GENERAL RULES
1) Obeying the Rules You must obey all rules and listen to the staff. If you break a rule, please do not argue. The staff know best.
2) No Spamming No spamming, which means posting twice in a row, short sentences, anything random in your posts, etc.
3) Language Swearing is aloud, though nothing to harsh, and use it scarcely. Not just swearing, this site is English, which means no foreign language posting (unless it is used in in-character dialogue).]
4) Activity You must be active, or let the administrator know that you will be gone for a period of time. If your bio is not accepted and you are not active for two weeks, then your bio will be deleted. If you bio is accepted and you are not active for a week, it will be moved to the Inactive Characters board.
5) Character Bios Before you can begin roleplay, your bio must be accepted! For your bio to be accepted, a staff member must either critique or accept your bio. Please do not argue with the staff if they ask for you to change something in your bio; they know best.
6) Multiple Accounts There will be a limit on the number of characters that you may play. If you wish to play more than one character, you will need to create another account for your new character. Each member will only be allowed one Canon Character. Only three characters per person please. We will know if you break this rule!
7) Display Name When joining, make sure your display name is all uppercase letters and there are no commas, exclamation points, and little dodads.
8) Plaugerism Plaugerism will not be tolerated. If we find out that your plaugerised a canon character's bio, or anything else, you will be banned.
9) Icon You need to at least have an icon of your celebrity in your profile to be accepted. The code word is "crazy".
10) Signature Make your signatures be a reasonable size. Not restricting it to one particular, but know when your signature will stretch the site, it will be removed.
ROLEPLAYING RULES
1) Stay in Theme It is pretty easy to stay in theme. This forum is dedicated to Heroes. Any roleplay posts that drift from the main topic will be deleted.
2) Mary/Gary Sues Your character may not be PERFECT! No one in real life is perfect, correct? Please make your character have flaws; it makes roleplay seem more realistic.
3) Third Person - Past Tense All roleplaying must be in third person - "He walked up to Scott." not "I walked up to Scott." Also, we do not accept posts written in Present Tense - "He walked up to Scott" not "He walks up to Scott". See the difference?
4) Chatting in Roleplays When talking out of character, type OOC - before whatever it is you need to say.
5) Grammar We're not very strict here on Grammar and Punctuation, but at least make it readable. Try to use spell check. It is not a necessity, however.
6) God-Modding No god-modding/power playing, which means you cannot control other people's characters.
7) Death You cannot kill another player's character without their permission; however, if you want to kill off your own character, you may do so at any time.
8) Romance It is aloud, but keep it to a minimum. No graphic descriptions, please.
9) No One-Liners! I cannot exaggerate this rule enough. Please, no one liners. Try to make your rp posts a paragraph, at least; 5 solid sentences.
10) Posting Order If you are in a thread with 3 or more people do keep a posting order. It isn't fair if two people post three pages before the third gets a chance to post!
RESPECT FOR STAFF MEMBERS
1) Advertising Do not advertise through PMing people or through the Cbox. It's quite rude when there is an advertising and affiliating board here to use for that purpose.
2) Authority Respect authority, staff members are here to make this board run smoothly so that everyone can have fun. So if a staff member send you a small warning if anything is wrong, be a sport and don't give them hard time.
3) Mini-Mods Do NOT try to be an admin. That is the admin's jobs. If you see someone that has done something wrong, LET AN ADMIN KNOW. Please do not become harsh and treat them as though they should know better. I lied. The code word is actually "potato".
4) Respect Others It's understandable if two characters are enemies in rp, but if I catch anyone dissing/targeting specifically another member in the Cbox or OOC boards, I will give the said person a warning. Two warnings for breaking this rule will mean getting a permanent ban from the site. Do keep this in mind and cool your jets before doing this.
Everyone have a good time!
