Board Rules Board Rules 1. Do not flame or troll members of the board. Flaming/trolling is deliberately insulting another member. Also arguing falls under this category. 2. Do not SPAM in the inappropriate areas. The General Discussions forum has a sub-forum specifically for spamming. If you're feeling the need to spam go do it there. Otherwise don't do it at all. Post kitty somewhere in your post in the Agreement thread if you read this. 3. Do not state prejudiced comments. I don't want to see anti-gay/lesbian/bi/trans-whatever talk, anti-religious talk, anti-ethnicity talk, etc. Keep it to yourself please. 4. Do not dare to obsessively use vulgar terms. Its perfectly alright to use it with moderation, especially if it fits a character that you're role playing, however, the over-use of such language WILL NOT be tolerated under any circumstances. 5. Do not pursue arguments with the staff. If you have a problem with something that a staff member is doing then please PM me, and I'll take care of the situation. 6. Do not post any pornographic or sexually explicit materials. This includes putting such things in your avatars and signatures. Please note that if you infringe upon this rule you will be immediately banned. 7. The golden rule of every board is that you, the member, have fun. |

Role Play Rules 1. Do not God-Mod. God-Modding is controlling another character without permission. If you have the owner of the character's permission to God-Mod then you may. 2. Do not Power Play. Power Playing is basically making your character a God. You dodge everything, you have the perfect attacks, and you never get tired. That's Power Playing, and that is not allowed--ever. 3. Do not Meta-Game. This term is less familiar than God-Modding and Power Playing, however, it is often still a problem. Meta-Gaming is when you describe the environment in the role play to suit your character perfectly OR put other characters at a disadvantage. Ex. (Kronos had dodged Zeus's attack, but what Kronos didn't know was that he had landed on a precarious cliff that was now beginning to crumble away. It was just as Zeus had planned.) <-- That is bullshit. 4. Once again don't swear obsessively. Post ducky somewhere in your post in the Agreement thread if you read this. 5. Don't auto-kill another character. It is entirely up to the owner of the character to decide whether the character lives or dies. 6. Use your common sense and be fair. 7. The golden rule is to have fun. |
