OUT OF CHARACTER RULES
[/color] Now remember staff monitors the threads around the site, so we’ll catch anyone breaking this. Also, student- teacher relationships are allowed, but please keep them on the down low. Swearing, we don’t want to see it every other word. Drugs are very rare in the school, so don't try and mention them.1. It’s quite simple to be respectful. Please remember that some people are on this forum to relax in their down time. But when an Admin or Staff says no don’t go to the other admin and try to play us off against one another. Not cool. Also if you have a problem with another member please bring it to up to the admin or another staff member. We aren’t mean, we'll help.
2. Graphics? So you have the ability to make them, great. Just keep a signature to about 500x400. It’s simple and doesn’t stretch the page. And remember not everyone has DSL or fast internet so it may take them longer for the images to load. Avatars/Icons, lets keep them no bigger than a 100x100, but no 50x50. Those are puny.
3. Posting Length. This is a must, if any of us see you continuously posting short responses you will be given a warning. Now there is a code in this wonderful forum that counts the words in each post. Now normally a minimum post should be an easy 100 words. And that extra stuff, like icons, graphics, other pretty stuff doesn’t count towards your 100 words. This is a semi-literate site. Some members are more advanced writers than others. But I do not want to see one liners. Also: Please post in third person! ("Kiley said")
4. In Chasing the Night swearing, sex, drugs, and pregnancies are permitted. With baby plots, please explain to the Admins the plot and who is involved and mostly we’ll give you the okay. But we don’t want everyone pregnant, and also no one under sixteen may allow to present a baby plot. Sexual Contant IS NOT ALLOWED on Chasing The Night; take it to IMs or whatever :] All threads involving sex, drugsrocknrolland alcohol must fade to black, or have very little detail about the activities.
6. Here at CTN, we don't believe in character limits! (
IN CHARACTER RULES
1. Please remember this site is brought to you because your Admins are wonderful hard workers and have spent many late nights to finish this site.[/justify][/size]
2. No Mary-Sue or Gary-Shoes running around. YOU ARE NOT DYING humans, so remember just make sure you're character can balance itself out. No one is perfect.
2. Head Boy & Head Girl CANNOT play on the Quidditch team.
3. One special ability per character. Canon based werewolves/vampires/half veela's don't need to sign up for their ability.
4. Please use a celeb or model for face claiming. NO anime allowed. Please remember if you want you're celeb, it's first come first serve, and there is no negotiation.
5. If you’re are a mean character, please do not take it personal. Because its just in character not in real life. But please keep the racism, and bullying out of the C-box and keep it low in threads. Even though bullying is accepted to a degree in threads, if its over board we will step in.
