1) You will love Laurel and any other admin with all your heart no matter how bitchy or weird we may be. We smexy admins have lives believe it or not, so it might take us awhile to get around to things at times, okies. If you want to remind us about something, great because we do forget. Remember though, there is a difference between reminding and being all like 'Hey Laurel, hurry up and reply to my effing application or I'll shoot you'. It's rude and pisses us off.
2) Courtesy. I get that you might have a problem with 'Bobby' on here, but don't go all crazy on him. If a member on here is bothering you, pm an admin and we will try to take care of it. The only time you are allowed to flip out on someone on here, is in character. Along with that, remember that RL, OOC, and IC, are different. Don't yell at someone for something they did in character, out of character. Gots it? [Yes, gots it. I may be the only one who gets away with improper grammar cuz I'm cool like that. ]
3) This site is rated MATURE, but I would highly appreciate if ... 'graphic' threads would be marked somehow in the title. I'm not going to go around checking to make sure that all 'graphic' threads are marked though, so if you read something that corrupts your mind, don't blame me/us. Also, I know that rape, murder, death, pregnancies, etc. happen in real life and I am allowing them for the time being. However you MUST pm an admin asking permission and have the permission of ALL characters involved. If the violence gets to extreme or happen too often, it won't be allowed at all.
4) Swearing is allowed on this site, but don't be dropping the F bomb every other word....that annoys the hell out me.
5) Mary-Sues/Gary-Stu's are evil. If you are trying to get an admin really fucking pissed, make one, but I warn you, we aren't pleasant when we are angry. Look, we can't all be Edward Cullen's, and believe it or not, even popular cheerleaders have flaws. Teenagers who are like abused don't go around like the world is made of sunshine and rainbows, m'kay.
6) Word Minimum.I decided to be nice and only make it 200, but writing more than that would be great. It really isn't that hard to cough out at least an 200 word post when you are descriptive. Occasional posts lower than that I can deal with, but make it a habit, and I will eat you. NO ONE LINERS!
7) You will post in third person, and you will like it.
8) The almighty, amazing ProBoards provides this little magical button every time you post. It's called *insert drum roll please* SPELL CHECKER! Use it!
9) Since we are all just wonderful, we will all use proper grammar and English. ' I; thinked. tha't u em' is, stupideded;!?.! ' is NOT acceptable in any way whether you think it is funny or not! ' I think that you are stupid! ', is.
10) Don't post until you are accepted, have posted in the face claim, and have posted a relationship plot for your character.
11) Face Claims come on a first come first serve basis. You can't use anime or anything like that for your PB, period. I have never seen like Pokemon looking people walking down the street. It's just unrealistic.
12) Avatars must be 100x100, no bigger or smaller. Signatures can't stretch the boards or you will be asked to remove them. *password is 'american kids don't say jam'* If you don't remove them, we will. no questions.
13) You can have as many character as you like, but all must be acive or they will be deleted. If you are a person that as like zero free time, don't have three billion characters. You may only have one character per account, and have an equal ratio between them. For example, don't have seven characters who are all females in the same clique and grade, but have 3 females and 4 males (or vice versa) who vary in cliques and grade.
14) Activity. Please try to get on at least once a week. More is of course better, but I know that some people are busy. Each month we will have an activity check, which you had better post in or say bye bye to all your charries. If you are going away or aren't going to be able to get on for a while, post in the Absence board so we know and won't delete you.
15) Your display name should be your character's first and last name in this format: Jennifer Samuals. You see? No symbols, no up and down text, just First Last. And when you post your appilication, the title should be LAST, First Middle. Oh, and make the names original, but not like extremely bizzare. I don't want to see anyone named Rosalie Hale, nor to I want to see an Apple Smith. It is just wierd, and you won't get accepted.
16) Don't spam. We don't like it. Other Members don't like it.
17) Don't post like a billion and seventy-four times in a row in the c-box! Don't fight in the c-box! Don't advertise in the c-box! Don't pretend to be someone else in the cbox! And if this stuff happends regularly, cbox will go bye bye and those causing the problems will too.
18) Stealing is mean. *add 'they say jelly' to the password*You don't want to be a meanie? Don't steal. End. Of. Story.
19) Can you make razor sharp baldes come out of your fingertips? No, you can't, and neither can your character. They are human. Alright? They don't have special powers or like these messed up health conditions. I can deal with a few health conditions and disablities, but lets not make half of the town blind, deaf, and/or mute. Again, unrealistic.
20) Enjoy your sexy little asses on here! Oh, and as admin's, we have the power to eat, ban, and/or stomp on you like a bug if you break these rules. But, follow them, and we will heart you times 100.[/ul]
