Rules and Regulations
General
-No pretending that you have been hacked.
+No excessive foul language. Yes, it is aloud on the site, but not in every other word.
-No "potty" language
+Do not under any circumstances, purposefully offend another person on the site. If they
ask, and say that it offends them, stop. It doesn't matter if it is a silly willy nilly thing,
stop immediately. If you consider it to be to outrageous, you can always PM an admin.
+You should follow the ProBoards Terms and Conditions
[/ul]
Posting
cat, thinks it, then your cat doesn't automatically know that they are thinking. You would
have to be a mind reader to do that!
+No Power playing. For example, when you are in battle. You can't never get hit, your
cat isn't going to be perfect. So, in such circumstances, please, don't cheat and make your
cat invincible.
+You must have more than one or two lines of role playing. One, one liner, turns into a
returned one liner, because there isn't any detail! And when you have to many, it
degrades the entire site, if you can't get past the stage of "one liner," then ask someone.
Note: Did you know that there is a whole board for learning how to RP!?
+Do not use chat speak, such as "btw," or "wtf," or "omg," It makes you look rather....
Un-advanced, for lack of a better word.
+I know you have read the Warriors series by Erin Hunter, so you should know the kind of language that the cats use. Such as "fox dung" or "mouse brain." Instead of using cuss words in your posts, coming out of a cat's mouth, you should use these words instead. In the books, you never heard a cat say "Oh shit" after losing prey they might say "fox dung" instead, or when a cat would do something stupid, they would never say "You dumbass" they would say "You mouse brain." So, there for, no cussing in posts. [this is not the answer to the bio question although you may include it for brownie points ^_^]
+If you have something to say in-post, like a side note, as to where you are taking this
role playing thread, make a gesture of sorts, to make sure that people know that you
aren't saying that in the actual role play. It can get a little confusing. And make sure you
separate it from the rest of the text.
+How many places can you physically be in at one time? One? Thats what I thought.
So... there for, lets keep it realistic and easy to manage. Your character cat can only be in
one thread at a time.
+Not every person in the world is god-gifted with special talents. So, every cat that you make cannot be StarClan-gifted with special talents. If every cat as "usually bright blue eyes," then they are no longer unusual, because every cat has them. There are a wide variety ways that a cat can be put together, but for the sake of abnormalities, not every cat can have those unusual appearances.
+When making a cat, if you wish for him/her to have a special talent, like the gift to see StarClan, or have amazing dreams, PM the admin and ask. Usually there will be a plot of sorts that will involve a cat that has a gift of sorts. It may end up being first come first serve.
+It is required that all members, staff and non-staff, must post at the least, every three weeks. For staff, the rule is cut at two weeks. This is for promoting site activity, and it helps clear out the unactive members.

Your Account
+Your signature cannot effect the size of the website. Generally, try to keep it less than
600 width and 700 height per picture. But you can have as many pictures as you want[/ul]
Congratulations! You made it to the end of the tentative rules! When you go to make your bio, please make sure you answer the questions correctly, and give the correct code words. Translate 'All Done' into german as the code words. Translate is a link to an online free translator.
