Deviation High Rules
1. Roleplay in sentence form. I other words don't use (*). You simple write it out as if it were a book. Please write in past tense as well. We also dislike one liners so post at least a paragraph. They have five full sentences. We enforce this rule harshly. But I can understand every now and then with a few one liners. Please do not over post too. Some people can't write that much and it does intimidate them. Ask first before you overdo it. Two or Three paragraphs are prefrible.
Good Example: She smiled at him as she stated, "Hello," nodding slightly as she said, "Yes, I'm new here. Is it that obvious?"
Bad Example: *I smile at him* Hello *I nod* Yes I'm new here. Is it that obvious?
2. Keep God Moding Limited - doing other character's, besides your own, actions for them. Everyone on this board are big boys and girls they can do their actions. You don't have to do that for them. So keep it limited, namely a little it allowed but don't go over board. And if the person you are role playing does not want you to do their character's actions, no matter how little you are doing, and they tell you so please respect their wish and cease it.
Think When you want to dodge an attack, think. Is it possible for me to dodge it? Some people just write out:
I dodge the punch.
But if your nailed to the ground and still dodge...something is wrong.
3. No Cybering (Internet Sex)- We disaprove of it. We understand it is a pirates site but do not overdo it. Also, No obsence picture or themes of any kind.
4. Affiliate in the section made for Afilliating! No where else. If I find any on the board I will talk to you and your site won't be posted unless it is in the Affiliation Section! We are not excepting any advertisements at all.
5. No Flaming at all- Unmotivated assaults on other members of the board will have consequences. I am very strict with this rule!
6. Check your spelling. Proper grammar is encouraged. Try to keep your spelling and general grammar correct to the best of your abilities.
7. The Secret Word, if you read all these rules, is 'Punctilious'. If you don't like how the site is run please leave. When you place this word in your profile you will automaticly consent to our rules. The word will be change monthly.
8. Don't post or reply to any role playing threads until your profile has been accepted. You may only post in the chat threads not the roleplaying ones until you are approved.
9. You may have up to one cannon characters on the site. But you may have as many madeup characters as you think you can keep up with. But keep it limited to at least 5.
10. You must have a Signature and Avatar so we may link your profile to the signature. This way we can access your profile a bit easier and so other members may see it easier.
11. You may apply for staff. If you wish to be any member of the staff please private message an admin for the template. Any of us will give it to you. To get the template you must have an active character and be a member of the site. You only get one shot at becoming a staff. If it is not accepted you will receive a notification saying so. But if you are accepted you will receive a pm congratulating you and you will be given your new responsibilites.
12. Also we will be starting up the 'Member of the Month'. If you have a active character you have been put into play already. If you are the winner you will be sent a pm and will be given a Custom Title saying that you won.
13. Everyone will be notified if a rule had been added.
14. Administrative/Moderative Procedure
- Showing blatant disregard for the boards rules will lead to an admin or moderator sending you a warning via the private messaging systems. Continuing this bad behavior will cause the admin team to take action as we see fit.
- The Admins are here to help you out, not just to kick up dirt when someone does anything wrong. If you have a question or suggestion concerning the board, either post it in the Feedback section or let us know about it via a private message.
- Even though an admin's or moderator's word is usually considered final, don't hesitate to question us if you feel you have a valid argument for your opinion.
If you're going to contact us, do it via private messages. We will respond to your e-mails.
