1. Spelling and Grammar. I really don’t want to have to be too strict on this, but having to decipher posts. For goodness sake people, use COMMAS, FULL STOPS and QUOTATION MARKS. DON’T simply put speech in bold, PUNCTUATE PROPERLY for goodness sake. We’re not a bunch of idiots, and we don’t want to seem like a bunch of idiots. If you have trouble with spelling and grammar, use a spellchecker. Spell-check.net is a good one. Don’t be lazy. A few typos are fine, everyone makes them, but too many is just stupid. 2. PLEASE type in proper, understandable, English. If, In-Character, you absolutely MUST use a different language, make sure you have an English translation. Netspeak, chatspeak, l33tspeak, or any other speak will NOT be tolerated. Netspeak and chatspeak is just plain laziness on a forum, especially an RP one. I can understand in a chat room, but on a forum. And as for l33tspeak: how many people can actually read it easily? I can’t, and to decipher it is a waste of time. So just type in PLAIN ENGLISH. 3. Word count is one hundred and fifty (150) MINIMUM. I’m not fond of minimum word counts, but on previous sites I have not imposed one and the site has become flooded with one-liners. I really hate one-liners, so I’m imposing a minimum count. Honestly, 150 words isn’t even that much. It’s not that hard. I had a three hundred(300) word story to write once. By the time I was finished I had rushed the story through and it was still nearly three and a half thousand(3,500) words long. So 150 shouldn’t be that hard. 4. The Rating for this RP is PG-13 to MA 15+. I’m not overly fussed if it goes over, but please warn people if it seems like it’s going to. Not everyone wants to read all sex and gore. Besides, sexual encounters are against the Invisionfree Terms of Service. Seriously, doesn’t anyone read? Anyway, keep it to the correct rating. Any threads in violation of this rule will be deleted immediately.
