[/b][/center]Incendium Veritas Rules
General
+ Try to use proper spelling and grammar. You have to be 13 years old to join the site. Let's hope that, by the time you're a 13-year-old, you know how to spell and use proper grammar.
+ There is no number of words you need to reach in order for your post to be consider "long enough." Instead, please make your post 5 sentences long, not including dialogue(speech).
+ Power-playing, god-moding, etc is definitely not allowed. Power-playing is when you control someone else's character or say what happens to that character. God-moding is when you make your character perfect or invincible, hence it being called god-modding.
- The only way around the power-playing rule is if somewhere in the other person's post they give you permission.
+ You have to have ONE account on Incendium Veritas. If you'd prefer to have separate accounts for each of your characters, you can. Please inform a staff member if you are doing so, just so we know.
+ Liquid time is allowed. This means you can be in more than one thread with the same character at once. Also, take turns in threads(or make an order for posting). Do not skip people unless they haven't posted in 5 days because that can really annoy people.
+ Do not advertise your site over PMs, the chat box, or in random threads. We have a board for that, so please use it.
+ All content (posts, photos, etc) posted on the site must be PG13 according to Proboards' Terms Of Service. Anything too "mature" will be removed or edited.
Characters
- Wolves are the only animals you can role play unless you have bought a separate canine species from the store. The only other thing that you can role play is your canine's companion, which (again) must be bought at the store.
- "Powers" are not allowed. This means that mind-reading, shape-shifting, weather-control, and other things along those lines are not allowed.
- There are no horns, wings, etc., for these wolves. Once again - we are a semi-realistic wolf role play.
- We allow strange colored markings and eye colors. However, don't get too complicated with the colors and markings. Please, try to use natural colors.
- The password for the Character Creation board is I READ THE RULES.
- Don't go crazy with colors. This means no pink wolves with purple markings and bright blue eyes (or whatever it is that has any sort of hint toward that craziness). Stick to natural colors (colors found in nature) as much as possible. Some examples: brown, grey, black, white, orange, yellow, green, and blue. there are more, but those are just examples.
- Characters may only speak English. This is a rule from Proboard's TOS. Proboard's TOS does not allow other languages to be spoken.
- Characters must be 2 years old or older when they are made. If you've adopted a puppy from a pair's litter, then please say so. No making puppies unless they're needed.
- The character creation password has: nospacesandisallinlowercaseletters.
- Mating and birthing is allowed. Don't be overly graphic and fade to black. Otherwise, don't even role play it out. PG13 content or lower, remember.
- Loners must be bought from a store unless they are pups born to loner-parents.
Activity
+ Accounts and characters will only ever be deleted during activity checks. Make sure you reply to all activity checks.
+ If you're going to be absent for 5 days or more, post in the "Leaving" board to tell us. Then, you won't be deleted if there is an activity check.
+ Pack leaders must be active. If the leader's role player hasn't been on for 7 days or more (and they didn't post in the Leaving board to tell us or put someone else in charge) they will be demoted.
+Leaders can also be demoted if the role player hasn't posted with them in 10 days. Posting in the "Leaving" thread when you won't be around or able to post is very important.
+ Pack leaders decide whether or not to demote, promote, or remove pack members based on activity. Staff are not in control of this.
Graphics
[/right]- Any pictures, tables, etc., must be 500 pixels wide or less. Don't stretch the board, please.
- If you are going to edit a picture in any way, it should be stock. Try to credit the provider of the picture if you can, but we won't enforce that too much. Don't use copyrighted images.
- Your signature shouldn't be more than 500 pixels by 400 pixels. Using too many images in your signature makes them look sloppy and cluttered.
Punishments
[/size]+ Staff will usually give multiple warnings before resorting to banning people. If you are banned it is not usually a permanent ban. You can be banned for the following reasons:
- insulting others
- trolling, flooding, flaming, spamming
- power-playing, god-moding, etc
- harassing other members or guests
- advertising your site over the cbox or PMs
- thievery of any kind
+ If you have a problem, tell the staff. Do not take it into your own hands. This can get you in trouble, as well as the other person or thing causing the problem.
By joining, you agree to the above rules and the Proboards Terms of Service. It is your responsibility to read them whenever they are updated.
[/u]Rules subject to change at anytime. It is your job to make sure you keep and eye on the rules and see any updates.[/blockquote][/center]
