01. the number one rule at strangers is respect! we don't want any problems here, so all i ask is that you're kind to everyone and don't get too worked up about things that don't matter. this is a roleplay site. for fun. don't fight or troll our forum. i've seen too many forums torn apart by a lack of respect, so all i ask is that you show us some.
02. please use proper grammar both in character or out. meaning little chatspeak and no "l33t" speak. a little chatspeak (brb, gtg, etc.) is alright, but please make sure what you're saying is understood. thanks. c:
03. when you register, your username should not be something crazy like 'coolgurl312' or whatever. any accounts like that will be deleted for obvious reasons. your display name should be your characters first + last name, though middle is not required. it can be all lowercase, uppercase, or properly capitalized--we really don't care as long as it's readable and there aren't tons of symbols.
04. you must create your application (aka bio) and have it accepted before you are allowed to use your character in any in character activities (roleplaying, games, etc). once it is accepted, please remember to post in claims!
05. i believe the proboards tos requires all forums be pg-13. therefore, any "mature" content is forbidden. this includes nudity in images, roleplaying sex or extreme gore, and so on. swearing is alright, just don't go overboard.
P O S T I N G + C H A R A C T E R R U L E S !
01. we do not have a word count, however, we do ask that you post at least two or three paragraphs. if you work better with a word count, 250 words is more than enough. c:
02. when posting, we expect you to post in third person and use correct grammar and spelling. if you need to, write your posts in ms word so it can correct you. also, no god modding or power playing! if you don't know what these are, please look them up.
03. there is no character limit. have as much as you want, just try to even out the genders & species, and don't take on more than you can handle. we also allow liquid time (multiple threads for one character), as long as you don't go overboard on that as well.
04. please make your characters realistic. not even souls are perfect; being in human form does give them some unsightly traits as well. also, face claims must be humans; no anime/drawings/cartoons. we prefer well-known celebrities, but tumblr and dA models are also welcome as long as you can easily find pictures of them and know their first + last name (or at least a full name they're known as).
05. please, be active! try to post once a week with at least one character, and log into all daily if you can. we have a quick account switcher in the upper left, right below our welcome message so you don't have to go through the process of logging out then back it.
I M A G E R U L E S !
01. images may not contain any nudity, gore, etc. also, nothing offensive!
02. please refrain from using bright colors or rapidly flashing/changing images. these hurt my eyes, and some people have bad reactions for them. gifs are allowed, as long as they don't include either of those.
03. avatars may not be bigger than 150x200. we recommend a clean 150x200 or 100x100, but really any size between those is acceptable.
04. images, in general, should not stretch the board. the maximum width is 500px. if any images stretch the board, they will be removed & you will be messaged about it.
05. as for signatures, the rule above applies. however, we also ask that any images used aren't taller than 600px. after that, they start taking a long time to load + they don't look as nice.
C H A T B O X R U L E S !
01. our pg-13 rating is also in effect here. try to avoid obscene/mature topics. swearing is allowed.
02. please try not to talk about topics such as religion and politics, or anything that might start fighting. we're not a debate board, and talking about that sort of stuff might start some unwanted issues.
03. our cbox is not an in-character cbox. please don't clutter it with roleplaying.
04. no advertising--this means even a link in your name (the only time we allow this is if you're a guest LETTING US KNOW about any affiliate issues). also, no spamming or flooding.
05. we do allow icons, if you haven't realized that. they will be resized to about 45x45, so size doesn't really matter. to get one, just enter a url (it can't be too long or it'll be cut off; try using tinypic or imgur) in the email/url field.

00. we know that a lot of these rules are repetitive if you're an experienced roleplayer. however, we thank you for taking the time to read these, whether you knew all the rules or not. have fun roleplaying!
