Basic
1. Let's start with the obvious; be nice to other members. No fighting, flaming, etc. It's okay In Character, but not Out Of Character.
2. Be active. Don't just join to make characters. If you make a character, than use them.
3. No double posting. There's a modify button for a reason. Use it.
4. Also use spell check. It's also there for a reason.
5. Use English only in OOC. A bit of other languages are allow IC, but don't go over board with it.
6. According to Proboard TOS, you must be 13 or older to join and the forum must be kept at a PG-13 rating.
7. The only place you're allow to advertise is the Advertising Board, no where else. If I hear about you advertising anywhere else, you'll be ban.
Role Playing
1. There is no word count. However, this doesn't mean you can only post ten words. Try for at least five good sentences.
2. Deaths and pregnancies must be approved by an admin, preferably Angelica. People can't be dying and having babies left and right. In normal towns that doesn't happen.
3. No god modding, plain and simple. If you don't know what god modding is, it's when you control someone else character. Don't do it.
4. Also, no power modding. That is when your character is too powerful and doesn't ever get hurt.
Ex: Your character is in a fight and doesn't once get hit.
5. Only role play in third person, and past tense.
6. So we don't go overboard with the number of threads, instead of making a new thread every time you want to RP, try replying to an RP thread that has no reply yet. This isn't a must, more of a suggestion.
7. Please keep the ratios in mind. I wouldn't say you have to have a 2:1 ratio (through that would be nice), just keep the ratios in mind when making a character.
8. If there's ten more characters of one gender, then there will be a ban on that gender. For example, if there's 50 females, but only 38 males, there will be a ban on females until we get at least ten more males.
9. When you start a thread, put "Open" in the title if you don't care who joins that thread. If you do care who joins the thread, put the character(s) name(s) in the title. Like so;
Walking in the park (Mary and Lacey)
Other
1. You MUST have an avatar and/or a signature. People like to see who they're RPing with. Make sure there's NO nudity in any pictures. Avatars and signatures will resize themselves, so don't worry about that.
2. Use only real people, no anime. However, there's a ban on certain faces, it includes Zoe Kimball, Lara Jade, Frieda Rose, Lauren Peralta, TwiggX, Alice Cheynet, Cameron Ugh. Read here to find out more.
3. Make an application and wait for it to be accepted before doing anything, RPing, making claims, etc. The ONLY time you can make a claim before making your application is if you're reserving a celeb you wish to RP with. Also make your claims before RPing.
4. Sign up with any name you want, though when setting up your profile, change it to first last, in first letter caps and rest lower case. For example: Kari Winters. This makes things all neat and tidy. You can add a middle name if you want, but you don't have to.
5. Multiple characters are allowed, but only one per account. Your first three characters are free. After that, all three characters must have at least five in character posts before making a fourth. For a fifth character, you're first three characters must have ten in character posts while your fourth must have five in character posts. And so on so forth. This is to make sure people don't just join to make characters.
