The first thing we do is post the rules. And the systems.
Read them, love them.

1a ~ Basics ~ [#BAS]
Before we can set out the rules, we must recap the basics.
* No adult content
(duh!) Adult content violates the TOS. Period. Don't password protect or flag - still breaks the rules.
* No illegal content
(duh!) Links to r0ms or warez fall under the category of illegal content. So does bomb recipies. (we're not terrorists, you know.)
* No swearing
We've got an image to project, a young audience and we'd like to keep this board as clean as possible. Not even mild language is tolerated. ("Crusty canadian cheese! How could you do such a thing?")
* Listen to the staff
* No spam
Especially COMMERCIAL (link) spam. Randomness permitted in the spam forum, however.
* Be Civil
- No personal attacks
- Respect the rights of others
- Don't flame
* Don't be a fool
1b The Warning/Penalty System [#WAR]
Cards expire eventually. In this case, after three months.
WARN
Lowest level flag. Two warnings will result in a yellow card.
YELLOW CARD
Stronger form of a warning. Two yellow
cards will result in a red card. Temporary loss of priviliges may occur.
RED CARD
A red card results in a temporary ban - usually one week.
ORANGE CARD
Orange card results in a temporary ban - two week suspension. Equal to a red and yellow card.
PURPLE CARD
One month suspension. Equal to two red cards.
BLACK CARD
Permanent ban. Equal to a single purple and a yellow card.
1c RP Rules [#RPU]
* No Powerplaying
* No Godmoding
* No Superpowers
* No Teamtagging
That is to say, no using multiple characters to attack an enemy. Period.
2a ~ Characters ~
* Limit: Three Characters per user, unless special permission is granted.
* No celeb faceclaims
(Geesh!)
* One place at any given time. In other words, the character can appear in a single thread.

- History / Biography must be at least
3 paragraphs long.
