- ALL RP's ARE LITERATE ADVANCED. THIS MEANS PROPER PUNCTUATION, CAPITALIZATION, AND SPELLING IS REQUIRED.
- TRY AND BE LITERATE, IF I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MEANT, I'LL MAKE YOU REPOST.
- USE COMPLETE WORDS! DO NOT USE THINGS LIKE 'u' FOR 'you' AND '4' FOR 'for'.
- TYPE OUT ALL WORDS COMPLETELY!
[li]DO NOT USE THE NUMBER FORM OF THE WORD. TYPE 'FOUR' INSTEAD OF '4'. [/li](LARGE NUMBERS, SUCH AS ONE MILLION SOMETHING ARE POSSIBLE EXCEPTIONS. AS ARE DATES AND NUMBERED LISTS.)
[li]TRY TO SPELL THE WORDS CORRECTLY... [/li](IF UNSURE OF SPELLING PUT (sp?) AFTER THE WORD YOU ARE UNSURE OF. ALSO SPELL CHECK IS THERE FOR A REASON. USE IT!)
[li]ONE LINERS ARE JUST ANNOYING DON'T USE THEM...[/li]
[li]SPAMMING THE RPS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED AT ANY GIVEN POINT! [/li](OOC IS NOT ALLOWED IN THE RP, THE RP BOARD IS NOT MEANT FOR CHATTING OR PLANNING ONLY PLAYING! OOC COMMENTS BELONG IN THE OOC BOARD!)
[li]ONE PARAGRAPH POST MINIMUM. A GOOD POST CONSISTS OF 'DIALOGUE, ACTION, DIALOGUE'. [/li](COME ON PEOPLE THIS ISN'T HARD TO DO! BUT A LOT MORE IS EXPECTED OF YOU!)
[li]MAKE YOUR POSTS EASY TO UNDERSTAND, YET FULL OF DEPTH AND DETAIL![/li]
[li]IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT A WORD MEANS, DON'T USE IT![/li]
[li]STAY WITHIN THE STORYLINE.[/li]
[li]NO GOD MODDING. PERIOD![/li](THIS IS CONTROLLING ANOTHER CHARACTER'S ACTIONS. DURING FIGHT SCENES THIS IS SOMETIMES UNAVOIDABLE. BUT IT DOESN'T GIVE YOU INVITATION TO WRITE OUT THE ENTIRE FIGHT ON YOUR OWN!)
[li]WHEN POSTING IN A GROUP RP, POSTING IS DONE IN ROUNDS. ONE POST EACH ROUND, LIKE TAKING TURNS.[/li](EVERYONE HAS TO POST BEFORE YOU GET A TURN AGAIN.)
[li]NO DOUBLE POSTING, THAT'S WHAT THE EDIT BUTTON IS FOR.[/li]IF IT IS A MAJOR EDIT PLEASE TYPE 'EDIT PLEASE READ: (AND WHAT YOU CHANGED HERE)'.
THIS IS TO LET OTHERS KNOW THAT THEY MAY ALSO NEED TO CHANGE THEIR POST. DO NOT GO BACK AND EDIT A PAST POST. EDITS ARE BEST DOEN BEFORE OTHERS HAVE POSTED.
[li]DON'T JUST ASSUME THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE STORY. THERE MAY ALREADY BE SOMETHING PLANNED.[/li](SOME SL's ARE DETAILED AND VERY SPECIFIC WITH MANY EVENTS ALREADY SET INTO MOTION. CHECK THE FIRST POST BEFORE POSTING. ALWAYS CLEAR YOUR ACTIONS WITH THE ADMINS FIRST. THIS MEANS DO NOT TAKE IT UPON YOURSELF TO CHANGE THE SL!)
[li]MATURE CONTENT NOT ALLOWED IN THE ROLE PLAYS![/li](DUE TO PROBOARDS RULES SUCH THINGS ARE OUT OF THE QUESTION. PLEASE KEEP IT PG-13!)
[li]ALWAYS SPECIFY WHAT YOU WANT IN AN RP. IF YOU AREN'T HAPPY YOU CAN'T PUT YOUR SOUL INTO IT.[/li](WHAT THIS MEANS IS THE TYPE OF RP. IF YOU WANT TO DO A SCHOOL RP, SAY SO. VAMPIRE ROMANCE, SAY SO. THOUGH THIS IS MORE FOR ONE ON ONE THAN GROUP RP.)
[li]DON'T COMPROMISE YOUR INDIVIDUALITY JUST FOR THE SAKE OF MAKING ANOTHER HAPPY.[/li](MEANING, DON'T DO THINGS YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH. AS WELL AS BEING YOURSELF.)
[li]NO PK.. THIS MEANS YOU CAN'T KILL ANOTHER CHARACTER IN AN RP.[/li](A CHARACTER CAN BE WOUNDED BADLY THOUGH. SOME CHARACTERS THROUGH THE COURSE OF A STORY WILL DIE THIS IS NATURAL. THIS APPLIES TO JUST KILLING A PERSON'S MAIN CHARACTER BECAUSE YOU GOT TICKED OFF. THIS IS A NO-NO!)
[li]RESPECT FOR A PERSON AND THEIR CHARACTER MUST BE MAINTAINED AT ALL TIMES. IF YOU ARE UPSET AT ME, DON'T TAKE IT OUT ON MY CHARACTERS.[/li]
