<center>#001. activity is a must!</center>
 
Here at A Song of Ice and Fire we stress activity as a must. If you take a canon, at least a post or two a week is a minimum requirement. If you go a week without a post a warning may be issued to you via pm and at two weeks you risk losing your canon and the Admins are well within their rights to unsort your character without warning. If you are going to be gone a while it is important that you post a leave of absence and your characters will be safe. This LOA must be posted in the Leave of Absence section. The C-Box is NOT the place for them. Also... please do not join if you are just going to join and lurk or chat or if you will just join and go MIA. We want people who will post and be around, to help keep the site flourishing and happy. 
**ADMIN ADDITION** 
When making additional characters, either canon or original, you must have at least five posts or be involved in an ongoing thread before doing so. This is to ensure activity and lots of plotting and posting.
 

<center>#002. register!</center>
 
when you register, we ask that you register with your name in the following format: First and Last Name all the correct casing [upper and lower]. if you forget, it's not a worry - just send a pm to an admin and we'll gladly fix it for you. it's just a lot easier on us if you register like this in the first place, to save us some work. You may also use titles such as Ser, Lord or Lady but it is not mandatory.. 

<center>#003. Plotting</center>
 
Plot pages and spamming plotters is not required but is STRONGLY encouraged. Pm and msn plotting is fine but plot pages help other people know what plots are going and off limits. 

<center>#004. respect!</center>
 
respect your staff, and your fellow members. we're serious when we say that disrespect, or bullying or any kind will not be tolerated. we don't want any drama here, so don't create it. if you fail to do this, you can be certain that there will be consequences, be it a warning, or you being banned. do not take this lightly, because we certainly don't. 

<center>#005. don't steal!</center>
 
it's just common sense. don't steal graphics - don't steal posts - don't steal applications. if you do, and claim it as your own, you will be sent a warning, and then banned, because we won't have any of that. if you do use someone elses graphics, then you must credit it. if you think that any of our members have stolen your work, then shoot any of the staff a pm and we'll try our best to sort it out for you! 

<center>#006. rated mature!</center>
 
we're not a porn site, but we're mature, so you can expect to see mature content on here. however! out of respect of the members, if you wish to create a sex thread, or anything or that sort, please make a note in the description , such as an M tag, so we can be prepared! but at the same time, don't go too far. we don't want to get in trouble for having anything inappropriate on here now, do we? if any of the staff think you've gone too far, you can expect a short pm in your direction as a warning. if it continues, further action will be taken. 

<center>#007. characters!</center>
 
we don't have a character limit, but we ask that you be sensible! if you want to create ten characters, fine, just make sure that you can keep them all active. it's a matter of knowing how much you can handle, so please keep that in mind. we don't want a million inactive characters running around - it just doesn't look good, you know? 

<center>#008. word count!</center>
 
we have a word count of 200. while we understand everyone can have off days, please try and stick to it. if you don't think you can, then maybe this site isn't for you. we're not going to go around policing this, but if you are consistently below, then we're going to do something about it. 

<center>#009. graphics!</center>
 
our rule for graphics is simple: don't let them stretch the page. if they do - an admin will remove them, because it doesn't look nice. also, keep them appropriate. if you're on this site, you should be mature enough to work this one out. 

<center>#010. have fun!</center>
 
this is perhaps the most important rule of all! we're here to roleplay, and to have fun - that's what it's all about! get to know your fellow roleplayers, because we're a friendly bunch. it's so awesome to have you here at sitenamehere! <3
