The Rules

[iMAGE]

OK, before you get into reading the rules...make sure you read ALL of it. I will NOT tolerate anyone who breaks the rules because they are written here for you to read AND follow. Not for show...I took the time to do these rules and you should take the time to read them.

1. First off...this website is rated at least PG-13 as a warning... We have battles, blood, and things could get mature in a thread. Of course, there will be NO graphic things here due to the fact that we could be shut down by the proboards staff. If you would like to go into detail and such...do it in message (aka pm). Do NOT start talking about sex and such in the c-box or anywhere on the boards if you aren't in character form. Just...don't...

2. Keep cursing to a minim... If the staff find a thread full of too many curse words we will warn the member and will NOT warn them again. You will only get one warning and if you want to make sure that there isn't too many curse words message one of the staff to see if they think it is fine. Try and use freaking or something instead of the actually word 'f**king'. We really don't come here to read anymore cursing...

3. Spamming and advertising... Ok, the members can go nuts and chat with anything really (unless the staff say otherwise) in the chatting boards and that's ALL. No more...or it will be counted as spamming! I really hate it when people spam around a site...it's really idiotic and I won't give you a warning for it. Advertising...there's a board called the 'advertising board' maybe you've heard about it? Yeah...ONLY ADVERTISE IN THE ADVERTISING BOARD! That's what it was made for and DO NOT MESSAGE PEOPLE TO JOIN YOUR FORUM EITHER!

4. If you wish to relax and have fun here than that's what we want! All we really ask is that everyone uses effort in the posts they make here...we do not want someone who is lazy and won't even write one complete sentence let alone a paragraph. All we really ask for at least a paragraph. Don't forget to spell check!

5. We do allow same gender (sex) relationships and really don't care if you don't want them on the website. If you don't like them, than don't READ them in the first place. So, we also want to let you know that we ask those who do have characters with a same sex relationship to warn us in the subject or before you even start the post in teal or a color that catches your eye but doesn't blind us. Some examples could be; [BL], [GL] in the subject. If you decide to post before your own post than have something like this in teal (or another color); WARNING! This thread/post contains love with a same sex relationship...if you do NOT like to read those kind of things than please do NOT read past this point. Or something close to that. ,3

6. With accounts we would like it if you had one account per character...along with signing up with a username of either their last name or first name. Only post with that character on that account! For example; Ryouichi has an account of his own and I will ONLY post threads that involve Ryou in that account. I will NOT post in Ryouichi's account using another one of my characters, Ikki.

7. Along with the sixth rule, we do NOT want you to have a display name like; 'animeluver8276735'. Please do NOT have symbols in your display name either... Have only your character's name; if it is their first name, last name, or even a nic-name of theirs. If anyone fails to follow this rule, it would be a hint that you didn't even read them. The staff will ask you to change it before you can roleplay.

8. Powerplaying and Godmodeling are two things we do NOT allow. Do NOT even try it unless you have permission. Please also, if you see that someone has done either of these two please do contact one of the staff members and do NOT try and handle it yourself. That is only one way to get into a heated argument and get yourself and whoever was powerplaying/godmodeling banned. Powerplaying is when you take someone's character and say your character did damage to them. For example;

Bob hit Billy upside the head and killed him.

A good way to do it would be;

Bob aimed at Billy's head, trying to kill him with all his strength.

You all should know what both of them mean, but if you don't...contact a staff but if they aren't on try asking a member. ,3

9. There is NO such thing as a perfect person, so there isn't going to be any perfect people on here either. Sure this might be a fantasy-like forum...but we do have realistic parts along with it. We have our own fantasy creatures that I, and the staff, have worked hard on creating. Please only use those creatures here as well, we don't accept any other creatures not listed and we don't want to see any of the creatures off this website!

10. What a staff member says should be followed without back-talk or question. If you fail to follow the staffs orders, the admin will look into the problem and pick out a fair punishment. Do NOT get angry at the staff or the admin for doing this...it was your fault in the first place for not following a few rules.

11. Everyone is limited to only four characters at a time! Please message the admin if you would like to create a character after you have reached the limit and she will decide upon the active of your other characters. This rule is only taking place just to get more members onto the site without taking all of the good face claims.
- - THIS RULE ONLY TAKES PLACE ON AND AFTER MARCH 3RD OF 2009. IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN FOUR CHARACTERS BEFORE MARCH 3RD THAN YOU ARE FINE.

12. After deleting one of your characters, you can NOT create another character until a month has pasted. This is to keep characters onto the site and to have no one drop anymore characters. This does NOT include one of your character's dying and you replacing them with a new one...but you MUST have a link to the thread in which your character dies to do so. Another option is to put your character up for adoption and have another interested member roleplay them. However, they are still YOUR character until another member takes them off of your hands.

13. To try and get as many people as possible in the main plot, you can ONLY have ONE plot character at a time. Once the main plot is completed and there is another plot you would like to tryout for, you may. But only one character please... This includes staff as well!

If you do have any questions, please do ask them. XD Along with suggestions and anything that I should add. I know I'm probably forgetting something, but I hope I'm not. ,3 Anyway, Thank you very much for joining Sinner and I hope you enjoy it!

- Fate.
