, the rules .
[/color][/font][/b]follow them.[/center]
, one .
to start off, when you first sign up, you can register as any name however, when once you've chosen a name for you character, please change your display name to the first middle last format; all lowercase. for example: ainsley gabrielle peters. we just like everything to look nice and neat and pretty. and we're sure you do too. and it gets oh so annoying having to change people's names for them. takes all of four seconds. (:
, two .
after joining comes the basic law that every site needs to run smoothly: respect. respect your co-members. respect your mods and respect your admins. first off, no one joins a site to get harassed or mocked. it's like one big family, except... a family that gets along. love your co-members. now when it comes to mods and admins... we spend a grand deal of time trying to put this together and run it so... i think it's only right that we get some respect. if you don't like the way we run things or you have a complaint of some sort, attacking us in the cbox isn't exactly respectful. a polite pm will do. or... keeping it to yourself. no need to go mouthing off. we love you. or else we wouldn't have made this site. <3
, three .
members are allowed as many characters as you can manage, and are expected to keep all of them active. the more characters you have the more active you're expected to be. yes, we understand that sometimes people get busy or take vacations, in that case you should post in the away thread or pm an admin. let's also keep the boy-girl numbers equal right? if you make two girls, your third character is expected to be a boy, and the same goes for the other way around. don't have all four of your characters in a band. switch it up a little.
, four .
after you are accepted you must post in claims. if you post in claims before you are accepted and for some reason you don't finish up the app or you decide to leave... then we're left with a claim that isn't really claimed. it gets confusing and messy for us. so after you are accepted post in the claims. all of them. it isn't that hard. we give you a nifty little code and everything. if you fail to post in claims and someone else comes along, gets accepted and then posts in claims when you didn't, then they will get the claim. it's as easy as that. you will lose it for failing to follow the rules. you must. post. in. the claims.
, five .
we all agree that signatures and avatars are pretty, yes? yes. and they honestly aren't that hard to find. if you cannot find any pictures for your face claim, then chose another. that won't be a valid excuse. hit up caution for pictures. not to mention photobucket never fails. if you honestly think you cannot find any and really do not want to give up your face claim, then pm an admin. as long as thier isn't an insane amount of people asking for help, then we'd be glad to help you out. if you don't ask, don't expect help. easy as one, two, three. (: but avatars and signatures are required. avatars: 100x100. signatures: no larger than 450x450.
, six .
this is a mature site. it's as easy as that. there shouldn't be much more explanation needed. there will be mention of drugs, sex, some swearing, etc. if you cannot handle it, or do not wish to, then this is not the site for you and we apologize. but we will not change our rating because one or two people cannot handle some of the material. if you still wish to stick around, then simply ignore what you do not wish to see or hear. simple as that. if you have extremely mature content in a particular thread, please mark it with an R or an M. thankyou. (:
, seven .
this is a literate site. we certainly are not in the fourth grade anymore. we all know proper grammar, hopefully, and spelling. if you honestly do not feel like you know it well enough, then type your posts up in word. it has spellchecker built in for that specific reason. and, hey, it also makes a perfect word counter. look at that. that is all. use proper grammar, punctuation and spelling. it simply wouldn't be fair to those who attented the fourth grade years ago and actually retained the information. this goes for the cbox too. please do not use excessive chatspeak. we all don't want to be constantly hitting up the urbandictionary to find out what the hell you're saying. <3
, eight .
the word minimum per post is FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY words. that is the mimimum, end of story. how's anyone suppose to have anything to reply to anyway if it's simply one hundred words? no fun, yes? add some detail, what is your character thinking? the password is horse. adverbs and adjectives are wonderful parts of speech. go crazy with it. make it nice and entertaining. read over it a couple times and perhaps you'll think of something you hadn't thought of before. when you're done...there really is no way you could be under four hundred fifty, really. we're serious about this business. load it with ranting or thought processes, anything. really.
, nine .
when posting an app, be sure that you have everything filled out. if there is something wrong with it, then we will give you a little bit of feedback. after that you get two chances to fix it properly. after that the application will be denied. if you honestly have no clue what we are talking about then please do not hesitate to ask. we are always available through pm. when you post an app please post it as LAST, first middle. for example: PETERS, ainsley gabrielle. if it isn't done a simple ND at the end of the name will suffice. please don't bedazzle it with asteriks, commas or parenthesis. it's not your title we're looking at. it's the app. after you have posted an app you get two weeks to finish before it's locked and moved to the denied thread. just kidding, the real password is blue phone. if you wish to have it reopened then pm an admin. and please don't fight us on our criticisms. it's just not going to turn out well for you in the end. (:
, ten .
PLEASE DO NOT DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT(S) ON YOUR OWN. IT CREATES A BIG MESS FOR US. A BIG MESS THAT = NO FUN.

have funnnnnn. <3333
