..::Rules!::..
I,oOoRainbow-SherbertoOo, am a Vice Captain of this guild and current Mod of this subforum. Feel free to comment, PM, OOC speak me or whatever if you have any questions regarding the following rules or otherwise. Or just wanna get to know me and talk :]
Sign this thread with your username and a statement saying that you will follow the rules
[If you do not, your next RP will get locked until you do so. Thank you!]
R-E-S-P-E-C-T! Find out what it means to me~
[Respect your mods and the maker of whatever thread you go into! Also respect people that try to help- we're all nice people here and want to make sure you don't get in trouble! :3 So just listen, mkay?]
Follow the Gaia TOS
[Pretty important there. Don't do anything that's going to get the guild in trouble, you'll be making quite a few people upset if this gets closed down because you decided not to follow the Gaia rules.]
NO FLAMING
[We're a friendly group here! If you feel like you're getting mistreated, talk to a mod. We are here for a reason, not just to look pretty (though we do good with that too. XD). The mods will help you if you need it, don't be afraid to ask. We like helping poor innocents. 3nodding ]
Absolutely NO cybering!
[That's in the Gaia TOS I believe, so don't do it here! Even if the RP says 'go ahead' don't you dare! Inform the mods and we will take care of them.]
No spamming!
[That includes bump threads, advertisements, contests, and threads to ask a mod something. If you do this, the thread will just be ignored and deleted, so... don't do it.]
If you have any questions, PM the mods
[The mods of your forum are currently CrimsonFangs and Satan Clawz. PM us with questions, to delete a dead RP, or any other need that you have and think we can solve. :3]
The rules in this thread...
[Are subject to change and/or having some added! So make sure you keep a look out for a 'NEW RULE' in the topic and take the new poll! I will change the poll when I put in a new rule, just to see if people check, and if you don't, you'll be the one in the dark.]

Keep Reading!!
Follow these rules/guidelines and your thread won't get locked. Failure to follow them more than once will result in your thread getting deleted without a second thought. :3
General Guidelines for Making Your Thread!
When making a roleplay, make sure you have a SUBSTANTIAL PLOT/STORY
--That means something that is MORE than two sentences, children. When making a roleplay, you have to think about the other players. We cannot do anything with a plot that is two sentences long and has no real story. The cut off is four lines, four lines. You must have at least four lines in your storyline or plot for your RP not to get locked. Okay? Okay.This Forum is strictly for school roleplays so your Plot/Story has to have something to do with school okay?If you fail to do that I will have to redirect you to the right sub-forum.
Rules!
--Rules, rules, rules, RULES! I cannot stress enough that you MUST. HAVE. RULES. in your RP. Okay? And one of the rules absolutely has to be 'no cybering'. If you do not have rules, you will get locked. No exceptions.
Your title does NOT count as Storyline or Plot!
--Just because you put in your title 'High School Romance' doesn't mean you can get away with no plot or storyline. First, that's a pretty unoriginal title. Second, you still need a storyline and a plot in your thread. That's just a title. Just because anyone reading it can see that it's going to be a romance in high school doesn't mean that you got away with no storyline. C'mon, think of something interesting people! You can do this! Use your imaginations and come up with new ideas! I know you can do it!
Be Creative!
--In your titles and in your stories. The 'High School Romance' has been done a thousand times and is wearing very, very, very thin; the 'Forest RP!' is just as boring. Spice things up! If you're doing 'High School' don't just say 'You're in HS and you fall in love with your best friend! OMG!!'..... because that's predictable. Change it up a little, add some flare! And it doesn't have to be demons and angels and vampires, either. Use your imaginations! You're much more creative than what I've been seeing.
Examples of bad ideas
-'you are walking through the woods and are suddenly attacked by a vampire!! THE END IS UP TO YOU!!'
-'You are lost in teh forest with YOUR LOVE!!'
-'Four High School friends all fall in love w/ each other.... but they're all in love with A DIFFERENT PERSON!!'
-'You're in HS. There are parties and classes and dates to go on, have fun.'
-'VAMPIRES AND WEREWOLVES FIGHTING!! WHAT SIDE ARE YOU ON?!!?'
All of those are... way... over done.... if you're going to do something like that, at least think of a creative way to make them different. Okay? Okay.
Rules for RP's in general
NO PLAGIARIZING
--That means no stealing other peoples ideas. We've been here for a loooong time and have cleaned out this forum, we know every single RP that was made in here so if you try to plagiarize, you can be guaranteed that you'll be caught, and you're RP will be deleted. Not locked, deleted.
Don't make the same thread over and over again
--That includes ideas. Don't just make a million of the same thing because you either (1) want more people, (2) it died, or even (3) it's a one on one that more people want to be a part of. Making two, that's okay, but don't make four or five of the same thing. If your topic dies, you can remake it once, but any more than that is kind of useless. It failed twice, there is no need to make it again.
If your thread DIES
--Please ask the mods to delete it. PM us and include the link to your RP so we can find it easier, thank you.
If you want to be in a thread
--Follow the rules of that thread! More than likely there are specific rules that you have to follow to get in, and if you don't follow them, you won't get accepted. Be sure to follow the rules, okay? Okay.
If your topic is LOCKED
--Usually that means you did something wrong. Come back here and check the rules, once you have figured out what you did wrong, PM a mod and let them know WHAT you did wrong and that you are going to fix it. DO NOT remake the RP. DO NOT ask in the Main Forum what you did wrong. If you search through the rules and still can't figure it out, PM a mod of this forum and ask. We don't bite.
One Strike and You're Out
--That's it folks. If you do not follow the rules your RP WILL get locked. NO warnings. If you continue to just not follow the rules, your RP will be DELETED with no questions asked. If you continue to not follow the rules, you will get PMed with a warning, and if you still continue not to follow the rules, _The_Soulless_Wonder_ will be informed that you are not following them and you will be subject to getting banned. We don't want that, now, do we? FOLLOW ALL THE RULES!
If you have read all the rules, please include a heart in the beginning of your post and a heart at the end. Thank you. :3

Here shall be the names of everyone allowed to make new threads... as well as those that are not.
If your name is in the blue and not the green that means you're missing something. Please find it and fix it.
I've decided that going through names like that is too tedious. From now on, what I'll be doing is editing your posts to say whether or not you're okay. Please keep an eye on your post in this thread and wait until you have the OKAY from me to post a new topic.
This does not mean that you can't RP, it just means that you can't post a topic until you've been ok'd.
To see an example of how your post will look after it's been edited, please look at my example below:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
heart
I, oOoRainbow-SherbertoOo, swear to uphold and follow all the rules of this forum. -salute-
heart oOoRainbow-SherbertoOo EDIT
This post has been checked by oOoRainbow-SherbertoOo
You are OKAY to start making roleplays. If not okay, the edit will look like this: oOoRainbow-SherbertoOo EDIT
This post has been checked by oOoRainbow-SherbertoOo
Please go read the rules again, you're missing something. If you have any questions, feel free to PM either me i'll do my best to answer your questions.
