[/u][/color]General:
- Be courteous and respectful! I don't want to see any slurs, bashing, fighting, OOC drama, etc. Be mindful of everyone else's feelings, it's as simple as that.
- Keep everything SFW. If you are not sure whether or not something is considered NSFW, ask a mod first OR don't post it at all. It's that simple.
- Don't bash anything -- ships, kinks, characters, etc -- because even if you don't like it, someone else might. It's fine to mention that it's not to your tastes, just don't be rude about it.
- Keep double posts and superfluous posts down to a minimum -- the modify button does exist.
- Swearing is fine.
- If something could be triggering, put a warning in your post title

Chatango:
- All the general rules still apply -- although it's okay to talk about NSFW stuff. (Just no images are allowed.)
- Try not to post direct links to images! Chatango automatically posts a thumbnail of it, which both clogs up the chat and could subject someone to something they want to see. Instead, link to where it's hosted; and give all necessary trigger warnings
- Debating and disagreeing is fine -- but don't let it get out of hand.
- Don't flood the box, if possible.
- Do your best to be inclusive!
- You may want to invest in getting a Chatango account, because you cannot save your guest account. The username doesn't really have to be related to your character(s), because let's face it, they're probably already taken.
Roleplaying:
- If you are being more than one character, try to keep the account separate! It's okay to combine side character accounts; but for main characters, keep it separate.
- No god-modding or overpowering your characters. Does this even need to be said?
- Try to stay active! You don't need to be RPing daily, a few times a week is fine. At the bare minimum, you should be posting once a week -- unless you have a reason for your absence. In that case, be sure to inform us on the absences thread.
- Shipping is alright! Just ask the person playing the other half of your ship first; and don't force anyone to do a ship with you. If they don't want to do it, they don't want to do it, and that's okay! Remember this.
- Don't force anyone to RP with you in general -- it's just plain rude, and makes people uncomfortable. This includes making a closed thread between you and someone else without asking them first.
- You're allowed up to five characters, with restrictions. View this thread for more information.
- Don't take more characters than you can handle.
- No smut on the boards!
[/li][li]Stay in character! Yes, this is a new setting, but at the very core these characters are the same! You are allowed some leeway, but keep it realistic.
