`rules,

[INSANE AMY!]

it isn’t that hard to follow some simple rules, do these and life will be much easier on you and us. although, if you have any questions, pm any of us and we’ll be glad to clear it up for you. now, if we do find that you repeatedly break a rule, we will give you a warning and then if we need to, we will ban you. if you wouldn’t mind, use English as the main language, we have many people who speak languages other than English, but we’d prefer that as our main language.

accounts

[/i][/center]

okay so being a new member, we will allow you to have a maximum of 5 characters for your first month or so. we have to make sure that you are active around the site. if you want to make a new character, even if you haven't lasted for a month, you have to ask/contact an admin about it. don't worry, we don't bite. as long as we see you active, we will allow you and accept your character. but if you haven't been active or the character isn't, we will delete it. don’t think we won’t. now, if you have two female characters, please have a male character if you make a new character. males are generally the minority on these sites, so we ask that simple task of you. it’s easy, now, if you have issues with said rule, please pm one of the admins and we’ll be glad to assist. you.

our only other big rule with accounts is that you have the character’s full name as the display name, unless it won’t fit of course, and that you have an avatar and a signature of your character in it. we don’t really care what the username is, just have the display name be your character’s name. one character per account! btw, key word is i'll be your hero

face claim

a face claim, the claim of your face. as soon as you are sorted, please go claim the celebrity that you are using. we have a face claim thread located here, it’s very simple to follow, just tell us who you’re using. use the provided code to make it easier on us. only one person can have a face claim, unless they’re twins or triplets, etc. NO ANIME ALLOWED! at all. please, for your own safety, don’t use yourself as a face claim, use the people that are plastered up around the world, it all works. if you need help finding a face, because I know there are many that are used all the time, we can help you out. but do try your best to find one yourself.

stealing

[/size][/i]

this applies to graphics, forms, posts, everything. don’t steal from people, that’s just wrong. if you use something that isn’t yours, please have permission from the creator. there are many sites where you can get a template that’s meant for public use, just try one of those if you need something, just be sure to follow their rules. we the staff don’t want to have to deal with the official owners of the graphics or whatnot getting all pissy about it,

it doesn’t take much work to just add in the credit or even just make your own, save yourself most of that trouble! these sites are for creativity, don’t sink so low as stealing.

advertising

do not, under any circumstances, post advertisements in the cbox or in a thread, or crap like that. just don’t do it, easy as that. if you really want to get the word out about your board, post it in the correct place, the advertising and affiliate board. easy as pie.

graphics and requests

[/i][/size]

we don’t have many particular rules about graphics except for the fact that if it has nudity, we will delete it and give you a warning. keep it appropriate, we have youngsters on here, they don’t need to be scarred like that. don’t steal them, it’s just not done. give credit to the creator if someone else makes it for you, it’s easily done and it makes them happier.

we have graphic designers and people here who are more than happy to make you a sig, just post in their thread if they have one, if they don’t, it is fair game for them to say no.

if it stretches the board, it will be removed, fear us. just keep it decent and then we won’t have any problems with you.

ages

[/size][/i]

our rules for the ages are simple. the ages of characters that would go around the site should only be 14 and above. otherwise, just get crazy with whatever their age is. no one is stopping you as long as they aren't younger than 14. also, be realistic about it.

respect

[/size]

if the staff tells you to do something, don’t argue. they have worked and earned their spot on the staff board, this means that they have earned your respect. but it’s not only the staff that deserves respect, all of the other members do too. if someone says something that you don’t agree with, then either just stop talking or politely ask them to change the subject.

racism, discrimination, sexuality, religion, just don’t talk about it. it makes life so much easier. if one person says “oh, I’m gay,” then just nod and say okay, please don’t say “you damn fag, gtfo.” it upsets more people than just them. just shut up if it comes to that.

godmodding

[/size][/i]

if you don’t know what it is and you fear you’re doing it, ask. please. if your character is in a fight, or a duel, or a contest of any sort, they are not all powerful. they will take a hit, they will miss. you cannot control the other person’s character. just stop.

please, do remember to check back at these rules ever so often, they might change sometimes. you never know. thank you, and if you follow all these simple rules, it will make things easier and funner on you and on the staff.
