Yes, there are rules, as there will be on most, if not all, websites.
1: Do not spam. Spamming is posting something that is useless or posting over and over and over and over to the point where it's annoying.
EXAMPLE: Hi.
(new post) I'm Bob.
(new post) Who are you?
(new post) Is anyone there?
(new post) I like pie.
On and on like that is spamming. It's annoying to not only me, but to everyone else.
2: Advertise and Affiliate in the appropriate area. That would be the Advertise and Affiliate Board (Now, why would you put it there? I mean, the name makes no sense for that...) If you are advertising elsewhere, the advertisement/affiliate request will be deleted.
3: Post the right thing in the right place. There are Roleplaying boards, and there are OOC (out of character) boards. If you have to say something OOC in a roleplaying post, then put it in double paranthese ((TEXT)) <---- Like that.
1: NO harassment of other users, whether they're new, older, staff, your best friend, or anything else. You don't know these people (usually) in real life, so you don't know what their life is like away from the keyboard.
2: This is closely linked to rule 1. No racial descrimination, or any discrimation of any kind, for that matter. No one likes a bully, and if you make fun of them for who they are, it's just wrong. No one can help what they are, but we can all make the best of anything.
3:If you have a problem with someone, either PM that person with the problem or PM me (the admin), and we can try to sort it all out.
4: Follow Thumper's advice (If you don't know who Thumper is, you've never watched Bambi): If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all. This pretty much wraps up everything in this section.
1: NO god-moding at all. If you don't know what that is, it basically means that your character is indestructable/non-killable. Everyone is mortal on this site. Now, saying this, the character doesn't have to die in the first fight. They can get some injuries or something.
2: Don't make your character the one who is always badly hurt (Lose a limb, eye, etc.), either. There aren't always serious injuries.
3: You cannot kill someone else's character without their permission. If you do, the character that you used to murder theirs will be either deleted or killed. You have been warned.
1: Do not impersonate another member on the site. Not only is it annoying (to me, at least) but it also can confuse someone. They might need to tell the person you impersonate something private, and tell you by accident.
2: Do not spam. It's the same definition as above, and same example.
3: No name-calling. Some names can be more personal to others. They might have a relative who has a disability, and if you call them a retard (I hate that word), it might lead to a fued. Not good.
4: DO NOT ADVERTISE. If you have a site, then fine. Either leave it in the Advertise and Affiliate board or type them in the Email/URL box on the C-box, but don't post the link.
5: No Cussing. It's rude and offensive to some. If you can, instead of saying d**n, say darn or dang. Simple as that.
1: Your signature pictures should be small enough so that when you scroll to the very bottom of your sig (signature shortened), you should still be able to see your post. If you cannot, I'll fix it for you. This means that whatever is making your signature so big goes bye bye or is resized.
2: Please, in any picture/phrase you post, keep it clean. Very few (if any at all) cuss words, no showy/obscene pictures, and, for the sake of keeping arguements down to a minimum, nothing religious.
3: I have added a points system here named Gold Points. I know I didn't have this feature in Legendary Riders the First, but I just now found the code. It does disable karma, but this can be used as a better prize than just posts, no?
Anyway, getting to the point: Do not make posts, then delete them to raise your points count. If you are caught doing so, your points will be reset to 0, regardless of how many you had.
I know that rules can be a hassle (look at the person who had to type them... not fun). I thank you for reading down to this point, or at least I hope you did. Really, I do want everyone to have fun and meet new friends, but there have to be some restrictions or you would have more enemies than friends. Once again, thank you!!!!!!!
