These are the rules that apply to the forum as a whole, it is necessary for you to understand and follow these rules.
GENERAL RULES:
1. No Arguing: The admins word is final. We don't want to break friendships nor do we want any more stress put on me or Skye then that is necessary. If we find that you are causing trouble by getting angry and verbally abusive with your argument, we will take action. It is perfectly fine for you to argue for a point that you think is right, you have the right to, just don't take it too far.
2. 1st and 3rd person: Destiny allows for both types of writing to appeal to all writers, so feel free to write in either.
3. Swearing: It's not banned here, but please do not curse excessively.
4. Bullying: This is an absolute no. No exceptions. If you are making another member upset or uncomfortable purposely, beyond the point of joking around, you will be confronted by an admin. If you are the one being made uncomfortable or upset, please report it to an admin via PM. If you are Role Playing and it is in your characters nature to be mean, then go for it, just keep it In-Character please.
5. PG - 13: This site is rated for ages 13 and above. Swearing is permitted, heavy fantasy violence is permitted and sexual content is kept to a minimum. Sexual interactions may occur, but please do not go into explicit details. Just go into a fade-out.
6. Post Length: Please make sure your In-Character posts are at least a paragraph long. We're not looking for massive, novel worthy posts, but please do not fall into replying in mere sentences.
7. Spelling and Grammar: We don't ask for expert quality stuff here, so long as your posts are easy to read and follow, we won't have any problems.
8. God-Modding: Unless you are given permission by the member, do not control another players character. During a fight, please allow both parties to be in agreement of what will happen.
9. Accounts: Please name your account after your character, Proboards asks for a one word name, so please use your characters first name for this, it really helps out especially for linking characters to posts, (e.g. Just Mo)
AVATAR AND SIGNATURE RULES:
1. Keep it to PG-13 standards please.
2. No excessively big Signatures or Avatars please.
3. We'd rather not have character avatars based of real-life people, using the face of a fictional character is fine.
ABSENCES:
We try to remain not too strict on absences, but we do ask that if you are leaving for a long period of time (more than a week), then please let us know in the Absences board placed in Introductions.
More or less, we ask that you post at least one In Character post a week, over how many characters you have. If you are picking up a Canon, please try to make sure that you remain active with that character, otherwise the canon will be put up for re-adoption. We would rather that you told us if you could no longer stay active with a canon, however, since this makes it a lot easier on us admins.
