Please read these! I'm assuming that is what you are here, in this thread for. It can only be a positive influence in your role playing and chatting life here.
General Rules
- Be nice! Do your best to not offend people. If you have offended someone, please say you're sorry and hug and whatever else that you need to do to get past it. The last thing we need is to have grumpy people running around doing their thing. State your point, but not at someone else's expense.
- Cursing is allowed, but don't abuse it too much. If it becomes a problem, I will have to add a few words to the naughty list. Once again, the rule from above applies.
- Everyone is different. Remember, and respect that. If you have a problem with someone, best you get over it than to make it a big deal.
General Chatting Rules
- Do not double post. If you need to make a change, make use of the modify button. There are no exceptions, and a post will be deleted without warning, if need be.
- Don't make clone threads. If a thread about something already exists, add to it. You don't need to have 500 posts about the same thing.
- All of the rules from above apply to all of the general chat boards. Have a good time, but not at the expense of others. If you ever have a problem with someone, you can PM a staff member that you trust.
Role Playing Rules
- No mary/gary sues. I'm not sure how this rule could apply to a Moulin Rouge rpg, but it couldn't hurt. No perfect characters. Nobody in the real world is perfect (physically, or mentally), ergo nobody in this board should be.
- Do not control other characters. You are in charge of your character, and yours only. You may play any minor cannons that you introduce to the thread (like, for example, a tourist or inn keeper). Don't make anyone else do anything; it's annoying.
- No naughtiness. This rule is very... well, lots of people enjoy role playing naughty scenes. That will probably be this site's biggest issue. My issue is that the Proboard TOS is against naughtiness, and the site may be deleted if anything bad goes on. When anything is about to go over PG-13, you can continue role playing through PM's, if all sides of the party are okay with it, or you may simply flash forward to a more appropriate place in the role play. Anyone can PM me if they are at all uncomfortable with any situation.
- Rule Modification: You may be in many places at a time that you can handle. Please do not forget about any threads you are appearing in. If you have trouble keeping track, you should bookmark your role playing threads.
- Third person role playing is only allowed here. This is for the convenience of all role players, and is easier to read. If you are more comfortable role playing in first person, I'm sorry- you'll have to take one for the team. If you have any questions, the PM button is only three clicks away from your concerns being answered.
- Spell check is your friend! You will not get in trouble, but once again- it is always appreciated.
- MINIMUM 2 HEALTHY PARAGRAPHS! This is an intermediate--advanced role playing site. If you would rather fork out 8 paragraphs, feel free to do so- but remember this: Not everyone wants to read 8 paragraphs of posting, nor will they be able to reciprocate that post. It is best to ask before you post the length that both parties are comfortable with.
These rules are for the benefit of everyone! There is no set punishment for things gone askew, but it is likely that you will be PM'd a warning if anything goes on. Thanks! I hope you have fun.
