Don’t godmod – The golden rule of any RP. You should not be responsible for the actions of any other player's character. Because of the freedom we allow in our storylines here, you can control any NPCs that have been brought in by yourselves, but don’t start controlling other characters in your posts. This also extends to declaring hits or successful attacks on characters played by someone else.
Don’t metagame – The ever-present companion to the first rule. Discussion between players is fine, but you shouldn’t introduce any OOC knowledge into your IC posts unless the character has a reason to know it. This also includes internal monologues that the other character might have done, that you read, but your character didn’t hear.
Respect - Respect the staff and respect the members. This shouldn't even have to be said, but it should be noted that any flaming, bullying, harassment or anything else of the sort will result in a warning. This applies to ALL members, including staff. Respect is important to maintaining a positive and easygoing environment. This rule is handled on a case-by-case basis and is not absolute, but you definitely need to show respect to those of equal, higher or lower authority no matter what quarrels you might have with them.
Use Common Sense - There are a number of things which aren't explicitly stated here, but really, it's just common sense. Don't spam topics that aren't meant to be spam; don't be racist, any of that stuff; be reasonable.
Harassment - I think this is an understood rule. Watch your words. Remember that some things you say, even if it’s meant as a joke, can hurt people. And if someone kindly tells you to stop, just stop. Carrying it on will only result in getting punished.
Loopholes - It's human nature. We just love to find ways to abuse rules (or lack thereof), don’t we? Well, please refrain from doing that here. If you find a loophole, bring it to the attention of staff instead of abusing it. We are a new site and we are just starting out. So there could be places uncovered by us. If a loophole is found and used then you will be warned and if you continue it may result in a higher warning, or even in extreme cases a temp ban. When a situation like this arises, a moderator or administrator will always have the final say and will handle it on a case-by-case basis.
Proboards and Chatango/Cbox Terms of Service - Just remember that there are rules that apply to all sites on these hosts, such as no NSFW content, no rape discussion, ect. You can find the link to the proboards terms of service at the bottom of the page, and if you go to Chatango.com/Cbox.com you can find their terms of Service as well.
Positive - Just going along with the respect, common sense and harassment rules, we try to keep this place as positive as we can. Roleplaying is supposed to be fun, and everyone should at least attempt to be friendly with others. If you don't like someone, you don't need to be nice to them. But that doesn't mean it's okay to single them out or go after them with insults or start causing problems for no reason. TL;DR Keep it positive people.
Accounts - For this site you have multiple characters on one account. You also use the same account for any NPCs you may need within a thread as long as the NPC isn't breaking any rules like Don’t godmod or Don't Metagame. The maxium amount of characters you can have is 8 so be careful when creating them.
