Rule #1: Keep swearing to a minimum. This rule is fairly simple, but what I mean by this rule is that I don't want people swearing every other word in every post. I hate that. It's annoying and rude, not to mention that there are several people in this group (including myself) that don't approve of cussing. Obviously, what this rule means is that you are permitted to swear a little, but be cautious of how often you swear. If it starts getting uncomfortable, I will give you a warning. If you persist and you have a special position in this group, I will remove you from that position and have the assistant moderator(s) handle that aspect of the group.
Rule #2: Nothing over PG-13. There are some younger kids here, so we don't want to go deep. PG-13 involves kissing. Anything above that and you will receive a warning. If you truly want to do something though, please skip through it.
Rule #3: Only moderators are allowed to create new topics unless otherwise said. If you would like a topic or folder added to the group, then please see the 'Suggestions' thread and suggest it, and a moderator will poll the group about it.
Rule #4: No inappropriate pictures. Inappropriate pictures consist of pictures where you can see...body parts. If it shows the start, but not all I will allow it unless, that's the only kind of pictures you put.
Rule #5: No power playing. Please do not power play. Ex: Abby: Silvia held up her fists ready to fight. She looked Catlin in the eye and Catlin looked back. Catlin lunged forward with her fist and Silvia quickly dodges it. Hannah: ((Catlin is my character and she hasn't even done that.)) If you make another person's charrie do something that they haven't done, that's powerplaying.
Rule #6: Put correct grammar and spelling. Well...try to put correct grammar and spelling. I think this is pretty self-explanatory so I won't really explain it. If you abbreviate something like POTC(Pirates of the Caribbean) that's okay. If you don't know how to spell something A.) you should have spell check on Goodreads now and B.) put ((SP)) after the word if you think you spelled it in correctly. If you don't put correct grammar and spelling, I won't give you any warnings, but I want you to try and type the words correctly.
Rule #7: No one sentence posts. I get really tired of people putting one sentence posts when its like: 'Harrison ran for cover.' That makes people wonder where he goes, and it's not something people who are rping with him can really work off of. Now I can understand if you are trying to think of things to put, and that's all you can think of, but don't put one sentence posts all the time. If you disobey this rule I won't give you any warnings, just like the grammar and spelling, but once again, try not to break this rule.
Rule #8: (This is the worst rule ever......................................................) HAVE FUN! I want this to be an enjoyable group so have some fun roleplaying.
Warnings: Warning #1: A gentle reminder of the rules. No punishment. Warning #2: A more stern reminder of the rules. If you are a moderator, you will be removed from this position. If you are a regular member, no punishment. Warning #3: If what you are doing is deemed severe enough by a moderator, then you will be removed from the group. If not, then you will be banned from the group for a total of two weeks.
You have to receive these warnings all in a row for the same reason. I'm not mean enough to kick you out of the group because you got a small warning for three entirely different things! :D However, there is the Golden Rule that I hope all of you already know to abide by. I don't need to explain this, hopefully, but if by chance I happen to find that you are cyber bullying, I will personally remove and block you from this group. No person has any right to be cyber bullying, as it is a personal offense that can really cut someone to the quick.
Please don't break the rules. I don't want to be a party pooper, but I will if I have to.
Please tell me if there is something I should be aware of or if there is something I need to add/change about the rules.
