General Rules:
[1] Follow the Gaia TOS! (this SHOULD be agiven)
[2] Animal Crossing is a game with an E for everyone rating. I'd really like to keep that atmosphere here. ^^ E-rated thread!
[2a] Expanding on the above rule, please avoid swearing whenever possible, and never direct it towards others. (OOCly) >w< If you really need t, you can just block it with asterisks, (*) 'kay? ^^'
People don't seem to be taking this seriously. ^^'' I understand that you might slip up, but could you at least go back and correct it rather than continue? Maybe if I put no swearing in bold, it'll be more noticed.
[2b] Also expanding a bit on rule 2, please don't come in to complain about how you just had a fight, or along those lines. ^^' After all, we don't come to the internet to get depressed, do we?
[3] No theft of anything, including art. =O This should be obvious, since it's also in the TOS.
[4] Don't interpret anything I say as being dirty. =O I hate it when people do that.
[5] Don't make fun of my overusing smileys. XD'''
[6] Please don't let anything here upset or annoy you. Have fun! =3
[x] I'll add more if I see fit. ^^
RP Rules:
[1] Again, Gaia TOS. XD'
[2] This should go without saying, but no killing other people's pets. It's mean. >=O I'd really prefer it if you don't kill of your own pets, either. I don't have anything against a bit of angst, but, seriously. O.O'' Meaning, no dying in general. XD
[3] Similar to the above rule, you may not cause permanent damage (or damage in general, really) to somebody else's character without their prior consent. This is also mean. >w< This generally can be avoided with a post that leaves something open-ended. (Like, say, you throw something across the room, but don't assume it hits and leave it up to whomever you were throwing it at. )
[4] Here's something I learned from Furcadia- if somebody does something you don't like, you can pretend it didn't happen. You cannot use this to ignore every little thing that bothers you and make it go your way. For example, if you were just having a pleasant conversation and a ninja suddenly falls from the sky and hold a knife to your throat, then yeah, that would be a good time for this rule. XD
But, if somebody asks you a question that you don't really want to answer, or they poke you, or something minor like that, then you should be able to deal with it. >w<
[5] Umm, no unnecessary violence. I don't mind an occasional fight, but you don't need to attack people every other roleplay. XD'''
[6] Please don't excessively describe gore. T-T I don't mind a blood reference, but if you describe a wound in detail it makes Glace faint in the corner of the room. XD'''
[7] I would still prefer it if you didn't use foul language. If worst comes to worst, just use asterisks (*) the cover the word. XD'''
[8] Keep in mind your surroundings. If you're in the forest, then you can't randomly stumble upon a coconut tree, or hide in a barn. XD''
[9] For the love of Nook, don't use cyan, yellow, or white as a font color. It makes my eyes burn. T-T Plus, people with lighter monitors can't read your posts at all.
[10] In the case of cosplays/special animals, characters are allowed to have minor powers without my consent, but please use them responsibly. If your character has stronger powers or you just aren't sure, ask me first. ^^
