Hidden Warrior Code 2.0

<<<<<<User>>>>>>

1. No Spamming. We'll let you slide by a couple of times, but if you spam excessively, you'll get a warning. [For the benefit of those that don't know, spamming is posting anything that doesn't relate directly to the thread topic, or meaningless one word or smiley posts.]

2. Respect the administrators and fellow role players. Bashing of any sort will result in yet another warning, or banishment depending on the severity of the case.

3. This site is PG. By this we mean watch the content of your posts. NO vulgar language and such. Violate this and you will get a warning.

4. This site is not a democracy. "What?"you exclaim. "It's a free country!" Actually, there are users here from all over the world, so this free country stuff doesn't really apply. There are limits so listen to the admins and mods, and we'll try to be fair with you.

5. When joining, you must join as either a kit or an apprentice. No exceptions.

6. No advertising in the general boards and role play boards. Do it in the advertising thread, please and thank you!

7. No oversized banners, they clog up the forum like butterflies in a toilet! [Sorry...Don't ask.] Signature requirement size is about 3 inches in height. Length doesn't matter as long as it doesn't stretch the screen. We can change them.

8. Try to use good grammar. Periods, capitalization, spelling, the works. It's not that hard, kids, and makes it a LOT easier to read your posts.

9. No double posting. Another one of those things that clog up the forum. If you need to add something else to your post, there's a little edit button that serves your purpose.
*We do understand that computers can go haywire and post two of the same message. That is okay*

10.You may have multiple accounts, but no "sockpuppeting," that is, pretending to be a separate user. See "Multi Rules" for more info.

11. We [the admins] reserve the right to ban any user for any reason at any given time. We will provide a reason why you are being removed from the site.

12. No racism or sexist talk, unless in role play (not that you'd be doing that much for Warriors, anyway.) It's probably a good idea to stay away from religion and politics, too.

13. When you register, your username should be your first character's name. Example: Gingerpaw, Snowkit, etc. You must start out as an apprentice or kit. :3

14. Post in the correct forum. We don't want to have to be moving topics left and right.

15. Don't post simply to raise your post count. If we see this occuring we will put an end to post counts.

16. Keep roleplay threads to roleplay. We understand that you may need to mention something to the other user, but don't start discussing monkeys or anything in a roleplay thread.

17. We reserve the right to edit these rules at any given time.

^v^Roleplay Rules ^v^

1. You are not allowed to roleplay more then one cat in StarClan. This rule is in effect as we do not want you to create cats just so you can kill them and have another character. If you do, for any reason, already have a cat in StarClan when you kill one, you may either simply roleplay the arrival of the second dead cat, and leave it at that, or quietly exit the first cat from all threads and roleplay the second cat in StarClan.

2. We have noticed an increasing amount of one-liners and bad posts in the roleplay. First of all, we expect you to post AT LEAST several sentences. Then, it is a good idea to include dialogue in most posts, as that usually gives other people something to respond to. Bad roleplay posts lead to inactivity, and if you honestly can't think of a worthwhile post- don't post it!

3. DO NOT, and we repeat, DO NOT show explicit violent or sexual themes/scenes in the roleplay. Keep it PG (refer to General Rule 1 for more info.)

4. If you wish to have kits, you must PM the admins for permission. Do not roleplay the birth or creation of the kits. {See above rule} Pm applications to the admins.

Code:

Application Form
[b]Mother:[/b]
[b]Father:[/b]
[b]Clan:[/b] (which clan are the kits going to be in?)
[b]Number of Kits:[/b]
[b]Genders: [/b](#males/#females)
[b]Basic Pelt colors: [/b](what color are the kits?) 

5. We do not expect you to put "It's RP'ed" [role played] at the bottom of each offensive role play post. Any offensiveness or harassment in RP is NOT personal. Keep all real life fights OUT of this site.

6. No deaths without admin permission. You may apply to kill your character, but we reserve the right to deny the death for any reason. Send application via pm to the admins.

Code:

Application Form
[b]Username:[/b]
[b]Character:[/b]
[b]Number of posts:[/b]
[b]Cause of Death:[/b]
[b]Why do you want your character to die?[/b]

7. The code word that you put in your profile is 'Howling Wolf' done in red. We reserve the right to change the code word at any time. This is just to make sure people have read the rules.

8. Be realistic in your character's actions. No perfect characters who never get hurt, no power playing. They may deflect spells, but they can't just ward them off automatically.

9. No god modding (powerplaying)-that's when you roleplay someone else' character without their permission. An example of god modding would be: "Snowfeather leaped at Silverfur and pinned him to the ground." However, a non-god modding post could say: "Snowfeather leaped at Silverfur, aiming to pin him to the ground." It's all in the wording, folks.

10. Don't use chatspeak while roleplaying. On other boards, this is allowed to a certain extent.

11. If you need to say something not having to do with the role play put it in parentheses or brackets.

12. Leaders will be selected through an by the site admin in various ways, and will remain in their post for a month, unless they resign or are removed from their post. If this happens, the deputy will take over as leader until the next selection alothough they are not guarteed the leader spot the next selection.

13. If you have a complaint, problem, or issue regarding either your leader or deputy and/or a moderator, PM an admin about it. However, before PM-ing us with your problem, make sure it is a real problem, not a petty complaint. By doing this we are avoiding a site fight.

14.At this time, second charcaters are not allowed.

Moderatory Action

Breaking the rules can result in the following actions:

1st offence:Reminder
2nd offence:Warning (3)
3rd offence:Taking away PM privlages
4th offence:Temporary ban
5th offence:Permenant ban

*Some of the rules are more serious than others. If they are broken then a more severe action will be used no matter if this is the 1st or 3rd time being called down.*
