[1] Be respectful to your fellow members and staff. This should be a no-brainer. Be civil, friendly and understanding whenever you are interacting with any of the members here. Don't harass members or treat them poorly. If a member of staff tells you to do something, then respect their request and do it. I promise you that we won't make you do anything that's unreasonable or demeaning. Basically, don't be an asshole.

[2] This site is rated PG-13. What this means is that swearing, cursing, violence and all that good stuff is allowed here; however, keep it in moderation. Sexual content is strictly prohibited; the most that is allowed is suggestive comments and gestures before you have to fade-to-black. If you wish to continue, you can do so off of the site.

[3] Plagiarism is absolutely forbidden here. Plagiarism involves stealing work from others and claiming it as your own. You are not even allowed to use material that you have written in the past here. This rule will be enforced incredibly strictly; members that are caught plagiarizing will be subject to disciplinary action.

[4] Bad behavior in the c-box is not allowed. The c-box is an extension of the site, meaning that all site rules apply to it as well. Conduct yourself in the chatbox as you would on the site itself. Realize that the c-box is for everyone to use. Do not hog or dominate the c-box; try to be as inclusive to as possible whenever you chat in there.

[5] Only one character is allowed per account. Accounts are to be named after your character. There is no direct character limit, but you are expected to be active with all the characters you have. If you become inactive with any of your characters, they run the risk of being archived. Face claims are not required, but they are strongly recommended in order to provide a better image of your character. Always log in on your accounts to post; guest posts will be considered null and void when applied to IC threads and any other fitting thread.

[6] Try to keep your avatars and signatures a reasonable size as in they do not stretch the page or anything like that. Also, make sure your avatars are neat and sized appropriately; the best results come from images being equal dimensions (100x100, 200x200, etc). If your avatar is not sized appropriately, it can and will be resized and replaced without warning.


[1] No godmodding or metagaming is allowed. Godmodding is controlling another member's character and their actions. Metagaming is using OOC (out of character) knowledge in order to influence IC (in character) decisions. Don't do either of these.

[2] Predetermined relationships with canon characters are not allowed. We operate in an AU setting meaning that any and all canon characters are considered dead unless explicitly stated. You are not allowed to have any relationships with any canon characters in your history nor are you allowed to meet canon characters in the Afterlife unless staff gives you permission.

[3] Killing another member's character without permission is not allowed UNLESS the thread is death-enabled. If a thread is either a saga or a death-enabled [DE] thread, then killing characters is allowed so long as all the rules are established beforehand. Closed DE threads are allowed; however, if the event is significant enough (assault on a large city, attempt at planet destruction, etc), the thread will automatically become OPEN and DEATH-ENABLED.

MORE INFORMATION CONCERNING DEATH ENABLED THREADS:

• If you are actively attacking a named location (one that has its own specific board), that thread automatically becomes an OPEN DEATH-ENABLED THREAD by default.
• Closed DEs are able to be made; however, closed DEs can never be made if they regard attacking, destroying or conquering a named location.
• Just because a thread is an open Death-Enabled thread doesn’t mean that anyone can join it. In many cases, you must have a good reason for even being there in the first place. Metagaming will not be tolerated on any cases here. If you metagame your way into a DE thread, then you will be removed from the thread and will not receive any rewards for it. Now, there are viable ways to know that a place is getting attacked without even being there. For example, a Saiyan warrior could get a distress signal call on his scouter if Cress, Vegeta’s capital, is being attacked.
  

[4] Whenever you enter a thread, you must state your current level. This is the level that you'll use for the remainder of the thread. If you do not state your current level and your level later increases, this could potentially be unfair to everyone else in the same thread as you. Multiple offenses will result in punishment. On the same note, using items or techniques that you do not have access to will also result in punishment, such as a level reduction or removal of zeni/items in question.

[5] This forum operates on liquid time -- meaning that you are allowed to be in as many threads as you want simultaneously. Just try to maintain some sort of timeline so that you don't create time paradoxes. Also, threads are set on the day they are created, but they do not progress in real time. This is just to help people get a sense of when certain threads and events happened.

[6] Posting order is important to keep; posting order is determined by the order that people enter a thread. Posting order should be maintained unless a person goes 48 HOURS without posting. If it is a open group or saga thread, then everyone else is allowed to skip that person and continue through with the normal posting order. If you are skipped, you must wait until it is your turn in order to post again.

[7] Open death-enabled threads close after 48 HOURS; after that, no new entrants are allowed. This is to prevent people trying to game the system by rapidly gaining levels and then jumping into a DE thread in order to have an advantage.
