I believe in you all. Now I will only say this once. There is a password hidden in these rules. If you simply scan the rules for it I will know [] and not accept you until I am certain you have read them. []
one;;
Let's start the obvious shall we? Respect. Out of character there will be no name calling, harassing, leaving out...ANYTHING. It's no fun role playing on a site where you feel uncomfortable and neglected. Now if anyone feels this way about another member or if I see it then I will inform that member one time only. I won't come straight out with 'Jenny told me you were calling her a slut!' because that honestly doesn't solve anything. Again going along with respect I will PM anyone I am punishing. Punishment will not be carried out in the CBOX. Public humiliation is not very nice at all. Now I will warn you once and if you repeat this offense then I will ban you from the CBOX. If you persist in OOC then I will ban you from the site all together.

Posting length. Oh my goodness oh my goodness one liners make me want to punch people in the face! This site is at an intermediate level. The minimum for posting is three paragraphs. If you have a problem with that then you need to run along to a beginners board. Honestly if you enjoy writing enough to use my site then at least dish out some effort you know? A paragraph by definition means five sentences or more in length. Do NOT post a big block because that is just hard to read. I will give you three warnings on this matter and if you do not cease than I will delete your account.
three;;
Grammar. Another thing that sparks anger in me. Again this site is about writing. Take your time, no one is rushing you! Use spell check for Pete's sake! If you say to me that English is you second language and that's why you cannot click a button than I will tell you to shove it up your ass [[mean I know ]]. English being you second language doesn't give you the right to make a mockery out of my board. This will be treated like the posting length issue.

This board is rated NC-17. Now that means drugs, sex, racism, etc. is accepted here [[only in character of course!]]. If you have problems with what other people are doing do not bother complaining to me. Just pack your bags and leave. If you don't believe it's right than don't do it, but I'll be damned if your going to stick your nose in other people's business. Of course I would prefer sex scenes to be more about the relationship between the characters than the sex itself. I don't want you character to be running around and boffing every person they meet. Like I said before it would be nice if you kept the mature threads tasteful, but if you like that sort of thing than go ahead.

My CBOX. Now that little box is awesome. I love kidding around with you guys, but I don't need there to be people having cyber sex on it. My CBOX is sacred people! There will be no *moans and licks lips*. The CBOX is not a place your allowed to 'forget' the rules in. Respect is key! If you do something forbidden in my box I will temporarily ban you from it or simply ban you all together depending on what you do.

Third person. It's much more appealing than any other person . This is the required format for your posting, while OOC can be in first person. Let's be sure to use this the right way alright? What to do : 'Jane clutched at the human's throat. She felt the pulse of her victim and it drew her over the edge.' What NOT to do: 'Jane feels the pulse of her victims throat. She lowers her head and inserts her fangs into the human's flesh.'

Possessive behavior. OK loves, I can't believe I have to explain this, but posting is nothing personal. One member might try to seduce your character's spouse for the sake of their plot. It makes things more interesting! So don't complain to me or any other member that some member is 'out to get you'. Be serious! This is the Internet. The password is lolipop. Even if you and another member are good pals doesn't mean you two are remotely close in the real world. Just don't get too stressed over that kind of thing, it's really annoying to listen to.

Absolutely no god modding! People you cannot kill a member without their permission! It's unethical and not fun to role play with someone who posts about five attacks on you without giving you time to react to the first. Here I'll make it easy for you:
Post an attack.
The other member will post their reaction to that attack as well as their own attack.
And so on.
It is that simple. I will give you two warnings about this before you are banned from my site.

Spamming. There is an affiliates board for a reason! If you post another site's URL anywhere else I will spam the crap out of that site and then yell at you. If your looking for help on your new site simply PM the URL to the person you are speaking to and no one gets hurt. Ta da!

Listen to staff please. I choose them to fill the position for a reason. Now each moderator has a specific job, but if they catch something that another mod didn't they are free to notify me about it. They however cannot punish you until they have discussed it with me in the staff lounge. If a staff member is abusing their power than notify me and I'll set them straight, but be warned: if you complain to me about them telling you what you've done wrong or anything close to that I will tell you to stick it where the sun don't shine! If I am abusing my power than feel free to talk to a mod and they will discuss it with me in the staff lounge. For that I will not punish you. Nobody likes a tyrant.

The staff members of SF, including myself, reserve the right to add, change, or take away any rules we see fit. If you don't like it then tough shit.
