These are the overall rules for the sight.
1. No swearing
It's offensive to people, so just don't do it. You can find other words to use, I promise you.
2. No rude posts
I'm pretty sure we all know what this means. Please, just be considerate of each other, and we'll all get along fine. If you run into a problem with someone being rude to you, please contact the board's moderator, and they can help. Please do not falsely accuse anyone of doing something. If you do this, you'll be the one that gets in trouble. It's really annoying to be accused of something you didn't do.
3. No posting of inappropriate content
No inappropriate pictures, period. On the general board/chat thread/shoutbox, please don't talk about anything inappropriate.
4. No posting of explicit romance scenes on the RP
In the RPs, romance is allowed, but if you don't feel it's appropriate for all ages, make a private thread or move to PM.
5. One account per person
Making extra accounts only creates more inactive people. The administrators are busy people, and we don't want to spend a lot of time deleting extra accounts.
6. Do not steal, borrow, or copy anybody's characters
if you want to use someone else's character, ASK FIRST!!! I don't care how inconvenient it is, just ask. If they tell you no, don't get mad at them! Everyone has the right to say who gets to do what with the characters they create. This goes for thread ideas as well. If the thread has died and you would like to recreate it, please, ask for permission.
7. If you ever feel it necessary to report somebody, please warn them first.
Sometimes some people just don't know when to take a hint, you know what I mean? If you run into a situation where somebody is continuously bothering you, and you feel you may have to report them, let them know. Basically, what I'm asking you to do is, before actually reporting them, tell them, "Hey, I don't like what you're doing! Please stop, or I'll report you!" Hopefully, that will prevent you from having to report them, and fix the problem. If that doesn't work, go ahead and report them.
8. Don't argue with the admins
If an admin ever approaches you to resolve a problem, don't argue with them. If you feel that they aren't being fair, come to me, the creator of the website(username Avatar Avani) with your problem, and I'll decide weather the admin was fair or not.

What happens if your found breaking any of these rules:
For rules 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8:
First violation: you will get a warning PM from a moderator or admin. They will ask you to stop, and warn you of further consequences.
Second violation: you will receive another PM, and be banned from the thread you are breaking the rules on.
Third through Sixth violation: You will be banned from role playing for one day.
Seventh through Tenth violation: you will be banned from the whole website for a week.
Eleventh violation: you will be banned from the website for a month.
Anything above that will result in your complete removal from the site!
For rule 3:
First violation: you will be sent a warning PM from a moderator or admin. It will be the only warning you get. You will be banned from the thread/threads you were caught breaking this rule on, and will not be able to rejoin them.
Second violation: you will be removed from the site. This is harsh, I know, but necessary. I don't take breaking this rule lightly.
For rule 5:
The extra accounts will simply be deleted with no warning. This could end up being your main account!
For rule 7:
You'll basically receive a 'for future reference' PM reminding you of the rule. If you keep violating this rule, your reports may not be taken seriously.
