Rules Of The Forum
**Any member who cannot abide by these rules will face the consequences, remember to read them all carefully before you make any auditions or applications so you have a clear understanding of what we're watching out for. Also remember to have fun!**
ACTIVITY
* Please try and stay active, this includes all characters/accounts.
* We will have monthly activity checks and character voting. Should you fail to post in the Activity Check those characters will be reopened on the site for other members to take.
-- Characters must have at least one thread post for them to count in the activity check.
* You may reclaim your characters if they aren't taken already, if you miss the activity check, please message a staff member in regards to your lost character(s).
* If you are going to be gone for THREE or more days, please post a hiatus in the Hellos and Goodbyes board so staff and members are aware of your absence.
CBOX
* Please do NOT advertise in our Cbox, it's what we have an advertising and affiliates board for.
* Be sure to read the rules above the cbox regarding the more specific rules there.
* If Guests should appear, please be kind to them, if they have questions try and answer them if you can, if it's something for the staff to handle, please contact a staff member if you can.
* If there are any conflicts in the cbox, message a staff member, do not get yourself involved for it has become a staff related issue, do not 'fuel the flames' of whatever issue.
OTHER FACTS
* Post count is only enabled on Role Playing and Character boards.
* You CANNOT start role playing until you've been approved by Staff.
* This is a literate Final Fantasy RP site, for intermediate and advanced role players.
* NO Kingdom Hearts characters are allowed.
------------------------------
AUDITIONS AND APPLICATIONS
* Canons and Original Characters are allowed.
* You must have a separate account for each character.
* You MUST audition for a canon character before making the application.
* A canon audition must be approved by TWO staff members before making the application.
* You can reserve any canon that is open for up to ONE week unless you've spoken with a staff member about an extended reservation.
* If you start a WIP application, it must be finished within a week or it is moved to the denied board.
* Please stay in character, if the staff feels you are going out of line with a canon, they have the right to take them away.
* Custom titles are allowed, though not required.
* It is allowed that your first two characters are "Free" without permission.
* After two characters, you must ask BOTH ADMINISTRATORS if you are allowed to take another character, whether it be canon or OC, just to make sure you can keep up.
* If people start falling behind without posting anything or talking to anyone, we may request that you drop threads or characters, whatever it takes to keep the site moving at a fast pace, it's not fair to make another person wait.
ORIGINAL CHARACTER RESTRICTIONS
* Absolutely NO OC Turks, First Class SOLDIERS, Cetras, Class Zero members, or other restricted roles within Final Fantasy. (If you have a question about this, ask a staff member)
* No Vampires, werewolves, fairies, or whatever else is out there. This is a FINAL FANTASY site, not a Twilight site, or Skyrim site, please stick within the races of Final Fantasy.
* No Animal creatures. Canons are allowed this for example, Nanaki, but we don't need any talking dogs or bird people wandering around the site.
GRAMMAR, SPELLING, STYLES
* Please write in THIRD PERSON (this includes applications as well)
* Please be sure to check your grammar and spelling before posting anything, it makes things easier to read when one can understand what you're saying.
* Please use "Quotation Marks" around a character's speech, if possible, make their speech a different color than the site's default text, just so no one misses anything.
** Do not BUG someone to post right away, if you've been waiting for along time, message a staff member and they'll take everything into account and talk to said person about their activity.
Also do not bug a staff member repeatedly about checking an audition or application, they are busy with real life and their own posts, nothing goes unnoticed. **
THREADS
* When you start a thread, be sure to put [Open] if it is open, [Closed] if it is closed between you and a select number of people, or to make it even easier, tag the other person within the title like so. "Thread title blahblahblah [Zack]"
* Do not start a thread for someone without speaking to them first, they must agree, otherwise it's not fair to them.
* When a thread is finished, message a staff member so they can move the thread to the archives and link it on the master list.
GODMODDING
* Do NOT godmod someone else's character without their permission. (This includes injuring them, making them move or speak, their belongings cannot be godmodded etc.)
* If you do godmod, ask permission first and post in the notes that permission was given.
* Do not kill another person's character without their permission.
------------------------------
L'CIE - EIDOLONS - FOCUSES
* You must fill out an application for your character to be a L'Cie and wait until it is moved by staff to go forth with the plot.
* You must request an Eidolon via the Eidolon's list. You cannot take an Eidolon that is already claimed.
* L'Cie can either finish or fail their focus - and you can bring them back by any means necessary - but you must give it a little bit of time before returning them to the role play game.
--------------------------------
NEW RULES: TIME MANAGEMENT AND GRAPHICS
* Posted WIP applications or Auditions should be completed within a week or they are automatically denied.
* Any audition that is denied due to a time limit, that character cannot be auditioned for by the same person.
* Do NOT post WIP replies, only post something unless it's finished otherwise people get frustrated and confused.
* Avatar Dimensions are now 150 pixels by 250 pixels.
* No images that stretch the page, I believe the width limit is 500 pixels, otherwise we'll ask you size down the picture.
* Don't use an overload of GIFS, it slows down the page terribly, especially for those with a crappier internet connection.
MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER
* Do not pester staff or members to do something, it's rude.
* Canon auditions are MANDATORY.
* Post in THIRD PERSON.
* Post in ALL activity checks (only threaded characters count)
* Check all spelling and grammar before posting.
* If a staff member approaches you about something, do NOT drag it into the cbox.
IF THERE IS ANY SORT OF PROBLEM OR ISSUE, QUESTIONS, COMMENTS OR CONCERNS REGARDING ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE SITE, PLEASE CONTACT ONE OF THE STAFF MEMBERS AND THEY'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ASSIST YOU!
