All members must obey by the following rules or will face dismissal from the site.
General Site Rules
When registering, register with a username that is your character's name, at least have a first and last name unless your character is canon and only has one name. Please take care to write each name correctly with capital letter starting each name!
Swearing | fighting | sexual activity is allowed... but please keep it within reason as the rating of this site is a '15' and below, so do not go more graphical than such a certificate because we may have younger audiences.
Please do not spam on any area of the site, and keep all advertising to the Affiliates section.
The Edit button is there to help, if someone spots a mistake you've made, please correct it.
Treat everyone with respect (including the site staff)... A nice Please and Thank You can still go a long way these days.
You will need to validate your email address, or you will be unable to post etc.
Help us with moderating by informing the Admin or a Moderator (via PM) of rule-breaking. We'll be please to help...
When using the Cbox, post your Characters Name in the name box, just so we know who's who.
Character | Avatar Rules
You must have a picture of what your character looks like in your avatar, in your signature, or both. You may use a celebrity or anime image, there is a Celebrity/Anime Avatar page. If you can't find an Image for your Avatar post a 'Help Avatar' thread in the "Out Of Character" section, with your characters description so others can help.
You character cannot be anything but human unless stated in a canon or where you have previously agreed with admin.
Do not expand the board with the size of your Signature or Image. It makes things look messy. If you need a signature, consider using a couple of small avatars.
RPing Rules
Your character cannot be perfect. They must have flaws; which includes emotions. Your character cannot always be happy but neither can they always be sad... There are many emotions out there, so use them.
Each role-play post must be detailed and literate; every post must exceed 80 words.
Spelling mistakes must be corrected; There's a rather useful little word check in Microsoft Word that comes in handy from time to time.
Please paragraph: Each post must have at least two paragraphs.
No God Gaming: Meaning, do not take control of another person's character (unless they personally say, and the Admin has been informed); Do not control their speech or actions.... Basically don't act as 'God'.
You may make up a quick-character to interact with. e.g. via the phone, texting or a passer by.
No Power Playing: Which means, don't make your character all powerful. There is no way a character can be in a fight and dodge everything, nor is there a way a character is automatically stronger than another. You can't be unstoppable, it's completely unfair to everyone else. But if appropriate you may be able to have a power, but please discuss this via an admin before confirming.
You must write in third person with proper grammar, correct punctuation, past tense and check for spelling/grammar mistakes before you post.
Please indicate in RP posts when you are talking in OOC, e.g. use italics, stars, "[OOC:...]" etc.
If you're RP is moving locations (i.e. Someone leaves the ship to go to a planet, continue the RP on the relevant planet) be sure to post a following link at the end of the RP that is ending and one in the new RP, so that others can move easily between them. (Basically post as a [http://] link. Use the button at the top of your post window to do so)
You may have as many characters as you like, providing that you keep each of them active as much as possible. Try not to make ones that interact too much.
Canon Characters are still available. If you sign up as any of them, please keep true to the originals created on the TV series, this includes avatars.
No killing off of a character unless permission is gained from an Admin.... If you must leave for a while, have them disappear or something (discuss with an Admin before hand)
If you sign up but do not post within a week your account will be deleted!
To prove that you have read and understood these rules, post the word 'Dagenham' when prompted.
