If you are a guest and need to contact a staff member, or want to see the place in a members point of view, then feel free to use the guest account. It's something new I'm trying out and hopefully it'll have some good reviews. This account was made especially for you so that you can take a look at all the features, skins, and the likes. I don't think that posting a question in the c-box is as efficient as actually messaging me or another staff member, as it will soon disappear as more and more messages are posted. Just put something in the title that you will recognize, so that when the account is messaged back you'll know it's for you. Every week the account will be checked by me or another staff member and old messages deleated. Of course, you don't have to take advantage of this, it's just a little something extra!

1) Respect everyone. Nobody likes to be picked on or insulted, so please play nice. My staff and I don't need messages every other day about how ______ won't stop picking on _______ - our lives are stressful enough. Not to mention running a site!
2) My word is law. That doesn't go to say that I'm going to be pulling rank on you all the time, but don't argue with me. Respect is very important in this area. If another staff member, however, is trying to do this and you don't think it's right, then message me and I'll handle it.
3) Don't be afraid to ask questions. Message a staff member or, if you think they'll know the answer, an rp partner. We don't mind helping you out, no matter how stupid you think your questions are!
4) Please, if you notice a guest, answer their questions to the best of your abilit. Try to make them feel welcome, we want to get new members, not chase them away! We do, however, expect our guests to return the favor and be polite!
5) Cussing is allowed, but don't overdo it. Yes, it may be a matter of expression, but I'm sure that there's another way to get your point across.
6) Chat-speak is allowed in the OOC portion, but if I ever $33 Y0u T@lK Leik D!s, then we're going to have an issue.
7) No religious talk. Everyone has their point of views and beliefs, but there's no reason to talk about it on an rpg. it's okay to say "Oh my god" and things like that, but I don't want to see it in discussion.
8) Plaguerism is NOT ALLOWED. Sites get shut down for that and I don't want this to be one of them. If you're using someone elses image, put a disclaimer in a noticable position.
9) Pornagraphy is not allowed. Period.
10) Keep all OOC threads in their correct boards. Also, please keep OOC talk to a minimal in IC threads. if you want to do a catagory thing like:
Character;;
Word Count;;
OOC;;
That's okay.
1) You may start rping before your character is accepted. However, be aware that we may ask you to change things - so watch what you post.
2) No chat-speak. The only exception to this rule would be, well, there really isn't one.
3) Keep the characters related to the RP. I don't want to see Cows running all over the place, okay?
4) You may speak in any "person" you want - besides 2nd. That's just confusing.
5) You may not kill another persons character unless you have their permission. Please either notify me either in the post itself or by PM that you have that persons permission.
6) No Godmoding or powerplaying! That's annoying!
7) If you and another member cannot decide on who wins in a fight, then myself or another staff member will judge the fight.
8) There is no requirement when it comes to post length, but I don't want to see one-liners everywhere! I would prefer a minimum of 100 words.
9) Since this is based off of something graphic, I'm allowing graphic roleplaying -- though a warning in the title would be much appreciated.
The site can be put into Maintence Mode for many reasons. It could last a few hours or even a few days. Things like board cleaning, member inactivity, and things like that are the most common. If I'm not going to be on for a few days, I may close it down until I can get back on. If it's going to be a few weeks, I'll end up leaving it open with a trusted staff member in charge so I don't promote inactivity. If, for whatever reason, activity slows to an almost standstill, I'll put it into maintence mode until I'm done doing some renevations. Even if staff members are allowed into the site, I may put on some limitations. Things like that will be PM'd to my staff members.
I hope my members and staff members alike realize that when I'm gone, I'm trusting you to do what's right. I don't want to come back and find my site a complete mess! If I find that I can no longer trust you here by yourself, I'll put it into maintence mode and only turn it on when I'm here. That's only fair and once you break my trust, it's GONE.
1) Cussing is allowed, but don't over do it.
2) Feel free to use chat-speak and abbreviations. But again, if I $33 Y0u T@lK Liek D!s, we're going to have some problems!
3) Don't post more than 4 times in a row - unless your fixing a mistake in which case put a * before the corrected word or phrase. The other exception would be if you're making some serious long sentences.
4) Once again, if a guest asks a question, answer it! Make them feel welcome!
5) Avatars are not allowed and are disabled in the c-box. They stretch the box out and it doesn't look pretty.
6) No links in the c-box. You can put links in your name, but not in the c-box.
7) NO ADVERTISING! We have a board for that!
