GENERAL RULES

First off, the rules. Read them, memorize them, burn them into you brain. Violations can result in stiff penalties. Some of them may seem binding but they are necessary and it is easy to follow them and still have fun.

1) Use third-person when typing your posts and pay attention to grammar and spelling. This means that excessive spelling and/or grammar errors are highly looked down upon. There is a such thing as spell-check, please use it. If English is not your native language then please PM an Admin to discuss this with them, but we do expect an effort on your part to improve.

2) You may not force someone into roleplaying with you. This includes making a Thread without their permission that is directed specifically at their characters, to trying to blackmail them into roleplaying with you. Depending on the severity this is punishable.

3) R-rated threads must be kept to their specified boards. Also, you may not have access to an R-rated board unless you are 17+, as in accordance with rated movie laws. If you lie to us about your age all access to this board will be denied.

4) Keep the use of obscene words to a minimum. If it is absolutely necessary for the post, it will be allowed. But if they are over-used or the Admins feel they are being overused, said post will be altered and you will be warned. This also includes chat speak.

5) God Modding is illegal. A person created a character, and they are perfectly capable of RPing them by themself.

6) No multiple accounts. It's not like you need multiple accounts anyways.

7) You may not use another person's artwork without their express permission. Offsite, or Onsite. We will follow this offense offsite if necessary.

Light Offenses

God-modding
Overly graphic posting in non-mature forums
Excessive swearing after a warning
Having multiple accounts (we can find out)

Heavy Offenses

Harassment
Art theft
Character theft

Warnable Offenses

Use of chat speak in excessive and unneeded amounts.
Mary-sue/Gary-sue characters.
Being illiterate and not doing a thing about it
Excessive swearing
Forcing RPs

Do's
-Have fun in your RPing. This is for entertainment. The least you can do is enjoy it.
-Make the RPs interesting. Throw in humor or a plot twist. Yes, plot twists are allowed so long as they do not affect the outcome of the Drers or the Village/Island as a whole. So, for example, things such as minor rock slides somewhere on the island are allowed.
-Also, duels, killing someone (with permission), getting
run over by a rabid donkey, races, games of tag, hunting
wherries, twisting an ankle while running to make a doctor's
appointment, etc, are all examples of potential mini-plots.

Don'ts
-Make a site-changing plot without Admin approval.
-Be excessively vulgar or sexual in any forums other than the mature forums.
-Take control of other people's characters (aka, God-modding)
-Take control of a plot. Admins have control over plots, and let others react as they choose.


Signature Rules



1. Everyone must have links to their character profiles in their signatures. This makes things easier on everyone when we can get to a profile easily while RPing. No one wants to get a description or trait wrong when trying to describe a character. This is required. For help on links, see the BB Coding Help topic.

2. The signaturess cannot stretch the boards.

3. A signature pic cannot be overly tall. 300 pixels is the recommended limit, but it can be taller, so use your judgment. If it is overly tall, you will hear from the Admins. But if you don't, you're fine.

When posting stuff not related to characters, please use your judgment again. DeviantArt profile links are fine, as they are your art. We not want to see links to other sites that could be harmful to our Weyr and the members. This includes but is not limited to:
Porn
Political Affiliations
YouTube Videos
Religious Adds
Other Roleplay Websites

Basically, if a site can be deprecating to one's mental health, don't use it in a signature. Things like "Dragon Cave" and "Hatch my Pokemon" are fine, though. Things like "Looking for a good time?" are not. Just don't. You will be warned, and offending content will be removed by the Admins if the content is deprecating enough.

If you have any questions feel free to PM an Administrator and they will answer your questions as best they can.
