rules

[ZARBEAR]

GENERAL!

1) Respect. Respect is a major thing on this site. Respect the admins, the members and the guests. If the admins find anyone being disrespectful then there will be consequences.

2) Listen to what the admins have to say. Don’t try and play us off against each other. If one says no then it’ll be because both of us agree.

3) Make sure you check the face claims before joining; that includes any reservations. You cannot use a celebrity if they are already in use. If you find that member has not been active in a month then please PM an admin.

4) If you are going away or are going to be less active for certain reason just let us know in the ‘Absence’ board so that we do not accidentally delete your account.

5) Have fun! This site was created so people could let their creativity loose.

ROLEPLAYING!

1) Please remember to fill in all the claims. You can’t complain if you don’t claim.

2) We would just like to remind members and potential members that this is a board with a PG-13 rating. So any funny business take it to PM's and IM's. Thank you. We're just keeping to proboards official rules.

3) Things should be written in third person, not in first.

e.g. Cadence was walking along the trees that made up the forest.

NOT – I was walking along the trees that made up the forest.

4) 50 word post as the minimum please. One liners are hard to respond and the threads become less interesting. If you are struggling think about the things such as smells and sounds to help make your post a little longer.

5) One character per account please. Even if they are twins. It makes things less confusing for everyone else.

6) We would like to say that there are four characters to each member. If you feel that you can cope with more, then please PM an admin and they will discuss this. We need to see that all your characters are active.

7) No mary sues or gary stues. We aren’t perfect and therefore characters should not be perfect. Everyone has their flaws so we would like to see them through your characters.

8) No god moding. Honestly it becomes rather annoying. If you are having a fight with another character then let him or her decide if they get punched. Not everything can work in your favour.

9) If your characters have unprotected sex then it will be up to the admins to decide whether or not the character is pregnant. Please PM an admin if your characters have unprotected sex.

10) No marriages below seventh years.

GRAPHICS!

1) No one is allowed to have cartoons or sketches as their play by. The admins request that you use model or well established people. No myspace people. Thank you.

2) Everyone will be required to have a 100x100 avatar on their profile.

3) You do not need to have a signature but if you do please make sure it does not stretch the board and that it contains no nudity.

4) Please make sure any other images you place on the site, including on the application, does not stretch the board. Thank you.

OOC!

1) No fighting! No one is to fight out of character. If you find you are having problems then PM an admin and we will attempt to sort it out.

2) Please do not post IC on OOC boards.
