((IF YOU ARE A NEW MEMBER, THIS SHOULD BE THE FIRST PLACE YOU GO TO AFTER CREATING AN ACCOUNT. PLEASE READ THESE RULES AND THEN READ THE BOLDED MESSAGE ON THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST.))
Welcome to The Organization Misadventures Proboard!
Now that the corny intro is over, let's get down to business. I suspect that all new members are listening to what I wrote as a description for this board, and thus came here asap. That, or you're being a good noodle and came to review the rules so that you can follow them so well. ;D
So, here they are. The rules I know you are all so excited to abide by and follow.
Rule 1: No pornography or any other kind of sexual content/roleplay. This is directed at yaoi fangirls. Trust me, I know which ones are ones that would attempt to break a rule like this.
Rule 2: Respect other people's privacy. No begging or threatening someone to find out their phone numbers or addresses. The same goes for spam mail. If someone annoys or pesters you on this site, tell me. I'll take care of it by talking to the person or banning them, depending on what it is the peson did to you.
Rule 3: Get along with (or at least try to) everyone. I don't want anyone discriminating anyone for any reason, be it gender, race, religion or anything. Be nice, or begone.
Rule 4: No major profanity. I don't think this should be a problem, primarily because the forum already cencors half the words that could offend. However, if there is a word that is not cencored and someone uses it, alert me. I will cencor it, and then notify the person who said it.
Rule 5: Post in the correct board. Also, NO SPAMMING. I don't want roleplay in the manga board or blabber about random stuff in roleplay, though you're allowed to have OOC (out of character) conversations while roleplaying by saying what you want to a few lines above or below your roleplay message in parenthases.
ex: YADDA YADDA ROLEPLAY YADDA
(( Out of character message here ))
And the other thing, no spammin'. I don't want people advertising their own websites OR virus websites (if that's the case, not only will I delete the post, I will also ban your username, your email and your ip adress. I can, believe me.).
Rule 6: Please use proper grammer. I hate reading illiterate blabber. However, I will allow 1337 and jmbelud caht (jumbled chat, the process of mixing up the letters in a word but keeping the first and last letters the same, being how the human eye can normally read that) if it's only a joke. (NOTE: This rule, being how it won't affect anyone else too bad, will NOT be forced as hard as the other rules.)
That's just about it. Of course, there are penalties (thanks to xatsumyestarsap for reminding me) that will be dished out for breaking the above rules. For breaking ANY rule..
First offece: Warning pm.
Second offence: Warning e-mail and pm.
Third offence: Warning e-mail and pm, account disabled for 5 days. If member is staff member, user will be stripped of title.
Fourth offence: Warning e-mail and pm, account disabled for 1 1/2 weeks, any roleplay title will be taken away. User then must make 40 more NON-SPAM posts in order to regain title before someone else takes it.
Fifth offence: Warning e-mail and pm, account disabled for 3 weeks.
Sixth offence: Perma-ban.
As you can see, six chances to stay on our proboard is more than enough, seeing as how our rules are easy to follow. So please, abide by our simple rules and you'll have a great time on our proboard.
Check this thread every so often, however, because I may update it. If I make any forum-changing updates to the rules, I'll use an admin tool to message and email everyone. But just in case, don't forget to check back.
IF YOU ARE A NEW MEMBER WHO IS STARTING OUT, PLEASE REPLY TO THESE RULES SAYING YOU ACCEPT THEM. AFTER, PLEASE RETURN TO THE FORUM'S HOME PAGE AND HEAD TO THE CHARACTER CREATION BOARD FOR THE NEXT STEP.
