These are the forum rules, they apply to every thread on this board, please stick to them so we can all have a good time. [Note: All RP boards/sub-boards are ONLY viewable by registered/authenticated members, sorry guests] If you are from y! just leave a comment on either ElfieRae, Skully, or r3belliousr3b3l's y! page and we'll make sure you are accepted faster (don't forget to tell us the email and username you used to sign up with! <3)
- No God-moding. Please control only your character. Violating this rule will instantly get you suspended and your offending post to be deleted.
- When posting do not use chat speak (be realistic with your speech and literate with the rest of your post). No actions in ** or - - or : : (use those in the chatbox ONLY). English only please, in paragraph form, as if you were reading/writing a story. Please use proper grammar, spelling (firefox has a automatic spell check, it's your friend), and punctuation. If you need assistance please feel free to ask.
- Sex is allowed in the RP threads WHICH ARE MEMBER LOCKED (you can only view them if you are a member of this board, and you MUST be 16+ to join). Yaoi, Het, Yuri is NOT allowed (it IS BUT for the sake of bots, it's not ^_~). Do NOT discriminate against pairings you don't like. If it happens in the RP, it's plausible, and it's not Out of Character, it's not the end of the world. Also, do not force a pairing onto someone else or force someone to rp sex with you. DO NOT create another account or take on a second character JUST to RP sex with a specific person/character. (Absolutely NO Shota or Loli as well as no disturbing fetishes such as guro or necrophilia [while we respect your views, please understand this is to appease EVERYONE].) Characters under the age of 16 will not be allowed to have a physical relationship described (but can be insinuated), romance is allowed but nothing 'dirty'. Shinra Tensei is NOT for Rping sex, it's not about sex, we have a plot. Please help us build a complex world with dynamic characters and good plot, that's what we're all here for.
- One character per person please. For right now, to be fair to everyone only apply for one character. If any information is needed, we suggest using www.leafninja.com/biographies.php for any canon information you may need. No Mary Sue/Stu's (We took the time to make a list, please use it).
- Stay active. An RP depends on more than one person (especially if you start something and then just leave). If you are going to be absent for a long period of time (2+ Days) please leave a message in the OOC area and make a small note (use the [ sub ] tag (minus the spaces)) in your latest reply. ("Watcher" accounts will be deleted with no warning after one month of no activity. Activity being Logging in.)
- Please make sure your profile and information (birthday, name, gender, etc) matches your character when you first sign up (there's no changing the year you were born after signing up). Avatars and Signatures should not contain graphic images. Signatures should be NO MORE THAN 700X300 pixels. (If your avatar or signature violates these rules, the Staff will ask you once to remove/modify/change it before removing it ourselves.)[there is a code installed that shrinks your siggy down on the forum, but not on your profile]
- The Chat box is just for fun. You may use the chat box to talk about anything, discuss happenings on the forums, or use it to rp. Any Rping that happens in the chat box does NOT count on the boards, though using the main plot is encouraged. No sex is allowed in the chat, it MUST be kept PG-13. (you can -sexes up- people, but DO NOT be anymore specific than that) We have a reason for this, and keeping to this rule helps this board not get deleted, so please stick to it for our sake.
- Don't discriminate, flame, troll, harass, stalk, or just be an ass to any other member. That being said, if you have a problem with another member on the forums, in personal messages, or in the chat box, please PM a Mod member with the problem (Please quote any PMs to the Mod member). If you are feeling afraid, threatened, or uncomfortable about another member, PLEASE contact someone on the mod team so we can help FIX the problem. We want to keep everyone happy and feeling safe. The warning system on Shinra Tensei is based on the "Three strikes, you're out" rule, but instead of Three strikes, you have Four.
- You may not use another person's account or create another account and assume the identity of another user. Example: You can not create a third account and pretend to be someone else in order to roleplay three characters. All users MUST have some way to contact them outside of the board be it via MSN, AIM, YIM Messenger(s) (meebo, pidgin, trillian, or another 3rd party messenger service is alright too), or another website like DA or Y! Gallery. (All Mod's have either AIM or MSN, feel free to contact us there.) You may be asked to provide proof that you are who you say you are. If you can not provide this proof, you can not have an account.
- You have TWO(2) WEEKS to submit an app (WIP included) for the character you have chosen. If you have not done so in the allowed amount of time: YOU WILL BE REMOVED and your character made open again. If you'll be busy during this period please leave a notice in the Absences Board to let us know. It only takes a moment and will save you a lot of grief later.
- You have to have your app COMPLETELY WRITTEN AND FINISHED BEFORE you can officially RP on this forum. This includes everything that is listed in the app itself besides pictures which you can add at your leisure.
- All RP posts on the board (excluding the OOC area) should be AT LEAST two(2) paragraphs or six(6) sentences long. Also,they must be decently long sentences(Ex of a BAD sentence: Naruto was sad. There are certain exceptions to this rule, we know some of you writers have a certain style that uses simple sentences sometimes. Just dont riddle your post with them.) and in third person past tense. (Ex. He set the book on the table.) This is to keep posts unified so that we're not jumping around in perspective/tense. You get one chance to rewrite your post if you violate this rule and if you don't fix it your post will be REMOVED by a staff member. This rule takes effect on Feb 12, 2009. Any posts before this date do not subjected to removal.
If you have any questions, please post them into the questions thread in the Main board. And remember: You are here to have FUN ^_^
All rules are subject to change without notice
