the rules!!
[/center][/blockquote][/size]the basics;;it may seem like a lot to read, but really, it's not. please read the rules carefully, don't just skim. if you do, the staff will obviously know when you start breaking them, so do yourself a favor and read them, it'll only take about five minutes of your time. :3
01. Respect all of the staff members. Being disrespectful to someone, especially someone with power over you, will not get you far. So be smart people and make love, not war.in character rules;;
02. This site needs to be a active site. I know that you can't get on every day, but if you can't get on at least three times a week, then this site is not for you. If you're going to be gone for more than five days, then please post a thread in the absence board, unless you want to risk being deleted.
03. The maximum amount of characters you are allowed to have is seven. If you can't handle seven that's fine, make as many characters that you will be able to keep active. If you think you can handle more than seven, then you can always buy one from the zen store. Please make only one account for all of your characters, not an account for each character.
04. A member is allowed up to two high positions. Both positions cannot be the same. For instance, you can't be the deputy of ThunderClan and also the deputy of ShadowClan. That being said, you also can not be both a Leader and a Deputy. To have a high rank position, you must audition your character in the auditions board, only if and after your character is accepted. If you wish to have a third high position, you must purchase it in the zen store. And even then, three is the maximum; it wouldn't be fair to others if we allow more than that.
05. Dramatics, such as deaths, killings, queen pregnancies, etc, are only allowed if you ask permission from an admin first. Yes, all sub-plots are allowed here, but some people get out of hand. We don't want one queen having six litters in a six moons period or one cat killing ten cats. So PM an admin if you want to do something concerning your character.
06. No asking staff if you can become a staff member. We will choose who we think are capable of being staff - if you ask us your request will be ignored and your chances of becoming staff will be ruined.
07. NO SPAMMING! Don't join a thread just to say, "Hey, come join our thread!" It's not only unnecessary, but annoying. If you want to spam and chat with other members, go to the general board and try to find someone to roleplay with you there. Just keep in mind that in character boards and out of character boards are meant to be separate.
08. Don't bug a person saying, "WHY HAVEN"T YOU POSTED ON OUR THREAD! POST!" People have lives and may be doing other things, or maybe they just don't feel up to it at the time. A member will post when they want to, so please don't bug someone unless it is completely necessary.
09. Apprentices do not choose their mentors, and neither do warriors choose their apprentice's. Once your apprentice is accepted, the leader will choose a mentor for him/her, and then will notify you via PM.01. NO GODMODING. You can't just say that "He attacked her and pinned her against the ground." However, you can't just dodge all shots either. That makes you no fun to RP with. Also, we don't want any Mary Sue's or Gary Stus - everyone has weaknesses. If I think that your character is acting like either of those, I will send you a link to a test to see if it is. And you must be honest with the results. However, if you would like to check anyways, the test can be found here.
02. This site rating Is PG-13. Cursing is allowed, but not excessively. And no graphic mating. We have members as young as thirteen here, so they most likely do not want to read about that kind of stuff. Also, no gory battle scenes either. We don't want any member feeling grossed out.
03. PLEASE write something worth reading in your posts. This is an intermediate to advanced rp site, so no one-liners is allowed. Be descriptive! The minimum word count on this site is two hundred. If that's too hard for you, than this site may not be for you.
04. The only animal we roleplay on this board is cats. If you want to roleplay wolves or foxes, then go to a wolf/fox rp site. Also, it is required that a potential member has read at least one book of the Warrior Cats before they can join. We don't want random people who have never heard of the series join and have no idea what's going on or how to post.
05. Your characters cannot have special powers or elements. Powers like flying or elements like wings, red and blue stripes, ect. Is there such a cat with a blue pelt and red stripes? No. And no abnormalities like fiery red eyes. Cats don't have red eyes. Make things original people!
06. Please use proper spelling and grammar. I understand if you make a spelling error. But it's also possible to go back and edit a post. Please capitalize the first letter of the first word in your sentence and all names. I expect you are above 6th grade and know spelling and grammar. Also, posts should always be in third person and past tense. Except when your character is talking.
07. No one may roleplay a kit unless it is old enough to take care of itself (five moons) or there is somebody available to roleplay its mother. It just makes sense, right? Kits can't take care of themselves, and if there are no queens in the nursery, then that would just be bad, wouldn't it?
08. Don't have crazy font colors in your posts. It's okay for character plotting, of course, but people might not want to read the posts if they are all a zillion different colors and weird, funky fonts. Please only use the size one, it looks a lot cleaner and neater. Also, some good fonts to use are arial, georgia, and times new roman.
signatures and avatars;;01. Your avatar can be of anything you want - your character, you, your cat, favorite quote, etc. However, it should be no bigger or smaller than 100x100.
02. No huge signatures. 472x250 is the biggest any signature can be, we don't want any of them stretching the boards.
03. Absolutely no nudity. No one wishes to see that. If you post any kind of nudity on the site, it will be deleted immediately.
c-box;;01. Don't spam the c-box. Spam is small pointless annoying messages. Conversations are welcomed. That's what it's for. But absolutely no spam.
02. Also, no advertising. It's okay to have your site linked to your name, but don't draw attention to it. And no flat-out advertising, like saying "Hey people come to my site!" or anything related to that.
03. Lastly, no cursing or fighting. This is not tolerated at all. You will be suspended for a day or two if this happens and if it continues being banned from the site is an option.
your admin,
swifty
