RULES modified 1/3/14

[SARAH ?!]

``registration

you can sign up with any name you want, but once you decide on your characters name, please change your display name. sure, this can realistically wait until you are approved or post your profile, but if you plan on filling out the app before posting it, then please change your name accordingly and make sure that your display name is all lowercase letters, and first and last names are required, and please do not put punctuation in your display name. as for how many characters you can have, you can have as many as you'd like, but we ask they aren't all one gender since we would like to keep our ratio even. if the ratio is 5:1 or higher, there will be a ban placed on the higher gender.

``applying

on the note of applying, please post your application within 5 days of registering. before you fill out the application, please post all the claims for your character (face, roomate, you know the drill). please fill out the application carefully and do not change the code. we'd also like for people to use celebs (internet famous people are acceptable) as play bys, and not drawn characters, since this is a real life rpg and we'd like real people.

``graphics

we would love everyone on this site (and by love, i mean require) everyone to have a 100x100 avatar and a signature of their choice, as long as it does not exceed a width of 450x250 pixels. if you can't make graphics, there is a graphics board where you can request some and people are always willing to oblige. if you can't get someone on here to do it, go to a site such as CAUTION. you have to join, but it's worth it.

``activity

we will not be posting activity checks but we would like for people to at least log on once a week unless they post an absence. people who do not log in for two weeks will most likely be deleted, along with their character(s). also, if your character is the captain of any team or is in any club with limited members, if you're not active for a week they'll be removed. you may have as many characters as you can handle, but make sure to log into all accounts daily, not just the ones you owe posts on.

``roleplaying

we know everyone has a bad day every now and then, but we have a posting minimum of 150 words a post. the staff will be paying attention to those who consistently do not make the word minimum, and if we catch this, we will talk to you. we are an intermediate to advanced role play site, so try to keep on par with the minimum. also, please don't have your character in a million threads. there is no limit on how many active threads that a character can be in, but use your common sense.

``anything else

if you choose to join this site, thank you! we really appreciate it and we, the staff, would like to get to know each and every member, so don't hesitate to introduce yourself!! These rules were made by CHLOEOATS ! of CAUTION 2.0. no stealing.

xoxo
the staff
