rules!
general rules.
this means no explicit sexual content, no graphic depictions of violence, and no explicit use of hard drugs.
02. be respectful and civil.
we expect all of our members to be civil. we will not tolerate petty bickering, racism, sexism, homophobia, hatred, threats, hurtful name-calling, ect.
03. activity rules.
we would like for you to log into all of your accounts once a week. in addition, you should be posting at least once every two months on every character.
04. discord rules.
all of the above apply to our Discord server. rule 1 is relaxed on our nsfw members-only server.
application, account, & character rules.
01. all characters must be 18 or older.
face claims must be 18+ as well, and roughly match the age of your character.
02. powers & abilities.
each character can have either one ability, or two similar abilities. no character can be too overpowered. for more information, check out our power & ability rules.
03. applications can only be in WIP for 2 weeks. if they are not completed by then, we will warn you and eventually have to discard them.
04. you are allowed a maximum of 10 characters starting out. if you prove able to handle more, you can have more. if you can't maintain activity on all your characters, we will ask that you delete or retire some.
05. account names & images.
avatars should be 200x200px. signatures should not be more than 600px wide or 250px tall. your display name should be your character's first name, and your display name should be their first name in ALL CAPS. OOC accounts follow the same rule. one account per character, and one optional OOC account per player.
in character and post rules.
01. we have no word count.
we do ask that you do your best to match your partner's preferred length. whether this means posting more or posting less.
02. profanity should be somewhat limited.
we allow it, but prefer you don't go crazy. we do not allow racial slurs or other targeted language, even in character.
03. threads are considered abandoned if they sit longer than two weeks.
if you're threading with someone, we ask that you reply at least every two weeks. abandoned & completed threads will be archived.
04. drug use & sexual content.
as stated previously, we cannot allow explicit sexual content or the use of hard drugs on a Proboards forum. we do allow fades to black, smoking, and alcohol.
05. nsfw Discord IC cbox.
we offer two in-character cboxes, for shorter and quicker RPs, on our Discord. one is nsfw and is only open to members of our forum.
06. clique rules.
although we encourage you to make friends, we really want to see people mingle & thread with one another. if you only associate with a couple of our members and ignore the rest, we will have to warn you.
07. godmoding & power-playing.
generally speaking, this rule is to address situations where you control someone else's character without their permission. we do not allow controlling others' characters, being absurdly overpowered, using abilities outside of your characters' scope, ect.
