GLOBAL SITE RULES
These rules apply to every Out-Of-Character aspect of the site. By using the site, you are agreeing to these rules.
The Golden Rule of the site is that it's less about
what you say, and more about
how you say it. Constructive criticism is allowed, but bashing other members is not. We don't have strict rules on swearing, but cursing someone out or insulting your fellow RPers will likely get you banned. Use common sense, respect the other users, and enjoy the site! Now, on to the more technical rules:
1. Don't be a jerk.
Remain civil and respectful at all times, towards all members. Do not troll, flame, or spam. If another member is flaming or insulting you, keep your cool and remain calm. Report the offensive post(s) if necessary. Do not get into a heated argument, and do not flame or insult him/her back. Adding fuel to the fire is just as bad as starting it, and "S/he started it!" isn't a valid excuse for breaking the rules. Bigoted comments towards race, religion, gender, or sexual preference are not allowed.
2. Posting of inappropriate or pornographic images or text - including in your avatar or signature - is not acceptable behavior.
Usernames may not contain racial, sexual, or vulgar terms.
3. Advertising.
Do not make topics advertising websites, or post links or banners to commercial websites in your signature. Text-only links to personal websites or blogs are allowed, however.
4. Piracy is illegal.
Requesting or posting links to illegal download sites or other pirated media is forbidden. Do not plagiarize, copy, or steal someone else's work, be it from someone on this site or another.
5. Do not attempt to impersonate other members.
6. Do not post private information about another person without their permission.
7. Do not create duplicate topics, even if you think the original is in the wrong board. If it is, we will move it.
