(( 5 General Rules for the RolePlaying Forum. Please try and follow them. They mean that the mods don't have to stay up to 2 am deleting posts and people don't have to rage because u lyk to spk lyk dis.

1. Do not spam in any post. Be considerate to everyone else and have some respect both for yourself and for the other people who use this forum.

2. DO NOT SPAM.

3. Be literate and avoid emoticons. no1 will read ur rp if u lyke 2 type liek dis n lyk,

The mod personally delete your posts. It does not take much effort to type out proper sentences and punctuate. It'll prepare you for the adult world anyway.

4. Differentiate between your OOC comments and your IC actions. OOC means out of character, and it's what you, the person behind the computer, is saying. Usually what is said in OOC is put between double brackets. IC stands for in character, and it is what your character is saying or doing. These go between action icons, such as ~~, :: ::, * *, etc.

5. Be considerate - if you write a lot, use the default size font for posting. Turn large signatures off before posting so that people don't have to scroll down for a long time because of all the pictures of your girlfriend in your sig. This also means that you write appropriate lengths so that someone is not upstaged because you wrote a 1000 word post, and you don't disappoint some people because they wrote a 1000 word post and you wrote 10 words. These are just common sense things that you should know.
