.sexeh. Group: .admin. Posts: 43 Member No.: 1 Joined: 1-September 07	THE RULES __&& REGISTRATION 1. PLEASE SIGN UP WITH FIRST AND LAST NAME ONLY 2. no funny business with this. We�re old enough to know better by now. A good example would be �Harry Potter� or �Luna Lovegood�. There�s nothing like �hermionegirl21� or �futuremrspotter�. Seriously, we�re not two. 3. if you mistype something in the registration form, please contact me via my accounts and I�ll gladly fix it for you. Do not hesitate to ask. 4. please make sure that you have checked the canon list to make certain of who you would like. 5. the only place you�re allowed to post if you�re not accepted is the out of character portion of the site and to reserve a character or a celebrity for your face claim. 6. Now or Never is only accepting canon characters for the time being! __&& CHARACTERS 1. we are only accepting canon characters for the time being. 2. you are allowed to have up to four characters on separate accounts. It would be nice if they were from different houses, but we�ll just see where the cards end up falling. 3. the celebrities that will be playing your people should have at least a little resemblance. I don�t want a character with an African American mother to be pasty white. Just use common sense please. 4. for the time being, I don�t mind if we have an imbalance of males and females or of houses. Sure, it�s not fun to have two guys and thirteen girls, but for now, I�m not enforcing a rule. 5. there will be no drastic amount of vampires and werewolves running about the place. I believe I only assigned one canon werewolf. If you really want to, and this has to be a big really, please PM me and we�ll discuss it. I don�t frown upon the idea; it�s just that this board isn�t one of Underworld or Van Helsing. 6. no Mary-Sue characters. This basically means that we all have flaws and weaknesses that need to be put into account here. Also, lets have a variety of people here. We don�t need an abundant amount of pimps and sluts about. I know, they�re oh so fun to play, but let�s get real here. __&& ROLE-PLAYING 1. all posts must be at least *three hundred* words! 2. no one-liners! Seriously, if I find any of this, I will be after you like Elmer Fudd for Bugs Bunny. Instead of a shotgun, it�ll be a metal spork and a nice long lecture. Nobody wants that! 3. THIRD PERSON! If none of you know what third person is, then I suggest you learn quickly. 4. grammar is something we learn at an early age, so it needs to be pulled out here as well. There�s spell check if you really need it. If you�re an exceptional speller, a few misspelled words aren�t too much of a bother because I know many times where my brain thinks one thing but my fingers type another. Just watch out for it. MICROSOFT WORD SPELL CHECK is your friend! 5. the site will probably have some violence dealing with magic, drinking, drugs, sex, swearing, and other things involving teenagers. If you�re not comfortable this, you�ve been warned and we�ll try to accommodate for you. If something kind of mature is going on, please put some sort of warning in your title, perhaps a [R] or a [X] or something. 6. no god-modding � enough said. 7. I realize teenage pregnancy is a part of life, but I must authorize it first before it can ever go through. __&& ADMINS 1. for the time being, it is only me, Erin, that is an admin around here. You can contact me through the root admin account or my other accounts, but I also have messengers as well, so it�s probable you�ll find me there. 2. respect! I demand it! I don�t care if you don�t like what I�ve done with the site, how I handle something, or how I role-play. You do not get to criticize me. This is by far one of the things I will not tolerate! 3. please wait at least 48 hours before contacting me about a profile. I�m only one person and I only have so much time. I will get to it. Trust me. 4. to prove you read the rules, please put �deathly hallows� in italics and in green. __&& MEMBERS 1. do not flame, disrespect, or yell at other members for something serious. Making members feel bad is not what role-playing is about and it will not be allowed. 2. do not PM anybody inviting them to join a site! There are advertising boards for a reason! I get sick and tired of people passing along messages about a new site. This is a major no no. 3. with new members, please help them out. I can�t afford getting a hundred messages a day asking me some of the simplest things. Members! If you do not know it, do not tell them anything. Have them go to the support area! __&& ADVERTISING 1. feel free to post an advertisement of somebody else�s board, but make sure that they have a guest friendly advertising area so we can post back. 2. when affiliating, I will resize all mini-banners that are larger than 88x31 or are oddly shaped. I want my board to look uniform and I don�t want my affiliates table bunching up. __&& ACTIVITY 1. there will be sporadic activity checks during the month. It isn�t that I want to try and just surprise you with it. I always try to do it at a certain time during the month, but I never seem to keep up with it. If I feel the board is getting inactive and cluttered, I will do it. 2. please note that if your character(s) are deleted, they are up for grabs by anybody, but you may also reclaim them. Don�t reclaim them though if you�re just going to be inactive again. I don�t want to have to remind everybody every other week. 3. also note that when your character is up for grabs, so is your celebrity that you use for your character. If you reclaim your profile, you just might not get your celebrity back. You have been warned. __&& PICTURES 1. there is no real amount of space that you can use. If you want to use a 200x500 picture or several 100x100 icons or 300x200, that is fine, but I don�t want it all sloppy and resizes the board. This also means no pictures taken right off from Yahoo! or Google images. You will get a message from me if this happens. 2. be smart people! I don�t want nude pictures and suggestive statements! Honestly, if we wanted that, there would be a variety of porn sites we could go too. 3. the maximum size for an avatar is 110x110. __&& OTHER 1. the site is a basic three-strike-your-out system. You first get a warning, it happens again, you get banned for two days [48 hours], and the third you get banned for good, old boy so lets not screw it up. 2. Now or Never does not discriminate against race, religion, ethnicity, gender, or orientation. 3. this is my site. I have the right to do anything I please with it. Suggestions are welcomed, but you don�t get to boss me around. 4. go now and be free! Thank you for reading!
