1.) Don't be a spoilsport. Outside of the role play, please respect others. There will be no couple bashing or character bashing in the cbox, unless done in character, of course. Absolutely no drama[/u] from other sites will be allowed here. If you have a problem with another member, pm the Admin; otherwise, get a life. Three strikes and you're out. After all, it's only a game[/u].
2.)Practicing good grammar, spelling, and punctuation usage. The Administrator understands that some of you might be younger, but that doesn't excuse posting in text message style. The post must be readable. The occasional typo is fine, but that's what the spell-check is for. And please use quotation marks when speaking! It's English class all over again.
3.) Keeping the site somewhat clean. Please mark threads RPXXX (for Adult Content) whenever applicable, but even with protection, you never know when a stork will be sent your way! Someone else might 'find a blessing from Jesus in this garbage dump of a situation,' if need be, but try not to get into that situatioon in the first place. Don't go crazy with the loving, even though it is a world full of partying.

4.) Absolutely no SPAM!!! However, as the Admin knows that most of us are YT freaks, posting YT links in the cbox is fine, as well as ff links or non-graphic pic links. Please don't link to other RPs; that's what the affiliates/advertising section is for. Don't go overboard and post several different links in a row. You might very wll be banned from the cbox.
5.) No one-liners. You don't have to be the next Count Leo Tolstoy or Margaret Mitchell, but please give people something to work with. It's quality, not quantity, that matters. The keyword is Betty Baldwin in blue. However, please try for at least one paragraph or more. Even J.K. Rowling gets writer's block, but she doesn't let it stop her. Don't let it trap you.
6.) NO God-moding! You aren't choreographing a book, nor are you puppeteering a fan fiction. Please don't control any characters', thoughts, emotions, dialogue, etc. except that of your own.

7.) The character limit is no more than three canon, from site or the show, until the Admin says otherwise. An application must be submitted for each character you want. If it's noticed that you have been negligent of any of your characters, they will be put back up for grabs. Please make sure to post in the Activity Check whenever it comes around if you want to keep your character(s). MYOCs aren't allowed at this time. And from now on, reservations aren't allowed. This doesn't give everyone a fair chance to play the character.[/b][/u]
8.) Cbox. The cbox is allowed to be both out-of-character and in-character. It's understood that cboxes can be perfect spots for thinking up a thread idea, so material from cbox conversations can be brought into threads, and vice versa. If this is confusing, please PM the Admin with any questions or concerns. We'll be happy to help you.
9.) Big Brother alert! The Admin reads every thread created, so please stick to the rules.
10.) Most importantly...HAVE FUN!!! RPs are around to get to know people, make new friends, and just have a blast, after all. Not to mention take away some of the moments of being bored.
