Out of Character

1.
It’s quite simple to be respectful. Please remember that some people are on this forum to relax in their down time. But when an Admin or Staff says no don’t go to the other admin and try to play us off against one another. Not cool. Also if you have a problem with another member please bring it to up to the admin or another staff member. We aren’t mean, we'll help.

2.
Graphics? So you have the ability to make them, great. Just keep a signature to about 500x200. It’s simple and doesn’t stretch the page. And remember not everyone has DSL or fast internet so it may take them longer for the images to load. Avatars/Icons, lets keep them no bigger than a 100x100, but no 50x50. Those are puny.

3.
Posting Length. This is a must, if any of us see you continuously posting short responses you will be given a warning. Now there is a code in this wonderful forum that counts the words in each post. Now normally a minimum post should be an easy 350 words. And that extra stuff, like icons, graphics, other pretty stuff doesn’t count towards you’re 350 words. This is a semi-literate site. Some members are more advanced writers than others. But I do not want to see one liners.

4.
In TRASHED & SCATTERED swearing, sex, drugs, and pregnancies are permitted. With baby plots, please explain to the Admins the plot and who is involved and mostly we’ll give you the okay. But we don’t want everyone pregnant, and also no one under sixteen may allow to present a baby plot. Sex has to be marked in the thread title as ‘R’ or ‘M’ so other viewers don’t stumble upon it. Now remember staff monitors the threads around the site, so we’ll catch anyone breaking this. Swearing, we don’t want to see it every other word. Drugs are completely fine just please don’t go too detailed.

5.
Posting, we only go in third person, if we see first person or second there will be a warning.
ex:
Sally took a long walk down to the blue colored lake.
[third person]
I took a walk that seemed to last forever to the lake.
[first person]
You took a walk that lead down to the lake.
[second person]

6.
There is not limit on how many characters you can have. We understand that some roleplayers can deal with more characters. Just please, keep all of your characters active. Also, each character will have its own account, so no multiple characters on one account.

In Character

1.
Please remember this site is brought to you because your Admins are wonderful hard workers and have spent many late nights to finish this site. Also we have decided this forum is a little bit in 2011 , it's based somewhere in Las Angeles.

2.
No Mary-Sue or Gary-Shoes running around. YOU ARE NOT DYING humans, so remember just make sure you're character can balance itself out. No one is perfect.

3.
Please use a celeb or model for face claiming. NO anime allowed. Please remember if you want you're celeb, it's first come first serve, and there is no negotiation.

4.
If you’re are a mean character, please do not take it personal. Because its just in character not in real life. But please keep the racism, and bullying out of the C-box and keep it low in threads. Even though bullying is accepted to a degree in threads, if its over board we will step in.

5.
Please attend class, they are fun when they get going. If you are a student. Please do not have more than four class threads at one time. Let’s keep the class threads going.

If you have read the rules, then congratulations! You may create your character now!
