DA RULES !
[/color][/b][/font]
Hey there! Yes, this is the rules, and yes, you need to read them. They're an important piece to making this a fun and safe place.
REGISTRATION ![/color][/b]
[/font]
Proboards is pretty cool, register with whatever name suits your fancy, then once you log in, go to 'profile', click on modify, and change your display name to your character's first and last name, first letters capitalized. Like Alex Rodgers, or Bailey Stewart. Please make separate accounts for every character. Yeah, sometimes it can be a pain switching between characters, but it keeps things organized and looking professional. Please post and wait for your application to be accepted before posting anywhere else. Reserving face claim is an exception. ALSO, we need to keep ratios even. Check out the 'School Info' in this category to see what we have, and check the news under the staff section to see any bans. As a general rule of thumb though, for every two girls make one boy.
RATING ![/color][/b][/font]
Try to keep it PG-13 and below. Minimize foul language. Not everyone wants to divulge into the whole drugs, sex, and alochol scene. Yes, it does happen with teenagers. We're not stupid. But please, please, go elsewhere if you want to roleplay mature themes. We don't want to see it here.
ROLEPLAY ![/color][/b][/font]
We are a no word count site, but that doesn't mean we'll let poor spelling and grammar slide by. Be appropriately literate. If you have more than one character, use the appropriate account while replying to a roleplay thread. Don't use chatspeak in roleplay threads, excluding personal communications such as twitter, texting, etc. If English is not your first language, please let us know. It's amazing that you've learned it, much less roleplaying with it, so we'll cut you some slack. One liners- okay. Not ideal, and it would be great if you shot for one paragraph postings, but it's okay. If you want to go with 500 word posts, go ahead. Be courteous, match the word count if you can. Roleplaying should be made in third person, not first.
OOC ![/color][/b][/font]
When out of character, treat members with respect. We don't want to see bullying or harrassment here. It's not cool. It's not fun. Even though this is all online, you can really hurt someone by something you type. Just don't do it. We wanna have fun here.
GRAPHICS ![/color][/b]
[/font]
We have to admit, graphics pretty much rock this world. We ask that for every character, you have a 100x100 avatar (up to 125x175), and a signature that doesn't stretch the board. It helps us get a visual, and really soak up your character. If you need any help getting correct sizing, or a banner, just ask. There are also plenty of forums around that have graphic resources, just make sure you credit! Face Claim Info: You can make a reservation, but it will only last seven days. That should be enough time to fill out our short application even with a busy life. One week, simply because we don't want to hold it on forever if someone won't come back. No duplicates, unless there are twins. Upset? We'd be happy to suggest playby's for you! Also, human playby's only. No cartoons or anime please.
FINAL NOTES ![/color][/b]
[/font]
Thanks for reading this! If we see violations or something we're not cool with, we'll talk to you and sort it out. Be sure if you have any questions or suggestions, to PM a staff member. That's what we're here for. And finally, be creative and have fun!
Love, The Staff (:
