-- rules
[/center][/blockquote][/blockquote]• i'm sorry to say that every single site needs some sort of guidelines and rules to keep it in order. i ask that you read through every single rule in this thread and if you don't understand one feel free to contact taylor with your questions.i'm going to start with the one system. if you break a rule, it's one warning. break another rule it's your last warning. break a third and you're suspended for three days. disobey another and you're banned permanetly. the only time a warning & ban is forgotten is if it's not your fault.
• when signing up you may choose any name you like, as long as it isn't full of numbers and random letters. nothing that will hurt the eyes. however, when you have completed your application and you're waiting for it to be accepted you MUST change your display name to your character's first, middle and last all in uppercase. so for example, if your display name was Brooklyn Aimee Moore you would change it to BROOKLYN AIMEE MOORE. simple. also when you go away for a while you must put [AWAY] in your display name, personal message or signature as well as posting on the away board (located underneath ooc > general > absence.)
• you may have as many characters as you wish. however, for every three characters one must be male. try and keep the species and ages varied. you must keep them all active! i understand that you all have lives. however, i expect you to sign on at least once every three days (unless you're away) and you must also post two roleplaying posts every week. if you're gone for more than two weeks with no reason why posted on the absence board i may delete your account. however, i will save the application, plotting and threads in case you return and were unable to post on the absence board (a family member dying, etc.)
• there will be no bullying, homophobia, racism or sexism on this site and it will not be tolerated. if at anytime there is sufficent proof you've done one of the above, you will be banned immediately without no warning. i will not allow any cruetly or rudeness to members either. you treat each other with respect, something you should of learned how to do when you were younger. if you have a problem with somebody please contact mia instead of spamming up the forum and cbox with your needless arguments.
• you must have an icon and signature for your character. icons must be 100x100 and signatures CANNOT stretch the board. i have no maximum pixel length for your signature images but if i think they are too big i will ask you to remove and change them. you must have a human play-by: no anime or drawn images. and on top of that you must have a play-by, period. please remember to check and claim whether your play-by is free so there isn't any confusion among members.
• you will be given five days to complete your application, if extended time is needed contact mia by pm. all fields should be filled out completely (except where you cannot) and to the best of your ability. please keep all the tags and coding on your application otherwise i'll get pissy and ask you to redo the whole thing. try and be original with your characters! no mary-sue's or gary-stu's. even the supernatural aren't perfect.
• we accept all roleplayers on this forum, but you all must follow the same roleplaying rules. all posts (unless you really are badly struggling to meet the minimum) must have at least 250 words. of course, i don't expect you to count every single word but this site counts the words for you. your posts can be any amount of paragraphs as long as they follow the word minimum. please, please, please, please try and correct your spelling, grammar and punctuation. there is a spell check available in your normal reply's, and firefox has a built in one.
• this roleplay is not suitable for anyone under the age of thirteen. it's a supernatural rpg set in an academy with teenagers of all ages. there's going to be sex, drugs, alcohol and swearing. i'm warning you now: if you don't like it don't join. it's as simple as that. if you start to go into detail please post a warning in the thread title. not everyone will want to read your explicit content! obviously teenage pregnancies will be inevitable, but i do not want every other girl running around expecting a baby. contact mia if you wish for your character to become pregnant. this is the same for characters being killed off: obviously godmodding is not allowed, but if you've arranged for your character to be killed than you must check with me first so i can take you off the claims lists.
• i'd prefer it if you try and make your roleplaying posts pretty. do not use colours which are impossible to read in your posts, or images that stretch the board. saying that please make sure you have an avatar of your face-claim, signature is optional but must not stretch the board.okay, that's pretty much all the rules covered. congratulations if you've read through them all! thanks for joining -- BLOOMFIELD ACADEMY!
