keep to the code

• please show respect for each member here, in private messages, in the chat box, and in out of character boards. harassment of any type (sexual, racial, orientation, religious beliefs etc.) will not be tolerated unless it is in character. nothing said in character should be meant as offensive to the people behind the character. please respect one another and refrain from fighting; if you must fight, do not fight where everyone has to read it. private message one another, and if it gets bad enough message an admin and let them deal with it from there on.
  
  
• while you are waiting to be accepted please do not post in any of the in-character boards. feel free to post around in the out of character threads, but not in-character. also, once you have been accepted please change your display name to your characters full name with no caps, either like this: jason levito, or like this: jason adam levito. middle names are optional, though preferred.
  
  
• this site will most likely contain some mature material. you have been warned; if you are too young or just don't want to be around this kind of mature material i don't recommend this site is for you. i don't care if you are 10 years old lying about your age, just don't make your mommy come and attack us because this is too mature for you, and don't complain to me about it either. this site is predominantly going to end up PG-13 and up.
  
  
• please don't post small little posts. there is not going to be a set posting limit yet but there will be one if it is needed. the minimum requirement for a post is one paragraph. that means five to seven sentences people, i don't want to have to set a limit of words on the site so that until you've reached that amount of words you can't even hit the post button. please just post one paragraph, i don't believe that is very difficult to do. who wrote the rules: barney.
  
  
• this is a literate role playing site, which means in character its appreciated that you use proper grammar and spelling. out of character it really doesn't matter (notice my lack of capitals and such.) just please do not use excessive chat speak, because it is really annoying to read and gives some of us headaches, hahaha.
  
  
• please do not complain to me or anyone on the site if you're character is not involved in plots and such and you are not doing anything to get yourself involved, it only makes people angry. posting in plot pages and starting your own threads (don't just wait for other people to start threads for you to post in) is key to getting yourself into plots.
  
  
• the posting font is pretty lenient here but there are only two requirements and they are: that your posting font readable, meaning no white font when there is a light background. and that it is size one, not the standard proboards size. i don't think that that is very much to ask for, you know how i said barney for the rule writer, thats not what i want you to write. now when you are doing your application and it asks who to put for who wrote the rules i want you to put cracky chan i am doing this so i know that all of you have read the rules.
  
  and if you have then you will also know how to put your display name and the preferences for the site font. again, the secret code is cracky chan. i don't mind if you use other font faces, for ex: i like to use georgia and times new roman a lot, you can change the colors and sizes but general text i would appreciate to be size one because i find it looks nicer and neater, other than that you can have fun with your posting font(s)
  
  
• there is no limit on how many characters you can have, but it'd be nice if you had at least 25 posts on your first character before you made any others. also, when you make a character be sure to claim your play by immediately. if you don't and someone else comes onto the site and claims your play by before you, you will lose your play by and will have to change the play by and edit the application accordingly so. please please please claim your play by as soon as possible i would hate for anyone to lose their play by.
  
  
• and finally this is a human role play, that means no vampires, animals, werewolves and etc. witches are allowed, but by witches i mostly mean people such as wicken witches; not the ones that fly on brooms with big black hats and black cats.
