Of course, like any other site, we have our rules, and if you don't follow them - you will get a warning. After thee warnings, a ban from the site is next.
Out of Character Rules
1. Respect everyone, especially my staff. I put them up as staff for a reason. I trust them with my site, so you should at least respect them. 2. From now on, there is a character limit. It's in the best interest of the site to do so because so many people are taking on way too many characters, plus, it's a way to try and regulate. From now on, in order to have a second character, you need to have at least 50 posts or more. For a third character, you will have to have at least 100 posts on both accounts, and for any more, you will need to PM a member of staff. 4. Activity is a must. If you have to go away, just let the staff know and you one be deleted from the site. There will be activity checks, please don't miss those. 5. No spamming!Advertising can only, and only be done in the Advertisements Board. 6. All the e-mail addresses must be activated.
In-Character Rules
1. Don't post anywhere on the site except the OOC boards if you haven't been accepted yet. The more information you give in your application, more likely you will be accepted. But, your application will be reviewed within 24 hours for sure. 2. Your display name cannot be something weird like ‘missyxlove123’ or something. It must be your characters first and last name, or maybe middle name, but that's up to you. 3. Please, no Mary-Sues and Average Joes. Everyone is different and no one is perfect. 4. Play Bys must be celebrities. No anime, or infamous people, unless it's like Hanna-Beth Merjos or Alex Evans. Everyone knows them, so they're considered celebrities. 5. Avatars must be 100x100 and signatures, whatever you like as long as it doesn't stretch the board in any way. 6. No god-modding!You play your own character, not someone else's. Please, please, please keep it to the lowest possible level. Posting Rules
1. This site is R-Rated which means that there will be swearing, sex and violence. Though, not everyone would want to read that so please put “R” or “M” in front of the title of the threads that have become very sexual.[the codeword is party like a rockstar] 2. All posts must be 150 words. Don't try to cheat your way out of it. You will get a warning. 3. All posts must be in the third person, past tense. 4. If a thread has been set aside for a character and you are not that character, do not post. 5. And last but not least, have fuuuun!
OOC C-Box Rules
1. No racial, racist, sexist, or prejudice comments will be tolerated. If I see any, you will receive a warning on your account immediately. Consider this your warning. 2. Caps may be used within reason. If I see caps being excessively used by any one person, or persons, you will receive a verbal warning. If you ignore this verbal warning, you will receive a warning on your account until you have reached 100%, after this, your fate is up to the administrators. 3. Please do not talk in character in the c-box. It tends to get a bit confusing. 4. Do not advertise in the c-box. If you are a member, you will receive one verbal warning, followed by visual warnings, and your ad will be deleted from our advertisement board. If you are a guest, your advertisement will be automatically removed from our board, no questions asked. 5. Flooding the c-box will result in a visual warning. 6. Please respect other. If I, or any other admins hear any one complain of feeling uncomfortable we will give you a visual warning, no questions asked. This is a friendly board. Respect your fellow members and administrators! No disrespect will be tolerated. 7. Do not bring your drama into the c-box. If you need to talk with some one over something serious or confidential, do so over a private message, on msn, yahoo or aim. We are trying to create a positive atmosphere, however, we are not psychiatrists. We can't help you with personal drama, however, I hope everything in your life turns out alright if you are undergoing serious and troubling personal issues.
IC C-Box Rules
1. Swearing, arguing, and everything else is allowed here. Because it's only the characters. 2. Role playing in the IC C-Box is not allowed. That's what the boards are for. Think of it this way: everything you type in the ic cbox (except if it's ooc of course) is what your character is typing. so if they're gonna go -hugs tightly- and so on with another character, then fine. But that doesn't mean it actually happened. It means your character wrote it happened. Get it? 3. If your character invites someone somewhere or anything like that, it did not happen if you don't roleplay it out. Don't hate me because of this, I'm just worried the IC C-Box might make the actual role playing less. 4. Do not advertise in the c-box. If you are a member, you will receive one verbal warning, followed by visual warnings, and your ad will be deleted from our advertisement board. If you are a guest, your advertisement will be automatically removed from our board, no questions asked. This goes for the IC, too. Although sending links to pictures or any sites that are not roleplay sites is allowed. But again, your character is sending that, not you. So if your charrie's gonna give us a link to your graphics site..ok. But that's just weird. 5. Anything OOC should be placed in brackets. Like this: (( )) or this: [[ ]] or this: {{ }}.
Gossip Girl Rules 1. DO NOT get upset by what gets posted in this board, especially in the submissions board. Those are rumors. Half of them are not true. In fact, some are absurd. 2. What Gossip Girl posts, on the other hand, is usually true. Not always, but usually. Still, don't get offended by Gossip Girl's opinion's. She's a bitch.
