RPG Rules

1. Registering in the RPG
When you have registered in the forums, you must go to the forum 'Wise One' and fill in the form provided. If you do not post within 30 days, conisder your account deleted.

2. Information about houses
Houses are like mini classes you come in. You cannot change your house once you are registered. The uses for the houses is when a holiday comes, the houses compete in a play day.

3. Posting in your house
You have classes, you make a topic in the first forum you see. For example, you're in the Flying House the the first forum is Physical Education. You post a topic there and others will join. Then when the teacher says go to the next class. Someone in the same house posts the topic on the second forum.

4. You are not a moderator
Even though you have your 'member group' in the forum led by position you are not a moderator. If your house name has 'Admin' or 'Moderator' that means you are a moderator.

5. Topics will be edited/deleted
Please do not post in the wrong house. Remeber, you cannot change your house once the 'Wise One' picks it out. Or, your topic might be deleted because you posted in the wrong forum in your house. To make this clear, your topics have to be from top to bottom. Your topic title will change if you have the wrong topic title. See 'Inserting topic titles' for more info.

6. Inserting topic titles
If it's your first visit in the class you put class #1, then if it's the second time put class #2. The cafeteria and library are different. Cafeteria is Lunch and library is Library Visit. You may look for examples in other houses.

7. Inserting homework titles
It does not matter what topic title you put, as long as you do your homework.

8. Receiving house points
Finish a class and you receive house points depending what you have done in your class.
DO NOT CHANGE THE HOUSE POINTS COUNT IN YOUR SIGNATURE OR YOU'LL GET A WARNING!
You can also get house points in the 'Retrieve House Points' forum. Win 30 house points maximum!

9. Winning Student Of The Month (SOTM)
SOTM isn't really easy. The user must have these qualities:
1) Must post often in their house.
2) Less likely to make mistakes. (If you're acting I'll understand.)
3) Must be active.
4) Completed a lot of classes.
If nobody has these qualities, the previous winner will win again. If somebody has atleast one quality, they have a chance.

10. Having Union Recess
When anybody from any house is currently having recess and yourself is currently having recess, Serene will ask a person to pick any yard. Go to the redirect forum and post in the open recess topic. If anyone is left out I will ask them also.

11. Be with the class!
When someone else makes a topic you join them. If you are late and didn't post before, say that you're late of something like that. Did you see anyone in your school that had to learn something else and the rest of the class is learning something together? No, so that's why you have to post in that topic, pretend the CA is your school.

12. Inserting topic title number
This one people break all the time. If you're new and started for the first time, don't start from the beginning, make with the program. For example, a person started a topic in mathematics and put #1, the person finished Social Studies #2. Then you put Mathematics #2. This one is hard to explain though, I hope you understand.

13. The problems of being expelled/banned
When banned, you cannot access the forum. When being expelled, you cannot access anything that has to do with the academy RP, such as posting in your house, having union recess, doing homework, accessing the retrieve more house points forum, competing in holiday activities and buying equipment. If you post in one of these things your post will be deleted.

13. Time when being expelled/banned
If you have five warnings for being banned, you will be banned for one week, the second time you have five warnings you will be banned for two weeks then so on and so forth. For being expelled, the number of days you will be expelled is depending on how fast the house completes one school day. One school day is the ending of the last class (which can be Goof Off, Physical Education Part 2, or Physical Education). The minimum is one day and the maximum is three days.

14. Getting Avatars
You must get the appropiate avatar within one week after your registration or we'll keep informing you to get an avatar. You can get an avatar here: Avatar Requests (Note that bumping is aloud in this topic)

PM Kiwi or Serene if you have any difficulty understanding these questions.

General Forum Rules

1. Spamming
Every forum has this rule, spam are posts and/or topics that are off the topic, please do not do this. It's annoying.

2. Double Posting
Do not double post. This means posting two times.

3. Spell Good
Please use good language that people understand and read. OMG, teh and some other words are exceptable.

4. Overusing Emoticons
The limit of using emoticons is 5. If you're over 5, you'll receive a board message saying the max. is 5 and you have to change it.

5. Advertising
You cannot advertise sites in this forum, you may go and type the link in your signature or you can search available chatters in the CA comic zone chat. Advertising is aloud there.

6. Flaming
Do not go into serious fights with someone, or you'll receive a warning. Flaming with an admin, PMing or posting will get you one word: BAN!

7. Bumping
Do not post topics that are over a month old. This is not good. You're also not aloud to post in classes you've already done, but they're already closed anyway.

8. Account In Use
Accounts that have no posts in 30 days or accounts that are not registered in the RPG within 30 days are deleted.

9. Creating Another Account
Do not create another account, tell us is the other account is a family member or friend. Administrators can look at your IP adress. If your account is deleted or banned and you made another account we will deleted. There are a lot of forums to visit so don't mind coming back.

10. Do not steal others' artwork
This is bad... Do not use unless you have permission with the maker. They have dedicated their work making those things, and you go steal it and claim as your own. That's not the point.

11. Asking being mod/admin
You want to be an admin or mod by asking? No, if you keep asking, this means you'll go crazy being a mod/admin that you have got the job. We need to observe your behavior in the forums before you become a mod/admin. We will keep this as a surprise though.

12. Affiliation
To be an affiliate, I need to join your forums and need to know how your members react. You must have atleast 10 unregistered CA members before we can affiliate. (And they have to be active too.)

13. No Swearing
ABOSOLUTLY NOT ACCEPTABLE! Just a note that the word filters are currently in the 'off' position. Astericks (*) will not replace the letters in the swearing that people type. So be aware. Since this is really bad you'll receive two house points instead of one. And when you swear to me, you'll receive double the amount of the regular banning time.
