the rules.
1). so guys, you know what to do and what not, but i got to lay a few ground rules okay? first one is, you must follow all the rules. if you don't, we will ban you. simple enough?
2). absolutely no racial, homophobic or pornographicmaterial on here. not only it is against pb rules, but it's absolutely disgusting and i will hurt you with all my adminly powers.
3). you have to use our template. sorry but that's the way you get in touch with your character. if you modify the template in any way shape or form, the staff will ask you to redo your bio.
4). after registering, your display name must be changed. it needs to be your characters first middle last name all in uppercase. if you can't figure out how to do this, just ask an admin. we can do it for you, but we would be happier if you could do this yourself.
5). you can reserve a face for7 days and you have only 5 days to complete your bio. if you don't, it will be moved to the denied section. then after 7 days, it will be moved into the archives, were if you so choose to restart the bio, you can PM a staff member to open the bio up again
6). this is a literate rpg and guess what, we do have a word count. our word count is set at 300 words - no exceptions! it's really easy to hit this quota, but if you can't, maybe you should look somewhere else. we don't expect you to write close to 1000 words like Mikey, but we would love if you could get close to the person's post before you. it sucks to write a 1000 word post and get a 120 word on back.
7.) no one is perfect, even a ms. perfect. so don't make your character perfect. it's booorrring.
8). if you want to be someone that is already taken, like jensen ackles or olivia wilde, then too bad so sad first come first serve. you can always ask the other person if you could be their twin, or you can pm an admin if that person has been inactive for a while.
9). please try to be active! it's depressing for a admin to create a beautiful site and then have it die do to neglect. don't worry, i'm not saying you have to be one 24 hours a day, but try to get on at least three times a week.
10). this site is pg-13. that means you should be of proboards user age (13) and be able to behave maturely. don't come in here and cause a rumpus.
11). you may have up to four characters to begin with. if you wish to create more, then pm an admin for permission. if we feel that you haven't been active enough with your other characters, we will deny you.
12). now for graphics. avvies can be no larger than 160x300 and siggies can be no larger than 500x450 if you stretch the board, you will die. all graphics must be that of a real person, so no anime, or manga, or graphic novel images. we would love if you have both as it's easier to imagine a character that way, and they just make the site look cool.
14). staffs word is, law! if they tell you to do something, like fix a bio, or remove a image just do it! we don't like back talk about how unfair it is. everyone who has something on their profile or bio that we don't like will have to fix it so your not alone. if you back talk, you will get a warning. guess what? 3 warnings and then your banned.
15). the iccbox is not relevant to the site meaning, if two characters get hitched in the ic that doesn't affect their status in the site world. the cbox and the site will remain separate as we actually want to have people post and not just rp their characters lives through the ic. that is a place for your characters to interact with other characters who you probably would never get to post with.
16). and of course, have fun! - that's what the site was made for.
