Rules for Advanced Roleplay contain the following general rules for all roleplay:
1) Treat each other with respect. This a rule for the site, but remember that just because you don't like another person's roleplay/character/character action is no reason to comment on it out of character.
2) When posting reference photos for your character, please make sure you are not stealing them from any site. To make sure of this, make sure they have a Creative Commons License. You can find certain photos with this on sites like Flickr.com
3) Appropriate Content. Do not post any sort of inappropriate content, this includes but is not limited to extreme gore, violence, hatespeech, drug & alcohol use, cutting, suicide, abusive situations and sexual activities of any kind.
4) No powerplaying. Powerplaying is using a person's character without permission or forcing someone to do something with their character that they do not want.
5) Respect all general forum rules and the rules of the RP thread you joined.
6) Any and all rule breaking or inappropriate posts should be reported by clicking on the "Report Thread" or "Report Reply" button, do not confront or accuse the person yourself.
Then in addition, special Advanced Roleplay Rules:
1) Correct Spelling and Grammar must be used. (Within reason, we understand not everyone speaks English as a first language.)
2) Appropriate replies for Advanced Roleplay. This does mean no chat speak, no "action symbols", and any other thing that constitutes shortcuts to thinking and writing out a full reply.
3) Word/Character minimum. Because this is Advanced Roleplay, it's expected to spend time and thought on your response, so we are having a 150 word or 600 character minimum per post. Threads are allowed to have higher ones.
4) Threads must have well thought out plots. That is, it must contain information about what is going on, not just one-sentence situation.
5) Threads are allowed to have additional rules, within reason, and have the right to request players not to participate due to their lack of not following those rules. However thread creators and runners are bound by the rules of this forum and the site.
