These may be revised and updated, so you should check back every once in a while. These are mostly your average rules, but there might be one or two in there you didn't expect, so please read them thoroughly.
Post Rules -
Post Rules -
- No powerplaying - this means controlling another person's character in your post. You may only do this if you have permission eg they are away and want their character to be involved in things.
- Do not double-post - if you really need to add something in, click edit and add it to the top/bottom of your post in OOC.
- Go easy on the OOC - you can have OOC statements marked clearly at the beginning/end of your post. Please do not put it in the middle of a sentence in your post!
- There is a word-filter on some words - racist, pornographic, and sectarian language is not allowed.
- ABSOLUTELY NO DISCRIMINATION - based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or any other factors. Behavior like that disgusts me more than I can convey with words and I will personally see to it that your sorry ass is banned from these boards.
- Minimum post length is 250 words - everyone has bad days where they have no muse, but surely you can scrape together that. Failing to follow this once or twice is ok, but if you consistently post far below the mark you will be warned.
- Never, ever, use "txt spk" IC - for the love of god, please. We understand that nobody is completely one hundred percent perfect at spelling, grammar, etc. But please try your best to type in proper English.
- Some swearing is ok - personally, I see no big problem with swearing. But there may be members here who do have a problem with it, so try to keep it down to the essential times. Not because there's a set mark ("You can't swear more than 5 times in a post") but out of consideration. Your character is allowed to swear IC, and you are allowed to swear OOC - just not at someone.
- Remember it's a game - your character can hate another character IC. But please don't end up hating someone just because your wolf hates theirs! Arguments over things like this are stupid and petty. Just don't?
- Respect the staff and others - no one is here to be insulted and raged at. If you really have a problem with someone, take it to the PMs** to try and get things resolved peacefully, and quietly. Do not have a clash of the titans in the CBOX or on the boards. Your post will be deleted, and you will be warned.
- --**No flaming - this is harrassing/raging at someone via any port of contact on this site. I don't care if you think you have the moral highground or the right or anything like that, do not do it. If someone is harrassing you via PM, the boards, the CBOX etc, screenshot it for evidence and report it to an admin. Rest assured, it won't be tolerated.
- Say there's a situation you're not happy with - let's pretend you applied for pups but didn't get them, and now you're pissed at the staff. Don't flip out and have an attack at them; do you really think that's going to help your cause? Just talk it over with us.
- Signatures can be no bigger than 500x500px - No wider than 500px because it'll stretch the board out, and it'll look nasty. No higher than 500px because, how annoying would it be if someone had an impossibly tall signature pic and you had to scroll down allll the way past it?
- Avatars can be no bigger than 150x200 - same general idea as above. A few unknown pixels that won't hurt anyone are fine, just as long as they don't stretch the board any.
- Keep it realistic - talking is allowed, of course, but nothing like jewellery or bandages. Wolves heal by by drinking lots of water, and with rest. Something gives me the idea they lack the opposable thumb to stick on a band-aid or work a necklace clasp.
