1. No Discrimination, Bullying, or Disrespect –
*This not only includes the two biggest forms of discrimination, racism and sexism, but others such as xenophobia and homophobia all the way through to ageism.
*Bullying includes verbal, emotional, mental, threats of physical, ostracizing without due cause, and any form of behaviour that is directly used to make somebody feel negatively about themselves. This is true anywhere on the site, including the cbox, out of character sections, and via the use of PM’s. The only place where it may be deemed suitable is in character role-play.
*Disrespect includes ‘lesser forms’ of bullying and socially unacceptable behaviour such as spamming, advertising anywhere other than the appropriate section of the forum, back chatting the staff, and stealing art work or characters.
*If you are caught disobeying this rule you will be punished with the very likely possibility of a permanent ban. This is to be a peaceful and utopia based community and we as a site have better things to do with our time than reason and have to deal with bullies.
2. No Offensive Material -
*No material (video, ic and ooc writing etc.) that is deemed by other members and in particular staff as overly explicit. This site is rated using a mixture of both the MPAA’s Classification System and the BBFC Classification System of ‘PG-13’ and ‘12a’.
*In character posts may contain some strong language, some explicit nudity, some intense violence, gore, or mild drug content; however threads should be marked accordingly using common sense and ‘some’ refers to a fair percentage of a thread, e.g. you don’t have a whole thread dedicated to a detailed description of a couple having sex.
*Out of character posts are restricted by minimal strong language, no explicit nudity or intense violence, gore, or reference to illegal activities including the use of illegal drugs.
3. No abusing character and posting rules –
*There is no God-modding, and this means the direct control of another person’s character without their consent, or the unrealistic perception you may have of your own character(s). Nobody is perfect, in real life or in role-play.
*The limit of characters on the site is 5 to a person and they should be created on separate accounts with an individual human celebrity claim, except in the rare case of twins, with an avatar and signature banner. If you cannot make these then they will be provided for you ... all you need to do is ask
. Your characters can be in the same thread however not exclusively.
*Each character must be kept active with a minimum of two log-ins every week from each character and two posts every two weeks for every character engaging in at least one character role-play thread.
*>This< is the 150th word in this rule. Character posts must be a fair paragraph, adding up to at least a minimum total of 150 words.
*Posts must also be in 3rd person narrative, i.e. ‘ Jennifer was walking her dog when she noticed that the password for her application was '...you got it',’ not ‘I notice that the password for my character application is '...you got it' while I walk my dog’ unless it is speech or thought from a character. The distinction between a characters thoughts and dialogue must also be shown clearly via the use of boldness, italics or colour. Be creative.
*Stick to the characteristics of the character you signed up with and if you want to change something in your application about them then please contact an admin so you can do so.
4. No festering over events or playing dumb –
*If something is really annoying you or you see a blatant disregard for the above and below rule(s) contact a staff member, not just this account. It may seem trivial and if so we don’t mind affirming that however it may be serious. Unfortunately we don’t get paid to do this so it isn’t a full time thing, no matter how much I would love it
. So, managing a board can be very hard and tricky so please help us in the respect of highlighting and flagging rule breakers to us where common sense dictates it is needed.
5. Have fun! -
