Rules & Guidelines
[/size]Yes, the rules can be a bit annoying, but please read them anyway; we tried to keep them short and simple. Any questions, comments, or concerns can be PMed to a staff member
the basics;;
01. Treat others as you would like to be treated. It's the 'golden' rule for a reason.
02. If you're going to be gone for more than five days, please let us know that you'll be absent by posting in this board.
03. Try to use proper grammar and spelling as much as possible. Do not 7yP3 L1k3 7h15.
in character, posting, & threads;;
01. There is no wordcount, but we do encourage lengthy posts. You don't have to write a novel, but one-liners are not okay. Try to post at least one solid paragraph. An ideal post would be 2-3 paragraphs. It's true that quality comes before quantity, though, so if you can only get a few really golden sentences in one post, that's fine
02. Even if your character is the meanest kid on the block, don't get carried away with things that your character says or does to other characters
03. No Mary Sues, for the love of god. (More information can be found here
04. We would like you all to create new threads for new events, instead of replying to old threads. This will help keep things organized, especially with threads that are active over the course of more than one sitting.
05. Your character can be in as many 'liquid time' threads as you like (liquid time meaning one person can post at 10am monday, the next person at 7pm monday, and the first person again at 2pm tuesday, etc.), but keep in mind that it's hard to keep track if you have a hundred threads. Thread trackers are helpful in keeping track of your and other character's threads.
the school;;
01. Doors must be open if there's a boy/girl in a girl/boys room.
02. You may go into the city Friday-Sunday and on Vacations. If you need to go on a weekday ask either HM for permission.
03. There is a room in the back of the Main Building's fourth floor. Going near/inside/touching anything around this room is forbidden to students. Punishments will be severe.
04. Curfews are as follows:
- You may not leave your hall before 5 AM in the morning.
- Sunday through Thursday nights, you must be in your Hall by 9 PM, in a room of your gender by 10 PM, and in your room by 11 PM.
- On Fridays, Saturdays, and during vacations, everything is pushed back an hour. So; In your Hall by 10 PM, in a room of your gender by 11 PM, and in your room by 12 PM.
- You may only go into the city on weekends (including Friday after classes), and must follow the aforementioned curfews.
images;;
01. Please keep all images appropriate in content. No nudity or anything suggestive of sex, drugs, or alcohol.
02. Keep them all to an appropriate size- nothing obnoxiously tall or wide.
c-box;;
01. Keep everything you say appropriate. Be aware that words are powerful and its hard to convey certain tones, such as sarcasm, through text.[/size]
02. No offensive, homophobic, sexist, or racist remarks. They will not be tolerated.
03. The spamming and flooding of the C-box is not tolerated, nor is the feeding of the trolls.
At present, we do not have the Warning System enabled. However, repeated disregard for the rules by any one member may cause that to change. Please follow the rules, they're here for a reason. If you have a problem with a particular member, please contact a staff member and we can work, as a group of three, to eradicate the problem, or at least come to a healthy compromise.
-your lovely admins
