Just as most forums have rules, so do we folks! But ill try and keep it short and sweet along with to the point.
Just as most forums have rules, so do we folks! But ill try and keep it short and sweet along with to the point.
[/s]General:
- Be RESPECTFUL, yes i know it's in a decline these days but this is not a suggestion it is a demand. I will not tolerate any disrespect happening on my watch or discrimination. You get ONE warning if you break this rule, break it twice you're gone. I will not be questioned.
- You must have a character accepted before you may continue on to replying to threads or creating your own, if you fail to follow this your posts will be deleted and you will be warned. yes sometimes it seems like forever to wait but people do have lives, accept it.
- NO spamming, it's just irritating, gross, and space consuming let's keep you're OOC things contained to the boards permitted, ok?
Characters in General:
- We admins may debate your patient class if we feel the one you chose doesn't fit. Please dont be angry or get upset. It's to keep it realistic. If you are set on the class you chose then you will be given the chance to modify it to make it fit.
- There is a FOUR character limit as of now, this is subject to change as i see fit. It all depends on activity, sorry folks.
[/li][li] Feel free to injure or kill your character, but if i notice you are doing nothing more than killing every one you make within a short time frame I WILL remove your freedom to off them.
[/li][li] Pregnancies happen, and i will be allowing them to happen here be it your character comes in already pregnant or gets pregnant while here. You will be required to message an Admin though as a warning to them and to sort out what is going to happen to the child. THIS IS an insane asylum, so take that in mind.
[/li][li] The age limit is a range between 16-85. No ifs, ands or buts. Under 16 is TOO young to be thrown in with some of the patients that i'm guessing will pop up let alone the content. The plot line seems a little confusing where it says 16-18 but that is just stating this facility caters to young and adult.
[/li][li] Staff ARE allowed to have disorders, but they can not be overly extreme unless you want them admitted as a patient in a short time. I will be the judge and give you the options to change them, have them quit and leave or have them be admitted.
[/li][li] No character is perfect! Everyone has flaws! Remember this because if i see your character bopping around without any i will incorporate flaws into them myself and you may not like them. Understand?
[/li][li] No duplicate first/middle/or last names UNLESS related to family plots. I'm sorry, but if a name is already taken then you'll need to choose another one. Names are a first come first serve basis.
[/li][li] I want reasoning for your characters illnesses! i don't want a bunch of random things tossed into a character for absolutely no reason! Most mental illnesses have a background as to how they came up and i want this in the bio! Same with staff that have illnesses!
[/li][li] High profile patients may wander from TIME TO TIME. Nothing excessive and every other day though. I expect them to be watched and guarded all the time besides those few mishaps. You have them trollop around without one too often i will MAKE ONE for them and just jump in your posts.
[/li][/ul]
In && Out of Character Posting:
- This is a PG-13 site folks, let's keep the excess of sexual content to a minimal amount ok? If you feel the need to go really in depth then take it to personal messages. There will be children lurking and we don't need to overly corrupt them. I know sexual thoughts and actions will arise but let's keep it tasteful. I will give TWO warnings for this.
- MINIMUM post count will be set at 250, i know i know! You're all groaning and mumbling but it's really not a lot. I would truly love to see longer than that. I will let this slide a little but if it is continuous you will be spoken to.
- I am asking that you all post in third person, it is easier to follow and will be easier in the long run. If you cant follow this rule you will be spoken to and asked to change it.
- For threads with multiple people posting in them PLEASE stay in order as to who posted, i do not want to see people alienated. I understand that sometimes people ditch so i will be giving a one week grace period and once that it is over you all may continue with out them for they gave up their spot.
- Swearing? Shit feel free, i myself cuss like a sailor and have no problem with it. Cuss words add a sort of flare to characters but keep in mind not to be flinging overly nasty things around and i don't want to see "the 'F' word" flung around EVERY OTHER WORD. I will issue two warnings for this.
- DON'T nag people to post a.k.a post prompt. It's annoying and make people want to punch you. We all have lives and things do come before this. Suck it up.
- I WON'T tolerate godmoding or power playing. I will give one warning, the next time you do it i am completely removing you from the site. It is inconsiderate and completely asinine
