General Rules
1. Follow the rules!
2. Obey all Proboards ToS rules.
3. No double posting.
4. No Powerplaying/God-modeling.
5. No flaming.
6. R. E. S. P. E. C. T. Respect. Respect for everyone on the site. Respect for the staff, respect for your fellow members, respect visitors. Just show everyone courteous respect.
7. Don't argue with staff over rule-related issues. If you broke a rule, you broke a rule. Drop it before it makes matters worse.
8. Don't do/say anything to anyone that you wouldn't do/say to someone if they lived right next door and could come over and punch you in the face. This kinda goes in with respect, but really, this is the Internet. Things need to be emphasized and repeated.
9. Don't do/say anything to anyone that you wouldn't do/say if they lived right next door and could come over and punch you in the face. This kinda goes in with respect, but really, this is the Internet. Things need to be emphasized and repeated.
10. No playing your character until it has been accepted by a staff member.
11. No mocking any religion, political group, race, gender, or sexuality at any time out of character. Characters, being fictional beings, can mock other religions/groups/genders/sexes. You cannot. Remember: respect.
12. No advertising anywhere except the advertising board, or your profile, or your signature.
13. No stealing the forum. We don't care how much you love this forum. We don't care how many hours you put into it. You do not own this forum. You do own your posts, your characters, and various pieces of art that you decide to display. Not the forum you placed them on.
14. If you give a gift to the forum, such as making a guide, or a set of smilies, it becomes the property of the forum. Should you later decide to quit or are banned, the forum still has the option to use these gifts. When you give a gift to your grandmother you cannot decide just to take it back when you get sick of her, and you cannot just take back gifts to us.
15. No spamming In Character Boards. No Spam at all, really, but especially in character.
16. Remember the difference between In Character and Out of Character. Place OOC Topics in OOC Boards, IC Topics in IC Boards.
17. Characters are characters. Players are not the character. If two characters get into a fight, it does not necessarily mean that the players must get into a fight as well.
18. No plagiarism. Do not take a bio from another forum, place it here, and claim that you made it. And ESPECIALLY don't take a bio from here that someone else made, post it here, and claim it as your own -- that's just stupid. You will be mocked mercilessly.
19. Keep all interactions, In Character or Out of Character, PG-13.
20. Have fun!
Rules of the Game:
1. No Powerplaying or Godmodding. This essentially means that you cannot control another person's character or have anything happen to anyone else's character without the other player's permission - this includes everything from poking another character to blowing them to bits. This also means that your character cannot be invincible, and, if gets into a battle, could very well get hurt. Play fair.
2. A character can only be in one thread at a time. NO breaking the space time continuum.
3. As stated above, no playing your character until it was accepted by a staffer.
4. When posting in a Roleplay Board, post in character. Keep OOC notes to a minimum -- keep large OOC Discussions in the OOC Boards.
5. If there is an issue, contact a staffer. If there is an issue with a staffer, contact a different staffer.
6. Use complete, proper sentences with minimal spelling mistakes and grammatical errors.
7. No character may have visions/conversations/contact with He Who Walks Behind the Rows without the explicit permission of a staff member. This is because that the Corn Demon is integral to the plot, and his behavior can affect every player on the forum. Only staff may RP HWWBTR.
8. Characters with gifts, such as 'The Sight' like Sarah, cannot use these gifts unless it only relates to their own character or have been requested to by a staff. This essentially means that Sarah being played here would not be able to draw Vicky being strung up and hanged on a cross as a prediction. This is because it would directly affect other characters, and limits role playing.
