General

• No fighting;; you all know what this means. No disrespecting staff or other members. Treat others as you wish to be treated, eh?
  
• No spamming;; please only advertise in the advertisement board (aka not in the cbox, or IC boards, or anywhere else you can think of) and do not send pms to members asking them to join your site. Also, please don’t just join to advertise… there’s a reason we have a guest-friendly advertisement board.
  
• Siggie size;; keep signatures smaller than 500x300.
  
• Activity;; please try to keep active! We all have lives, me included, and I know how issues can pop up, so just drop a notice in the absence board or in a pm if you’re going to be gone for a bit… but if you’ve just dropped off the face of the earth we're going to wonder.
  
• Display name;; make sure to have your forum display name as your character’s first and last name. To go along with that, please have your character’s name somewhere in your chatbox display name (it’s nice to know who we’re talking to )

Character Apps and Creation

• Unfinished apps;; apps that have not been finished within 2 weeks will be archived.
  
• Before acceptance;; please do not post anywhere in-character until your application has been accepted; posting in out-of-character areas is fine however.
  
• One character per account;; you must make a separate account for each new charrie.
  
• Originality;; we are not a Harry Potter site, or a Charmed site, or whatever else you can think of. As such, I don’t want to see any characters taken from fandoms. No Draco [insertyourlastname] or [insertnamehere] who has the same history as a fandom character. And no celebrity names either. Please and thank you?
  
• Age limit;; at the time, only characters aged 15 and up are allowed.

Rping

• 3rd person only;; whatever tense you feel most comfortable writing in is fine, but any posts done in 1st person will be deleted.
  
• Length;; please make all rp posts at least 2 decent-sized paragraphs. As a rule of thumb, a paragraph is about 5-8 sentences. I know muses can come and go, mine included, and if you need help adding length to a post PM a staff member and they’ll be sure to help you. It’s no fun to have to reply to really short posts though, so if I see any posts shorter than the minimum you'll first get a warning, then any more short posts will be deleted.
  
• No godmodding/powerplaying;; your character cannot be all-powerful, and it’s really not fair to move someone else’s character without their approval. Let me say it again: mages (and anyone else) do NOT have unlimited power!
  
• Keep it PG-13;; If a thread goes into mature area please mark with an [M], but make sure not to get too far from PG-13.
  
• No double posting;; the edit button is a great tool.
  
• Spell-checker is your lifeline;; use it. It’s a great tool too, I promise you.
  
• Absolutely no chatspeak in threads;; This means u for you, ppl for people, ect. Use () or something of the sort to show OOC talk if you need to say something, and we do have a whisper code (anything written in whisper tags can only be seen by the username specified, such as whisper=admin, and by the admin).
