GENERAL RULES,
[/b] and make sure you stay active; by joining between order & madness, you're making a commitment.GENERAL RULES,
• stay away from excessive cursing; it's fine once in a while, but we don't want to see stupid fucking shit every other fucking damn word, fucking got it?
• listen to the staff. don't argue if a decision was made and definitely don't bug us about becoming a staff member. there's a time and place for it; not in the chat or via pm's.
• respect everyone, not just the staff because they're the bosses, but everyone else- no matter how much you don't care for them. the other members, guests and even yourself. no racial comments or prejudice please.
• avoid double-posting; the modify button is there for a reason (unless the thread was locked, of course, in which case you don't even have to worry about it) and spamming will get your ass kicked by the staff.
• your avatar/signature should only be of your character. sexual content in the image will result in the image being immediately removed by staff members, as well as potential punishment.
• signatures should be no bigger than 450 pixels in width; the height doesn't matter as long as it doesn't stretch down too much. we would prefer having icons over actual signatures, but that's ultimately up to you.[/ul]
CHARACTER RULES,
• mary sues/gary stus will be marked for revision. if they are: related to a canon character (soul, stein, arachne, etc., most of whom aren't even present in the continuity of o&m) or are else intrinsically tied to one; overly powerful; or obnoxiously nice in such a way that makes everyone around them shine with happiness, they will not be accepted until that part of their profile is fixed. the staff will let you know what the problem is.
• when you sign up for a character's account, make it relate to the character somehow. whether it be their first name, full name, a nickname of the character's -- whatever, just don't make it completely random like "omfgilu239874" or "animegurl999". after you have registered, change your display name to your characters name in first, last format in upper-case.
• post your profiles in the appropriate board, to save the staff from doing unnecessary work.
• do not post anywhere outside of the registration board until you are approved.
• your character MUST have a face claim from an anime, manga, or video game. using original art, deviantart images, or even your own art will not be accepted. sorry.
• variety is key; try not to make 3 characters that have the same qualities and try not to make too many characters in the same member group.[/ul]
ROLE PLAY RULES,
• be courteous and put labels in thread names; such as [open] or [closed]. here's a brief list of example tags.
» [open]/[o] : the thread is open and anyone can jump in. try to keep a good posting order.
» [closed]/[c] : the thread is closed, and you may only enter with the thread creator's permission.
» [reserved]/[r] : same as above.
» [invite only]/ : same as above, but more anal particular.
• no godmodding, no power playing, no meta playing, etc. we won't tolerate stuff like that.
• use some common sense when roleplaying; don't use l33t speak/chat speak and make some attempt to spell check for spelling errors/correct grammatical errors. typos are inevitable, bt whne very sntence l00ks liek this, it becomes an eyesore to read through.[/ul][/size][/style][STYLE=background-color: 0883a6; width: 430px; color: 2f2f2f;] .
