&-- The Rules

THE RULES

[/font][/color][/center]
GENERAL FORUM RULES --- ❖

[/b] Proxy use is strictly prohibited. We will ban you immediately for any use of a proxy server without proper reason.

two; Word count over the boards is a minimum of 500[/u] words per RP post without coding. This minimum does not apply to PMs, Diaries, or OOC posts.

three; Do not spam the boards outside of the designated spam board.

four; Respect the admin and their authority. They're the admin for a reason.

five; Keep IC feelings IC, do not drag them into the OOC atmosphere. [/ul]


GRAPHICS RULES --- ❖

[/b] Please at least have an avatar up for your character. You can find pre-made avatars at various places, such as Hollow Art or Caution 2.0. If you need help with any graphics, post in the graphics forum, someone will offer to help.

two; Signatures should not exceed 500 pixels in width. They stretch the boards and throw everything out of whack. We currently do not have a limit on height or how many things you have in your signature, but please just don't get crazy. We don't want to have to scroll through ten graphics of your character to get to the next post.

three; Avatars should not exceed 150 pixels wide by 250 pixels tall. They can be smaller if you would rather have a smaller avatar.

four; We do allow the use of animated GIF's in avatars and signatures, but keep to one GIF per character. They tend to slow things down, so either have one as your avatar or in your signature, but never both.

five; Please keep your graphics on-topic. It can be confusing to see a comic or LOLcat in your signature if your character is not a LOLcat.

six; We do NOT allow face claims from anime, cartoons or video games. Please keep your claim to at least someone semi-famous. We aren't going to outlaw scene girls or anything like that, but we also don't want anyone to get in trouble if your random girl off Myspace stumbles onto the site and sees that she's an admin.[/ul]

POSTING RULES --- ❖

[/b] Our word count is a minimum of 500 words. Just to reiterate.

two; We'd like to ask that everyone use a thread template for their IC posts, simply because it makes everything look nice. If you need help with thread templates, the following places have boards dedicated to showcasing member templates that are free for use. You may be required to sign up on some of these.

Blank Pages
CAUTION 2.0
A Thousand Fireflies
Shadowplay
Red Carpet and Rebellion

three; Unless you are making your template yourself, please stick to one template per character. It's a lot easier to find a template that isn't in use if everyone sticks to one, instead of using a different template every time they post.

four; Don't bug other people about posting to you. It only serves to make people mad. Everyone here had things they need to do IRL, so they can't spend all their time posting back. Be patient and find something else to do to keep you occupied while waiting.[/ul]

CBOX RULES --- ❖

[/b] Keep to one name in the cbox. Our cbox is fancy because we paid good money for it, and you have to register to use it. We would rather not have one person hogging up cbox names. This is also to keep the confusion to a minimum.

two; The green and purple names in the cbox are Admin. These are the people you should seek out if you have trouble with the cbox or anything else.

three; DO NOT spam the cbox with links to images, videos, or anything else. One or two links are fine, but we have a spam board for this type of thing. The cbox is not the place for it.[/ul]

CHARACTER RULES --- ❖

[/b]For every two female characters you have, please make a male. This is mostly because we don't want WOTD to be full of women with no male counterparts.

two; Historical canons are allowed and encouraged!! Most are open to interpretation but please attempt to be historically accurate!

three; We advise you post a claim in the Face Claims even if you haven't yet finished your application. This avoids disappointment, should someone else sign up wanting to play the same character/have the same face. We're afraid we cannot decline their application to do so if you haven't already claimed or reserved your character or their playby.

four; Mary-Sues are not tolerated. Characters who have no flaws, or are the best at everything are considered Mary Sues. If you're afraid your character is a Mary Sue, consider taking the Mary Sue Test. Keep in mind that while younger characters can be talented, it is very unlikely that they could hold their own in a battle with Spartacus.

five; No god-modding. If you think it's vital to your post, check with the person you're modding beforehand. Nobody likes to see their character played unrealistically by someone else, it's just common courtesy.[/ul]

MISC RULES --- ❖

[/b] Do not advertise your forum outside of the advertising forum. Ads in the CBox will be deleted and result in a ban from the Cbox. If we find you have been spamming other members with your site, we will take immediate action.

two; Please try to log in your accounts daily. Not only does it make our online list look nice, you never know when you might have a PM on that account.

three; If you are having trouble with another member, please come to the admin about it. If you're having trouble with one of the admin, come to one of the other admin about it. We will take care of it. If you're having trouble with everyone, it might just be you.

four; Just to clarify; all claims are first come, first serve. You can claim up to two pic bases for a single character.

five; Be reasonable and don't get crazy.[/ul]

these rules were written by WOTD admin and coded by WOTD admin. please don't steal them.
