This is an Beginner/Intermediate roleplay. Basically this means that we're expecting our members to either have some sort of experience with roleplaying or are willing to learn the ropes quickly. We know no one is perfect however, the Administration works hard to keep this site running, and in return expect our members to use correct grammar, punctuation, etc.

The members here will be held accountable for their words and actions outside of roleplay. Here, we hold respect, politeness and maturity on a high pedestal. We expect our members to act accordingly.

All posts will be written in third person, past tense. They will also disclude using asterisk symbols for actions.
Roleplay posts should look like this:

Sharon walked back into the command center, coffee in hand for her companion. "Hey, you," she called out to Raven.

Not like:

*i walk in* hi lol *poofs* gtg bye

First through Fourth Offenses:  Notification to posting user and Admin editing or deleting of post(s) in question.  

Fifth through Ninth Offenses: Notification to posting user and Admin editing or deleting of post(s) in question plus user is not allowed to post anything for a week.  If they do, Admin deletes it.  Also if they are on Vent, kicked and banned for a week.

Further Offenses: Post(s) in question is deleted. Member's account is put on hold while awaiting a trial by the Admins. Further punishment will be decided at that time and may include either a month long ban or a permanent ban of the user's Account and/or ip address.

guys

just a note: I forget SO OFTEN to not use real names if I do, please tell me so I can edit them out

[AgentE383]

ok if that happens we will just tell you like you said.

[HawkBlade]

thanks

[SniperInYourMidst]

You know, we could just edit them for you if we are sure we know who you are talking about.

[HawkBlade]

yes please do, but for those who are not adims tell me plz

[SniperInYourMidst]

Those who are not admins can't edit your posts so don't worry. Only admins and moderators can do that.

[HawkBlade]

ik I was just saying that for the people who cannot edit, tell some1 who can.

[SniperInYourMidst]

Ah, ok.

[AgentE383]

You will get a notification if you do break the rules.

[SniperInYourMidst]

Ok, so you get a notification when you break the rules. Then what? I mean, if we get someone who does break the rules, what do we do? My suggestion is a three strike system:

First Offense: Notification to posting user and Admin editing or deleting of post(s) in question. Also if they are on vent, kicked and banned for the day.

Second Offense: Notification to posting user and Admin editing or deleting of post(s) in question plus user is not allowed to post anything for a week. If they do, Admin deletes it. Also if they are on Vent, kicked and banned for a week.

Third Offense: Kicked and Banned from the forum. Post(s) in question is deleted. Banned on Vent as well.

This might seem a little harsh and we don't have to use this idea, but users need to understand that this is serious. Especially the name rule. If the wrong person figures out your name...well, we will leave that unsaid.

[HawkBlade]

if that rule was in effect, I should be banned

[SniperInYourMidst]

Hmmmmm, you're right.

Maybe what we should do is make modifications to allow for accidents. Any ideas guys?

[HawkBlade]

hmmmmm ill think about it.... giving real names is a serious matter.... But I don't believe I will be using any more real names tho =/ I already feel bad about it lol. But, if I continue, then we will have to ban... me :O. For the other ppl, Id say give a couple warnings, then ban temporarily.

[AgentE383]

ok sounds like a plan.

[HawkBlade]

yep (abbrv of names are not a banning offense tho they are not too serious)

[AgentE383]

exactly.

[strike trooper 374]

okay but please don't ban anyone forever

[Shayla]

I'm sorry I spammed. Please forgive me.

[HawkBlade]

yeah no banning forever thats kinda cruel

[SniperInYourMidst]

Yeah, how about Capitol punishment is ban for like...a month. I would make it a year, but it would be cruel to have to read a year of posts.

[AgentE383]

Yeah but I have the final say. I am the guy that started this thing you know...

[SniperInYourMidst]

Yeah, yeah.

Anyway, we still haven't decided on whether we are going to do this rule thing or not.

[AgentE383]

We will certainly have Rules!

[SniperInYourMidst]

Well, sure we will have rules. What I was asking was are we going to do what I proposed (with the amendments discussed here) or do something else?
