RP Universe Rules
Basic Site Rules
- No inappropriate content: Content of a dirty or sexual content is not allowed anywhere on this site. Use of such content will result in a warning the first time and if the problem continues will result in banning from the site. If you have any questions about what is considered sexual content and what is not, ask an admin.
- No bullying: This will NOT be tolerated and if you are proven to be bullying other members you will be banned from the site. We are all here to have fun without being bullied. If you are bullied please contact one of the admins and we will do our best to see that it stops.
- Respect fellow members: This goes with the no bullying rule. Please remember that there are people from all over the world here with different cultures, religions, race, etc. and be respectful of that. If you have an issue with someone else on the site please message one of the admins and we will do our best to resolve it.
- No spamming or unapproved advertising: Spamming is annoying and people don’t like it. Advertising is allowed only in the general discussion area and with approval from an admin.
- Suggestions for other types of RP are always welcome: Feel free to submit RP ideas in the General Discussion area. The admins will read them and then possibly implement them. Keep in mind that not all suggestions can be implemented and don’t be discouraged if your idea isn’t implemented or isn’t implemented right away.
RP Rules
- Character approval: In order to participate in the RP you MUST submit your character profile in the Character Profile area for the corresponding RP for approval by an admin and then wait for that profile to be approved and placed into the Approved Character area.
- No Bunny-modding: This means taking over another player’s character. Usually this kind of thing happens innocently enough but ends in major fights over what actually is happening. "*Player A attacks Player B and Player B falls to his knees in pain*" This is bunny-modding. Instead of allowing Player B to react to the attack, Player A assumed she hit him and told him how he was going to react. This is not acceptable RP. Never assume you know what the other character will do. (Sometimes, someone gives you explicit permission to run their character while away. This is the only time bunny-modding is acceptable.)
- No God-modding: This one should be pretty easy. God-modding is when a character is able to do whatever they want, whenever they want with little or no consequences. Be fair about how you react and don’t always act as if nothing affects you. No one can dodge 100% of the time.
- No Meta-gaming: This can sometimes be a difficult subject. Meta-gaming is when you, the player, knows that something is going to happen ahead of time or uses your knowledge of what’s going on to help your character avoid certain problems or react certain ways. Do not use what you know about other characters and what’s going on to move your character. Only use, what your character has actually seen, heard and knows about.
- Keep OOC (Out of Character) comments to a minimum in RP areas: We realize that sometimes OOC comments may be necessary. When this happens always put the OOC content in parentheses: Example: (I’m confused). If you want to discuss something either PM the person or post in the General Discussion area. The General Discussion area is for OOC conversations about whatever.
- Posting private RP threads: If you wish to have an RP thread with only certain characters that is fine however, there are some guidelines that must be followed for this. If the thread will contain 4 or less characters then the title needs to be followed by (Tag: character 1’s name, character 2’s name, and character 3’s name). If you wish for more than 4 characters to be included but still don’t want it to be an open thread then the title needs to be followed by (Tag: Private). Then it will be the creator of the thread’s responsibility to PM the characters they wish to have participate in that thread. Also if you wish to join a thread is marked private or tagged for certain characters, contact the thread creator asking for permission. Keep in mind that they do have the right to deny you that permission and be respectful when this happens.
- Open threads: There will be RP threads that are open to every character. These threads should be marked with (Tag: Open) following the title. If a thread has that label on it then you don’t need permission to join it. Go ahead and join and have fun.
- Give others a chance to post: Please try to keep multiple posts on one thread to a minimum. This means that if you post something on a particular thread, try to give others time to react to your post by posting themselves before you post again to that thread. If you are in a thread with specific characters try to allow everyone to post before you reply again. Now this may not always because some people aren’t as active… if that happens and say two of the three have posted go ahead and post again.
- Major actions require permission from the other character via message: This means that any crippling actions, cutting off of limbs, or killing of another character are only permitted if permission is obtained from that character via a message BEFORE the action takes place.
Thanks for reading the rules, we hope you have an amazing RP experience here on RP Universe!
