IN CHARACTER RULES
~Please keep everything PG-13. A few mature threads are fine, but please put a warning in the title if it becomes inappropriate. There will always be someone younger than thirteen on a site, so please keep that in mind as you role play.
~Make sure everything is spelled correctly and has proper grammar. I understand that sometimes you're in a rush to finish a post, but please at least try to use Microsoft Word to assist you. I find it easier if I type something up using a Word document, that way my computer tells me if I made a typo, or if I have a grammatical error. No one is perfect, though we may like to think that, so using extra help is always useful.
~Post at least three well-written paragraphs, but please don't write more than six. We're not typing a novel here, so keep everything descriptive, yet fairly short and to the point. Taking a whole paragraph to illustrate brushing your hair is almost useless and annoying. Just write exactly what you have to write, not too much more than that.
ACCOUNT RULES
~Once your character is accepted, please change your display name to your characters first and last name, no capitals, just 'bella swan' or 'edward cullen'. Please also refrain from using silly doodads in a name as it looks out of order and a little childish.
~I don't mind if your signature has more than one picture or some text, but please make the picture look fairly nice, and keep it from stretching the page. Also, having a signature that is so long that everyone has to scroll down so far to get to the next post is annoying. All signatures should be no more than 450 pixels wide and 300 pixels high.
~Please don't sign up, create a character, then never come back. If you join, you must create a character within a week or you will be deleted. To get extended time, please PM me with a reason why you can't create your character within the appropriate time frame. If it's a pathetic excuse, don't count on your account being saved.
OUT OF CHARACTER RULES
~Don't spam. It's actually annoying. Honestly, when someone posts spam it makes the whole site look terrible. Double posting will also be counted as spam. If you need to change something, just press the 'modify' button. Trust me, it works.
~Please don't hurt anyone's feelings. Constructive criticism is enjoyed, but don't be rude about it. If you have a problem with someone or something, please just tell them via PM and sort it out nicely. If there are any huge conflicts between members out of character, don't hesitate to PM me and I will help you.
~Finally, when you create your character, please post 'forever' in the designated spot to prove that you read all of the rules.
