Forum Rules
by Aura Sat Aug 03, 2013 6:20 am
Our forum rules are much like our group rules. Naturally you should know what is allowed and what is not. If a rule is too vague you can ask me for explanation.
1. You must be respectful and courteous at all times.
Please treat everyone else how you want to be treated. I will not tolerate someone acting like a brat to someone else for no reason. If you have a poor attitude please be aware that I am not going to put up with it and I will not allow anyone else to as well. You can kindly take your business else where. If you are having problems with a user please do not confront them and cause more of an argument. You need to message me or one of the other admins and we will send them a warning. If they continue the abuse they will be IP banned from the forum and chat, and also blocked from the deviantart group. I am not messing around. No forms of trolling or harassing will be allowed.
Another thing I do not allow is preaching about mary - sues. This is the most annoying thing I have ever witnessed and if you start an argument with someone because you do not like their character, I will remove you.
2. Please do not godmode.
Godmoding means to control someone else's character or be overpowered in roleplays. Please do not make immortal or invincible characters as this is not realistic. You may not kill of someone else's character unless they have given you the permission. Fights between your OCs need to be worked out between the two of you. Please do not continuously post negative or derogatory things about someone else's character, you might hurt their feelings and what you are really going to do is irritate me. There is no character that should be playing "god" and you might risk your character being removed.
3. Keep M18+ things in private messaging.
I cannot control what you guys roleplay, but I can just ask that you please don't post any mature or sexual content where it is visible. There is a private messaging system on the forum such as there is on dA with notes, so if you decide to do a roleplay that you know is not acceptable for young or sensitive viewers please be courteous or you will risk your posts being removed and possibly a temp ban given out if you do not heed my warning.
4. This is the written aspect of the group.
Here you will be accepted to keep things in a neatly written form. Do not use chatspeak, you must at least be semi literate. Paragraph roleplays are generally what will take place here, if not specified otherwise. You can do short-writ roleplay like you do in the chat if you like, you might contribute a hint to that in your first post so people are aware of how you roleplay. If you think this type of roleplay may not be right for you, you can stick to the deviantart chat or roleplay amongst each other in comments and notes. Remember, it is not necessary for you to join this forum. We thought we would create it so people who are used to paragraphs have a place to go.
5. Regarding posting art
I don't mind if you also post sketches or WIPs, full drawings, graphics, banners, etc here if you like. It's up to you. You need to make sure you post it in the right topic though. Don't just go randomly posting sketches in the middle of someone's roleplay. XP
6. Please do not make a scene.
If you feel you are being ignored in a roleplay please do not cause a scene or throw a fit. Also, do NOT repost your post 300 times. That is spamming. You need to kindly make the others aware in a nice, sensible way that you feel you are being ignored. If you have a problem deeper than this, you can note me about it. Other than that, you might try a different roleplay. Some roleplays here are private and are meant to be between the people who were invited to that topic. You can ask to join their roleplay or make your own, but please do not interrupt them if they have specified that it is a closed roleplay.
If you are making closed/private roleplays in a topic, then you need to state so in your topic's title. You may put [closed] or [private] it's up to you how you do it, but this way onlookers know that they can only read what is going on, and not interject.
If someone has posted on your private roleplay after you have asked them to leave, let me know and I will delete their posts.
