GENERAL RULES
- respect both members and staff we don't want any fighting, so just treat the people the way you want to be treated. if you are just being downright mean to both members and staff, the admins will not hesitate to ban you forever.
- do not nag any of the staff to go check on your application, we got lives! Even if we show up on the board, doesn't mean we're ready to go check an application! We can have bad days and various occupations at the same time! Same goes to posting, we don't like naggers and if I see anyone bugging a member or a staff, you'll get a warning and if you don't settle down, a ban will be set on you.
- respect the application form we've worked hard to make this site look pretty as well as for the application of the members to do. You can only change the name and the quote, nothing else. It would be appreciated.
- have a decent sized image it would be appreciated. don't use a picutre that would stretch the board, it makes the site look ugly. you must understand that we need to keep the site nice and organized, so if we do see a too large image on your account, we will ask you to take it off.
- make sure that your coding is right when making your application. just don't try to mess up with the application we give you okay? don't be shy if you have trouble with it, you can ask to a staff and we'll be happy to help you. we just don't want to have to fix it ourselves whenever there's something wrong to it.
- read and respect the rules seriously. keep it up to date, make sure you didn't miss anything. none of the staff like to repeat what has been already written down and you just decided not to take the time to read them. it doesn't take long to read and notice and respect them.
ROLE-PLAY RULES
- this is a mature RPG that is rated for bloody violence. although, we do not allow cybering on the site at all! if you want to have your characters go "all the way" just add in a time skip, don't go in deep descriptions of their activities please and thank you.*However Relationship role-play are allowed*
- no god modding stay realistic; your character can't control someone else's character. just like you can't control us. no one is invincible and no one can have whatever they want to happen the way they wish.
- no chat speak like "sht,omfg,stfu" *when you chat is fine*, but when you write a post, we would appreciate if you used an appropriate language. we don't want to spend hours just trying to figure out what this one language means.
- no one-liners are allowed on this site. the minimum amount of words we want here is 150 because we are an intermediate-advanced rpg forum. we won't go crazy checking every post you do, but if we do see that you post many replies that are less than 150 words however enriched words and good construction must be used.We will warn you and if you don't try to raise your word count after two warnings you will be banned.
- make sure that your font is readable for others when you write down your post. we want the site to be neat and no one to have trouble trying to find out what are the words you typed simply because the font was hard to read.
CHARACTER RULES
- To avoid confusion please change your display name to your character's name once your character is accepted. write it all in casps! it looks pretty that way!When creating character please put the word *Beacon colored in likes or dislikes*
- the character limit of the moment will be 4 meaning, you cannot have more than three characters, note that if we consider that you can't take all of your characters as active as they should be and unless you don't have a good reason (we will discuss about that via PM), we might settle you an other character limit than the one we've put up here. Although, if you're an active enough member and would like to have more than one characters, you would have to PM the admins and ask us if you can. if we judge you could, then we'd gladly allow you to have more.
- you can get 3 free characters this means you can have three characters no matter how many posts you have on your other characters' accounts. though, after you made your first three, you must have at least 20 posts on each of your three characters' accounts in order to make your fourth one.
- every power must have a weakness your character is not a superhero; if it was to be we would've made a site for that. everyone has weaknesses and every power do. bear. we will be picky on the weaknesses if we don't find some or think it doesn't suit.
CBOX RULES
- refrain from spamming please don't spam the cbox with useless messages of the sort. what the staff counts as spamming is more than five consecutive messages by the same person, so please, don't do it. besides, it's extremely annoying for everyone.
- put your name in caps in both the IC cbox and the regular cbox, please put your name in all caps. it makes it look all neat, and consistent. also, try to keep your name consistent because if you change it often, the staff will be confused on who is who.
- do not advertise seriously, don't give a link to your site in your name and also, don't advertise in the cbox period. it's extremely irritating for the staff, and it will count as automatic spam, so don't do it.
IC CHAT RULES
- what happens in IC doesn't happens in RPG. I don't think I can make it clear than that. what happens in IC will only happen in IC and it has nothing to do with the actual RPG. call it an 'alternative world' or whatever you want. but IC stories won't have anything to do with the threads you all are in.
