Hello and welcome to AU! Please read and familiarize yourself with all the following rules.
1. The most important rule of the site, is BE RESPECTFUL. Treat others how you want to be treated. We want to keep the site as friendly as possible.
2. No spamming. Spamming is posting the same thing over and over. This applies to the cbox and we also don't want double/triple/ect posting in threads.
3. Posts must be a minimum of 200 words. This is roughly two decently detailed paragraphs. It really isn't a whole lot, so please don't complain about it. Also, please try your best to match your post length with who you are posting with. We don't want to see too many 2 paragraph responses to 5 paragraph posts.
4. No god-modding. God-modding is controlling another member's character in a post, or making your character invincible. Everyone gets injured sometimes, you can't dodge everything and can't always be perfect. Also, be aware that everyone has a different idea of what is considered god-modding.
5. The maximum amount of characters one can have is 3. We may lower or increase this number as needed. Also there is only 1 character per account and you should change the display name to the name of your character. This helps make it easier to know who is who. Also, your character CAN NOT be related to a character from the books. We don't need any long lost relatives of Tobias or something like that. You can be related/connected to another character, but you MUST have that person's permission first.
6. Keep sexually explicit content to a minimum. We have people of all ages on this site and must keep this in mind. If you want more explicit content to be rped, ask an admin to move it to a password-protected board or rp it over PM.
7. No killing anyone's character without their permission. You should also run it by an admin, so they are aware of it.
8. Please let us know if you are going to be absent for a long period of time. We don't want anyone to hold up threads or be considered inactive after an activity check.
9. Graphics are great, because they let us know what your character looks like. However, right now we don't have a code to allow for larger avatars, so those can only be 100 x 100. We also ask that you keep signatures to a maximum size of 500 x 300.
10. We have a three strike system.
Strike 1: A warning
Strike 2: A warning
Strike 3: A warning, all strikes are gone
Each warning will specify what rule was broken.
If you break another rule after that, you are banned. So please follow the rules.
11. These rules are in place for us to HAVE FUN. After all what's the point in joining if you aren't having fun?
12. The admins reserve the right to change rules as needed.
13. This should go without stating, but you CANNOT post advertisements anywhere but in the advertising board. No links in the C-box and no soliciting via PM. If someone PMs you regarding another site you are on or a site you are the admin of, then you can discuss it. But you as the member/admin of this other site cannot initiate the conversation about it. That is when it is considered soliciting.
