RULES!! (REVISED)

[Kipchaclaw]

THE OFFICIAL RULES (REVISED)

General Rules:

1.] As we all know, fights are all too common on this site, which needs to be stopped. So, everyone, MANAGERS INCLUDED, please offer positive reinforcement to all newbies and other wayward members. I mean seriously, Rika and I made this site to be a fun and interesting experience...and people's negativity is draining all the enjoyment out of it.

2.] There is a FIVE SENTENCE REQUIREMENT on all rping posts! This isn't hard, people. Assuming that we are all above grade five and have no mental disabilities this is possible.

3.] Use your head when posting, please! While in the womb you were given a brain, PLEASE USE IT! Try as often as possible to use the correct spelling, no speed-chat, and correct grammatical forms when role-playing on this site.

For people who need examples:

::WRONG form of posting::

spritt jums frum da tre an does a cartweel. every1 claps der pawzzz.

(translation: Spirit jumped from the tree and did a cartwheel. Everyone clapped their paws.)

::The RIGHT form::

Grasspaw padded in from his morning hunt with a mouthful of prey. His mouth was so full that it was a miracle that he could even breathe! The tom placed his catches down at his fore-paws before continuing on to the fresh-kill pile. After the apprentice had settled down, he began to bite gratefully into a plump vole. Grasspaw then took a moment to observe his clan-mates hustling along on their morning tasks.

That wasn't so hard, was it? Please try your best to meet our requirements.

4.] As for advertisement, you may post ONE COMMENT of advertisement on the chat box!! There is also a board dedicated for site advertisement, y'know. If you are really determined to adveritise, let one of the admins know and they'll send out a mass message about it.

5.] Also, PLEASE DON'T FLOOD THE C-BOX!! That is REALLLY annoying to some of us to have to sift through all the spam.

Bio Form Rules:

1.] USE THE BIO FORM! We did not make up a bio form just for you to go and create your own little personal form. That makes other naives think that they can do the same thing...which leads to massive chaos.. Also, staff will be assigned to accept the bio forms and will move all checked bios into the "accepted bio forms" board.

2.] Please no Graystripes/Leafpools/Squirrelpaws/Firehearts please!
Cannon charecters are bland and lack creativity. BE CREATIVE, PEOPLE!.

3.] No cats with muffin rays, streams of fire beaming out of their eyes or the like. We like to keep this site somewhat realistic. But you may have a cat with minor powers, but please discuss this with a manager before going through with it! (Circuits are the exception. Circuits are D3h uBer n3SS.)

4.] No stealing the full names of other cats.
There are obvious very unique names, (IE Masquerade, Harlequin, Etc.) Do not use them.
However, basic first names are okay (IE Shadow, Sand, Etc.) Anyone at anytime has the right to politely ask you to change your name if they feel that yours is to close to theirs.

5.] Just in real life, CATS DIE eventually. Please keep this in mind.

(These are subject to change, please review these often! Also, staff, if you want to make any revisements please discuss these with the other staff so we can agree on it.)
