For Starters -->Before registering you should know that this is an advanced site. We expect all players to be at least average writers, if not more. And the rating of the site is M, meaning it is a mature rated site. There will be mature topics discussed. So please do not join if you find them offensive.
--> You should also know that the admins require some respect. Do not bitch at us. Do not complain at us. Do not whine at us. Do not argue with us. We are not trying to be tyrants, we really aren't. But we do feel that starting an argument is disrespectful. Thanks. Registration -->When registering you must register with a first middle and last name, in all caps case letters with a period at the end. For example: EDWARD ANTHONY CULLEN. . We do not want to see LittleCherryGurl, or anything of the sort. If you register with a name like this you will be deleted.
-->Before joining be sure to read the rules, and plot thoroughly to be sure that this is the kind of site you would like to join. Also be sure the character, or playby you are joining as isn't already taken. We do not want someone who registers, and then never returns.
-->We are currently only accepting canons, because there are like a million and one...not really, but you get the picture.
-->Also, variety is the spice of life. As such I don't want to see one person with four nomads members, and another with four Royals. No, you should have a shade, a pirate, a royal, or something along those lines. Either way, you get the picture.
-->You can have a maximum of six characters. But two must be male. Again we are trying to keep the number of males, and females pretty close to equal. The exception to the rule is someone who wants more males than females. That would be alright as sites very often lack males. In fact I'd love you if you did that. And may even reward you. Accepting -->Before your application is completed, and accepted do not post anywhere other than in the application forum. It just makes life easier for everyone. Because if you do post somewhere, and then are not accepted the admins have to go back through, and delete all your posts. It just gets to be a pain, so the bottom line is DON'T do it.
-->You are free to post an unfinished application. But after a week your application will be moved to the dead thread, your account deleted, and your character put back up for grabs. And we're not kidding about this. You can reapply, and ask for you application to be moved back at any time.
-->If you register, but do not post an application after a week your account will be deleted. Nothing makes people more annoyed than someone who takes the canon name on the member list, and never puts up an application while hogging the name.
-->We do reservations, but the max any character will be reserved for is three days. No exceptions. So please get you apps up in a timely manner, thanks.
--> If you don't sign up to reserve your character bear in mind someone can compete you for it. If that happens, I get to pick who wins, and that's just it.
-->Paragraphs, when we say paragraphs we mean at least eight sentences, preferably ten because I'm evil. Really these two sentence paragraphs are elementary, and annoying. This is an advanced site don't downgrade it. The administration team has put forth too much work for that to happen. Anyways we expect two paragraphs a post please. No I take that back, not please, they have to be two paragraphs. I realize one day you may be lacking muse, but two paragraphs is not a lot to ask.
-->DO NOT, and I repeat DO NOT plagiarize your application. Stealing someone else's hard work is not only asinine, it is illegal. So just don't do it. And if we catch you doing it we will ban your ip address, and you will not be able to return to our board.
-->We run on the two strikes your out rule. Some sites don't even give you the chance to fix your application, but lucky for you we do. Our only rule is when we ask you to fix something you do. You have two tries to fix it to what we consider adequate, and then you are denied. This means I should only have to tell you what's wrong with it twice
-->We reserve the right to deny any application we don't think fits the site, and our qualifications. Yes, it sucks, but that's life. And yes we will try not to be admin nazis about it. But we can only be so nice, people. General Rules -->Once accepted you must post in the face claim, so that people know you are using that character and that play by. We don't want twelve people who look like Keira Knightley running around. Unless you are a twin you cannot use the same face claim as another character is using.
-->Play bys are not changeable unless you ask POLITELY and it is approve by both admins.
-->No scene kids, pretty please? They kind of scare me.
-->If I don't like your play by, I'll ask you to change them. I just have certain problems with particular play bys. It's nothing against you, it's completely my own prejudice. But this is my site.
-->The rating of this board is M for mature. That however does not mean we want raunchy sex scenes, or constant cursing. Yes we know, people have sex. But don't get pornographic on us. Thanks a lot.
-->We are an advanced site, so I want a minimum of four hundred words a post, almost every post. I know that sometimes you may have a block, or are just having a bad day. But I can write that much on a shitty day so so can you. Four hundred words, by the way is about eight sentences per paragraph, and two paragraphs, as I already said that's what we would be expecting. So please keep that in mind.
-->If you like who one character is don't steal their persona. It just irritates the hell out of people when they make a character, and then someone comes along and makes a mini-me. I've had it happen before, and trust me the mini-me's are never as good as the original. So just don't do it. And if you do do it, you will not be accepted, because it tends to irritate people especially your admins.
-->Although we love feed back. In fact we adore feed back good or bad because it will benefit the site, please don't be rude. If an admin asks you to fix something don't abuse them, or contradict them. They are an admin their word goes.
-->We all love cute couples, and best friends...well no really we don't. The world is not all puppy dog tails, and fluffy clouds. And as that is the case plot pages are not to be all sweet friendships, and loving relationships. No please spice it up a little darlings. You can do so much better than that I know it.
-->Please respect one another. Not only are our admins to be respected, but so are our members. I cannot tell you enough how it irritates admins when others abuse their members. So don't do it, or we'll have a firm talking to with you, and eventually you will be kicked out. Graphics -->Your signature can have anything in it except pornography. Trust me no one wants to see it. It's gross.
-->Your signatures cannot stretch the layout, or be higher than 300 pixels high. Generally a good size is 500x300.
-->The most 100x100 icons you can have in your sig is four.
-->For those big icons we'd prefer you only have a single row of them. So all the ones you plan to use should fit in a single row. And can only be as tall as 300 pixels
-->Please put nothing in your signature that may offend someone else. If you think it would hurt your feelings don't put it in there. This includes racial slurs. We will have none of that.
-->For those of you who are not graphically inclined there is a graphic forum where you can request some. And Finally... -->Have fun! And we are glad you chose to play at This Is Our Fate.
