[rules]
[ rules ]1. Respect the other members; we're aiming to keep a fun and friendly environment. If there are drama issues OOC, do not let it influence IC. If the situation becomes too big and nasty that it's out of your hands, please contact a mod. We will help as well as we can to clear the issue. Again,
no drama is allowed here outside of IC Character conflict.
2. Slash, femmeslash, and het are all welcome here (threesomes, too)--rating can range from G to PG-13 without warnings. R and NC-17 posts should be labeled with warnings, and f-locked. Do NOT flag any entries on the community.
3. Please stay IC in the main community. We take 'in character' very seriously. There is an OOC community for any side conversations you may want to have.
4. God modding is a no. As is unwanted [read: negative] criticism on how someone plays their character
[flaming].
5. STAY ACTIVE. This is self-explanatory. There is a
hiatus post for if you are unable to manage this over a certain period of time. Two weeks is the maximum hiatus time so if you must for any longer than that then speak to a mod or please drop.
Also, if you know that you will not be active in the community please do not bother applying. It's a hassle to the mods to constantly correct information on your behalf.
6. If you are ever to want to leave the community, make a clear post on the OOC community after replying to the hiatus/dropping post and completing the actions listed there.
7. You are required to have a PB. This means: You need to have a real life model to represent your character. With the taken characters is a list of the ones already in use. No, you cannot have the same PB as another player. If a model is hard to find for your chosen character, a mod can assist you.
Good places to look for a PB model:
character_picshollow_arthires_hunkszsephyrx8. Pay attention to your spelling and grammar. If you're showing a pattern of being incapable of writing coherently after an initial warning, we will ask you to step down from your character.
9. Memes. If a character posts a meme, do
not post your result in your own journal. If you want your character to interact due to the other player's results, reply to their post, and your result will be shared that way. This is only to prevent f-list spamming, but is very important.
There is an exception to this rule, which is memes that honestly have to do with the characterization of your character such as "Ask me a question about my character and I'll respond with a small essay.", or a few others.
Also, every so often, a mod will put up a "HOWS MY DRIVING" post for everyone to mingle in.
10. Those of you that wish to apply as characters not yet in college are free to do so. But they will not be included in college activities. You are free, though, to go about and set up a 'history' of some sort with the other characters due to the respects of the player.
11. You must be at least 17 years of age in order to apply. No minors are allowed in the game! While researching international law, seventeen appeared to be the most common age for a legal adult. So the minimum age allowed in the RP is officially seventeen.
12.. No sharing of personal journal amongst non-players! This rule is actually very serious. Your personal journal is meant for you and you alone. Sharing it means allowing someone outside the community to see things they have no permission to view.
13.. You must have AIM. This is the most commonly used client that players use in the community. It will ensure contact with everyone as well as being a sure and easier way for moderators and players to contact you.
14. Please put large or non worksafe images under a friend's cut! Be considerate of the other players' friends list!
15. If you are making a post in the IC main community, please tag your entries! They'll be better to keep track of in the future.
16. Have fun! The most important rule! ♥
