Account Rules
-No double accounts, second accounts, whatever. It's pointless and takes up space.
-Your account name should be whatever you want to be called, really. Be it your main characters name, your name (not advised) or something else.
-Avatars can be up to 200x200 in size. Please try and make your avatar aforementioned size, as it looks much nicer to those viewing the forum. Also, no vulgar or sexual avatars.
-Signatures should not stretch the page sideways, nor should it be to long. I will warn you if your signature is the wrong size and will give you a little while to change it - one or two days.
General Rules
-Mild swearing (for example; Shit, Crap, Bloody, Bitch and Bastard) is allowed in roleplay, but shouldn't be used anywhere else.
RP Rules
-If you want to use OOC (Out Of Character) in roleplay, simply put "OOC:" before what you want to say. When you want to go back to IC (In Character) put "IC:". If you aren't saying anything in OOC, there is no need to use the two.
-In rp threads, you must write something in IC. No OOC only posts.
-This can be a dark roleplay at times, so blood and violence is allowed, all though try to keep it on a mild level. If there is excessive amounts of violence, put a warning in the thread title. See below for more on this.
-This is a semi-literate roleplay, so please try and write at least five sentences. Give your fellow members something to work with.
-Private roleplays are allowed. See below for more information on how to set out a private roleplay.
-No Godmodding or Powerplaying. If you are unsure whether you are doing either of these, feel free to ask either the member you are roleplaying with or a Helper. For more on Godmodding and Powerplaying during fights, look below.
-While posting orders aren't required, please try to not flood a member of your roleplay if they are absent for one reason or another.
-Continuing from the above point, if a member is going on holiday, they may either make an exucuse for their character to be absent (Such as a buisness trip) or let another member roleplay as their character.
-Do not double post. If you are roleplaying as more than one character, do it within the same post.
-Liquid Play is not allowed within the main roleplay. For more information on this, look at the post below concerning this.
-If your character is leaving a roleplay thread, make sure to both show your character leaving IC, and to tell the other roleplaying members that they are leaving OOC.
Character Rules
-You can have as many characters as you want, as long as you think you can handle all of them. If you want to make bios for your characters relatives or other characters you would only play once in a blue moon because you find it easier to keep track of them, go ahead.
-Try and use a name that fits the steampunk type. Sites such as the Victorian and Steampunk Name Generator and Brass Goggles have excellent name generators for those having trouble with names.
Punishments
Depending on the severity of the rule broken, you will recieve:
A warning.
A second warning.
A 1 day ban.
A 2 day ban.
A 3 day ban.
A week ban.
A month ban.
Banned forever.
Sometimes steps will be skipped out - for example, graphic sex will automatically resort in a 1 day ban, while graphic rape will automatically resort in a 3 day ban.
