• •First thing's first: The Admins word is final. What they say, goes, and they only come down on rule breakers for the good of the site, so please listen to themmm!
• • Respect your fellow members at all times. Manners cost nothing, right? (This applies to the cbox, too.)
• • Anybody under the age of 13 will have to come back when you're a bit older. Sorry guys and girls, but Proboards would have our head on a stick.
• • They would also kick our butt if any of the content on here was too mature. It's meant to be PG-13, by Proboards standards, so please keep all swearing, overly graphic, violent, and sexual content to a minimum, please. Fade to black if necessary.
• • There is no limit to how many characters you can have on here, so long as you can keep up with them all, and keep them all active. If the Admins think you are struggling with this, you may be asked to drop a few, so please keep this in mind.characters
• • Mary Sue's/Gary Stu's aren't welcome here. Perfect, flawless characters just aren't realistic, are they?
• • Three little words: NO. GOD. MODDING. Thankyaverymuch. Basically, controlling other people's characters without their permission isn't big, and it isn't clever. So please don't do it.
• • We'll be doing activity checks regularly, and if you haven't posted in an RP thread (games and OOC threads don't count) for two weeks, you should be worried. Anybody who doesn't respond to activity checks will be deleted. It would be a good idea to try and get online at least twice a week.rping
• • We are a literate roleplay site, here at Owl Post. Proper grammar, and spelling, would be much appreciated. There's a spell check button on here to help you out, so please do your best to keep the standards high around here.
• • We have a minimum word requirement of 250. You can go over this as much as you want, but posts with less than this are not acceptable. 250 is not very much in reality, so you shouldn't have too much trouble with it.
• • Replying to a thread with just one line of action or dialogue will result in said reply getting deleted. It's not acceptable RPing. You should at least try to match the other people in your threads for effort. E.g If someone begins a thread with a 500 word post, and you reply with three sentences, it's not going to be a very good thread, is it?
• • Spamming.... *shakes head* Don't do it. If we see people posting (especially in RP threads) with something completely unrelated to the topic, evil glares are going to be thrown about. Seriously.
• • Also, double posting (e.g posting in a thread, and then replying again straight after yourself) is frowned upon. *frowns upon it* See.... >
• • On the subject of tagging threads, it's kinda handy, and might be an idea to put [open] or [o] in a thread that anyone can join in. Or if you're planning an RP with someone specific, tag [their name] in the title. It's pretty helpful for people looking for threads to join. =)graphics
• • You MUST have an avatar and signature. If you're struggling to find some, or don't know how/lack the resources to make them, we have a graphics board here where you can post requests. Our Graphics Team will love you for it.
• • All images must be of real people. So no cartoons or drawings or anything, please.
• • Sizes: Avatars should be no larger than 175px (wide) and 250px (tall). Signatures no bigger than 500px (wide) and 300px (tall). Any images bigger than this will be removed or you will be asked to resize them, as they stretch the boards in an unsightly way.All rules are subject to change.
