RULES:
Don't make us Zat you... twice.
Don't make us Zat you... twice.
GENERAL
- Proboards has a TOS (Terms of Service), and we - as a Proboards site, must abide by it. In short, the site is rated PG-13 (just like the show), and content should follow suit. No pornographic/smutt threads, no language so strong it causes small children to cry, and no sexist or racist remarks OOC.
- Try to post regularly (i.e. 2-3 days between posts); if you’re unable to please post a leave of absence notice in the relevant thread. Repeated disappearances from the site without an LOA notice may incur repercussions. This includes not being included on the roster for missions and being passed up for promotion. On occasion we will clean house, as well.
POSTS
- 250+ word minimum per RP post. There is a word counter just under the post/preview/spellcheck buttons. Use it. Also try to avoid 250 words of only monologue. If your character is ranting and there's a bunch of other things happening in your post - that's fine. Just keep in mind - your post is there to continue the story of the thread. So continue it.
- Use bold text and quotation marks “LOOK HOW BOLD I AM” to indicate when your character is talking and italics to indicate when they’re thinking to themselves.
- Spell check is the easiest thing in the world. There's a button in the bottom of the Quick Reply, the main post page, most browsers auto-spell-check, and most word processors will as well. So use them. Also, try to reread your post before posting. Awkward typos can change the entire meaning of a single sentence, causing your post to not have the correct impact that you intended.
- Try to avoid OOC additions to your RP posts. If you need to add a note, that's fine. Other than that, there's a place for planning these threads, and should be used for most OOC banter about said thread.
RESPECT[/font]
- The point of an RP is to enjoy writing with a community. So please don't ruin it for everyone. Tread everyone with respect. If you have RL issues, feel free to talk them out in the OOC board. But do not bring your RL issues/arguments into the RP! If you are having troubles with another member, feel free to contact any of the staff and we'll help you out.
- Respect the administrators, moderators and other staff members. None of us get paid to be here. If drama builds up and no one is having fun, the site will die. Exclamation point. Sadface. Period.
- Avoid god-modding or controlling the actions of other players character though your own posts. Focus on your own characters actions and leave posts open so others aren’t forced to response in a certain way. Joint posts between characters are welcomed and encouraged.
PUNISHMENT
- Strike 1: Written warning PM from a staff member.
- Strike 2: Your 'warning meter' will start to increase by an appropriate interval per offense. This can be dropped with time and good behavior.
- Strike 3: If your 'warning meter' reaches 100%, you will be asked to leave the site.
