Manhattan Rules

MANHATTAN RULES
Introduction
● This forum is rated M/R. If you have a sex thread, mark it! If you’re uncertain what classifies as an M/R rating please check the MPAA Rating.
● These rules may change as the site changes. All rules are implemented in the best interest of the members!
● If you ever have any questions, just ask!
Registration and Application
● Register with your character’s first and last name, properly capitalized. Correct: Mary Jane; incorrect: MARY JANE or mary jane.
● There is no character limit. You may have as many as you like as long as you meet the activity requirement (below).
● Be diverse. If you are planning on making an additional character, consider branching out. Try roleplaying a character that is a different gender, age, ethnicity, or has a different heritage, sexual orientation than you would normally choose.
In Character
● Keep IC and OOC relations separate. Just because a character is rude and obnoxious, it does not mean the player is as well!
● No drama. We are here to roleplay and enjoy ourselves. Remember: it’s a game and everyone is here out of their love for writing!
Posting
● No godmoding, powerplaying, or dishonest conduct. Give your partner the chance to respond to your posts appropriately.
● We do not have a word count, however please reciprocate with your partner. Match their quality, not quantity! They will appreciate it.
● Do not harass members to reply to your thread. It’ll make them even less inclined to reply! This includes repeatedly asking someone to post with you in the CBox.
Out of Character
● Treat everyone with respect. Even if you dislike someone, you can still be polite.
● Talk to the Staff. If you have a problem with a rule, another member, a thread, or how an event is progressing, please contact an Administrator. The Staff Team is here to help!
Graphics
● Graphics are optional; if you don’t want a signature or avatar, you do not need one.
● All sources are acceptable. Stock models are great sources for less flashy looking playbys! Please remember to credit the photographer if you use stock!
● Avatars are a max of 200x200 in size, but smaller sizes are fine, too!
● Signatures should be no more than 500x200. I feel that this is a large enough size to work with.
● No offensive or hateful material. Avatars, signatures and tables/ post templates should not contain anything that is vulgar or disrespectful of other people’s beliefs.
● Give credit where it is due. If a photo is released under a Creative Commons license requiring you to credit the author, please do so! Not only is it respectful, it’s also the law.
● Use your common sense. It gets you everywhere in this world. If you are questioning whether you should do something IC or OOC ask or don't do it.
Activity Requirements
● PLEASE Post in the Absences Forum/ Thread if you are going away! Also, please let us know if you are experiencing anything that will hinder your ability to post, such as internet problems. We don’t want to delete you by accident!
