| General Rules
- Rating
Though not specifically stated, this site is to be around a PG-13 site... Please try to stay around that age range. Please. That includes pictures as well...
- Respect
Be respectful to everyone on the forum. You are expected to treat one another like equals and not trash. We’re all friends here.
- Consistency
Don’t join and then never come back. Don’t join and only post two or three times. You are expected to check in at least once a week to keep up with your posts, keep up with what’s going on, and RP. We want this place to be active, not deserted, so if you can’t do that, then why bother joining in the first place?
You do not have to know anything about Naruto (some of us here don’t even know much about it). We are willing to teach... It just makes it easier on all of us if you do know something about Naruto. So long as you like to RP and have some knowledge of grammar (and English), then welcome to the site.
Godmodding
- Controlling Others
There is to be no controlling of another person’s RPC (Role Playing Character). That includes their movements and thoughts.
- Auto Hitting
You can not always hit your opponent. The actual blow or attack landing on a character is up to the other PPer (Role Player).
- Dodging
You can not always dodge your opponent’s attacks. If the situation makes it that you should get hit, you’re hit. If not, then you’re not. If it’s 50/50, then you get hit, but not completely.
- MetaGaming
You can not know everything. You may know everything, but your character doesn’t. You can’t know your opponent’s attacks, weapons, history, or even their name. Granted some things are knowable, but there must be a reasonable explanation. If the they are well known, granted you may know their name and some of their attack methods, but not all of them and you wouldn’t know their history either. And “I read it off of their profile page.” or “I just know.” does not work.
Posting
- Post Size
You are expected to provide at least a paragraph (five lines with five words each) for each post. Try to refrain from posting one liners, or one worders (I don’t know how you can do that, but apparently some people can). Do not link in pictures, or give links to pictures, to describe anything in your RP. Also refrain from using videos to describe anything. Links to music are allowed though.
- Grammar
Of course not all of us are English teachers, but we do have some minimum knowledge of grammar, whether we’re third (3) graders or twelfth (12) graders. In other words, we’re expecting you to at least spell correctly (use spellcheck) and punctuate. You know, capitalizing and such? Periods, commas, question marks, exclamation points, etc.
- Color
Refrain from “blinding” your posts. Colors that we can’t see make reading your post(s) difficult. And that means we probably won’t even bother reading it and will simply tell you to change the color. Frustrating for both you and us.
- Bolding
Don’t bold your whole post. This is completely pointless and just as frustrating as blinding your post.
- Capitalizing
Don't capitalize your whole post. Capitalizing can be just as annoying as Bolding or Blinding.
- Sizing
As the name suggests, don’t make your font extremely big or extremely small. If you ever feel like you need to size things in a post, at most, go up or down one size.
- Approval
DO NOT ASK FOR APPROVAL. Simple really, if you ask, we don’t approve. Granted, if it’s been awhile since you posted it, you can ask us. Awhile does not mean “two minutes”. Awhile is a week or more. If it’s only been a day or two, you can bump it (see bumping).
Do not approve if you are not a Moderator/Administrator. That pretty much explains it... You can’t approve, un-approve, or disapprove anything in the Creation Thread. You have been warned, do it and you will be punished. You can give advice and offer help though. [Note: If you’ve been “false-approved” and actually post in RPing threads, you will still be punished for that. The Moderators/Administrators in charge of Creation Approval are listed in that thread. You’re expected to have known that. So “I didn’t know they weren’t a Moderator/Administrator” isn’t an excuse.
Spam
- Spamming
Spamming refers to RPs where you and other people simply do nothing. (As in you just have a thread where you’re all eating and doing well... nothing. Intro RPs where you just meet people are alright, but that should generally be among the first couple of posts you make. Not the whole thread.) Punishment includes warning... You’ve been warned. Now do it and you will be punished accordingly.
- Flaming
Like we said, be respectful. In RPs, it is generally alright if you’re going at each other’s throats (reasonably), but when you’re not IC (In Character), you’re expected to be respectful to one another. If something offends you, take it up with an Moderator/Administrator (as in talk to them about it, not argue with them), we’ll try to work it out.
Say you and someone else do... want to kill each other, take it up with PMs (Private Messages) here or PCs (Private Chats) on the Chatbox. Do not post up useless threads in the Chat or flood the Chatbox with it. There are also plenty of other outlets: OOC Battle in either RP Sample thread or Arena thread.
- Bumping
At most, only bump a topic twice (2) a day. Bumping is only needed when a post/topic has been left unattended for two days. This applies more to Creation, as there is no need to bump a topic that is in the Chat Thread (as topics are generally answered according to interest). Another reason to bump is if you’re post/topic has been pushed to another page. Then be patient. Continue to bump as needed; however, if it’s been three weeks and no one has looked at it, just PM a Moderator/Administrator about it on the site, or PC it to them on the Chatbox.
Site "Power"
- Administrator
DO NOT ASK. You are appointed by the Head Administrator. You may also be voted into the position, asking will simply lower your chances of becoming one. Besides, being an Administrator doesn’t mean you get power (in the RPs). You are simply expected to do more for the site. Which generally means helping to keep the site up and running smoothly.
- Moderator
DO NOT ASK. You are appointed by the Head Administrator. You may also be voted into the position, asking will simply lower your chances of becoming one. Besides, being an Moderator doesn’t mean you get power (in the RPs). You are simply expected to do more for the site. Which generally means helping to keep the site up and running smoothly. Also note that not all Moderators may Approve. Your Moderating Duties may simply be to watch over the site and see to it that RPs do not go against the rules, or you may just be an Moderator over a village as you are the leader of that village.
Creation
- Obey all rules as posted by a Moderator/Administrator.
- Use the template given.
- Be creative, don't copy off of others!
- If you like someone’s clan/kekkei genkai, don’t copy it or make something similar to it. Just ask the creator if you can join that clan/kekkei genkai.
- Only a bloodline can use separated elements. As in the case of Mokuton, you can use water and earth separately, but by using separate elements you cannot have billions of Water jutsu, and billions of Earth jutsu. They are "half affinities" therefore, they will be weaker.
- Technology. There is a minimum amount of technology here. Technology is to be approved by an admin.
- You may not be a higher rank unless appointed to by an admin or the RP sample is satisfactory for that rank.
Game Play
- All ninja have some basic skills with Taijutsu, Weaponary, Genjutsu, and Ninjutsu. Your character should know how to throw a punch and kick at the very least. Your character should also know how to wield kunai, shuriken, and the like. You character should also be able to tell when they are in a minor Genjutsu, or at least have a general idea of what being in a Genjutsu is like. Your character should also know the basics of Ninjutsu, being that it normally requires chakra and hand signs.
Rank/Group
- Only join the group of your character.
Chatbox
- No porn. You all know what this means... Yes, the X-rated stuff.
- No racism.
- Don't put down other RPers.
Other
- Obey any other rules listed on the site (as posted by a Moderator/Administrator). These include rules in the Creation Templates, and any additional rules posted in the Updates Thread or Rules Thread.
More may be added at any time. So be sure to check daily~! | |
