New Site Guidelines:
After a discussion with Derpino, we have come to an agreement that in order to improve the quality of this site a few certain guidelines will be imposed, hopefully, people won't be angry with this one like it was on CYS when a similar thing was imposed there.
Don't worry, we're not banning freeform as well, after all, this site was made because CYS banned freeform in the first place, so you can breathe in relief now that freeform isn't banned here as well. However, that doesn't mean that we will allow crappy one liner and bad grammar RP's so these rules will hopefully make the writing on this site of a higher quality.
Rule 1:
From now on, crappy grammar and one-liner posts won't do anymore. You will have to detail your posts at least so instead of writing "Angry, Joe shot Max in the head" you will need to write. "Angered, Joe pointed the gun at Max' head and pulled the trigger, hoping to end him for his betrayal". That way, the post will be a bit more comprehensible. Also, for the rp-ers already here but having bad grammar will be able to practice their writing in some training exercises, it won't be contest, but you will be able to improve your grammar that way. People that will persist in making one-liner posts will have three strikes before their account is banned. Don't worry, you will be warned first before getting strikes.
Rule 2:
You are allowed to swear, however, there is a difference between a curse word or two and the entire post being something obscene. The same rule apply as to the rule above, you will first get a warning, then you will start to get strikes, on the third strike, you'll get banned.
Rule 3:
No porn, I mean it! If you post or write something sexually descriptive, you'll be warned only once before getting banned. If you want to show that your character mated or something, you can hint at it, not outright describe it in your post.
Rule 4:
No spamming, please. I know you all want coins to buy items and all that, but if you spam, the same guidelines apply to this rule, a warning and three strikes before you are banned, understood? I'm glad you did.
Rule 5:
Don't be rude to other people, people may like rude humor, but if you insult someone too much, it will qualify as bullying and that won't work, now will it? Again, you get only one warning before the strikes start and you'll be that much closer to being banned.
Rule 6:
No derailments, some members might actually want to discuss the topic the OP was talking about, not about what you had for breakfast(unless that was the original topic). The same guidelines apply as above, one warning and three strikes before you're banned.
Rule 7:
All WC(Warrior Cats) rp's can only have two threads at all times, a sign-up or interest thread and the gameplay thread, nothing more. This qualifies for all other forum games as well. If you want to make another thread related to another RP, just PM a mod with the reason why you want to make another thread, if he/she allows it, then you will be allowed to make another post. The same guidelines apply as to the rest of the rules, one warning and three strikes.
If you have any complaints with the rules, keep it civil, or PM me or one of the mods. Follow these new rules and you won't have a problem.
