FF&RP Rules
Basic Guidelines
1. No spamming. Spamming is defined as any short, pointless or off-topic post.
2. No flaming. This means no tying ENTIRELY IN CAPITALS or insulting another member. In FF&RP, this also extends to insulting a fan fiction without providing any suggestions for improvement.
3. No double-posting. Or triple-posting, or quadruple, or anything else to that effect. Unless youre quoting, in which case keep it to a minimum.
Roleplay Rules
1.
The following rule has been revised by Cross Stinger: Individual events involving only one character are permitted, on the condition that they are triggered by events in the roleplay's main plot and/or result in other plot events occuring.
2. No God-modding. Quite simply, no member of a roleplay may be immune to harm, or inflict damage on other members without their consent. For example, its acceptable to throw a knife at someone. Its not acceptable to say it hit him in the neck.
3. No remote control of the characters. In other words, you cannot exert any control over any other members character without their consent.
4. No hijacking of the plot. Basically, you cannot change the plot of a roleplay unless you are the creator of said roleplay.
5. Each member may only use one character per roleplay, unless he/she has specific permission from the creator of the roleplay.
6. Non-player characters (NPCs) are exempt from the jurisdiction of rules 2 and 3. In other words, they may be controlled by any member and attacked at will.
7. No character may be immortal, invincible or unkillable.
8. When posting off-topic comments, use ((double brackets)) to separate the off-topic part from the rest of the post. Entirely off-topic posts will not be accepted.
9. All characters must be approved by the roleplays creator before they are permitted to enter the roleplay. However, the thread creator has no obligation whatsoever to accept all characters.
10. All characters must follow the layout of the initial bio stated by the roleplays creator.
11. A bio must be submitted for all characters before they are used in the roleplay. Any characters which do not comply to this rule will be treated as NPCs in accordance with rule 6.
12. All roleplays must have a plot, or some kind of purpose, which must be outlined in the first post. Any roleplay without a recognisable storyline will be closed.
13. Language and content of a roleplay must be kept appropriate for all members.
14. If a roleplay is closed, a new thread for the same roleplay may
not be made until the Moderator responsible for locking the original thread states otherwise. Doing so may result in a permanent ban on threads pertaining to that roleplay.
15. Any roleplay with more than
six out-of-character posts on one page will be locked. Similarly, a total of ten out-of-character posts on two adjacent pages will result in a lock. Please note that this rule only applies to roleplays which have actually started, and does not include posts by Moderators who are not active members of the roleplay in question.
16. No member - including the thread's creator - may play the main villain in a roleplay as their main (or only) character.
Fan Fiction Rules
1. The content of all literary works hereinafter referred to as fanfics for simplicity must be kept appropriate for all members. If a fanfic will contain strong language, violence or other explicit content, an appropriate warning must be placed in the first post.
2. Chapters must be of a suitable length. By suitable, I mean long enough to cover the average monitor. Use quotation marks, paragraphs and correct spelling and grammar. It is recommended that you type up chapters in Microsoft Word or any other word-processing package with a spellcheck function.
3. All review posts must contain useful suggestions. This is good, keep it up is not acceptable, and will be removed. Similarly, pestering the author for the next chapter or posting numerical ratings will not be tolerated.
4. Any fanfics posted are the sole property of the author, and may not be reproduced or posted on another site without the authors permission.
5. Other members roleplay or fanfic characters may not be used without the creators permission.
