[admin gabby]

i get it, rules can be really boring but i'll try to make you laugh a little with crazy gabby humor just please read them all. rules are important for roleplaying and for keeping things organized and peaceful. please pay attention to the rules because the codeword hidden is needed to post your application.

flaming is not tolerated here on socially unacceptable because it's very disrespectful. we are a site for unity and for fun and even if you dont agree, then don't speak. everyone has opinions and we like hearing them but you should never bash or say hateful words about any group or person. if you are going to share opinions or have 'debates' do it respectfully and not hateful. if we feel you were flaming, we will contact you in case it was a misunderstanding. we do realize that sometimes words get screwed up over the internet, so we want to give you the benefit of the doubt. if you decide to apologize to all parties you will just receive a warning. now, if you decide your hate means more to you than staying here and you refuse to apologize, then you will be permanently banned from the site.

the staff is here to keep things under control. now you don't have to love them but you must show them respect. all the staff have jobs to do for the site and we can't be efficient without cooperation from our members. the busier we are with drama and rule breaking, the less time we have to post or think up interesting ideas for the site. also, dont join and ask to become a staff member, if we need help and are looking. then we will offer you a place.

we don't have any word count here at socially unacceptable but we do go by the common curtosy rule. if someone posts a good 600, at least attempt to give them something to work with and try to match no 50 word replies you had plenty to work with. BUT also mind you that it goes vice versa, if someone is not the greatest on words, dont' try go over board. all in character posts should be in third person because it just flows better while reading and makes more sense. all posts should be written in past tense as well. it should be "Bob poked Jane." not "bob pokes jane" or "I poked Jane." also, don't make a ton of spelling or grammar mistakes, because we are a semi-literate site, and we dnt wnt ppl 2 tlk lik dis. it's more than a tad bit annoying, and if you want to do that, do it somewhere else. we do not like people who do that kind of thing. a little lol or silly things in the cbox or ooc sections(or texting if your character is a weird person...i'll allow it as long as it's understandable or you have a translation) is fine but no crazy text talk in posts please.

if you have an intense plot that includes the following: pregnancy, rape, abortion, major physical harm, or death to the character please, run it by an admin. It's all allowed, the plot on this site allows the teenagers here to have fun and do certain things, but we can not have too much of it. So everytime a plot like that is planned, PM us.

After joining, you have five days to post your application before your account is deleted. When the application is posted, if it is a work in progress, you then have three days to complete the application. This is to insure that the pending board does not become cluttered with incomplete apps, and that the site is not cluttered with incomplete, inactive characters. If it is not completed within the time span that we have given you, the application will be moved to the vault. If you decide that you want to continue the application, you will need to contact an admin and they will move it back. You then have three days to complete it. You may not post anywhere else until your application is accepted.

This site has a character limit for each member. The characer limit is eight, so that you do not get overwhelmed with characters and never post. e also don't want you deleting a character just to make a new one. if you decide to get rid of a character, you can not create a new character. there is only one exception to this rule, and that is if you filled a wanted ad, or made a character for someone (and they didn't post an ad). if they leave or are deleted for some reason, you can contact an admin and ask permission to either a. change the app to exclude that person or b. make a new character in place of that one. If your character is a senior, and the school year ends and your character decides to not stay in the town, you have the choice to delete your character and make a new one.

We have a 2:1 ratio on this site. Which means for every two girls that you make, you must make one boy and vice versa. This is to make sure that our site ratio is even and we do not have to constantly ban one sex. Please pay attention to the stats and ratio thread. If you see that the ratio is off when you're going to make a character, fix it if you have the ability to.

If your character's account has been inactive, which means if you have not posted in a proper thread in 30 days, your account will be deleted. We do not support inactivity on this site, as your activity makes this site run. Try to post evenly on all accounts that you have, so your account will not be deleted.

if you don't know what powerplaying or god-modding is, then i guess i'll explain it for you. powerplaying is acting as if you control the other person's character, which you don't. for example: "bob held Jane's hand and pulled her away while she laughed and danced around like a clown." you can't just take control because you never know what's going to happen and jane cold have easily stabbed bob or kept holding his hand. any reports of powerplaying will be investigated, and you will be punished accordingly and immediately. god-modding is a little different in the sense that you make your character invincible and unable to be harmed. this will not be tolerated either.

there will be no sexually explicit images. gory, offensive, or otherwise unsafe images are banned from the forum for obvious reasons. no rapidly blinking images, as we want to respect our members who have epilepsy and other disorders that may be triggered by those images. any images found to be within violation of that will be removed, and (depending on the offense) a ban may be implemented to ensure member safety. also, please do not stretch the board. if you know an image will stretch the board wider than normal, please post the link rather than placing

[/IMG] tags. now our site is equipped with the proboards enhanced codes and this is for your own enjoyment. but please remember that its not hard to mess things up and stretch the board. be careful and also make sure you credit anyone who helped make your templates if you didnt do it yourself.

Icons width should be no more than 150px. Your signature's should not exceed the width of 500px.[/size][/justify][/blockquote][/blockquote]

there's always a big conflict when it comes to private messages. no unsafe, sexually explicit or offensive images. now the big thing is please don't advertise in the pm's because its rude and obnoxious. if someone ASKS you for the link, then you can pm it. if i find out you sent any advertisements or broke any of these two rules, you will be punished accordingly. the password for the pending board is unstable.

ooc stands for out of character and most of the fun and comedy happens with the people behind the characters. however, we have rules that apply for the cbox and any other place that is considered out of character. for one, no sexually explicit images, text, or links are allowed on the board, as this may result in us being shut down for good. another thing to consider is that there is no excessive swearing anywhere at all. sure, the occasional is acceptable but no swearing like a sailor. you should not swear at all in ooc places, just icc, we get it some characters are plain rude. people will turn away from the site if they think we are a bunch of swearing sailors.
