The Rules[/font][/i]
Just 14 little rules...
1. This rule is probably the most important in the whole set. Respect the admins. We're not here to make you miserable, in fact we want the exact opposite. We made this site and we made it mainly so people like you could have a fun place to roleplay, so please don't insult or even bash us. Insulting is one thing, insulting and threatening (bashing) is even worse. We would never do it to you, so don't do it to us.
2. So number two is very similar to the first. Be nice to everyone and respect your fellow roleplayers. We hate it when people take the rp fights to real life and start unnecessary arguments about whether or not your character did something that was justified. It's stupid and very immature. So please, keep the fights to the threads, no one wants to see them. And we don't want to deal with them.
3. Cyber bullying will not be tolerated. Yes this really does need a rule all of it's own. This also follows on from rule number two. We take a no nonsense approach with cyber bullying. No one should be made to feel intimidated or scared of another member. The whole point of Luna is that is a safe and fun place to roleplay. 42% of kids have been bullied while online and I used to be a part of that statistic. If you feel you are being bullied, send a PM to me or any staff member and we will sort the problem as soon as possible.
4. When signing up for this site, you may register however you like. But, after you've figured out what your character's name is going to be, please change your display to the name that you have chosen. Please make sure you post an application before starting to roleplay.
5. If you have to go for a period of time e.g. summer camp you HAVE to let us know in the absances board. If you are absent for more than 2 weeks without a reason posted we have the power to delete your character.
6. No one liners unless necessary or allowed by the other person rping with you. Try and make your replies at least 2 paragraphs long because if it is much shorter it might be hard for the other person to reply to. Feel free to write much more should you wish to, but the minimum is 2 paragraphs, so don't get stressy if you post 1000 words and you get 2 paragraphs of 200 words each in response. We're not all literary genii.
7. All in character posts should be typed up in third person, unless of course it's an ic game then it doesn't matter. But, we’'ve seen some pretty weird things and third person just makes it so much easier for everyone, don't you think? Oh and no chat speak in character please, thank you. Godmodding and power playing should also be avoided. If you are not sure what these terms mean, have a look at the FAQ Guide which can be found in The Guidebook.
8. Onto those gorgeous graphics everyone loves so much. All avatars must be 150x240, makes everything look prettier. You at least need that, but, if you're having a signature, it may not exceed 400 pixels in width and 500 in height. What does this mean? You are not allowed to stretch the board! That's what that means. If you're not too spiffy with graphics, post a request in the graphics board and some lovely person will make some for you.
9. In accordance with proboards rules, Luna is a PG13 site. This means that drug abuse/alochol abuse/explicit romance and other adult themes are prohibited. Fade to black will be required. Any threads that break this rule will be locked and removed.
10. You can't kill off someone else's character without asking them first. If they are okay with it, then by all means go ahead!
11. Please don't talk in capitals. When someone is talking in capitals, they are understood to be yelling. So, don't talk in capitals unless you are yelling.
12. If the thread has a name in the title do not post there unless you are the person, or you have been asked by the members of the thread to post and come into the plot within that.
13. Plot with people, If you see that someone has a plot request up and no one has replied to it, then you reply to it. One, it's a nice thing to do and who knows, you might just come up with a kick ass plot. And two, it'll help draw new members in if they see that people are willing to plot with others, well okay it won't automatically make them join. But it will help their decision.
14. Have fun[/blockquote][/size][/font]
