I'll try to keep this brief, as rules are pretty boring, but we do need a few to keep things running smoothly around here.
• • Ok, first thing's first. When you get the chance, you need to take a quick peek at the PROBOARDS TOS, since these things are the deciding factor on whether we get to keep this pretty little board or not. You break any of these rules, the site gets wiped, basically.
• • Second, but by no means less important: The Admins word is final. What she says, goes and she only clamps down on rule-breakers for the good of the site, so please listen to herrrr!
• • Respect your fellow members at all times. Manners cost nothing, right?
• • Anybody under the age of 13 will have to come back when you're a bit older. Sorry guys and gals, but Proboards would have our head on a stick.
• • They would also kick our butt if any of the content on here was too mature. This means no swearing and all of that graphic, violent, gory, overly sexual content, pleaseandthankyou.
• • With regards to accounts; 1 is fine; 2 is good; 3 is the limit; 4+ would need to be given the thumbs up by the Admin, so hurl a message at her if you want any more than that. If she thinks you can't keep up with all of your characters, it's highly unlikely she'll give you the go-ahead. (Activeness = Love)
CHARACTERS[/u][/size][/font]
• • Mary Sue's/Gary Stu's aren't welcome here. Perfect, flawless characters, just aren't realistic, are they?
• • Three little words: NO. GOD. MODDING. Thankyaverymuch. Basically, controlling other people's characters without their permission isn't big, and it isn't clever. So please don't do it.
• • I repeat: ACTIVENESS = LOVE!! We'll be doing activity checks regularly, and if you haven't posted in an RP thread (games and OOC threads don't count) for more than two months, you should be worried. Deleting will possibly follow. It would be a good idea to try and get online at least twice a week.
RP-ING[/u][/size][/font]
• • Proper grammar and spelling would be much appreciated. There's a spell check button on here to help you out, so please do your best to keep the standards high around here.
• • Replying to a thread with just one line of action or dialogue will result in said reply getting deleted. It's not acceptable RPing. You should at least try to match the other people in your threads for effort. E.g If someone begins a thread with a 500 word post, and you reply with three sentences, it's not going to be a very good thread, is it? There's no word count limit on here, but please do your best to put good, lengthy posts out for people to reply to.
• • Spamming.... *shakes head* Don't do it. If we see people posting (especially in RP threads) with something completely unrelated to the topic, evil glares are going to be thrown about. Seriously.
• • Also, double posting (e.g posting in a thread, and then replying again straight after yourself) is frowned upon. *frowns upon it* See.... >
• • On the subject of tagging threads, it's kinda handy, and might be an idea to put [open] or [o] in a thread that anyone can join in. Or if you're planning an RP with someone specific, tag [their name] in the title. It's pretty helpful for people looking for threads to join. =)
GRAPHICS[/u][/size][/font]
• • You MUST have an avatar and signature. If you're struggling to find some, or don't know how/lack the resources to make them, we have a graphics board at the bottom of the site where you can post requests. Our Graphics Team will love you for it.
• • All images must be of real people. So no cartoons or drawings or anything, please.
• • Sizes: Avatars should be no larger than 175px (wide) and 250px (tall). Signatures no bigger than 500px (wide) and 300px (tall). Any images bigger than this will be removed or you will be asked to resize them, as they stretch the boards in an unsightly way.
