The staff reserve the right to add any new rules whenever they chose to do so.
GENERAL
> Respect everyone - your fellow members and the staff.
> Discrimination and bigotry will not be tolerated.
> Do not post links to anything inappropriate, including websites, pictures, and videos.
> No plagiarism, including pictures, writings, graphics, etc. If you did not make it, do not say you did and credit the person who did.
> Do not ask to be a part of the staff unless their is a spot open. We require members of our staff to have experience as staff on other sites.
> This site is PG-13, and as a member, you are expected to keep it so. Disobeying this rule also disobeys Proboard's TOS and can get the site deleted.
POSTING
Please note that we are an intermediate to advanced role-play site.
Please note that we are an intermediate to advanced role-play site.
> The in character word count is 200 words. We have a plugin that counts your words and will not allow in character posts of less than 200 words. Exceptions include the Communication and Rapid Fire boards.
> No god-moding, meta-gaming, or power playing. Do not take control of someone else's character unless they have explicitly given you permission to do so.
> Use proper grammar and spelling. It's easy to check your spelling. You're allowed to go back and edit post.
> Posts are to be written in third person point of view and past tense.
> Like stated under General, this site is PG-13. Thus all in character and out of character posts must be kept "safe for work" or else we risk violating Proboard's TOS.
> Do not post in character until after your application has been reviewed and accepted by a member of staff.
> Post with a posting order. A posts then B posts then C posts, etc. If you need to skip someone to keep the thread alive, talk it over with them (it's polite) and/or leave a note in your post, letting us know. Posting orders will be stricter with threads that fall under one of our special thread type categories.
CHARACTERS
> This site is next generation Marvel Comics role-play. This means that both original and canon characters are allowed.
> Each character must have their own account. There may be some exceptions. If you think you may have an exception, discuss it with the head admin, Anna.
> All characters are free. There's no post requirement to create a new character.
> There is no limit to the amount of characters a member is allowed to have. Just make sure you can handle the amount you have.
> You are allowed to reserve one canon character or face claim at a time.
> Character's display names must be their first and last names.
APPLICATIONS
> Everything in the application must be filled out.
> You may post an incomplete application, just add WIP somewhere in the title.
> Check the canon claim and face claim lists before applying for a character to make sure they aren't already taken.
> Do not nag the staff to review your finished application. Just politely let them know it's finished and they will take a look when they get the time. Unfortunately even the staff have lives.
> If your application is not accepted, make the necessary changes that a member of staff has sent to you via personal message.
> Do not change or add coding to the application.
GRAPHICS
> You can find out the size of the graphics, and request some as well, in the graphics request thread.
> All graphics must be kept appropriate.
> Signatures are allowed, just make sure they don't stretch the board. Make them no wider than 500.
ACTIVITY
> If you're going to be absent for more than a couple days or your usual activity is going to be affected by something, let us know in the absence board and make sure to include which characters your absence affects.
> If you miss an activity check but have posted in the absence board, your characters will be saved during that check.
> It is preferred if you post at least once a week with each character.
C-BOX
> There is only one chatbox on this site and it is out of character. Keep your alias and avatar appropriate.
> Respect members, staff, and guests in the chats.
> Do not advertise for your site in either of the chats.
> No discrimination or bigotry.
