[ADMIN ?!]

G E N E R A L R U L E S

• please do not post anywhere without being accepted first. it's rude and disrespectful.
  
• do not harass the admins. we're busy, and we have lives too. we'll get to whatever we can, when we can.
  
• don't harass other members on the board. we don't need extra drama. everyone should get along just fine.
  
• you must tolerate EVERYONE here. no racism, homophobia, or anything of the type. i am very severe about this one and if i catch you, i will delete you - you have been warned.
  
• cursing is allowed, but please don't make it every other word. that's unnecessary in everyday talk.
  
• your display name should be "character's first name, middle name, last name". for example, "stevie annmarie hart". i don't want to see sTeeviE xx3. that's really ugly to look at. keep it plain and simple, it's nicer that way.
  
• signatures should not be so huge that they stretch the page. also, don't use any anime characters or cartoons or drawings, please. if you can't make graphics, make a request - we are more than competent, between the members you'll get what you're looking for. we want to keep it looking neat around here. icons should be no more than 100 x 100.
  
• please, do not view other people's pbs as 'disney kids' or 'gossip girl people'. each face has a different personality - they are no longer 'selena gomez' or 'penn badgley'. they are their character, nothing more. cross shipping is more than encouraged, as well. c:
  
• please, don't spam our boards. it's annoying and stupid, and it's a waste of everyone's time.
  
• if you're going to use the cbox, please be mature about it. don't spam or advertise in it, or we'll ban you out.
  
• if you want to link back, please do it correctly. post things where they need to go. this goes for everything on the board.
  
• one character per account. organization is nice.
  

T H R E A D S & P O S T I N G

• no god-moding, or power playing, or whatever you want to call it. you can't control another person's character in any way, whatsoever.
  
• with this, your character cannot be a 'mary-sue' or a 'gary-stu'. they can't be super smart, perfect looking, and have no flaws. please, be creative. mary sues make me die a little inside every time i see them.
  
• alright, we have at least a 400-500 word posting minimum. it's not really asking that much. some of us post over 1000 words, so the skills range varies. we like to think of ourselves as a medium to advanced rpg. please be fair, if someone works hard on their post they deserve a decent reply back.
  
• spell check your posts and edit for grammar, please. if your posts get sloppy, we will let you know and if they continue on that way you will recieve a warning.
  
• i have no tolerance for chatspeak. i don't want to see any1 tYpiN lyKe dIz oN teH boArdzz!111. look at that. that's not even coherent english. for the sake of my brain cells and my eyes, just don't do it.
  
• seeing as this is a real-life RPG, people get pregnant, start fights, get killed, etc. just don't go overboard, okay? no one likes a drama queen (or king).
  
• sexual threads are allowed, but if they become too graphic you'll get a warning. please put (R) or some sort of indication that your thread contains sexuality - if you don't, you'll get warned as well.

• thanks for reading all this, if you actually did.
  
• most importantly, have fun c:
