These are the site rules, as is obvious by the title. Please keep in mind that there are certain consequences for each time you break a rule. For your convenience, here are just the first three consequences:
[li]First Time: You are sent a warning via PM
[/li][li]Second Time: You are warned visibly on your bar and may be banned for a certain amount of time based on the importance of the rule broken.
[/li][li]Third time: You are warned visibly and banned for a week or longer depending on the rule broken.
[/li][/ul]
Alright, well, now that that's taken care of...
[li] Please sign up with the name of your character as your user-name. Please nothing fancier than that.
[/li][li] There is a max of three (3) characters per person and if you want more than one character, you need to make a separate account for each.
[/li][li] Your characters may have powers, but they are not godly nor are they perfect. They must have at least two weaknesses. And character. We like uniqueness.
[/li][li] When making your character's profile, please don't use pictures for character descriptions. You may choose a celebrity, but you may not post the picture with your profile. You must describe. Make the character your own.
[/li][/ul]
[li] You cannot post in the role-play boards without having your character accepted by a staff member.
[/li][li] No god-modeling or power-playing.
[/li][li] Romance is allowed, but keep in mind not to be too gory on the details.
[/li][li] This site is PG-13 for a reason, so no being immature.
[/li][li] Literacy is important here. Dark Forest Academy is for intermediate to advanced role-players. The limit in a post is at least 150 words. We have a word counter for a reason, people, it isn't there for decoration.
[/li][li] On that note, please use the spell check. It's a nice little button by the 'preview' button when making a post, and comes in handy.
[/li][li] I ask you not to use fancy fonts, glows, shadows, or forms while in character. Some players might not be able to read it and that becomes a problem.
[/li][li] No killing characters without the player's consent and an admin's knowledge of it all.
[/li][li] Role-play in the third person, please. And past tense, too!
[/li][li] A character can only be in one place at one time.
[/li][li] If you absolutely have to go out of character (OOC), please use brackets or parenthesis and please do not use chat-speak in the role-play boards.
[/li][/ul]
A big thing I'm worried about is that you guys might think you have to follow the Code exactly. No, you don't. This site is about change, corruption, and destiny. Every student may choose his or her path, whether its down the path of heroism or the road of evil.
You choose how your character may act. Just keep in mind that staff and other students may react how they wish to the decisions your character makes.
[li] No spamming.
[/li][li] Signatures can be no bigger than 500 x 200.
[/li][li] Sites can only be advertised in the Advertising Board.
[/li][li] Have fun!
