Out of character Rules | |
1. As of right now, you may make up to two accounts on BC. In the event that you have a relative, spouse, or friend that lives with you who wants to join, the admin must be informed of such. The account display names should be that of the character you intend to use. 2. It is against Proboards' ToS to hide ads, so do not put YouTube videos in spoilers; I will remove them if I see it happening. 3. Racism, trolling, flaming, harassment, and disrespect all around are not tolerated on the forum, in personal messages, or in the chatbox. If you feel you are being harassed, please PM the admin so that the situation can be stopped. We want you to be comfortable here on BC. 4. No posting graphic images or writings; this includes pornography of any sort or gory imagery. We prefer to keep things at the level of a PG-13 movie! 5. Keep topics, whether in the chat box or forum, relatively clean. We allow for light humor and innuendo, but many members don't want to see such chats and many of our guests on forum are likely minors. We also don't want to get shut down by Proboards. 6. Do not bring up controversial topics such as religion, politics, abortion, and things like these on the chatbox. If you feel you must have a discussion about such things, use the spam board and use the spoiler tags with a warning label. This is because, for most people, an RP forum is a place to have fun and relax and they don't want such things staring them in the face. All other rules apply to these threads; such as no disrespectful remarks or graphic content. Under no circumstances are you to bring up the legalizing of any drugs as we really don't want law enforcement patrolling our board or Proboards shutting us down. 7. No invite only threads. RP is about interaction and not just with a set clique of people. 8. While you may have closed threads, you cannot be doing anything significant in them, such as setting a trap, destroying a building, or killing a person, even if it is an NPC. Threads that violate this rule will be deleted. Closed threads may only be occupied by a single character, making them Solo threads. Solo threads do not earn points. 9. You may be in up to one current thread(this includes any main Events, but not mini events which are just for fun). You may be in as many past threads as you think you can handle. A past thread is any thread taking place before whatever the current IC year is, and any current thread may take place at any point within the current canon season, provided that it does not counteract any Plot-based thread, which is considered the ultimate canon. It is the duty of the threadmaker to note during what season and time of day the thread occurs, in addition to where in the general timeline the thread takes place. Please use the Thread Description to note whether the thread is past or present, and include the year in brackets: [2014]. 10. Unless otherwise stated in the thread, each one needs to follow the set post order so that things don't get confusing. In the event that a person is skipped due to activity, that person forfeits his post for that turn and may resume the normal posting order on the next round. In the event that there is a Main Character and its attendant Associate Character in the same thread, both need to be posted from within the same post; if you require differentiation between your two characters, it can be done with the horizontal rule [*hr] or some other marker as you see fit. 11. Do not argue with staff when they are dealing with another member; it simply causes more problems. If you have a qualm, PM Megumi Remi to get it sorted out. 12. Where filters are in place, namely the chat box, do not try to go around them as they are in place for a reason. Repeated offenses can lead to short or long term bans and if it doesn't stop, it can result in a permanent ban from the privilege of using the chat box. 13. Signatures are required for all accounts and must include a link to the character profile used for that account only in order to limit the potential for confusion. Images used for signatures may be no more than 600px wide and 200px tall; images larger than that will be removed, as will any images that are against the rules outlined in this thread. A typical signature generally includes the link to the character profiles tied to that account, the associated Hexadecimal color codes for the characters, and a picture or comment. 14. Do not give out links via the site for pirated material. This includes posting it in a thread, through PMs, or in the cbox. 15. No Spoilers - A controversial topic at best given that people love to argue this rule, however this rule doesn't mean you can never state what happened in a series or the like. What it does mean, is if someone legitimately doesn't want to hear information regarding a game, a movie, a TV show, a book, or anything of the sort, for fear of it being ruined before they can experience it, you respect their wishes and don't provide information on it via the box and you don't purposely seek to do so on the site either. If you are concerned information you are posting on site is a spoiler, we do have a spoiler tag you can use. On the other hand, please don't complain about someone posting a spoiler if you don't truly care about the content of the information. This is annoying and one of the reasons people argue about having a spoiler rule. Also, posting 'Spoiler Alert' or anything of the sort in the box or site before posting something you know is a spoiler to someone, is still violating the rule as most people can read information tidbits before they can actually process it, so they end up reading the spoiler anyways. Debating the rule or saying sarcastic or rude things in regard to the rule or people who don't want spoilers, such as, "Spoiler alert, so and so dies," will earn you an automatic ban. 16. Upon the arrival of a thread's ending, once all characters have exited, the last person to exit should change the label of the thread to include the "Ready to Grade" tag so that when the time comes to grade threads, it can be done in a timely manner. If your thread hasn't been attended to in a few days, PM Megumi Remi. 17. An individual may have up to three names registered in the CBox to reduce both confusion and clutter. |
