Nobody enjoys reading the long list of rules when they first join a site, but it's still imperative that it's done so that you can understand my expectations for you.
1. ALL rules must be followed. This is not just limited to my rules on this list. This also includes the rules that Proboards have put in placed as well as any special rules for specific boards. All rules are to be followed and anyone caught breaking them will be punished.
2. Rules can be modified, added or taken away at anytime. These rules are not set in stone and if I must I will add, modify or take away rules. You are responsible for knowing these rules and within a week of a new rule being added you are to understand and follow the new addition. Whenever rules are modified or are in considerations to do so a pm will be sent out.
3. Respect all members. Rude, disrespectful behavior directed towards any member for any reason in unacceptable, especially if it comes up in the fourms. You are aloud not to like every member on the site, but you must show at least a degree of respect towards them. This means if you have a dispute with another member please take it to private messages, and if you need assistance in settling a matter please contact me or another administrator and we will work together to resolve the conflict.
4. Don't swear every other word. I'm going to be nice and allow cussing, just as long as you don't abuse the privilege. I believe that we should all be adult enough not to abuse this.
5. This forum is rated T for teen. That means that there could be some things that make you feel uncomfortable if you're younger than 13 or if you are opposed to more adult things. If this is the case please don't join because you're only making yourself feel uncomfortable. I also require that every user use discretion and keep this rating in mind. I don't want anything adult here, period.
6. If anyone at any time is breaking rules then please notify an administrator. I am extremely fair. I want to know if someone is breaking a rule, being unfair, or just acting like a hindrance to the forum. I will take the proper steps from there. Don't worry about who is breaking the rules, even if it's an administrator. I want this site to be as fair as possible.
7. Remember, I am here for whatever you may need. If there is anything that you need help for do not hesitate to contact me. It can involve a question on forum policies, a discrepancy on rule enforcement, or problems with another member. You may need help or an opinion on character creation, plot, motives, whatever. It can even be something that has no baring to the forum whatsoever. Maybe you need homework help? I don't care. I want to keep my members happy so I will do what I can, and everything you tell me is one hundred percent confidential.
8. A word on activity. I will never ask you to be online every single day without fail [because honestly, I can't even make that commitment at the moment], but I do expect something from you. I would like for you to be on at least once a week and post something. I would of course the more active you are the better. However, if a member is inactive for a three week time period without letting an administrator know, a warning email will be sent out and after another week their account will be deleted and their characters either put up for adoption or killed off.
9. Don't forget to have fun. Because really, what's the point in joining a forum if you don't find any enjoyment from it?
