general
there's a little thing called respect. show it and it'll get you far around here. be nice and respectful, and everyone will be the same right back to you. we don't like people who drag us down, and we certainly don't like people who are, for lack of a better word, complete fuckasses. if you join, don't be afraid to come by the cbox and talk to us - it feels more personal if we get to talk to you and get to know you (in the most non creepy way possible). the occasional swear word is limited, too, but after a while (when your sentences start looking like "fuck i just saw the cutest fucking guy and oh my fucking gosh i would so fucking lick his fucking face. fuck.") it gets kind of old, so please try to not swear every six seconds. we all do it, but there's a point in time where it should all stop.
graphics
avatars cannot exceed 180x300. signatures can be any width, although 500px usually looks best. don't make them too tall looking; we don't want to have to scroll for forever and ever and ever in order to see the next post in a thread. no boobies, penises or vaginas (aka any type of obscene nudity) in graphics.
registration, characters & activity
register with whatever name pleases you. make sure your username is FIRST LAST in all capital letters, please. you can have up to fifteen free characters. any number after that, you must consult a staff member and they will evaluate your activity on all your accounts before allowing you more accounts. note: the fifteen limit rule does not apply to members coming from the old lip. please make sure you keep your characters active and you log into all your accounts every day. it only takes a few minutes and shows how active we really are. as for playbys, we accept models, musicians, and actors/actresses. no site models, no famous youtubers - none of that. now, if the youtuber has a few albums or is a somewhat famous musician, then you can use them. but that's the only exception.
roleplaying
you know the drill where this is concerned. no godmodding, god-playing, or whatever you want to call it. the word count minimum is 200 words. keep everything pg-13; anything else and it needs to be taken outside the forum. we don't have a "post once per week" rule, but we would really appreciate it if you could post as often as possible.
the chatboxes
ooc chatbox: don't spam, don't hate, don't disrespect. the cbox will ban you after a certain amount of posts made in a row, so please keep that in mind. failure to follow any of these rules can result in a temporary to permanent ban from using the ooc cbox.
icc chatbox: you must have a shipper in order to use this, and whatever character you're using must be in that shipper. we all love iccing, but please don't just icc - thread some stuff out too, okay? instant messaging threads are also a good alternative for iccing.
icr chatbox: you must have one thread with said character before using the in character roleplay. no if's, and's or but's about it. icr also isn't for major plot unraveling - again, those are for threads. if more people are using the icr than threading then we will have a serious problem.
