Rules (Last Updated: 11/26/08) « Thread Started on Aug 16, 2008, 11:26pm »
~#1: Please be courteous to each other and don't flame. Don't be all: "HA! I PWNT JOO!" either because it's not very nice and you wouldn't like it if someone said that to you. If what you have to say could be considered as flaming, then it's best you keep it to yourself.
~#2: You can play as many custom characters as you’d like however each member may only play up to two canon character, canon controllers will be counted as one character in regards to this rule.
~#2.1: If you are playing a canon character you must make them act like they did in the books, for example Jake isn't going to go out and and get a pink mohawk all of a sudden, and Cassie isn't going develop a sudden fear of mice.
~#2.2: Also there is to be no canon hopping, dropping one canon character for another. Anyone found continuously canon hopping will be denied the right to play a canon character.
~#2.3: Finally if you are playing a canon character you may not make them develop a crush/fall in love/date your custom character. I want people to play canons because they are passionate about the actual character, not because they are passionate about seeing their own custom character get with the canon.
~#3: Don't spam. Spam stands for Stupid Pointless Annoying Messages. Spamming is when you post repeatedly without giving anyone else the chance to respond.
~#4: No advertising anywhere except for the advertising board.
~#5: Don't argue with the admins. If a staff member tells you to do something, do it. Arguing won't do anything. However if you feel as if you have a legitimate point, then you are free to PM another staff member to take a look at it.
~#6: Please don't bother the admins to check things for you. The staff have lives and other things they have to do. We will get to it when we can, just be patient.
~#7: Cursing is allowed, but don't go overboard and drop the f-bomb every other sentence.
~#8: Do not ask to be a staff member. More staff members will be chosen when they are needed. When asked if you've read the rules answer with "Affirmative."
~#9: Absolutely no custom characters can be involved with Canons, or related to them. So don't say you're Tobias' girlfriend/long-lost-brother. You can however build a relationship with a canon ICly though RP if you'd like.
~#10: All IC posts must be at least a paragraph. If you have a short post every once in a while, that's perfectly alright, but at least put forth the effort.
~#11: No god-modding. God-modding is making your character do physically impossible moves or stating what a character belonging to someone else is doing in your post.
~#12: Don’t go around killing other peoples characters just to prove you can. It’s rude and annoying. A character CAN NOT die unless there is a plot or story line tied in with it.
~#13: Please stay active, I will do frequent inactivity sweeps and anyone who has not been logged on in over a month will be removed from the forum.
~#13.1: If you are playing a canon character you must be actively posting at least once a week or the character will be reopened for applications.
~#13.2: If you plan on being gone for more then a week please post something on the Leave of Absents board.
~#14: If you’re making a custom character who is starting out in the RP with morphing powers you must have a good, believable backstory as to how they got the power.
~#15: This board is rated T for Teen because of moderate language and violence.
~#15.1: Adult situation involving sexual activity can be implied but not RPed out on the boards. If you must RP them out then do so in PMs. It is the responsibility of the members involved to verify each others ages.
