IN-CHARACTER POSTING

∙ Members are not permitted to post IC until their character has been approved
∙ Members are expected to be mature and know what is and is not appropriate as far as content is concerned. If you think what you post might cause other players discomfort, either rewrite or post a warning in the topic description. That being said, we do allow graphic violence and graphic sex in the role play threads.

» The site rating is [M] for mature, though we do allow all sorts of role players of all ages. If anything here makes you uncomfortable, you are more than welcome to let us know and/or leave.
» Allow me to repeat myself: if things are going to go beyond the PG-13 level, please indicate so in the title so that viewing members may have a heads up and swerve away if they need to.

∙ Posts are to be written in third person, past tense.
∙ While there is some wiggle-room, we ask that all posts be a minimum of 75 words.

» Song lyrics, poetry, and the like do not count towards this minimum as more than one hundred words.

∙ Under no circumstances will chatspeak or l33tspeek be accepted in character. Posts containing such will be deleted without warning.
∙ It is recommended that members run their posts through a word processor if possible to catch any major spelling or grammatical errors.

» If you have an error, please do not just post another post - modify your first post. That being said, double-posting is not allowed at all.

∙ Font is to stay at the default color and size unless otherwise stated.

» You may change your font to georgia, papyrus, arial, or whatever else you wish to. Please note that the fonts must be readable.

∙ Controlling another's character ("God-Modding" and "Power-Playing") is forbidden. This includes making assumptions about one's character - for example, that they have a crush/are madly in love with yours.
∙ While character deaths are allowed, players must first discuss the matter with an administrator. Additionally, it is important to note that once a character is dead, you cannot bring them back.
∙ If a topic is labeled as 'closed', or it's indicated that the poster desires a specific person to reply (that isn't you), please be considerate and don't post.
∙ Please refrain from OOC chatter as much as possible. Some is alright, if you must, but IC forums are for IC posts. This is what PMs are for, people XD
