THE RULES. yes, i know rules do suck, but we kinda need them to make sure we don't have anarchy - as sexy as the sex pistols made it sound in "anarchy in the uk". i promise that they'll be painless, so let's just get through them, okay? savvy. CHARACTERS & POSTING first things first. there are no limits on how many characters you can play, but we ask you to please make sure you can seriously handle them all, that they aren't all canons, and that you stay active with them all. we don't judge on being character whores so the more you can handle, awesome. our only "rule" that we are setting into stone - the others were more just ... guidelines - is that for every two girls you make at least one boy. we will be making sure of this, so please follow that simple rule. it's really not much. to register, please make sure that you have registered properly. if you mess up, just ask an admin to change your name for you and we'll be more than pleased to help because you've asked nicely. also, we do require an app to be filled out before you can start posting, so make sure that you finish that before you start making plots with existing characters (unless you are making your own character as part of a request). and my final note on registration, please make sure that both the face/canon you want is available, and that said face is not being requested for another character at the moment. it gets annoying when someone wants a certain face to be used for a requested character and then the face gets used - but having nothing to do with the original request. there are certain things that we frown upon in terms of posting. the first is obnoxiously short posts. we are a literate board (despite our lack of capitalizing), and we require at least 3-4 chunky paragraphs per post. or, at the very least, keeping up the pace of the person you are posting with. we also frown upon things like god-modding and perfect people. i don't care if you're roleplaying jesus christ, you're not perfect. okay?!? (-waits to be struck down by lightning-) no chatspeak, use proper punctuation/grammar/spelling (fine, if english isn't your first language ... you're excused to an extent), and no 'fortune-telling'. what's fortune-telling? when you as the player know what's going to happen in a plot and randomly throw in that your character knows - but in reality the character doesn't know. we don't like that, so please, just be cool. GRAPHICS & SIGS we all like graphics. they're the pretty stuff that decorates our characters and shows the world just how pretty our character faces are. but we've got a few rules about them. first is that you don't use images that are too large and that can stretch the board. second is that you check the face claim thread for both used faces and faces we are not allowing. yes, there are going to be faces that will be banned because of the fact that they would not fit into the board's mood, plot, or setting, but that is how it is. and if your favourite face is taken or not allowed, don't let that stop you from joining us! ask for help in the cbox and we will be more than happy to help you. i know that not everyone has a program as nifty as photoshop cs3, so we have a request forum for you to get graphics. asking for graphics in the cbox is a 'no no' and rather annoying, so we ask you to please post there and wait for a wonderful soul to take on your request. 'you got me hypnotized" and when someone does make your graphics, we ask that you please credit them in the interests part of your profile. another thing about graphics is that you do not hotlink. hotlinking is the same thing as stealing, and didn't your mother teach you that stealing is wrong? so don't do it or else ducky's brigade of pain will come after you. the best way to avoid ducky's brigade of pain? host the images in your own photo account - ie photobucket, tinypic, imageshack, etc. CONDUCT & MISC. this board is rated 'r'. yes, sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll happen, even when the nuns are on patrol. so if you have problems with it, let us know. and also do us a favour and put in a note as to when/if the thread you are in currently takes a turn for the worseporn. character deaths, pregnancies, rapes, drama is all welcome, but let's sort of monitor just all of the drama. like too many teen moms/dads wandering around or eight women who were raped as girls/teens? sorry, i know the odds of the likelihood actually exist, but i feel as if we can get a bit more ... creative with our drama. not that i'm being insensitive, but there's a ton of drama out there to be discovered. we as people demand respect. everyone does, and it doesn't matter if you're barack obama or lindsay lohan - you still deserve to be treated with respect. it is the key to making the world a better place and the most important rule to follow. respect means many things, but most importantly, things like: obeying wishes of other members, not using derogatory terms/inflammatory remarks, not constantly pestering/annoying other members/admins to reply to threads or check applications, etc. being annoying is not being respectful and will do nothing but piss the admins off and shove you to the bottom of our metaphorical pile. we all have lives too (unless you're ducky, who gets crippled and can't have a life), so we will get to whatever pressing matters you have as soon as we can. also, a part of respect is not being a snob. by that we mean only plotting with faces that your face claim has images with. please, create awesome new pairings. i know that my ultimate favourite pairings are faces that have nothing the same and are easily one of the more epic couples ever. so branch out. and no cussing out other members because they have a face you wanted. that's just childish and stupid. and finally, the most important rule of them all ... have fun! do it. these rules are the brainchild of DUCKY! of CAUTION 2.0 |
