Rules:
1. No swearing to anyone, especially the moderators.
2. Show some common courtesy towards everybody.
3. No plagiarism UNLESS due credit is given for the other person's work AND the original owner allows their work to be copied.
4. Keep any back and forth banter to a minimum as it can quickly turn into a conversation within a thread. Such situations should be taken to PM so that others do not have to read through your 'conversation' to get back to on topic material.
5. If you are going to start an RPG, use our search feature to find out if there have been any other RPG's that are along the same line in terms of story line and description. If you do find an RPG that is closely related to what you want to create you must either change your RPG or not create it at all.
6. When you are talking on the Comment Wall, you may use text speak; but when you are Role-playing, you must use proper grammar and punctuation. I will not deal with people who cannot write at all.
7. Do not upload, post or otherwise transmit any material that is prohibited by law, harmful, threatening, abusive, pornographic, harassing, torturous, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable. This is just common sense.
8. Regarding an RPG description: You must write a total of 10 sentences that describes the RPG to the fullest extent possible. In those 10 sentences, you must adequately describe the place, time period, basic background info, and any other important information that is necessary to the RPG. You might have 10 sentences, but if I cannot find those 4 listed things, I will close your RPG until the problem is resolved.
9. This rule deals with God modders. the procedure the group Moderators use to deal with is that minor use of god-modding is given a warning. More use of god-modding results in a group moderator killing off said character, and a one day ban. Even more use (as in the person still continues to post even though there character is dead) results in the person getting banned for a week, and the topic closed for 2 weeks- to a month. This group has a zero tolerance for god-modding without reason. There are very few exceptions for this rule.
10. I know people like to make up their own Character template, but I just want to give the people a sheet if they aren't sure what to put. This is totally optional if you are wondering.

11. Topics that have not been posted in 2 months will be closed, to re-open the topic the creator of said topic will send a email to the group saying that they want the topic to be opened. If a closed topic has not been requested to be opened 1 month after that it will be deleted, exceptions to this rule are allowed on very few occasions.
12. If a roleplay needs people in the rp put "open". If it doesn't need people put "closed" or "full". This is to prevent someone thinking that an rp is open when it's actually closed, and to help prevent confusion.
13. (Disclaimer rule nothing new: ) All rules of Max-Dan-Wiz still apply here, and the staff of this group and this site have the right to edit, change, delete, and add any content to the rules and group as long as it still obeys the rules. They have the right to remove/lock group content and group users, but a warning will be given at least 12 hours before said actions happen.
I will add more as I see fit. These rules are to just make sure nobody gets to crazy, and that the group doesn't get deleted by the moderators of this site.
