RULES .

[ryland cullen]

respect
this is common sense, people. don't be a jerk to other members on the site, it's tacky, rude, and we'll deal with you accordingly. be nice to everyone, treat others the way you want to be treated, we learned it in kindergarten, it's not that difficult and it's not asking much.

registering
as juvenile as this sounds, please make your usernames the name of your character. first, middle, and last name. as well as in lowercase, nothing like jamieboi1211, or sexkitten69, please, none of that or you will be getting a word from us. your character's name and nothing else, please.

character limit
this is a big deal, seeing as how sometimes people take on more characters than they can keep track of. i have been guilty of this myself, and its just no good. we ask that we keep it 6 characters a person. that's still a relatively large number, but lets keep to that many.

signatures and avatars
the signature rule has been an issue in the past for being too large and stretching the hell out of the boards. we ask that you keep it to about 500x350 at the most. that doesn't mean that everyone make sigs that big, but that is the largest we'll allow before saying something to you. as for your avatars, we require them to be 100x100, no more no less. you'll see that the admin accounts don't have them, and have 100x150 avatars, that's because they are admin and we can have those. if that sounds snooty, i'm sorry.

site rating
this is a mature roleplaying site. that means sex, drugs, murder, death, and anything you can think of is allowed within reason of course. if you are going to have sex, or do drugs, or anything of graphic nature, we ask you to please state that in your thread title. please R or NC-17 so that the most sensitive members can steer clear. this is your warning now, we will ignore complaints about sexual content unless the issue is no warning in the title.

literacy
sadly, this has been an issue in the past. people don't use spell check and post very bad posts. please proofread your posts to some extent, so it's not just a jumbled mess when someone is trying to roleplay with you. we would like to keep it literate here and we'd appreciate your cooperation with this.

activity
activity, activity, activity! without activity, a site cannot run and if the site can't run, the site doesn't exist ultimately. don't join and then leave, it's a waste of time and a waste of our time. so at least make a post once every 5 days or so. we will be asking for threads when we do activity checks, so you better be posting people. if you are going to be away for a certain amount of time, let us know. there is an absence board for this, so we don't end up deleting you. it's there for a reason people, use it.

relationships
if you wish to be involved with another member's character, you must pm them to ask first. don't barge in on them and just assume it's okay with them. if you want to be a sibling, current love interest, anything that they didn't ask for first, please pm them so you can ask for permission. we don't want to get complaints from members if you are being ridiculously overbearing. it's not far and we reserve the right to kick you to the curb.

word count
i cannot stress this rule the most. people ignore it, even if they've said they have read the rules. this is one of the most important rules of the site. the site's word count for roleplay posts is 300 words. is that so hard? it's not hard all and we ask that you count your words to make sure. if we find out that you aren't doing this, we will enable a code that forces you to write out your posts this long or the post button will not work. i don't want to have to do that, but if you don't follow the word count, i will be forced to take action.

listen up...
no spamming, or we will hunt you down. please be respectful to the other members, we put the c-box there for a reason. cursing is allowed, but don't do it so much that people start to complain about your behavior. please don't complain too much, because it's irritating and we really don't want to hear about how your boyfriend cheated on you, if you have to take to another member about this, pm them, we beg you. if you don't listen, we reserve the right to ban you from the c-box, so just chill out.
