THE RULES
first of all, let me start by saying that i would really appreciate it if you read the rules and not just skimmed them. i took the time to write them, so you can take the time to read them. i understand they are long. most of you know the proboards rules, so follow those and the rules below and things will run super smooth.
001. when registering please register with a name that you are going to remember. after joining, simply change the display name to your characters first middle and last name in all capital letters before posting anything that is required. we don't really have a ratio rule because not everyone can play male characters, but please try to keep the ratios even! be sure that when you are posting your application you post it with the proper heading, if not it will be denied. the admins have all the right to delete members and deny applications. if a denied application is not active within twenty-four hours it is archived. please when joining, we would like it if all characters were 18 +. it makes it easier, since we do not have a high school board or group. i understand if this is a stupid rule but it's my rule, sorry. please be sure that the moment you are accepted you post in the claims, it is crucial that you do that. you have twenty four hours to post in the claims. otherwise, the claim is opened up for another member, it is only fair. we hold reserves for three days and three days only.
002. activity is crucial to making a site succeed, so please post. the admin's do check how active their members are and that does not mean signing in then signing out. we cannot have someone hogging up a play by. its simple, stay active and stay a member. we will be monitoring how active you keep your characters. if we notice there has been no activity for 5 days without notification, (this means logging into your account) your character will be placed as inactive. in this case, you will have 2 days to pm an admin stating whether or not you will be keeping said character. at that point, you will be taken off inactive status, or archived. we don't have a word count here but that doesn't mean you can make one sentence posts, please try to match what your role playing with. if you become inactive as a member, the admins have every right to lock up all your posts and archive your character.
003. we do not want the site to get iced due to lack of following the proboards rules. with that said, we all know the proboards rules of conduct so please follow them. if your character is planning on getting pregnant / dying please let the admin know. we have the right to approve and deny any type of major plot like that. if your characters are getting married, or having more children please let us know! when pregnant, a character cannot just fast forward they must stay pregnant for the full nine months. also, when getting married and or divroced they must follow the procedures. we cannot have an engagement thread and then the next day a wedding thread, most weddings take time to plan, so plan it.
004. we do not accept any type of e-star such as lauren cyrus and freida rose. sorry, its just not going to work. we will accept models such as victoria's secret models, but no models that no one really knows about, it just confuses and makes it harder to make graphics. as for graphics, please do not stretch the boards. your signature can consist of images of your choice but nothing inappropriate. as for board images, do not stretch them, the image will be removed. be sure that if your play by is a twin to let the admins know so we can notify it on the claim board! we hold reservations in the face claim for three days. please try to match the pb's real age by three years. if you use miley cyrus and make her a twenty seven year old woman it will be denied, sorry. also, if you are unsure of a claim, the admins will do a search on said play by, if they cant find any popular images of them, or they feel its impossible to use this person they have the right to deny the face claim you request.
005. we have a zero-tolerance policy. if you do not respect the admin and the members of this site you are gone. PLEASE CREDIT ALL THAT YOU TAKE. we do not tolerate any type of bullying, it is as plain and simple as that. please respect the rules of the site, it takes a lot of time for us to actually sit down and to type all these things up, and i'm sure there are plenty of things we forgot, but please do not ignore them it's just rude. any type of graphic that needs to be credited, please please please credit it! if we find anyone stealing it will result in a ban from the site and a character deletion. disrespect and theft are not tolerated here at this site so don't do it. cbox also falls under respect. do not bash the site, the members or the admin. we have the right to take away the cbox as well as the ic cbox, so just don't ruin it for the whole site.
006. if you took the time to read the rules, thank you and welcome to the site. if you simply skimmed over and are just reading this last paragraph lets hope you are ready to try and impress the admin because the rules are something we take very seriously here. any questions pm lauren or any of the other admins and an answer will be to you within 24 hours! we are a family here at girls like you and we are here to help with any problems you have, hope you enjoy your time with us! xxoo
