Okay, so I accidentally deleted the first rules. Let's try this again.
1. Try to stay in character as much as possible, unless in a board that specifies it's OOC. All OOC comments otherwise should be marked by ((blah blah blah)) or (blah blah blah).
2. Don't say/do anything offensive. Although you may not see/hear the people on this site, it doesn't mean they don't have emotions/lives of their own.
3. Don't partake in any illegal activity while on this forum. (Although abiding by the law normally is probably a good idea)
4. DO NOT talk in net speak (leet or 1337). It's really annoying. Also, seeing a whole bunch of smilies in a row is quite aggravating. I don't want to see anything like this:
"Heyz! I waz l00kin around & i wanna join th15 forum! itll b gr8! ;D ;D
;D "
*shudders*
5. Romance is allowed. Just try to keep it at a PG-13 level.
6. Swearing is allowed, but try not to swear in every other post you have. Try to keep it in context.
7. If you join a thread in the RPG area, don't join another one at the same time. You can't be two places at once, and neither can your character.
8. Do not insult anyone on the site! I didn't think I'd really have to add this, but I apparently do.
9. On the Cbox, please use your character's or your account's name. Using someone else's name is strictly forbidden, and will result in dire consequences.
10. Don't godmod. Example:
Wrong: Billie sent a kunai flying at Matt. The kunai hit Matt in the eye and sent him falling back into the abyss.
Right: Billie sen a kunai flying at Matt, attempting to hit him in the eye and maybe send him flying backward into the abyss.
11. YOU ARE NOT A GOD! All characters must take damage at some point. It's natural for you to want your character invincible, but at some point they have to be hurt, even if it's just being scraped by a blade, or being knicked by a punch.
12. BE REALISTIC! I don't mind mad combo moves, but DON'T make yourself stay in midair for three pages or have a random all-knowing apple or something pop out. ((You know who you are.))
13. DO NOT kill of characters for no reason/in insane manners. If you create a character, you are expected to allow them a decent life span. When their time comes, please have them die in battle or some plausible/normally accepted way. ((That means you, Fatality.))
Penalties:
1st offense: warning from one of the staff
2nd offense: banned for a day*
3rd offense: banned for a week*
4th offense: banned for a month*
5th offense: account DELETED and user BANNED
* Time may change depending on seriousness of offense.
Other than that, I can't think of much. I'll update this if any other problems come up.
