For those who actually do read the rules they are as follows:
|| LITERARY ||
Grammar - A very critical point here at Saiyo is that you use your words correctly and spell them properly. Minor errors are excusable but complete lack of effort will not be tolerated. Only a few times should I need to enforce this, please do not force me. Use correct grammar, remember that we have a spell check so use it.
Posting - As storyline is a key in good roleplay, please try to post at least 2 paragraphs, it may seem like much, but when one only posts a sentence each post there is really little elegance and flow to such things. so please, two paragraphs AT LEAST.
Profanity - Mild use of language is allowed however, in the event that a member uses more offensive word choice, they shall be banned for a week, such behavior is inappropriate and will not be tolerated.
Adult Content- as it is against Proboards ToS sexual acts and other such mentioning shall not be used, if it is so necessary that you should engage in such activities, PM one of the admins to recieve that password to the Mature Content board. We try to keep the younger of our members from engaging in these sort of things, so please keep this under consideration.
|| CHARACTERS ||
Multiple Characters - In this roleplay you may only have up to 4-5 characters, two Cannon characters should you choose to role play one, and up to 3 OC's that would fill your quota, more then this without permission and proper experience will not be accepted.
Characters - Characters created must follow a certain standard, characters modeled after other characters will not be accepted. Be creative in your character's appearance and purpose, it will enrich the plot. This would include cloning already existing characters within the roleplay. Originality alright? Make sure that your characters appearances and story aren't based off of other games or un-related to these rules.
God-Modding - When your in a battle during gameplay please refrain from controlling your opponents moves, you may ATTEMPT an attack, or SWING for an attack but the decision of weather or not it will make impact is your opponents decision. In that note keep in mind that all characters have weaknesses and cannot be undefeated.
(Tied along with this would be killing another person's character unless they say so you are not to kill another character)
You may inflict minor attacks such as slapping someone across the face for being cruel or something like that. Though I doubt actual "battles" will take place here in any situation where a character should be under attack god-modding is not allowed
|| ACTIVITY ||
Member Activity - As much as we enjoy active members, posting spam or trolling the forum does not count as being an active member, this offense will result in a 24 hour ban, and should there be a further interference you will be banned for a more serious amount of time.
|| COMMON COURTESY ||
Forum Etiquette - Try to be kind to other members, flaming and criticizing another member is not something we promote, and wish to see none of. While characters may have quarrels, members please try to get along. You may have your character dislike another character while in game but insubordinate behavior toward another member will not be tolerated.
Homophobia- If you post any thing flaming or mocking homosexual people on this forum you will be banned, simple as that, with little to no chance of returning, it's rude and disrespectful to those of the community who are in fact gay, lesbian or bi. We do not tolerate those shallow enough to post such pointless topics.
Lastly:
Have fun, let this place be a source of community and enjoyment.
