[atrb=border,0,true] Yes, you'll hate reading the rules, but we will need these to keep the site in running order. So, I expect everyone of you knows the simple rules: respect the other members and staffs, no advertising except in plug's boards, no god-moding, no Mary Sues and Gary Sues, IC post in third person, one character per account etc etc. OK, these are considered covered, if you have questions, pick a member online now or shoot staffs a PM and ask. We won't bite, promise.
Listed below will be some site specifics, and we hope you will follow them.
Staffs reserve the rights to edit rules as we see fit. You will be notify via PM when we do any modification.i. LITERACY; while I don't expect everyone to do perfect posts every single time, I would love everyone to post in generally good English. I can understand that sometimes typo is unavoidable, and a one or two grammar mistake is acceptable, but I would suggest that you to recheck the replies before posting it up. Spell Check can help minimizing the errors too. Abbreviations are NOT WELCOME on post. Minimum word count per post on Eden would be 250 words, but do keep in mind that it won't be nice if you reply to someone who posted 900 words above you with that bare 250 words, and vise versa.ii. GRAPHICS; I request every single characters on board to have their own avatar and signature banner. Avatar size is Proboards standard 100 x 100px; Banner size is no bigger than 500 x 300 px. GIFs allowed, but we do not encourage plain GIF as banner. If you need graphics, you may request at Caution 2.0, A Thousand Fireflies or just ask a set from our talented artists on board. Credits MUST BE given to the artist whom you take graphics from, be it from Caution or our artist on board.iii. RATING; ©Eden, In Novum Futurum™ is rated PG-13. Cussing, sex, all that jazz is allowed, don't overdo it, you'll know when to fade to black.iv. CHARACTERS; We have no limit on how many character one person can hold, activity allowing. And to keep population balance, a member must have ONE GUY for every TWO GIRLS, meaning we will not accept a third female character from you unless you have a male character. Character's display name must be in first middle last, while username is up to you. be mindful to help us key in your Alias at the appropriate section in your character's profile too.v. ACTIVITY; Be active, log in all your characters accounts everyday, I wish not to beg you to do it. You may even use Proboards Global Login to save time. If we have not hear from you within a month, you're considered inactive. If you have not post an IC post (be it a RP or IC message) in 3 weeks, you're considered inactive. We reserves all rights to forfeit any claims you made with that account.vi. CBOX; No chat speak like "u", "r" "l8r", while TTYL, LOL are acceptable. Strictly no advertising and be respectful to other members. Cbox is a place to have fun and for members to relax after a long time of typing RolePlay and all, start a good discussion of TV shows or discuss plots if you like, but please DO NOT start drama there. Use your common sense to judge what you can or cannot talk there alright? <33vii. OTHERS;
- No plagiarism, period. It's fine if you're making a character based on someone you like, or base on characters you found lovable, ADAPT THEM into Eden, but any kind of copying and pasting is not allowed.
- Don't pester members to reply you, everyone would post at their own comfortable rate, and they do have real life too; and while I understand that life can be busy sometimes, it is always appreciated if one might inform others about their posting rate if something comes up in your life. RPG is about fun, we won't want it to be a burden, meanwhile we won't like it if others drag our thread on forever too right?
- Always listen to a staff. If you think you're not treated fairly, PM me or Ashley.
- Never pester a staff to look at your apps before it has been posted up for 24 hours, be it on CBox or PM. We will always get to the apps as soon as we can, but sometimes life take us away too, so please be understanding.
- FC has to be a celebrity; no anime claims allowed, no real persons allowed.
