[QUOTE=(Warning System)][U][B]II's Warning System[/B][/U]

First Offense: Reminder by a PM or a note in a post; no real punishment.
Second Offense: A PM sent and a warning.
Third Offense: A PM sent, temporary suspension for 5-7 days.
Fourth Offense: Suspended for a month.
Fifth Offense: Banned.

Steps may be skipped depending on which rule was broken. Depending on the rule, steps may be skipped to an immediate ban, or a suspension.

[b]NOTE:[/b] Swearing isn't allowed here. AT ALL. Not even small words. So if you don't agree to this, sorry, this rule isn't being changed. There are younger users here that don't need to see some not-so-nice words.

[b]NOTE TWO:[/b] If you are banned, do not come back! You were banned for a reason, and whether you like it or not, you're not getting a second chance. Don't come back with another IP or e-mail, because if you do, that will be banned as well. Nobody likes people that whine, and you're only embarrassing yourself by doing it.
You will also be banned in the chat box, so if you start posting in the chat box again, you'll be banned from there as well.

[b]NOTE THREE:[/b] It took me a while to make these rules. If you wish to use these rules, PM me, and I'll tell you whether you may or may not. If I allow you to, all I ask is that you put a little note saying that I made them. But if I don't allow you to, sorry, but you're going to have to make your own. If I find out that you took them without my permission, I will NOT be happy...[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=(General Posting Rules)][u][b]General Posting Rules [/b][/u]

1. No swearing! We will not tolerate any bad words here at all. There are younger people on here, and I'm sure that they and their parents do not wish to see any bad language. If you are found with dollar signs in your post (the word filter), you will receive a warning, whether or not that word can be made out. You will also be given a warning if you try to get around the filters. I understand that we all have a slip of the tongue now and then, but it shouldn't be too hard to not use those words.
If anyone has any question about what else would or would not be allowed, just PM an admin or a mod.
This rule goes for in character and out of character.

2. No inappropriate images or posts. There are to be no pornographic images (or almost pornographic, or anything that implies it), or links to a site that shows such images. If this rule is broken, there will be no warnings; automatic ban. None of us want to see that kind of stuff.
Your characters are allowed to kiss, hug. Nothing farther than that at all (nothing farther, nothing implying that they went farther, or were about to go farther, etc.). If you do this, YOU WILL BE BANNED. I don't care if it was an accident. Break this rule, and you are GONE.
This rule goes for in character and out of character.

3. Please remember these two sayings: 'Treat others as you want to be treated' and 'If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all'. If you are rude to another member, then you will be warned. Your characters are allowed to be rude to other characters, but not the person playing the character. If I catch anyone fighting over ANYTHING, you will be warned. It's not hard to be nice.
This rule goes for out of character.

4. No spamming. This means don't double post (unless necessary) and don't post worthless posts (posts just saying 'hi', or '...', or just having a smilie in them). There is a special subforum set up in the games forum just for spamming, but it is not to take place anywhere out of that thread.
This rule goes for in character and out of character.

5. Please post appropriately. What I mean by this, is, don't post in all lower case, ALL CAPITALS, lIkE tHiS, or l!c3 +h!s. It only takes a few extra minutes to spell out your post. Also, please do your best to use punctuation, spelling, and grammar; I won't give you a warning if you don't use punctuation/spelling/grammar properly, but you will most likely be asked to try a little bit harder.

6. Don't PM people a thousand times in a row. They'll reply when they can, don't rush them. None of us like to come online and find that we have over 10 PM's from the same person asking us to hurry up and reply and 'are you still there?'.

7. Don't join just to join. It's annoying having users that never come online. So, only join if you're going to be active. If something comes up, please let us know. We won't delete your account if you're gone, but it would be appreciated if you let us know so we don't get angry or concerned.

8. About becoming a mod. PLEASE don't ask us(Jessica Lei, Jasmine Heart) to become a mod. It's a little bit annoying to be asked, and asked, and asked all the time. Besides; if you ask, we might not make you one. We'll only ask those that are responsible, mature, will take care of the site, and that we are sure will not abuse the power. There will be more about this in the FAQ.

9. About advertising: I don't have a problem with it. There is a forum made for you to post site links, and you can do so, AS LONG AS THE SITE IS APPROPRIATE!! No R rated sites, please, or sites that allow sexual scenes, or LOTS and LOTS of swearing ((some is alright, but not a lot!!)). This goes with asking to be an affiliate as well. You'll just get banned eventually if you post sites like that, or ask Allie or myself to affiliate sites like that. There is a section in your profile to put links, and I don't have a problem if you put a link in your signature. All I ask, is that you DON'T join this forum just to advertise a site. And don't beg people to join your site... that's just plain annoying. [/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=(Role Play Rules)][u] [b]Role Playing Rules [/b][/u]

1. No Godd-modding. Please don't make your character all powerful, or never get hit. You need to remember reality. It's not fair to play that way, and if you are found doing so, you will be given a warning.

2. No power playing. The playing of other peoples characters is confusing and quite annoying, so don't do it. This is also not fair, and if you are found even doing minor things, you will be given a warning.

3. Don't have your character commit suicide. No one wants to see a suicide thread, or anything else like that. If you don't want your character anymore, then please post in the 'Character Recycling' forum. However, characters dying in battle or something is fine. Also, please don't kill another character without their permission. If a suicide thread is found, it will be deleted and you will be given a warning.

4. Please, please, please, do not make your character perfect. We all have our flaws. There is no such thing as 'the most beautiful person in the world' or the 'positively best personality', or something like that. These are called Mary-Sue's/Gary-Stu's, and they too are not fair, or fun, to play with.

5. About powers. NOTHING TOO POWERFUL. I can't tell you what is too powerful, since it really depends on the character, but be realistic; no one is going to have a thousand powers. And remember, they're in a school to learn how to control their abilities. I don't think they'll be masters at everything just yet. If a character is found to be too powerful, an admin will let you know. Also, if there is too little information, you will be told. Also, please tell us what your character can do with their powers -- for example, if your character has control over the element of fire, tell us what they can do with it. Just go into a little bit of detail.

6. About post length... we know that it can be hard to come up with things sometimes, it happens to us all. However, we would appreciate it if you could write a paragraph or more in each post, so it's easier to reply to things and people aren't all that stumped. Now, to us, paragraphs are THREE WELL WRITTEN SENTENCES or more. The least your post can have is three well written sentences, unless you really can't think of anything. It's not that hard to do. And please make that in your character; at least three sentences for appearance, personality, and history.
If you just CANNOT think three well written sentences, please at least make it replyable to.

7. Violence. As stated earlier, this site is rated PG. I know that it's hard sometimes to avoid RP fights, and that it's kind of fun and keeps things from getting boring, but no one wants to read about all this blood and gore. A little mention of blood and wounds is all right, but please don't get too into detail. We don't want anyone here to get sick from reading too much gore... so please try and keep it down to a level suitable for all ages to read. So, violence and fighting is fine, as long as you don't go too into detail about things. If this rule is broken, an admin will either ask you to edit your post or edit it themselves. [/QUOTE]
