My name is Onyx2047 or simply Oni and I am the Roleplay Forum Moderator. If there is anything you need, any concerns or troubles you might have while in this subform, please feel free to PM about it.
Before I begin I'll ask you to not post in this thread for any announcements that I may have will be posted in this thread. Thank you.
For most of you these rules should be common sense by now but if your new, don't worry. These rules will be very easy to follow. If you do not understand a rule please PM me. You may not like these rules but they never-the-less must be adhered to. The rules below are the general rules for the Roleplay subform.
Your golden rule is: Do not break my rules. If you break them then I will be forced to add more for you to have to follow.
1 a) We have taken the time to bring entertainment to the table. Be courteous and READ what's given. Take your time to read what is required and all should be well.
b) Ever walk into an Rp and made a post and was totally ignored? Well it sucks. Try not to ignore people. Even if your character is tied up in story, post an ooc welcome showing acknowledgement. Courtesy goes a long way and will always be remembered and appreciated.
1. Anything that goes against ToS or your standard gaia rules is a no go here. Failure to comply will land you on the black list.
2. Multiple characters can be great. They can enhance an rp and keep multiple people entertained. It can also be a disaster when you don't come online. It can come across as character hording & detour other players from even bothering to Rp. It also freezes other people's characters up when they are waiting for you to post in order to continue. So think about what you can honestly handle.
3. Do not bring drama from other existing threads into someone else's thread. Do not start bashing another thread IC or in OOC or in Narration.
4. If someone has done something to you that you really feel disrespected by, please don't hash your issues out in the thread or ooc thread. When you do that, other people will be free to read it, jump in on it and things get bitchy, ugly and useless. It's a headache for you, me, and can make people very upset and angry. So, please don't do it. If you cannot work it out in a PM to one another bring in a Guild Moderator. If we cannot resolve it we will find someone who will.
5. Be respectful and treat others how you wish to be treated. Always remember: "Choose being kind over being right and you'll be right every time" -Richard Carlson
6. In addition to rule 5 this one is more specifically towards the thread owners. If you have an idea that you want to have your character do, something that will affect the setting or mass amounts of other people within that setting (be they other rp'ers or Npc's), common courtesy says that you seek the permission to do so.
Anyone guilty of causing intentional trouble will be considered trolling and will be removed without further warning. I personally cannot stand that sort of child-ish disrespect and it simply wont be tolerate.
