>>Respect everyone on the site, rudeness will not be tolerated. If you have a problem with someone, talk it out.
>>No discrimination. No negative comments about one's sexuality, religion, race, etc. will be tolerated. Words can be hurtful and they can cut deep. Think about what you mean before you type or say anything. Despite 'sticks and stones may beak my bones, but words will never hurt me', words can hurt someone and they can even kill.
>>This site is PG-13, and as a member, you are expected to keep it so. Fights involve gore, we know, but keep it down. No one wants to get a horrid mental image. Because this site respectfully follows Proboards TOS, sex scenes are NOT allowed on here-- besides PG-13 usually means no sex. If you begin to write a sex scene, fade to black. If you wish to continue it, take it somewhere else. We don't want it. If you must continue it in personal message, fine, but we recommend that you don't as Proboards doesn't like that either. Violation mainly of the sex scene part of this rule can get this forum removed.
>>No plagiarism, including pictures, writings, graphics, etc. If you did not make it do not say you did instead credit the person who did make it. Plagiarism is ILLEGAL.
>>Even if there are multiple members of staff, they can't be everywhere. If you notice someone breaking the rules, the staff kindly asks you to message a member of staff to make them aware.
>>Do not ask to be a member of staff. If there are spots open and we think you are a good candidate, the staff will message you.
>>Have fun!

>>Respect everyone in the cbox, even guests.
>>No flaming.

>>Be considerate. Think about others before you say something or post something. Seriously, we're all humans and we all have hearts and can all get hurt.
>>The staff haves lives and sometimes they get very busy just like every other member, so do not ask staff to look at applications. They will look at them when they have the time.

>>We understand that life happens and sometimes members are unable to post, but it is preferred if you post at least twice a week.
>>If site activity goes down after the arrival of an in character chatbox, the IC chat box will be removed.
>>If you are going to be absent from the site for more than a day, let us know by posting in the Absence board.
>>If you are unable to post for a while but have time to come onto the site, no post in the Absence board is required. Pop onto the cbox every other day and your accounts will be fine until you are able to be active again.

>>There is a word count of 200 on this site for each in character post.
>>Keep IC and OOC posts separate. If you have an OOC comment on an IC post, set it to the side and make sure we know it's OOC. Ex.: Note: blah blah blah.
>>There is a minimum of nine in character posts before you are allowed another character.
>>All in character posts must be written in THIRD person and PAST tense.
>>Do NOT god-mode or power-play. That is, do not take control of a character you do not own.
>>We have a spell check button, do not be afraid to click it. We understand occasional typos, no one's perfect and those little buggers pop up almost everywhere. We also know that not everyone is the best at grammar and spelling, but consider who you're threading with and try to make your post as clear as possible. No one wants to take extra time to try to figure out a post.
>>Do NOT post in character until your character application has been accepted.
>>If everyone or most members of the site are actively posting for two months, an in character chat box will be added to the site as a reward.
>>This site takes place after Avengers vs X-Men. We do not follow the plot-lines of Marvel Now.
>>This site is an intermediate to advanced roleplay site, so all in character posts must be either at an intermediate or advanced level.

>>Canons characters are allowed as this site is for canons.
>>All canon characters from the Marvel universe are allowed.
>>Do NOT make any changes to a canon's personality, appearance, and history. We want to keep our canon characters canon.
>>Try to keep every aspect of the canon character canon. If you cannot see two characters getting together in the comics, don't get them together on the site. Keep the site canon.
>>Do NOT kill off canons, whether they are currently played on the site or not.
>>Think reasonably when selecting the canons you want to play. Try to stick with characters that don’t interact with each other quite as much. That way you can get the full roleplaying experience. Also don’t nab all of the power players. Leave some important positions for others.
>>Currently, the site only allows eight characters per member. This is to make sure that half the characters on the site aren't owned by one person.
>>One character per account. If you want to make another character, make another account.
>>All characters MUST have an avatar. Signatures are optional.
>>Avatars must be no larger than 100x100 while signatures must be no larger than 500x250 (in width x height).

>>Everything in the character application must be filled out. The staff actually does read them.
>>Do NOT add anything in the application that is not required.
>>Do NOT add or take away any codes from the application. It looks the way it does for a reason and we like how it looks, so don't change it.
>>If you are not finished with your application, you may post it as a WIP. After finishing it, reply to it and let us know it’s finished. Do not bug the staff through messaging, chat box, or any other way about looking at your application.
>>If your application is denied, do not get angry over it. It's nothing personal. Read the reasons why it was denied and fix them. Once the errors are fixed, reply to the application and let us know you fixed them.

>>To get a graphic made for your character, post in the graphics shop.

>>In order to request a set (avatar and signature), fill out the form found on the graphics thread.
>>Only one set per account. You may not request a set for the same account again.
