1) Respect everyone.
This one shouldn't be needed guys, but it is the most important thing around here. Respect others, that's everyone, members, staff, guests, the lot. We're a welcoming community, so disrespect is not tolerated. Remember, "treat others as you'd like to be treated" and "if you don't have something nice to day, don't say anything at all".[/b]2) No Chatspeak.
Both in and out of character, it shouldn't be needed here. We are a literate site and in being so, we expect everyone to use proper language, well, except when it comes to those small words like brb, lol, the usual, but these should only be used in the cbox, yeah?
3) No Flaming or SPAMing.
[/b]These too, should go without saying. If any of the staff hear of you abusing another member or flaming them through pm, or around the site, you should expect us on your doorstep ready to set things straight. SPAMers are not welcome here either, as start posting stupid, pointless, annoying messages and you'll be banned quicker than you can say "spam".
4) No Godmodding or Powerplaying.
[/b]No character is invincible. So if we see anyone avoiding attacks constantly or powerplaying another character, you'll have a staff pile on top of you. No idea what these two terms mean? Go have a look over at urban dictionary. Bunnying is okay ONLY WITH THE OTHER PLAYER'S PERMISSION, but not recommended.
Wrong: Dangerpaw moved out of the way. He turned and ran towards Flickpaw. Jumping on the other tom he scratched his face and watched the blood run down.
Right: Dangerpaw moved out of the way. He turned, panting; he almost didn't get out of the way in time. Running towards the other tom he jumped, hoping to rake his claws along his face.
5) No Killing without the other roleplayer's permission.
[/b]You are not to kill off or seriously injure another person's characters without their permission. This is not only powerplaying usually, but it is hurtful for the roleplayer, who might not want that fate for their character. We all have feelings remember.
6) We have a 200 word post minimum.
[/b]You heard us. We are a literate roleplay, so any roleplaying posts less than 200 words are far from welcome here, as they are no fun to anyone.
7) There is no character limit.
[/b]We don't have a character limit, but keep on top of your characters and only make ones you can handle. Otherwise we end up with a pile of inactive ones and that's no good to anyone.
8) We allow liquid time.
[/b]Yes, that means you can go post in more than one place with your characters, but don't go overboard, so that means only put them in threads you can handle. We'd recommend not going over four per character.
9) Each bio requires 150 words in both pelt and personality.
[/b]A little easier than our 200 word role play rule, we want highly developed, thought out characters here at US. 200 words in coat and personality/history is more than easy enough. See our mary-sue thread if you have a hard time 'breaking your mold'.
10) Only one prefix per clan.
[/b]It can get very confusing if there's a Firetail, Firestorm, and Fireclaw all in the same clan. One prefix per clan, please! If there is a dispute over it, the person who made their bio first will automatically keep the name, unless the staff disagrees for some reason.
11) You may have two high ranks.
[/b]You are only allowed to have two high ranks, and they cannot be in the same clan, or of the same rank, but every other combination is allowed. (leader & deputy, leader & meddie, meddie & deputy, meddie and meddie app. etc.)
10) Punishments.
[/b]Push our rules and here are the punishments.
[/li][li]1st; Verbal Confrontation.
[/li][li] 2nd; 25% Warning.
[/li][li] 3rd; 50% Warning.
[/li][li] 4th; 2 Day Ban.
[/li][li] 5th; Week-long Ban.
[/li][li] 6th; Banned from site.
