There's not much to say really, apart from if you don't follow the rules then the consequences that follow could be fatal. Well, you might at least loose a leg or an arm. I guess it would have been your own fault for having us let the dog loose on you. Dog? Yes, you read correctly now read on or we'll let it loose. Oh, and before you even think about skimming through, you need to find a code word and it's not going to be very obvious. Haha. There is a lot, but do you think we care?

General Board Rules

Terms Of Service. As this board is kindly hosted by Proboards, we need to make sure that people accept their Terms of Service. It really isn't that hard to follow and a lot of what they ask, we endorse here anyway. - First code letter is a 'P', go find the other three. - But if you find yourself not agreeing with something, then you can bugger off. We have no time for people like you.

Our Board. We must warn you that our board is or will become slightly violent and gruesome. We've taken the RP world to the next level and therefore advise people to be mature and sensible about it. If you want to be part of this board then you'll generally need a strong stomach to cope with some of the events that could and will happen. You've been warned.

Age. It doesn't matter whether you're brilliant at role-playing and you happen to be under the age of 13, it still means you've gotta go and wait till your next birthday. Now, we didn't make up this rule, it's Proboards rule and we're quite happy to abide by it. Mainly because I don't fancy illiterate 12 year olds running riot around the place and dribbling all over our clothes.

Respect. It's not something that we really need to ask for, but we can't have this board full of people who don't know how to hold their tongue. Okay, so you might see me going off on a rant, but I'm an admin and it's my job to put people in line. And besides, if you come across as a loud mouthed twat who doesn't know when enough is enough and everyone hates you, don't come crying to us. We did warn you.

Personal Information. Well, it's called personal for a reason. There is, unfortunately, a rise in the amount of perverts on the internet these days and the last thing you want is to have some fat old ginger slug after you. It's best to be safe than sorry and none of us want to be at the hands of some creepy old man. To cut a long story short, don't give out your full name, age, email address, where you live or pictures. Not hard is it?

Don't Steal. People work hard on the stuff they put on their boards and the last thing they want or need is some lazy trollop coming along and taking it. There's a lot more laws these days against thieves and a lot more control. It might just be an avatar or a sign up thread, but someone's put work into it. Thieves suck monkey balls. I doubt you wanna join that clan.

Role-Play Rules

Activeness. We allow two weeks for someone to create their profile and become sorted before we delete them. I've been on many boards where people join and bugger off and are never heard from again. So unless you've told an admin that you're going to be inactive for a while, you'll be deleted. It's simple and fair and we don't want our board being clogged up with inactive members.

3rd Person. We only accept people to role-play in 3rd person. If you're found doing it in 1st or 2nd, then you can expect a warning. It is really not that hard to role-play in this fashion and it's actually easier really when you're writing it from a character's point of view. I'd hate to think there's someone on here that doesn't know what 3rd person but if you're really that dull it's using 'He, She, They'. Got it?

Swearing. We're allowing it on here and we've even gotten rid of the censors. This board is for mature people only after all. You should be able to cope with some harsh words as it's all part of the fun. What we don't encourage is people using it insistently and if you're found using it a lot then you'll probably be banned from swearing. Heh, or we'll set up a swear jar.

God Mod. You're not God, you do not control everything in the universe. Got it? You cannot control someone else's character because it's unfair and makes you look like a power-hungry idiot. Examples would be having a duel with someone and you saying all the spells hit the opposing player. Wrong. We don't allow this, it's up to the other player what happens next.

NC17 Scenes. Hmm, well, I don't exactly like the idea of the students shagging each other at every other opportunity, but we've got a board for stuff like that. You can only have the password if you plan to actually do something in there, rather than jerk off at someone else's post. Horrible thought really, but you never know with some people these days. But, I think this topic is more or less completely, uh, covered.

Post Size. Oh, don't get me started on one-liners. They are something that drive me insane, more so than Liam does. But seriously, this board is an intermediate to advanced role-play and we expect our members to be able to write posts two to three paragraphs long. And I mean good paragraphs, not one with only a couple of lines in. If you're role-playing isn't up to scratch, you'll probably end up with me nagging you.

Spelling And Grammar. No one is perfect at either, but to make life easier for us all, there is a spell-check button that you can use. - Second code letter is 'I', go find the last one. - Most computers also come with some form of word document writer thing (Microsoft Word) and you can post your post in there and it'll go over any mistakes that you might have made. It's just easier than looking like an illiterate fool.

Graphics

Max Sizes. Big signatures and avatars can be pains and I find them annoying as much as the next person. I used to be quite tolerant with them, but these days I'll just remove them without blinking. The maximum we allow for a signature is 550x250 and the maximum avatar size is 100x100. Anything larger will faced being removed.

Keep It Clean. Who an earth wants to see your graphics with a nude picture of the celebrity in? Well, I doubt many on here would. - Final code letter is 'E'. Put the three letters together to discover the code word. - For one, it could probably be considered as porn and Proboards clearly states it will have none of that. It also states that no nudity should be allowed. This kind of shit will be removed, no questions asked.

Use A Celebrity. Don't use yourself or someone from MySpace or VampireFreaks. These people probably don't want their face being plastered all over the net by you just because you were too lazy to find a celebrity. Again, you'll be told off and have the dog released on you and then after you've been maimed, we'll take the graphics down. Oh, how lovely we are.

Finally... Don't steal our stuff. It's ours. Not yours. We made it. You didn't. I'll cut you if you take any of our stuff. And besides, most of it has copyright stuff on it and hence, if you take it and use it somewhere, people will know you've stolen it from yours truly. And you will join the pack of thieves that suck monkey balls and have been maimed by the dog.
