Your Basic Rules
1. You must read and follow these rules, or else if serious enough, you may get banned from this site, and it is your own fault. We have a warning system. If we find out if you're causing trouble.. or not following the rules, you get a warning [this will show up in your profile]. It'll soon be gone, but if you do it again, you get another warning and so forth... After the end of your 3rd warning, do something bad again and you'll be gone forever guys.
2. Be respectful to everything on this site! which means, be respectful in ooc boards, to the admins of this site, you know...
3. You must be approved before starting to RP anywhere. This includes OOC boards and the celebrity claim. You'll be approved by the next day at the latest!
4. Do not SPAM anywhere. In pms or boards. There's a reason for an advertising board.
5. No racism allowed on this board. Zip, done.
6. Do not use anything you have stolen on this site. That puts me & you into a heap of trouble. People work hard to make graphics, or put lots of effort into their writing. And therefore, do not steal anything off this site. This includes the plots, these rules and anything else that you have no permission re-using.
7. Please read the Wellington Handbook Rules also, just for some more role-playing tips.
On Role Playing
1. No god-modding of any characters, that is, unless they allow you too. And even here, I personally find it rude to do this....
2. No, under no circumstances, nah-uh, stop thinking about it, will anything on these boards, will go past the limits of PG-13! Doing anything (sex, pregnancy, ect.) will sentence you to a permanent ban! Please clean up your acts here. I'm not saying kissing and hand holding isn't allowed.. just stay within the borders of PG-13.
3. Keep the swearing to a minimal. Which means don't swear every two seconds. And if you are going to swear, use *** stars, in your words. I'm not going to go over every single word that's labeled under cuss word. But use your common sense.
4. Act your age!
7. Please, no 'perfect' characters around here. no one is perfect in real life, so none here. You can have a character who thinks they're perfect, but they must have some flaws to them.
8. Please try and post more than one lines. posting one-liners {posts with one line} make it hard for some people to post back too. Sadly, I was one of them way back when I started rping... But then my friend gave me a wake-up call. And now, I actually like posting long, detailed posts. ON my bad day, a one-liner with a bit of detail might slip in but still. I don't want this site to be filled with endless one-line posts apart from in the OOC boards. I'll have to delete them without warning. Also, please use spell check and check your grammar over. You don't know what it's like trying to post back to someone with bad spelling and grammar.... Ok, tell the truth, which one sounds better?
a) Isabelle ran into the room. She stomped and was mad at her dad. She sat down at a desk and starting having a fit.
OR
b) Isabelle ran into an empty classroom after meeting her father at Hogsmeade. How dare he tell her what to do? She was 17 for heaven's sakes! She was of age. Didn't he think that she could think for herself? Besides, what did he know? Did he know that she didn't want to become a top ranking auror like him? She wanted to be something of her own! She flicked her dirty blonde hair and tears started to trickle out of her green eyes. Stop being such a baby Isabelle she thought to herself. Walking to a desk, she sat down and put her head on the desk. What was wrong with her? Her parents only wanted the best for her, and what was she doing? Throwing .code word is perfectionist. everything back at them. She knew all the rumors about her were true, she was just a selfish brat. She might of looked like she was having a fit, but really, she was thinking things through... Her mind filled with way too many thought for her to keep, but she knew she had to.
On Graphics
1. Keep the sigs to a minimal size. I'm not putting a restriction on the size, that is, unless people take advantage of this. HUGE signatures will be deleted automatically. No warning. And please don't haven them risque. This will have us delete them too.
2. Graphics made on this site, stay on this board. End of disussion.... Unless you ask the graphic maker if you use the sig they made for you on another site and they said yes. Then yes, you can use them on another site. But all graphics specially made for Time of Dying, stay here since I made most of them.
3. No using.... risque pictures in you avys or your sig. I'll delete those automatically and give you a warning. remember, we might have thirteen year olds on here.
4. Seriously, again. If I get any complaints about you using someone graphic without permission, you'll get banned. It's happened to me more than once and I hate it when it happens. And people who get their things stolen, promptly tell me please!
