Everyone please read ALL of the rules. I know everyone hates them, but every site needs them. They're for a reason.
First off, I'd like to explain why only two boards can be seen to guests. Unfortunately, due to the potential of some rather annoying pests, I've had to hide things so they can't be seen by them. But once you're registered, you're good as gold and you'll be able to see everything.
Everyone please read ALL of the rules. I know everyone hates them, but every site needs them. They're for a reason.
1. Once you have signed up, please remember to change your name to what you want it to be. Do this as soon as you can please.
2. Respect all staff. We have them for a reason, and no matter what, you need to respect what they do and say at all times. If you truly feel someone on staff is being unfair, you can talk to another staff member - CALMLY - about it. But remember, we’re here to enforce the rules and make things run smoothly. And if a member of staff says no, then don't go to another member and go behind their back to try and get it. We do talk. We do find out.
4. No 'flaming' anyone on the site. This means, no insulting anyone on this site, staff or not. Breaking this rule is a banning offence, and don't try it. This rule WILL be reinforced.
5. Never give a password to anyone. If someone needs a password, they need to ask a staff member, not you. If we find out that you have given someone a password, regardless of the situation, you will be given a warning. After that, it's termination time.
6. Do not give anyone's personal info out. This includes real names, ages, locates, anything. If they want that information out, they can do it themselves. We’d also prefer you didn’t give out anything on the board. If you really trust a person, do it via PM. Even if we know each other, we need to be careful. People can and have hacked boards like this, and it can leave to some horrible situations. So lets just keep it PM's please guys.
7. You are not allowed to have multiple accounts without getting permission from a member of staff.
8. There will be absolutely no spamming. This means in PMs, in threads, anywhere. There is an advertisement board created for that.
9. Harassing of any kind will not be tolerated. If you have a problem with someone or something that is being done, take it up with an admin. The use of derogatory jokes, remarks and comments are strictly not allowed. Negative remarks regarding race, sexual orientation or other such prejudices are covered by this rule. Like with the flaming, this is a banning offence.
10. Be literate and have good grammar please. No chat speak at all. You don't have to be the best speller, just don't misspell every other word. Spell check is also your friend!
Definition of Banning so there's no confusion. If you do anything illegal, like telling someone in a post how to gain access to pirated material, or anything else that either admin deems illegal, then this is a banning offence. Flaming and Harrasment is also a banning offence. Modifying a post after an Admin has changed it is something you can debate with said admin, but changing it without said debate = banning.
11. Absolutly no God-modding. God moding is controlling what another character does without their permission. We’ll have none of it unless you verify they said you could.
12. Be realistic. This is a world full of Daemons and monsters that have unbelivable powers. But not all Daemons are going to be able to kill a man at a glance, nor will every man be able to slay Daemons by the dozen.
13. Please post in third person. The only exception is when the character is talking or thinking.
bad ex. "I didn't know what to tell her. "I hate you!" I suddenly shouted aloud.
good ex. "He didn't know what to tell her. "I hate you!" he suddenly shouted aloud.
l to ensure we know you've read the rules, please put "Fateweaver" in your application l
13. HAVE FUN!
