The first rule is a modification of the golden rule: treat others better then how you want to be treated. Once you join this site you will be part of this family, and as such you have a responsibility to cherish and to help out your other family members. So there will be no discrimination, no bullying, and no sexually harassing any of your fellow members. II. Admins and staff are not your almighty gods, or rulers, but we are the authority and keepers of the site. Please just treat us like your friend – we want to be friends with you – but don’t blow us off when we tell you something, either. If I, or another staff member, ask for an opinion on something then it is all right to disagree with us so long as you are respectful. If you don’t agree with something a staff member has done, then just come to us and respectfully tell us why you think we’re wrong. You are not going to get banned for having a different opinion. III. The board is rated PG-13, and we follow Proboards’ Terms of Service. There will be no extremely graphic violence or explicit sexual content whether in image, video, or written form. Any break in this law will be cause for an immediate ban. IV. There is no set word count, but a post must be at least a paragraph with correct spelling and grammar. One-liners and script style will not be a suitable post and anyone who has posted them will be told to revise all posts that are not at least four sentences long. This rule, however, does not apply to the OOC and Extras section. Also, please try to match the length of the person or people you are playing with to the best of your ability. If they give you three paragraphs try to aim for at least two, and so on. Though, please do not write novella-length posts either. We value quality over quantity. V. The game is set on liquid time. You may also be in as many threads as you can handle. VI. This game is one account per character. That means you will need to create a new account for each character. You may only have five characters in total. The first three characters are free, but for the final two you must have at least ten in character posts on your other characters' accounts. Your display name must be your character's first name only. VII. All images must be in anime, manga, and video game format, or hand drawn by/for you. You may only use someone else’s artwork – such as from webcomics and deviant art – with the artist’s permission. You must screen cap them giving you permission and link it in your profile. Face claims are optional. All avatars must be 100 x 100, and all signatures must be no wider than 425 and no higher than 150. Your profile icon must depict one of your characters. VIII. Do not advertise anywhere else except for the advertisement board and the url section in your profile. This means that you may not advertise in your signature, through PMs (meaning mass PMing or unsolicited PMs, if someone requested a link to another RPG then it’s ok to give it to them through a PM), on any board other than the advertisement board, and the cbox. IX. If you cause trouble, then you will be banned. Trouble basically includes consecutively breaking the rules, harassing or always arguing with other members, disregarding staff requests, and/or being an obnoxious little prat. I have zero tolerance and patience for those who can’t play well with others. X. If you see something, then say something. This means that if you see someone breaking a rule then you must report it to a staff member. Preferably, report it to me. [/style]

There will be no harassment, advertising, extreme violence or explicit sexual content in any shape or form. Do not link to another forum RPG or pet site in your name. You should link to your character tracker instead. II. There will be no discrimination. Include everyone on the conversation. III. You will pounce on new members and give them love. IV. There will be no bashing of another site or a person from another site on this cbox. That’s not classy at all. V. There will be no political arguments or racial slurs. You can talk about politics, but do not get sucked into an argument with someone or start one. VI. Do not obsessively ask people to reply to you. [/style]
