An rp isn't just about fun characters and awesome plot, it's about making friends (safely) over the site. I've met some of my best friends through rp's, but I've also met some jerks, bozos and just plain idiots. To keep people from dealing with/acting like jerks bozos, and idiots, I've written down some Out of Character rules that will help keep the rp a safe and fun environment.
1. Proboards requires me to say that you all MUST keep everything PG-13. I realize that you all are smart enough to know this already, but I'm just being careful.
2. Online or Cyber bullying is something serious and will not be tolerated here. You will get no warnings if I find out you are bullying another user and you WILL be permanently banned from the site.
3. Please don't use any slurs or stereotypes while in the chatroom or even simply talking to another user over notes. Something that you may consider non-offensive could hurt someone else's feelings a lot, even if that wasn't your intention.
4. While on this site, please be as active on here as much as possible. I've really put a lot of thought into this site and would like it to be a rather large rp. So before you join, truly think about whether or not you'll be active. If you cannot be very active, don't create very important characters that the other rp members can't do without.
5. If you are going to be inactive for a short while, set it up so that your characters are off doing something and the other characters can continue the story without them. Let everyone know you're going to be gone so it's not a surprise.
6. Be social. It's fun to talk to other people, even if it's behind a computer screen. And there's nothing more awkward than a silent rp member outside the actual rp.
7. Have fun. If you have a problem with another rp member, send me a note and I'll take care of it. If I'm not available, not one of the mods and they'll help you until I'm available once more. Enjoy the rp everyone!
