Just Your Average Forum Rules~

What is a forum that doesn't have guidelines?
I'm a generally easy going person. But there are a few bits of common sense I'd like people to keep in mind.

-Spamming:
Keep the fluffy filler posts to a minimum and keep them from wandering off topic. By these kinds I mean the one word "lol" kind of posts in chat threads. Other than that, feel free to type as much as you'd like.

-Ratings:
I'd like to keep this forum at a PG-13 rating. Swearing is ok if it fits your character, but only if you use good judgment and don't have your character running around slinging f-bombs at every other person. This also applies to character relationships. Romance is all well and good, but if you start getting to the 'it's getting annoying to roleplay with them because their characters are just all over each other' stage you might be asked to tone it down.

-Advertising:
You're welcome to advertise other sites only once. If you continually bug people to see your site it will result in your post getting deleted most likely.

-OOC vs. IC:
When you have something to add, please put some sign to show that you've gone out of character. Also, remember that in character issues are separate from out of character issues. If you have problems with someone on the board, try to work it out personally or message an admin or a mod instead of filling up the forums with flaming.

-Chatspeak:
This is a roleplay forum, not a chatting service. Therefore, lingo such as "lol how u guyz doin" will be highly looked down upon, at least by me. >_>; I won't be a horrible annoyance and say you have to type correctly in every single random post that isn't roleplay, but at least be coherent.

And everything else is pretty much common sense.
So have fun roleplaying~
