You must apply these rules..
GENERAL RULES
If there are canon characters that have been spoken for but do not have a profile made with in 72 hours (unless you let me know), you will forfit that canon character. Period. This it ot keep the forum active. .
Also, You must post at least once a week. If you are gone for more than a week without PMing a staff member about your absence, you will be given another week to make a post. If you don't you will risk being deleted. Harsh I know, But we need to keep the forum active if it is going to be a success.
Thanks for your time,
The admin + staff
PROBOARDS TERMS; You must be familiar with the proboards terms of service. you must at at least 13 years of age. If you are not familiar with them go read the Terms of Service
ADMIN AND STAFF; You must never question the admin. what the admin says goes. (This applies to other staff as well.) In terms of questioning, it means that don't tell the admin or staff that they aren't punishing or taking care of a situation correctly. Not OK. This isn't your forum so if you want certain rules to be saw after, this isn't the place for you.
NOBODY BELONGS TO ANYONE BUT THEMSELVES; Cindy loves Legolas and is determined that only she can be his lover.
Ok guys, this really bugs the crap out of a lot. Fan girls who automatically think that they get to have a male canon fall in love with their character as soon as the sign up. That is just stupid. Think about real life. (I know this isn't real life, but seriously...)
If you see a hot guy that you know others girls like (including yourself) are you really gonna run up to him, and say you are mine then slip a ring on his finger? I don't think so. So, you will not be doing that here either. All OC's are strangers to Canons.
3: DON'T ASSUME, DON'T JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS;
OK, maybe you got off on the wrong foot with some, and it makes you want to let all the other members know just how horrible this member is. That is not ok. Just because you had something happen, doesn't mean you can't put it behind you and be friends. you don't know the person anyways, so how could you possibly know that they are truly as horrible as you think?
Just don't do it. If you really feel like there is something wrong, contact the Admin via PM.
Everyone is to be respectful to one another.
MAGIC WORD;
The magic word is hubble..or is it?
BE A RESOURCE; when newbies arrive, help them out if they have questions that you know for sure that you can answer. I, as the admin, do that for you. Help them settle in if possible, and if it's their first time rping, help them feel comfortable.
STAFF; Do not ask to be staff please. If you do it won't happen. I will be looking for members who follow the rules and are experienced. I will pick members out myself.
RP || CHARACTER RULES
CANON; Every member is allowed to have ONE canon, and ONE canon only. You may not ask to have another. You may only play one canon.
LIMITS; Every member is allowed up to three characters, and three only.
GARY-STU'S: MARY-SUES; I will ask you to resubmit your character if they are anyone of these. The Stu's and Sues aren't fun to play with. So, none of that please.
MAGIC WORD 2;
Hmmm, if hadn't kept reading you wouldn't of gotten the REAL magic word. the REAL magic word is Draco
ON ANOTHER NOTE; I know that there are a lot of rules and some you might not agree with but please, follow them. It's not that hard people. I want to make this forum as fun a possible. I want some cool ideas from you too! So post your application and lets have a ball!
Also, there are a few rules when applying for charaters. First off, Besides the one we already have, there are to be no originals realated to canons. Please don't ask why, but its not going to happen. Its just not. Next, you MUST meet the length required. There is a reason it is requires, and I did not write it out for my health. You will fallow those requirments, they are your friend. I would also like to point out, that you need to make sure that if you are doing a canon, you must be SCARY literate. Okay? There is nothing worse then an illiterate canon.
