 The Rules
« Thread Started on Sept 8, 2007, 7:36pm »

1.) When making characters, please start out slowly. Do NOT go make 5 or 6 characters, because most likely they will fall inactive. Start out with one, work your way up to another. We want an active site, not a inactive one.

2.) Please supply a signature image for your character(s). Just remember: your signature image(s) MUST NOT stretch the page. If they do, you will be asked to resize them. Image may be no more then: 520 x 520. [For example, 520 width x 520 height would be in violation] Also it must be of a human, we do NOT allow anime or anything of that sort.

3.) When you are in a role-play situation, please try to remain literate. One-liners are NOT acceptable and never will be. Any person, if given the opportunity, can write up an intelligible reply or thread starter. As a guideline, try to make it to six sentences in each paragraph. I require that EVERY post you make be at least 3 paragraphs long every time . Come on people, it’s not that hard. Trust me, I, or any other site staff will check. If we can do it, you can too. This is a literate site!

4.) Try to remember that with us being on ProBoards, we’re very limited in the type of content we can have featured. Posts should not contain content that is not suitable for children under the age of 13 (if you’re that young, go away: you shouldn’t be here). If this were a movie, the rating would be PG-13. If you are going to have a thread that people under the age of 13 shouldn't see add [R] in the title of the board.

5.) Drama is okay, just don’t make an event into a huge ordeal. If little Jimmy’s mother dies, then she dies. If some chick gets pregnant, she gets pregnant. If a dude gets AIDs, he gets AIDs. Don’t make a mountain out of a mole hill.

6.) REMAIN ACTIVE! This site CANNOT function without an active member base. It’s understandable if you’re not on all of the time. I mean, we do all have a life away from the computer, but come on, it’s not that hard to check it every couple of days or so. Characters that are inactive for a month will be deleted.

7.) We are a magic school. We allow only wizard and witches. On occasion we will allow vampires, werewolves, veelas, etc. But we will not go over board with them.

8.) Once you have been approved, you are free to role-play and develop your character. Do NOT roleplay until you are approved. You may play games, claim your celeb, and such things. Just NOT roleplaying.

9.) Follow the normal role-playing rules. No godmodding, or whatever it goes by nowadays. You’re not God, nor will you ever be, so you can’t possibly know the actions, thoughts, and speak of the person you’re role-playing with. [[ See Roleplaying Guidelines ]]

10.) You must be in the third person when in a role-play situation. Don’t know what that is? Take a look at Google, it’s not hard.

11.) Remember that you are playing as a FICTIONAL character. It is VERY easy to get the life of your character mixed up with your own personal life. Don’t develop your character to be similar to your own living persona, develop a character with all of that emotional drive and pent up energy sitting inside of you.

12.) This is THE MOST IMPORTANT rule! To ease confusion, people who are playing more than one character MUST CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT FOR EACH CHARACTER! It’s easier for all that way. UNLESS you play someone such as twins and such. I will allow on the same account. Any questions please PM me.
