Okay, these will be changing a lot so it's your responsibility to check back often. You will be notified of any major changes, but minor changes are up to you to notice.
-Listen to staff. This means no if's, and's, or but's. If you think that you are being specifically targeted due to a personal reason, contact the Head Admin and he'll settle the issue.
-No Double Posting, One-Line Posts, Impersonation of a Staff Member or Normal Member, or SPAMing. To me SPAM is: Short, Pointless, and Annoying Messages. It's also posting the same thing over and over.
-Do not be rude to any member. This includes taking OOC Grudges IC, Excluding because of racial background or ethnicity/other personal beliefs. We are a multi-cultural site and everybody is welcome; so make everybody feel that way.
-Do not contact a staff member in any way or form if you want something done that has a specific board. For example, don't PM a staff member saying that you want your character approved.
-Swearing is allowed, just not in excessive amounts. You may swear a little, but not every word or more than once a paragraph. We should all try to cut down on this.
-Please keep your signatures and avatars as well as any other pictures User Friendly, meaning no adult images. This can be done through an IM service or somewhere else.
-Please place a link to your Character's Profile in your signature. A link to a list of all your characters would be helpful also.
-Don't overdue it when it comes to characters. We have no limit, but do Activity Sweeps and will delete any accounts that are not being used unless a reason is given. If you won't play 'em, don't make 'em.
-No relatives to Canon Characters. This means you can't be Naruto's long-lost brother, or Yondaime's wife. If a Canon Character develops a relationship with you IC, then that's okay.
-Once a character is dead, they're dead. No magic resurrections or Necromantic Rituals. The dead stay in their indisposed state.
-You can have 1(one) Canon Character. This means choose wisely. The only way you canhave a different one is if you give up your current one. This gives others a chance.
-Custom Characters are just that, custom. You are not allowed to take the personality, history, name, etc. directly from a character in another Series or site. Be creative and use your own imagination. Plaguarism is illegal!
-Wait for your character to be approved before posting in IC areas. While waiting for approval, you may only post in the appropriate OOC areas.
-If you whine, beg, or ask for the staff to look/approve something, we'll make sure to check it out last or not at all. Patience is a virtue.
-Only staff can post in others' profiles. This is to keep the SPAM low and allow the profiles to stay clean and organized.
-Please be realistic with age. We will not give you anything specific for Age Requirements, but don't make a 15 year old Jounin unless your History can support this heavily and thoroughly.
-When it says codeword, reply with the answer: wha?
-Please RP in the Past Tense/Third Person. This is to make it clear and easier to understand and read. For emample:
...As I ran along, I wondered if I would... (INCORRECT)
...As he ran along, he wondered if he would...(CORRECT)
-No "godmodding" ro "met-gaming". this is inacceptible and will be dealt with severely.
-If you are posting something Sexual or Adult-Rated, type in Fade to Black before anything happens. This will let everybody know that "something" is happening.
-After the thread's title, include a "STAMP".
*If the thread is open to anyone, type OPEN.
*If the thread is full, or not open, type CLOSED.
*If the thread is containing spoilers, type SPOILERS.
*If the thread is special, type PRIVATE, VIP, or INVITE ONLY.
-All profile titles are to be the Characters Name. If the profile is unfinished, type NF afterwards for Not Finished.
-All rules are subject to change as well as their punishments for violation. [/color]
