THE RULES Follow them, and we'll all get along great. :]
oo1. respect This is fairly obvious. Don't do anything that would offend anyone. Staff, members, new comers who are joining. Don't cuss continuously, and nothing that is racial, sexist, or anything along those lines.
oo2. Be literate Because we don't have a huge application for you to spend your time to fill out, we made a word count rule. At least 300 words for every role play post. Staff will be checking, so don't try to mess with us. Always spell check, and do no talk 'lyk d1s,' alright? I don't want to spend hours trying to decode you.
oo3. Be rational Try not to take up all the best portrayals. You can have a max of six characters as long as they are all active. You have a limit of playing 3 female character, but get this. If you create a girl, your next character has to be male. Trying to keep a realistic ratio here. There are plenty of male PBs out there. The reason for max of 3 female characters is because a lot of us just create a female character and leave it at that. You dont have to create another character, but if you want to create 6 male characters, we'll love you. lmao.
oo4. No Mary Sues No perfect characters. If anything, they are annoying. No total emo kids either. Everyone has flaws, but everyone is good at something. Be reasonable.
oo5. no god-modding You can only control your own character. That is what role playing is. If you want to control all characters, go write a book or something.
oo6. Proboards TOS Please follow the Terms of Service on Proboards. If you don't, they can automatically shut down a board, so be careful of your content.
oo7. Display names All i ask is that you have your first and last name in it, and its all correctly capitalized. You can add other stuff in it as long as its in the middle of the names or after the last name. Always have the first name first, just to help keep things organized. Please have your display name with your characters first and last name when you sign up, or we will not even look at your application. Alegra Bell - Good. alegra bell, ALEGRA BELL - bad.
oo8. Don't stretch the page Resize your graphic if it stretches them. In adverts and everywhere, if staff finds a stretched the page, they will either edit the text sizes, or removing IMG tags or BLOCKQUOTEs. Those tend to stretch pages as well.
oo9. Have variety Alright, since 'scene kids' are pretty popular these days, we will only be allowing one per person. If you are using Hanna beth Merjos already, then you cannot use Alex Evans or Jac Vanek. Try and create a variety of characters. In addition to this rule, your first character must be human, second can be a vampire. Then again a human and then a vampire. But you are allowed to make only two vampires! No more than that. (you cannot create more than one vampire. If you've created a vampire already, and feel like having another character, make a human. They're not boring, I swear. )
o10. Be original OK, your name can't be Brad Pitt or Edward Cullen. Absolutely not. Make your character unique. I know there is no application, so we can't make absolutely sure, but please. Don't try to use any names that were not created by you.
o11. Activity If you go inactive at the end of the month, you will be deleted. You won't be banned, however, so if you'd like to come back, and aren't too mad, then come back. We'll still love you. Its just that PBs are one thing that members consider before joining. I mean, just so you aren't hogging up a good PB without using them, you know? ♥
