1. Keep the site friendly and safe for kids to read. This means keep the language to a minimum even though there are filters. We didn't make too many of them so there will be times when something won't be filtered. Please try to avoid it. Also, sex is allowed, but please, put a warning in the title!
2. Try and use good grammer and spelling. Word and programs as such have spell checkers and if you don't have one, dictionary.com is a perfect site to look up the word you want to use. Grammer is also a major thing because without good grammer, no one's going to be able to tell what you're talking about. Punctuation is the main problem in that case. Use periods, commas, quotations, and things like that. Trust me, people will want to RP with you more!
3. Try to keep away from constant one-liners... That drives loads of people away because there's never really much to respond to. Everyone has the occasional one-liner. It happens to the best of us! But it doesn't need to be constant. That just gets extremely annoying and makes some people mad as well.
4. No, absolutely no, killing on this site! Killing just ruins everyone's fun because if you kill their character, how are they supposed to RP? C'mon people, common sense. You don't kill people in RL (at least I hope not) so why do it on here?
5. No giving out the passwords to dorms and such. They're there for a reason. If we didn't have them, people would just go around freely, going into places they should not go and posting places they shouldn't be. That totally ruins the concept. You people know how it goes.
6. Do not, I repeat, Do NOT harass any of the admin! Harassing us just means you're one step closer to being banned from the site. It's not something we'll put up with. Everything we do has a reason and purpose behind it meaning that there should be no questioning going on. End of discussion.
7. Please do not PM any admin about becoming an admin or moderator. If we feel that you are worthy of it, then we'll PM you about it. We're not too fond of beggers.
8. Most of all, just have fun! There may be rules but that doesn't mean you can't have fun! We're meant to be on here to have fun and that's what we'll do. These rules aren't to make you mad or anything, they're just to create some order on the site. Don't think of these as a blockade. That's not what they're meant for. Just go out there and have a good time!
9. Remember, you're in school people! School! That means no walking around with a pregnant belly ladies, or a kid any of you. That will not be tolerated. You haven't even graduated so kids are out of the question. There will be a rare, extremely rare, few cases that (Becca's favourite food is Sausage Sandwiches) will be accepted. Don't think you'll get it past us, though. We are going to crack down on this rule. This is something that is widely hated so watch your back if you try.
10. Also, since this is a school, you will be expected to attend any class that you sign up for.
11. Also, please be sure not to take anyone's graphics! People spend a long time on their specialty graphics and to find that someone has stolen them and used them for themselves, well, that's just hard. It's happened to people before and I don't like to see it. Graphics take a long time to make and should not be treated as if they were made in seconds. Respect others!
12. Another message about signatures, make sure yours aren't too long or big. Any signature that stretches the board (meaning it's too wide) will be deleted without warning. Try to keep the length short. You don't need a million signatures. Make links to different ones and keep maybe one or two up. That makes it a lot easier for those of us who are RPing with you. We don't have to scroll forever to get to the next post. Long signatures will also be deleted without warning.
13. If you plan on joining, make sure to be active as much as you can. We don't want you to join JUST because you need to promote your site or your doing it because your friend wanted you to, etc. Join because you want to join and you want to RP. Those kind of members are the kind that are most respected.
14. You can play as many characters as you think you can handle. You can play a child and their parents or completely different families. It doesn't matter what you decide.
15. I am not allowing anyone but the canon people with it in their blood to be veelas, vampires and such like.
