Every site has rules and we are no different. Potential members and members alike are advised to read through all the rules. All members are expected to abide by our rules when posting in our forums and viewing the website. If a rule is broken appropriate consequences will take place.
General Rules:
-No spamming, flaming, all that stuff. This is a banable offense.
-No attacking other members or guests.
-Keep all religious/political/other hot button issue topics off the boards.
-No sex, profainity, or excessive violence.
Character Rules:
-We are a goodbeast fort and we stick with the books about this. That means no vermin. Accepted species are: mice, badgers, voles, moles, shrews, otters, squirrels, hares, hedgehogs, rabbits, bats, beavers, hamsters and some birds.
-All members who desire to apply with a badger, rabbit, hamster, beaver, bat, or any species of bird must PM Lady Admin first and discuss the matter. The reason for this is these species are rarities in the books and we would like to preserve that rarity.
-No outrageous character traits. Glow in the dark fur, for example, will not be accepted.
-No plain/overused characters. We can’t all be orphans who are out for revenge on the vermin that murdered our families. We can’t all be crazy good with every weapon imaginable. We can’t all discover we’re royalty later in life. You get the picture.
Writing Rules:
-We are a literate roleplaying site, but we also accept beginners. What that means is that we do have a standard, but we’re willing to help people just starting out and give them a place to work towards improvement. We expect all our members to write in complete sentences, use correct spelling and grammar, and post at least four sentences per in character post.
-Along with being a literate site, we have expectations for character applications. Because your character is so important as your foundation for writing here at the site, we will only accept well written character profiles. However, we strive to turn no one away, and will gladly work with you to improve your character application until it reaches our standards (which are not ridiculously high).
-All posts are to be written in the third person. Example: She ran into the room and pounced on the plate of scones. Not: I ran into the room and pounced on the plate of scones. Not: *ran into the room and pounced on the plate of scones*
-Only write your own character. Sometimes, small autos are hard to avoid and even necessary, but use this sparingly and always be willing to go back and remove a tiny auto if you are asked. Also, two players will sometimes coordinate off-site on a post and one or more characters are heavily autoed with permission of the writers. If this is the case, please state so at the beginning of your post.
-If you start a thread then it is generally accepted that it is your duty to guide the direction it takes. Please be dedicated to all threads that you post in, but especially those that you have started. It’s always disappointing to reply to a thread only to watch it die or never be responded to.
Board Rules:
-No huge graphics in your signature.
-Keep OOC discussion to the OOC board.
-Advertise all you want—in the advertising section of our forums. Also, no advertising to inappropriate content.
Note: The rules may be tweaked, added to, or altered at any time. However, if this is done an announcement will be made on the main page.
