OH NOOOOO! D: RULEEESS![/u]
Yes.
Rules.
But no need to fear! :D I hate writing rules, so let's just write out a few and amend them as we find out how stupid some people can be, okay? But that won't be you, will it? Yeah, I bet not, since you're actually intelligent enough to take the time to come read this. And no, there is no password or secret code in here. Those are just a big pain in the butt for people who DO read this stuff because we have to worry about missing a word / phrase and remembering it too. Any idiot who doesn't read the rules deserves to suffer the consequences of breaking them C: More leniency will be given to the members who familiarize themselves with this little topic at least a little.
GENERAL:
- Please keep swearing to a minimum and censor whatever you absolutely MUST say. We want to stay at least sorta kid-friendly.
- No spam, except where designated.
- Nothing illegal plz. See, I happen to like this little roleplay site, and I'd be pretty ticked if something happened to make someone threaten to close it C: kthx. Besides, it's illegal for a reason.
- No porn. Just spare me. Go do that somewhere else.
- Be friendly to all members. Everyone was a n00b at some point, and even the big-headed long-time roleplayers can be helpful every now and again, so be respectful. Staff, don't be quick to swing your banhammers. I've seen more than one site that potential members were afraid to join, simply because some admin(s) took it upon themselves to ban everyone for everything.
- No theft or plagiarism.
- Speak ENGLISH, for God's sake. A little bit of lolspeak and chatspeak here and there is okay, but don't overdo it.
- Make sure to reply to activity checks!
ROLEPLAYING:[/u]
- No Godmodding / Powerplaying. If it's not your character, you can't make it do anything, and if it is your character, it's not invincible.
- In battle, you may dodge one regular attack and some attacks that require time to launch or have low accuracy. Please don't abuse this. If your Pokemon has heightened evasiveness, they may dodge once or twice more for every stage they acquire. Again, please don't abuse this. Keep it fair and simple or we're gonna have to get complicated and mathematical. You don't wanna see the kinds of formulas I can create.
- You may have your character in as many topics as you like as long as you can keep up with them.
- Post the status of your thread (open, closed, restricted to:, etc.) in the title.
CHARACTER:[/u]
- For a Pokemon hybrid, Egg Groups must be compatible.
- You can have as many characters as you like, as long as you can keep up with them.
- More is listed in the character creation sheet.
ADVERTISEMENT:[/u]
- Save it for the ads/affiliates board. Posting a little something in your signature is okay, but don't overwhelm us and don't put it anywhere but those two places.
IMAGES:[/u]
- If it's going to scar our minds, give us fair warning. Or just don't post it.
- Don't stretch the board, yo.
- Use where necessary. It's fine OOC or in a bio, but don't just flood us with random pictures in your RP posts, okay?
SHOUTBOX:[/u]
- No impersonation
- No flooding
- No advertising
- All general rules apply
See? That wasn't so bad. C:[/blockquote]
