Forum Rules
1. Everyone who intends to role-play must apply! You are required to submit an application and it must be approved by, at least, two mods and an admin. The How to Apply section is listed under ‘Applications’ and must also be filled out properly before you will even be considered.
2. This forum supports all subject matter: whether it be comedy, angst, violence, homosexual relationships (yaoi, yuri, het, lemons and limes) etc…you get the picture. If you choose to participate in a thread that is not suitable for young audiences then this needs to be moved to the category that is labeled 'Classified Conducts.' This section is password protected so if you are given the password, it should not be handed out to anyone else without consent from an admin. Only those 17 or older are permitted to enter.
3. If spoilers do not interest you, then keep in mind that this forum will contain storylines with events that have happened in the most recent releases in Japan, France, etc. If you plan to apply, we prefer it if you are up to date with the current developments in the manga.
4. We expect that everyone provide their own link for the avatar they choose for posting. If it is not something you created on your own then you should give credit to the person and/or website in the credits section. If you are unsure of how to do this, please contact a staff member.
5. If your application is accepted please be prepared to post often. There will be various plots and sub-plots, all taking place at once, and if you enter into one of them and are needed for it’s completion, then you should take care to be respectful of the development of the thread and those who are in it. Long absences may result in us finding a temporary character and absences without notifying admins or failure to post in a timely fashion will result in your character being taken away. You will be given only two warnings.
6. If you choose to play your character ooc (out of character), you will also only be allowed two warnings. Ooc consists of actions, words, behavior that does not fit the personality of the character. We would like to keep this board as character specific as possible so if you are having a bad day and it shows in the way you play your character, perhaps you should not post.
7. *Very Important for RPG* - While you are posting...if you want to make a personal comment that is out of character you must place the text between double stars as such: **Yo...wassup peeps!**
8. If you have to take an extended leave of absence from the board, please post when and for how long on the 'Away Board' and notify one of the admins around the time of departure or else we might be subject to giving your character away to someone else.
9. Please do not post in someone's application until the staff members have reached a conclusion. Once the person has been approved or not approved you can give he or she pointers or congratulate them. No flaming or rude commentary about anyone's application.
10. In order to accurately apply, you must include your favorite pairing in BOLD at either the end or beginning of your application. Please specify this information so that we know you have read ALL of the rules and agree to the terms. (This applies for temporary[/b] roles as well.) Thank you...
11. Advertising - Please be courteous of our wishes concerning this. You are allowed to advertise (or link to your site) in your signature. Obviously, the size of this advertisement must remain within reason. There is also a thread in 'Lifes/Interests' where you can advertise, called Other Sites. But, everywhere else on the board (new threads, PMs, privately emailing all members) is prohibited. We ask that if you are uncertain about the way in which you're planning to promote your site, that you please ask one of the Admins. (Lina, Nyte, or Erin.)
12. And most of all…have fun. Make friends, be considerate, follow the rules and we won’t have to bite you! …just kidding…
