3. Forum structure
Basically, the forum is divided into 3 parts.
4. Godmodding
- All netiquette rules will be enforced here. If you don't behave, you will be warned. If you can't learn to coexist with others, you will be banned. We don't tolerate rudeness and bad behavior.

2. SPAM
Short Pointless Annoying Messages
- Okay, I have seen a lot of it on the boards. Please, people, try to make them at least a full line long. It is really annoying to see people getting exp. points and not necessarily doing anything for it. When roleplaying, you want to make your message meaningful and actually move the story forward a little.
- Some examples of bad posts:
- She blinked in surprise. (Like that will make much difference..)
- She agreed. (you could add more!)
"Hi, Does anyone here wanna be my friend?" (gosh I hate that!) - She walked in and said hi before turning and leaning her back on the wall, crossing her arms and glaring forward into space. (Yes, this is SPAMing.. it doesn't exactly make sense and is rather pointless.. not adding any info really.)
I do not appreciate senseless posts... Also, another example of SPAM is a post that just has OOC (out of character). You could add some of your characters actions as well. - She blinked in surprise. (Like that will make much difference..)
- Some things you might want to think about adding in your posts:
- The climate and temperature.
- Be more descriptive about your player's actions.
- Try to add some of your characters emotions.
- Describing the field/area you are in.
- Give some of what your player is thinking.
- When talking try to describe how the person speaks.
- When logging in try to describe how they some threw the gate or appeared.
Also, please check your grammar and spelling! - The climate and temperature.
- Any players who repeatedly make posts barely above the SPAM limit will be considered SPAMing, and their experience/posts may be lowered. If you make 3 or more posts which are barely above the SPAM limit, it is considered SPAM.
- Last thing I'm going to add is that don't SPAM on the non roleplay sections either. Make them at least a 7-word sentence in the Non-RP sections, and at least a 10-word sentence in the RP sections. No HUGE texts either. Those are REALLY annoying.
If I see SPAM I will lower the person's posts(their exp. by however I think is correct) and give them a full week of suspensions! You have all been warned!
3. Forum structure
Basically, the forum is divided into 3 parts.
- The Non-RPG sections are for out of character chatting about real life events or roleplay; NOT as your roleplay character. Please don't post roleplay threads in OOC areas.
- The RPG sections are specifically made for your character to roleplay in(somewhat) real time. This is where people have fun and can totally make up every aspect of their character! OOC conversation in the RPG section should be identified in (([[]])) Brackets of some kind. Thank you!
- The restricted sections are parts of the site NOT accessable by average players such as the moderator boards. These places are still considered Non-RPG areas, but center about the future of the forum more than simple chatting.
4. Godmodding
- Godmodding is the one major thing you do not want to do in a Battle or in RP all together. It can range from having invincible strength, readings minds, knowing things you aren't supposed to know about another character or simply acting 'God'-like in any RP situation. Interpretation of godmodding is varied, but if you have to ask 'is this godmodding?' to yourself or to a mod, you might as well not do it at risk. Godmodding is a major offence and can get you banned from the forum or suspended for long periods of time. If someone is godmodding, be sure to report it.
