RULES.

we won't bore you with a huge list of rules, because most of this is common sense. still, follow these rules and we won't have any problems.
one. we will not stand for any types of offensive or discriminative behaviour. seriously. it's not cool and it's not funny. we do not like it and that is that. the first offence gets a warning, the second gets a ban for a week and the third gets you banned entirely. don't think we won't know if you do it, because we will.
two. posting. now this is an literate rated site and if you know that you can't easily post a good post then this isn't for you. a good post should be two or three decent sized paragraphs, probably totalling about 500 words in all. it's honestly not that hard. grammar and spelling are important too and if you don't have microsoft word or something similar then you can find spell checks online, ect. while this site can be based in in-character cboxs, you must post an in character post with each character you have each week. having lots of characters is fine, as long as you keep up with them.
three. no perfect characters. it's that simple. no one is perfect, it's impossible, therefore your characters aren't. at the same time be imaginative because we don't want half of the school being rape victims or having dead parents. other important things to remember are no god-modding and be realistic. we don't want over-dramatic-drama-queens. they're irritating. you can have brilliant plots, please do, but just try and play things well. research your plots if you want eating disorders, ect. pregnancy, rape and things like that have to be approved by admins first.
four. make sure, if you want to be accepted pretty quickly, that your app is up to standard. plus, please don't bug admins about it, because it's annoying. we'll check when we can, but we're likely to put yours off if you're in the cbox going "can someone check my app please?" because it's plain irritating.
five. this is more of a request than a rule, but please just be nice. honestly. we want this to be a nice forum where everyone gets on instead of there being fights between members and everything. it's not hard to be a nice person and all that. plot with other members, offer help when someone's struggling.. that sort of thing. if you don't all work together then this site will never last.
six. when it comes to mature content, we're okay with it. however please be tasteful about it. swearing is fine if it's not every other word. in an argument it's understandable maybe, but people don't swear constantly, not even in england! if students are constantly getting it on everywhere then teachers will catch them and students will be punished. put warnings in your threads and cboxs. if we think you're being distasteful or doing it all too much then we'll probably ask you to tone it down. this is role play, not porn.
seven. no advertising anywhere in the board but the advertising board. that's that. no linking it to your names in the ooc cbox, no links in sigs. things are set how they are for a reason and that's that. wally is in gator's sock drawer. please don't chat speak either around here, the normal ones like "lol" and all that are fine in the ooc cbox but otherwise we don't want it. pretty plain and simple.
eight. claims are all first come, first serve. if you didn't reserve something and someone got it before you, then tough luck basically. just because you say it in your app doesn't give it to you automatically, you need to claim it as well.
nine. if you don't log in for three weeks without an away notice then an admin is within their rights to delete that account, especially if it's your only one. we value activity here.
ten. last thing, the admins word is the final word. if we say no, then it's no. don't argue. we're not being harsh, we're just trying to keep things smooth around here. we just want you all to have fun (:
