RULES
•• Please respect the golden rule first of all. I want everyone to feel welcome on this site whether they are a member or merely a lurker. I don't want to hear that anyone is being left out or is feeling unwelcome on purpose. Just be nice, k?
•• I would appreciate it if everyone could do their best to stay active. I understand that the real-world gets in the way so if you are having issues getting on, then please let us know in the departures board.
•• Be informed about what's going on. If you ever feel like you missed something important and can't figure out where to find info on it, feel free to shoot me a pm and I'll try to get you straightened out. Also, try to read everything in this board before creating a character.
•• Please do not spam up the forum. I am, honestly, a nazi about these things and when you spam, I get stressed. Examples of spamming are: double posting, posts with 3 or less words, complete caps post, lots of punctuation, and lots of smileys. Pretty much, stupid, pointless, annoying messages.
•• I shouldn't have to say this, but please do not complain and bitch at me or any of the other admins. It does nothing but get us angry at you. This hasn't happened a lot but here's the rule of thumb: if you bitch we bitch. Sorry for the language but that's how it is. instead, just make a topic in the ideas and feedback board.
•• Cursing is allowed now. It previously wasn't but we've all matured and can handle it. I allow it only if you don't take it overboard. If you cuss way too much (every post you make consisting of 5 or more cuss words) then I will not hesitate to censor the site again and enforce no cussing. I cuss, you probably have cussed, so why not allow it here?
•• Lastly, have fun. That's what this site is intended for. If you want to mope around and be sad, or be angry, or anything, fine by me. Just don't take it here, because we have had enough.
Also, I want to shed some light on the Report feature. Now, I'm sure you think it's a bad thing, and reporting is snitching on your friends and all. It most certainly is not, though! If you report something, a moderator or admin will simply point out the mistake, edit if necessary, and move on.
However, in the event that the rule-breaking is severe, you may be warned/banned.
