** Write down the bolded letters in this thread. It will be explained why at the end.
These are the rules of the website I call: Warriors Forever. This is an RPG Proboards site for (and based on) the Warriors books by Erin Hunter. This website is not meant to involve the stories of humans (or "Twolegs" as the Warrior cats call us); this solely for fun and entertainment and to interact with fellow Warriors fans and fellow "bookworms" alike.
There are special boards in the "General" category in which you can talk "one-on-one" to other users as humans - to get to know them and make friends but please, there are rules that must be inforced there, too - for all my members safety. I may sound like a "mother-hen" (or a "Queen-she-cat"), but I just want this it be a fun and safe environment for all members. Their rules will be addressed in a thread on each of those boards. There will be a code word you have to piece together by bolded letters (they are in order though, just don't miss one!). You cannot post in those boards without sending the code word to me (Your admin, Thistlestar) via a PM (Private Message). These code words will never be the same for each boards' rules. I love variety, especially the ones I create.
But, let's get on with the Main Rules of Warriors United, which apply everywhere in this site. I will monitor your posts every-so-often to make sure my general rules will be inforced. As the site grows and progresses, I will most likely promote members to higher postitions to help me regulate the site. These rules are created solely for every members safety and well-being. These rules are not meant to hinder your individuality and right to grow.
So, enough prelude to the rules. Let me get on with it. Shall we?
1. DO NOT (under any circumstances) reveal your address or any traceable personal information. This is just for your safety.
2. NO CURSING. It is rude, vulgar, and unattractive. Refrain or you will be given 3, and ONLY 3 warnings before your membership is banned for a certain period of time, and/or it is terminated. I don't tolerate cussing.
3. If I find any harrassment of one member by another, I will address the issue fairly and decide what must be done. You would say my word is law, but I am not tyranical in any way. Like in everything else I do, I only have the best in mind for others. Trust me on that.
4. You CAN (wow. An "approving" rule! How nice.) have as many characters as you want. The only regulations is that you must keep up with them. If you cannot, put them up for "adoption". This will be regulated by me, or another member I promote as a moderator.
5. You cannot kill off another member's character. If you have a mutual agreement, and consent between you, you may, but I need to be notified.
6. SPAM: no one likes "guests" or "Temporary" or "spam-members" who join only to promote their or anothers' website. You must be active (at least 7 posts every 3 days) for two weeks. Then you will be given the password to the "Advertizing" board under the Misc. category at the very bottom of Warriors Forever. I really don't think this is unfair. BUT: (oh, wonderful, a "but") if you drop off the face of the earht, your advertizment will be deleted. This is only if you're absent for two weeks at a minimum. If you reappear with a legit. reason, you will be allowed to repost with no hard feelings or punishment. Forgive and forget.
7. No God-Moding or Power-playing. God-moding=making your character invincible; Power-playing=controling another members character.
8. You have to make a bio for your character before you can post with them. This will be carried out in the Members category, and the Sign-up board. You must include all necessary code words to be approved.
9. If you know you're going away... vacation, school-trip, et cetra... or if you're getting maintenence on your internet or computer... OR WHATEVER else that would keep you away from WF, post it in the "Taking A Temperary Leave" board in the "Misc." category, so your other members know.
10. The Admin (Thistlestar) acts as StarClan you may not RP as any StarClan cat. [NOTE: this is subject to change; your Admin may make a StarClan category, so you can play as them too, in the furture).
11. Leader's nine lives are recieved at the Moonpool; when your cat -- if a deputy -- becomes leader, PM your Admin (Thistlestar) nine cats -- including the deceased leader -- and their role in the new leaders life so she can make the ceremony. The Admin regulates leader's lives as well as that member. NOTE: you cannot stay leader forever; the Admin reserves the right to create situations in which your leader-cat loses a life. The story has to progress!
12. The main purpose of this site: ENJOY YOURSELF AND HAVE FUN!!!
Okay, now there are minimal expectations of you and they aren't a priority of mine. They're just there to have fun and cna come in handy.
1. Members don't like neglection. If you start a thread, keep up with your posts to help your characters story to progress. Your fellow members will enjoy and thank you for being active.
2. Well, the one before the pointless and non-existant number two is really the only "expectation" just enjoy yourself.
Okay. Here is the end of the rules. OH! And find the code word(s) or your posts will be deleted until you include it in your bio application.
Thanks!
