our rules
as proboards TOS states, we will not be accepting any users under the age of 13, some content may be too mature for younger eyes and having a better knowledge of the world, 13 is the youngest we are admitting into this site. as proboards TOS states no mature content is to be on any proboards forum, and so threads must black out to the morning after.
please do not create any relations to canon characters that are not real. we're trying to keep this as a modern day potterverse, and canons aren't going to be the most needed thing. but please refrain from making siblings, or kids of characters from the book that do not exist.
when you are in a role-play situation, please try to remain literate. one-liners are NOT acceptable and never will be. any person, if given the opportunity, can write up an intelligible reply or thread starter, we have a 150-200 word count minimum. keeping in mind we are a rapid fire roleplay community, rapid fire is paragraph posting. simple, quick and to the point. say you're doing a group rp, its especially quick and easy, fun to use so you can get things done in quick succession. choose your setting, and let loose and have fun, if you've got a busy schedule, this is particularly fun and easy. keep in mind though, if you wish to write a longer post, that is fine with us. remember to respect the person you are roleplaying with, if they are writing you 500 words, please don't respond with 150, it's just not fair.
no god modding, this is never allowed. we don't expect you to take control of a situation to better yourself and your character. this isn't fair to those you are playing with and no one likes it. if you are god modding, make sure its something small that really doesn't matter, and make sure the person you are roleplaying with doesn't mind. ie; leading them outside. something small.
if you would like to change your face claim to one that is available, let us know when you claim your new face who we should be removing from the current claim. please try and use models, and celebrities more than teen estars. if you are having trouble finding the right playby for you, then don't be afraid to ask in the chatbox, we're happy to help you. inactive accounts are cleared out frequently, so if a character has not been signed in for seven days, without leaving a note of absence, that face will be freed up.
to avoid clogging up the plot board as much as we can and to allow people to plot easier, there will be one thread per member, not per character. we hope this will allow more people to get plots and to stay active with all their characters. please create a new thread with all of your characters and place (#) at the end of the subject (# meaning the number of characters included in the plotter).
to prevent the women taking over the site, we have implemented a new ratio rule. for every three girls you make you must make a guy. this does not mean make a guy and then ignore him, he has to be just as active as your girls. if we see anyone abusing this, we warn them to get their man active and if they continue to be ignored we may ask you to delete some girls. we don't want to prevent members from creative freedom, however we also don't want people to be left plot-less due to to many girls.
any child, star, web-star, etc. under the age of THIRTEEN YEARS OLD. By law, (Child Exploitation), this is illegal and CAN get a site shut down, sued, or the people behind it even imprisoned. It sounds scary, and I hate to do it - but it's a very serious issue. Even big names. DO NOT MAKE THEM OR REQUEST THEM. this means that any pictures of them 12 or younger cannot be used. Once they hit thirteen, you are free to use those images (not those taken whilst 12 or under) unless requested by the person not to be.
