Create an account before posting your application. DO NOT JOIN IF YOU DON'T PLAN ON BEING ACTIVE
1 Literate -- First and foremost, being literate is key. Not to be rude, but this site is aimed to be literate or at least semi. Please do your best to type in correct sentence structure and use proper grammar. [nodnod] No posts under four-hundred words, unless on an INSTANT MESSENGER BOARD, or one like it.
Speaking of INSTANT MESSENGER BOARDS, do not - I REPEAT, DO NOT - create a plethora of such. Sure, a chat play is fine, but we want to actually role-play, right?
2 Godmoding -- DON’T play another character if it isn’t yours! You will get one warning if you do, and any more will result in your suspension from the site.
3 Proper Grammar/Spelling -- Chat language (also known as chat-speak) is not tolerated! Out of character is what the OOC Boards are for. The only place where chat language is allowed is the IM board. Chat language example: hay wut u doin 4 grad?
4 Mary Sue’s (and male equivalent) -- No perfect character’s, please. Nobody’s perfect. This also applies to emos. Not everybody gets to be emo. Please have variety.
- You may have up to 5 (five) characters at a time. Please pm me for permission, so I know who is who. Please, create different accounts for each character, unless they're twins or such. If you don't pm me, and I find out, believe me, you will be facing a very unpleasant Tera. And please don’t make all girls. We can't have 2 boys and 4,000 girlies. Be active on them all! Don’t forget that you have them!
5 Stay as active as you can! This is very important. If you will be gone for an extended period time, post it up so that you won’t be deleted. Members not on for at least 1 month will be deleted.
6 Inactive Characters -- The applications of inactive original characters will be moved to the 'graveyard'. If you wish to have your application back out of the graveyard if you were an original character, pm admin to get it moved. Post 'Audrey Hepburn' at the bottom of your application. If you are inactive again after that, your application will be deleted.
7 Inactive topics will be moved to an invisible forum for safe keeping. A topic that constitutes as inactive is one that hasn't been replied to for more than five days. If you come back and your topic wasn’t finished please PM a mod to have it moved out of the thread graveyard.
8 Character Application -- Must apply for your character before you do anything else. Please wait until you’ve been accepted and placed in the accepted characters forum before role-playing.
9 Be as descriptive as possible. And please, be original. We don’t need two (or more) duplicate characters running around with different usernames. Please abide by this rule! [See Mary sue (and male equivalent) rule ^^^]
10 Swearing -- You are allowed to swear, by all means. But please, please, please, PLEASE. Do not overdo it, it will result in a warning. Three (3) warnings equals suspension from the site.
11 Pictures for avatars and signatures -- I have found that if you are in need of pictures for your character, use pictures of celebrities. But don't credit them saying that you took (snapped) the picture, unless you are personal friends with the celebrity, and actually took the picture with your own camera, you don't own the picture.
Also, the maximum size for avatars is 100x100. No 150x150.
And no making signatures that stretch the board out. They make the board look ugly. Kaythx.
- HIGH SCHOOL Year // Grades -- Since some people get confused, here are the grades/years and what age your character would be unless otherwise stated (example: being held back.):
14: Freshman 15: Sophomore 16: Junior 17: Senior 18: Senior
12 Relationships -- Relationships are allowed. You can have a relationship with another character as long as you don’t force yourself into them. This site is rated PG-13 to MA, so please, if you know that it's going to be something of a higher level (example, R), then please pm an admin for your board to be moved to the mature forum. I don't think anybody would thank you if they all of a sudden walked into your thread and BAM! rated R stuff and they didn't know it. Yeah, it's quite overtaking, hehe.
13 The cbox -- Please, please, PLEASE do not spend all of your time talking in the cbox. Do not spam, advertise or ARGUE in the chat box. Doing any of the above will result in cbox ban or termination. Please keep that in mind.
14 And please, don’t do anything that would result in getting this site canned. Much thanks, and enjoy yourselves! Rules are subject to change. If you have suggestions, write them here! Happy role-playing!
Tera
