- Please be kind enough to follow the rules. This includes all that is listed in this topic, as well as showing respect to not just staff, but fellow members alike.
- Respect people for who they are. Discrimination will not be tolerated, please show respect for those who believe in different things, or do things differently from most people.
- Advertising is strictly prohibited outside designated areas. Please remember not to advertise your forums outside of the Advertisement boards.
- Be original! Please do not copy, or plagiarize other peoples works. This is an offense punishable by banning if you are caught in the act. If you want to use something that’s not yours, it really doesn’t hurt to ASK first!
- While the Staff's rulings are to be followed, The Staff are humans too, and we all make mistakes, and we should all be responsible with the power entrusted to us. If you see a staff member abusing power, be it Mod or Admin, please report them so proper actions can be taken.
- One account per person, if you are found having more than one account, you will be given a warning, and the second account will be deleted
- The forum rules also apply to the Cbox. Please remember to show the same respect there as you would here on the forum.
- For the cbox, you must use the same name as your profile name, this is just to prevent constant confusion and other problems that have been happening.
- No small text allowed. Do not use text smaller than the default font (Thread default is 2)
- There will be no power-playing or god-modding. Do so and you will get a severe warning and may even get banned off the site for some time. This means having a character that is perfect, 'invincible' and mighty strong. And controlling other player's characters.
- There is no site-wide word count, but instead the Minimum Word Count will be declared upon creating a thread. If you have someone in mind to join you in a new thread, it will be required that all players agree to the set minimum word count for that thread. You should not participate in a thread if you do not think you can keep up with the predetermined word count, nor in a thread you believe the low word count will bother you.
- No double posting please, if you have double posted simply delete the duplicate, not too hard.
- Please use proper English, no chat speak will be tolerated. Proper grammar is needed as well, make sure you check over your posts for spelling mistakes.
- Be tasteful when approaching subjects that are mature, such as violence or intimacy. Respect that others have different comfort zones. Also try to keep things PG13 due to the TOS of ProBoards. If you want to RP the other stuff take it to IM or Email.
- Don't harass other members to post in your thread just because you're bored. RPing takes time, so treat people and their muses respectfully.
- All posts must be in the default font. Size 1 or 0 are banned, they are too harsh on the eyes and I think looks rather tacky.
- There is a color code in effect, be considerate of other player's eyes and remember that they may have different backgrounds than the one you are using. I will add colors to the ban list below.
(none yet, but I know they are out there!!)
- All images within posts must not exceed 600 Pixels in width
- Signatures must not any bigger than 500x200 or it will be removed and you will get a warning for not complying to rules that you should have read. Also there is a limit of one per account. If you want more than one up at a time then find a random generating code or.
- Please have tasteful images, anything pornographic will be deleted and you will get a warning PM.
- Hot linking an image is an offense, don't use other people's bandwidth.
- When making a profile you need to put the codeword 'Arkisan' if this is not in there then you profile will be rejected. So make sure you check back because the codeword will be updated regularly. It must be in every single profile, even if you're a regular member.
- Be Patient, staff are busy, please don't send more than one PM to me or any of the admin telling us that your profile is ready. This goes with updates to a profile as well.
- You can have up to seven characters, which means you can have 6 other characters beside your original one. Each of your profiles need to be just as detailed as your main character.
- NPC's are non playing characters, and they are characters that can be summoned for a short period of time to RP with a character. They are allowed but they are only allowed for a short period of time. If they are a reoccurring thing then they need to have a character sheet.
- Your bio must be posted within the first week of joining. That means you have 7 days to write and post your bio before getting a warning. You then have an additional week to post your first character's profile before being deleted.
Don't Forget,
Have fun. If you aren't having fun, you may as well call it work. If it was work you'd get payed for it. If you were getting payed for it I'd be broke. If I'm broke then I'm not having fun... (No matter how much you aren't having fun, you won't be payed. No exceptions.)
All of these rules are subject to change at any given time. Hopefully you took the time to read them carefully. Enjoy your time here
