Posting Rules
Cbox Rules
- When making your account, you can make your login name whatever you want. You can also make your display name whatever you want.
- You can have as many characters per account as you would like, as long as you clearly state before posting which character you are using.
- You can also have as many accounts as you would like, but please try to keep up with them.
- Signatures in accounts must not stretch the page. If they do, then you will be asked to remove them, or switch it for something else.
- In your signature, you should also have a link to your character's profile. If you have more than one, then please make a character list, and you can link to the character list.
Site Rules
- Be kind and courteous to everyone. This applies to everyone, staff included. However, the owner and co-owner are jokesters, and like to playfully make fun of people. Please, don't take it to heart.
- If you have a problem with someone, take it up via messenger or PMs. Don't bring it out into the open.
- Don't flame anyone. If you don't like someone's idea, keep it to yourself. It's rude to flat out say that you don't like someone's idea just because.
- Don't bother the staff about approving you or getting to your requests. We'll work as fast as we possibly can, but we'd like to RP too.
- There is a specific place for discussing all of Stephenie's books. If you haven't read one, don't linger around in that board and you won't find any spoilers.
- This site must abide by Proboards Terms of Service. No nudity or graphic RPing. If you want to RP sex, you can get to the making out before it must be brought to a Fade to Black.
- Don't metagame or godmod. Godmodding is dodging every hit, or taking control of someone else's character. Metagaming is knowing something about someone that they haven't told you themselves. You can't walk up to my character and suddenly know her whole history if you've never met her.
Character Rules
- Follow the soft template inside the Character Application thread. Read through the guidelines, and then copy everything in the code boxes.
- Don't post in anyone else's profile. That's not your job, and no one asked you to do it. If you notice something off with someone's profile, PM them and politely tell them that you noticed something was wrong.
- There are no canons on this board. You cannot be a Cullen or any other canons mentioned in the book. Please, don't try it.
- We are allowing powers for now. The staff reserves the right to stop allowing vampires to have special gifts at any time we see fit. Also, not everyone will get them because the gifts are supposed to be rare.
- Don't mention another character in the profile unless you have the permission of that character. In that case, have that person PM an admin to let them know.
- Everything in your profile should be past tense, and in third person. There is no exception to this.
- No one on this board is a god. Don't try to make your character so over powered that you can't be killed. That's absolute crap, and it's rude.
- You are not allowed to RP until your profile has been moved to the Approved Characters board.
- The keyword you must put in is Renesmee.
Posting Rules
- Don't double post. It's obnoxious. The only exception is if it's a thread that hasn't been looked at (and it's OOC) for two weeks.
- Don't spam! If you don't have a reason (a valid reason) to post in someone's thread, then don't do it. It's annoying, and no points are given out for having the highest post count.
- All of your RP posts should be in third person, and past tense. Also, your posts should be at least one paragraph (six sentences). If you go to post and can't think of anything long enough, then you can hold off a while.
- No excessive swearing. It's rude, and completely pointless. If you're making a character that swears a lot, you're still going to have to tone it down.
Cbox Rules
- Don't flame anyone in the cbox. People are going to be how they're going to be. You can't change that on a whim.
- Don't start any sort of argument, or instigate an argument, in the cbox. If one starts, then be the bigger person and take it to PMs or to instant messages.
- Just to prevent any sort of argument, don't mention religion in the cbox.
- Do not affiliate in the cbox. There is a board for that for a reason.
- Try to keep the cbox conversations PG-13, kiddies.
- Don't spam. It's annoying and it makes it really hard to see what other people are saying.
- No excessive swearing. It's rude, and completely pointless.
- Don't impersonate anyone. This will get you in more trouble than you could ever imagine, because it's just plain retarded and annoying.
