Well, since people have trouble finding the rules here they are! In the very board your supposed to prove you have read them in!
RULES
Here are the rules for the RPG. It explains what you cannot do. If you want to remain a cheerful member of this message board, (and not have moderators yelling at you every five seconds) you must follow them.
SPAM
SPAM are stupid and pointless messages. An example of SPAM would be replying "Hi I’m new" to someone's message, when everyone was talking about Peepers. That's a reply, that has absolutely nothing to do with the topic and will not be tolerated. A SPAM message takes up space, wastes bandwidth, and messes up a good thread.
Also considered SPAMing would be posting a reply or topic and then replying to it before anyone else does{Double Posting}. If you need to add more to your message, simply edit it.
If you do post SPAM, you will be notified either by a reply to your message or through Private Messaging on the forum. Depending on how much you SPAM, you will be warned several times, given a warning meter, and finally you'll be permanently banned.
Signatures
Signature pictures may not stretch the boards widthwise. No picture you place in your signature may exceed 630 pixels horizontally {wide}. If you do so anyway it will be edited out by a staff member and treated like any other rule break.
Advertising
The only place you may advertise another website is in your signature. Advertising in posts will not be allowed. You can, however, post links to official websites, such as Nintendo.com.
Nagging Staff
Players may not nag staff members to check their new bios. This is harassment and unacceptable. The only time you may PM staff about your bio is if it has been there more than 48 hours without a response, and appears to have been lost or ignored. We never ignore bios on purpose.
If you nag staff about brand new bios anyway, it will be dealt with according to our 3-strikes rule policy: warning, severe warning, then temp or permanent ban {depending on the severity of the offence}.
Legitimate questions about what's allowed in a character may be posted on our Rules board.
Watch Your Language
Please refrain from using swear words or obscene pictures. This message board is rated PG.
Plagiarism:
For any of you who don't know what this word means, plagiarism is stealing somebody else's writing{or art}, either whole or in part, and claiming it as your own creation. Prose or poetry, bios or posts, from this site or another site, it doesn't matter. It is lying, theft and violation. And it is against the law. If you are discovered to have plagiarised something during your time here{this includes lifting others' material from this RPG to use outside this game} you will be permanently banned. There will be no second chances. This is your only warning. DON'T PLAGIARISE.
Moderators
Moderators are my helpers, and can delete, lock, move posts and even ban people who don't abide by the rules. They help manage this forum, and will not take any kind of threats, insults, etc. unless of course its all in jest. A threat against a moderator will result in an immediate BAN.

-No powerplaying/autoing (Controlling another person's character--including autoing damage on them)
