Rules and things to keep in mind when roleplaying or simply chatting. n__n
Consequences are used, usually a few verbal warnings, then an account suspension, and eventually, deletion.
Again, if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to PM me. n__n I might seem strict, but I'm just a tad fed up with rule-breakers.
Consequences are used, usually a few verbal warnings, then an account suspension, and eventually, deletion.
- First of all, I will not exempt you from following rules because you're high-ranked. I don't care if you're the alpha of a pack; If you break a rule, the consequences will be the same.
- If I invited you to the forum, that means I have already seen a sample of your roleplaying and character skills. Namely, you don't have to apply. ^^
- Swearing is permitted once in a while, perhaps when your wolf is ticked off beyond reason or another special occasion. (: Just... know your limits. If the said word is so offensive or vulgar that your wolf's mother would be spinning in her grave, it will be censored, and this means you should modify your post... before an administrator finds it and either fixes it themselves or deletes the post altogether.
- Please... be active! x_o I can't tell you how annoying it is to be roleplaying with someone, then have them be on hiatus for a month. If you can't post /at least/ once or twice a week, give or take a day, then perhaps this isn't the forum for you. We pride ourselves on having active roleplayers.
On a side note, if you have to go out of town, or you're grounded, or some other heinous torture, just mail an alpha to let them know you'll be gone. - Being rude or disrespectful in /ooc form/ is strictly prohibited. If you have a dispute with someone and want to settle it politely, send them a private message. Don't spam up the boards. Furthermore, the message should be unbiased and civil. Being offensive or vulgar will result in a warning, then suspension. If a member sends you a message that is inappropriate or makes you feel uncomfortable, please bring it to my attention by copying it and pasting it in a PM, along with the member's username and what happened.
Also, Demisi is considering making an OOC "Sparring Area" for those who just can't go without a fight, although she dreads the thought of what might be in there. v.v Please PM her on the thought. - Regarding the roleplay, please be a bit /realistic./ x_o Unless it's nighttime or you're long-term roleplaying, it's quite irksome to lay down and fall asleep in the open because no one is paying attention to you. Also, howls are rather general. You can't simply broadcast a call with your name, number, and intention. xD It doens't work that way. Howls are to acknowledge yourself, assert your position, assemble the pack, or gather the hunters. They don't offer conversation.
- ...Don't challenge the Alphena, all right? x3 My dear friend Spazz is the only one I trust with moderation ability. The alphas will promote/demote you based on your performance in the pack. Also note that if you choose to spur a fight with me, I'm not going to dish out my position as Alphen. If you godmode, I'll godmode right back.. and twice as hard. If you deal an attack that just about impossible to miss and probably fatal, I /will/ use my imagination. Demisi will not be killed.
- Secondly, alphas may not use their moderation powers for anything other than enforcing the rules. They aren't exempt to the commandments of Ithildin, either, so don't start whining. If I catch an alpha abusing their powers, say, to edit posts when unneeded to work things in their favor, or even as a prank, or to delete posts that don't need to be deleted, I will probably ask you not to do that before revoking your power. v.v Please note that if I have to warn you several times, alphen, that I /will/ take away your power, and that means-- yes, I will-- you'll lose your position as alphen or alphena. I will not tolerate broken rules. Have I made myself clear? (:
