Rules:

!!!DUE TO MATURE CONTENT ON SITE, MEMBERS MUST BE 17+ TO JOIN!!!

1.Registering:
1.1 Please register with a first and last name. Example: Jane Smith, doing something like ILUVPIE!!<3 does not work; so please do it right the first time.
1.2 Remember, in order to join, you have to be over 13 years of age. If we do find out that you are younger we will remove your account and ban your IP address. Sorry, but it's not only our rule, but also an Invision Free rule.
1.3 Please do not register then "forget" to make an application; we will find out and we will deal with you properly.
1.4 If you are planning on making a character then leaving without posting, you might as well leave right now and save us all the trouble. It is a waste of both your time and ours.

2. Applications
2.1 Please make your application within two weeks of registering; we are going to be trying to keep this site as clean as possible.
2.2 When you are accepted your application will be moved to the accepted section. We will PM you to let you know that you are accepted.
2.3 When filling out the application, please do not use one word or one line answers for things that may require something along the lines of three paragraphs.
2.4 NO MARY-STUS or GARY STUS. No one is perfect and all characters have some sort of flaw. No one likes them. Please look it up if you don't know what it means.
2.5 Do not post an incomplete application; you will be notified and the application removed and you will have to do it again. Sorry.
2.6 You cannot be both Vampire and Human at the same time. You get to be one or the other. This isn't Twilight.
2.7 Please post your application like so: Surname, Given name.

3. Advertisement
3.1 If you would like to advertise, please go to the proper section and post it there.

3.2 Please do not put links to your site in your sig; that is not acceptable without mod permission.
3.3 Do not sign up for an account just to advertise; we will remove not only your account but your post as well.

4. C-Box
4.1 Now, this is just basic manners. In rping, do not harass other members. Be polite and courteous. Swearing is allowed, but don't go overboard as though you are a six year old who just figured out bad words.

5. Roleplaying
5.1 Do not roleplay in first person; this is not only confusing but after a while it can become annoying for not only you but whomever you are rping with.
5.2 This is a R rated site; moderate swearing is allowed, but if every other word out of your characters mouth is a swear, then you will be warned. If you continue, you will be banned.

5.3 No God-modding. Don't control other peoples characters. If this is seen, please notify an admin and we will deal with the person in the appropiate manner. It can also be called Meta-gaming or Power-playing. Do not do it.
5.4 This is a literate site, so please use proper grammar and spelling. Please post at least one paragraph per post. If someone does five paragraphs and you only do a sentence in return, something is wrong. When RPing try to keep it somewhat even.
5.5 If you are planning to get a character pregnant or are planning to kill them off, let an Admin know then wait for permission. You can't exactly kill of a main character then expect everything to go on hunky-dory. It doesn't work that way.
5.6 Put ((brackets like these for out of character)) It helps to identify the difference between your RPing and what you actually have to say.
5.7 Do not post sex, because of IF TOS this isn't allowed here. Simply fade to black or take it to PM. We don't care; just please, not on the boards.


6. Activity
6.1 Be active. Post at least once every three days. (That means actually posting in an active thread with your character.)
6.2 If you are planning on going away for a long period of time, let an Admin know and also inform whomever you are roleplaying with. It also wouldn't hurt to post in the going away thread.

7. General
7.1 So here are the general rules:
-be courteous to the other members
-try not to get the mods or admins pissed off
-spell check is everyone's friend, although some spelling and grammar errors will be allowed.
-don't harrass others
-don't double post in IC Rping areas, that's what the edit button is for.

8. Consequences
This is your warning system.
1- Strike one, a friendly and nice PM informing you of what you did wrong and what you can do to fix it. You will get this either for behavioral reasons or for ignoring past PM's about important issues.
2- Strike two, less friendly PM explaining to you what you did wrong and also informing you that this is your second warning and that you are expected to comply.
3. Third strike. You will get a blunt PM from an Admin telling you exactly what you are doing wrong and what you have to do to fix it in order stay.
4- Fourth strike. "Write your character's death." This is where you will get to write your characters death, and your character will be deleted from the site. You will be suspended for a amount of time decided by the admins. When the time is up, you may come back but you have to make a different character and we will be watching you.

5-Fifth strike. Congratulations, you're banned. Your characters will be deleted and your IP will be perma-banned.
