, and physically, if that's even possible. Don’t be an antagonist, it’s very annoying. =(
3.) Same goes for language. Keep the conversations on a decent level. Some of us get disgusted easily.
Absence Forum Rules:
First off: Why are you leaving us in the first place!? That’s so rude. But we will miss you dearly.
1.) When someone is leaving for some unknown reason, don’t rejoice out loud. It makes them feel worse, and they won’t want to come back. Then they’re really gone. =(
2.) Could you try to keep it short? Some of us can’t stand to read such long paragraphs, or explanations as to why you are leaving. We don’t need a whole lot there, just a simple, “I’m going to be gone for a bit, hope to be back soon!” would be just nice. =)
3.) If you’re going to be gone for a day or three, don’t tell us. It’s not that long anyways. I’m sure some of us would survive for the remainder of that time you are absent.
Last; please come back soon!
Photography
1.) We all love picture threads! Seeing everyone’s beautiful faces is a real treat! But don’t post any inappropriate photos. Ex: nudes, inappropriate positions, bad body language, etc. Keep it clean, please.
2.) We might have some photography threads. I think we’d all love to see your work. =) When posting a picture, please post one YOU took. Not someone’s. We don’t like fakes. And if your friend took this amazing picture, and you just have to share it, give them credit. No plagiarism.
3.) Don’t bad mouth other member’s work. It’s very inappropriate, and hurts their feelings. And we do care about feelings in this forum! >=/ It makes you look ignorant and uncaring. Just give them some simple criticism, and help them get better. We don’t want to see any, “I hate this. It’s stupid.” If such rude comments are made an admin will reprimand your behaviour. Next time? Well, we don’t give second chances. =) That kind of behavior doesn’t belong here.
Signatures/Avatars:
1.) Once again, PLEASE keep it appropriate. No nude, disgusting pictures, or bad language.
2.) Be original. Don’t steal someone's work. Once again, plagiarism is not accepted. But if you do, ask them first, and give them credit.
3.) Don’t harass someone for a signature or avatar. It’s VERY annoying. Chances are, they don’t even want to make you one now.
4.) When making your own thread, keep all or your work in THAT thread. You don’t need to post a new one every time you make a new set. It’s too much spam.
5.) All signatures must be at most 500x300. If it stretches the board, please re-size.
Music:
1.) We will have a couple music threads. Ex: Song of the Moment. We don’t care what you list, or what you are listening to. Just don’t spam the thread with conversations. I.e. ‘“Gimme More’ - Britney Spears. OMG Julie! Did you see Days of our Lives yesterday!? Jack was amazing!” NONE of this.
2.) If you’re having trouble about a song, and need help understanding it, go ahead and post away! But don’t post stupid songs, that are talking about drinking, or sex. No one wants to explain that to you. =/
Other:
1.) If you’re having any problems with the site, or are finding another member unreasonably rude, don’t harass us with messages. Just send us one. We will get to it.
2.) Please, please, PLEASE keep these forums clean and happy. You are allowed to post about a million topics here, so keep them appropriate. Because you do have the freedom of speech. But be wise.
3.) Contests. These are fun. But before you start one, please run it by with the moderator of that forum. And keep your topics fun. No stupid ones. Ex: Best Middle Finger Picture! That’s incredibly stupid, and believe me, I have seen one just like that.
Poetry:
1.) Poetry is such a wonderful art. =) But don’t bad mouth it. If you don’t like it, say it in a nicer way, and give reasons as to why you don’t like it. No short one or two word replies.
2.) Make sure all poetry is originally your work. You are allowed to share poems by other people, just give them credit.
3.) Inappropriate poems will be automatically deleted. Keep them CLEAN.
Spamming:
1.) Spamming is an official IP Ban. Spamming is absolutely not allowed on this forum; As in many forums.
Role Play:
1.) We have had questions about the rules regarding in Role Plays. YES they still apply. However, the cursing may be more vulgar. Do not push it.
2.) Sex is to be avoided. Keep it at a standard PG-13 rated. I.E. Kissing, hugging. Nothing past that.
3.) The mention of drugs and alcohol cannot be elaborated. Skip the detail on that. If you want to state a man was "drunkenly stumbling into the pub," that is accepted. Do not mention the brand of alcohol.
4.) Other dimensions are not permitted. Examples could be ghost plain, nightmare realm, ect; Reasons include the fact that it would more or less lead into a pointless RP. Like saying that you go into another world, you've left the original room entirely.
5.) Absolutely NO God Modding. If you make your character invinsible, I will PERSONALLY ban you for an amount of time that could vary between 1 day to a whole week. It will, of course be a three warnings mark. First offense, warning level. Second offense, a long letter lecture. Third, you're banned.
6.) All Role Plays must be at least 250 words. Any less just makes our site look unprofessional and boring.
7.) When Role Playing, always read everyone's post.
Do not over post. That means if several members are involved don't post right off the bat.
Reason(s):
1.) When many people are involved in a Role Play it is easy to stray off topic. That will cause the Role Play to become just a collaboration of mini-Role Play's. It will be messy and users will be uninterested in the Role Play. Thus, causing it to die.
2.) When multiple people are Role Playing, keep all characters active. Do not go unnoticed of other actions that characters make.
3.) Keep it fair. No characters may be allowed to possess powers or abilities that will automatically make them stronger than anyone else. We have many members of different Role Playing skills, and we want it to be fair for them to gain strength and learn how have a stronger character.
4.) However if your character possesses elements over time, water, wind, fire, earth, it will be too much power for them and it outdo the other characters.
5.) Therefore, abilities that consist the control of time, or any element, is not allowed.
Characters:
1.) Please be original with created characters. We do not need two characters who are the same with different names. It's very annoying.
2.) If you want more than one character, that's fine. Please make a separate account for that character. It will be your responsibility to keep up with your characters.
3.) Try to have a maximum of three characters. Give others a chance. =]
4.) If your character is a patient, please be sure he or she is not indestructible. Everyone here is human. You can be hurt.
- Powers for patients -
- You can use things like telekinesis or telepathy. Things as such are allowed, but not so original. Please, try to create your own power/gift if can. -
