Black Forest Rules
1. You are to respect one another here. Be nice and polite. If you are being mistreated or feel as such contact an admin ASAP and we will sort this out..
2. We do have a word limit on the site which is 200 words, it's easy to do, though we ask you try more, longer the better, detail people remember use your own five senses, get into the character, try match the post above you, and above all remember to have fun when you’re writing it.
3. Okay a few of us here are character whores (I freely admit I am and proud of it!) so there is no limit, but please, only make as many as you can handle. If you are not active with the ones you have though then you will not be allowed to make anymore until you are fully active. The staff have the right to refuse you a character if they deem it appropriate.
4. Please, PLEASE no god-modding. This is when you control what the person does in your RP post. In RPing, you cannot control what happens to the other character. Instead, you state your meaning. Anyone found to be guilty of this will be instantly banned, no exceptions.
5. Don't kill off another player’s character, or get them pregnant without permission. If you want your own character to die, or to get pregnant then contact the staff, and the other member involved in the pregnancy first. Once you have the approval of everyone involved you’re free to play it out, until then you've been warned.
6. Please don't start role-playing until your character has been approved by one of the staff members AND you've made all your claims! This is a big must!
7. Feel free to injure or kill your character, but if I notice you are doing nothing more than killing everyone you make within a short time frame I WILL remove your freedom to off them.
8. We do ask for a constant flow of activity on this site. Please keep that in mind when applying for characters. We will have frequent activity checks. We request that you login to every account more than just once a week and make sure you keep your characters active. We will not hesitate to take away characters that we feel are not being used.
9. Please remember we are a PG-13 rated site, meaning we will allow mentions of certain things but do not allow them to be role-played out. So if you have a thread that’s getting hot and heavy then fade to black okay? I don’t like this rule but it’s a Proboards rule and we have no other option than to follow it or risk the site being shut down.
10. Absolutely no Mary-Sue's or Gary-Sue's. This is a non-negotiable rule. Nobody is perfect, and your character is no different. Give them flaws, make them human. Mary Sue’s and Gary Sue’s will be denied.
11. We admins, may debate your patient class if we feel the one you chose doesn't fit. Please don’t be angry or get upset. It's to keep it realistic. If you are set on the class you chose then you will be given the chance to modify your characters application to make it fit the class you want.
12. When making a new character, try something different; do not have them all having the same illness. Mix it up, there's a countless amount of illnesses out there for you to use, so keep things exciting.
13. The age limit is a range between 16-85. No ifs, ands or buts. Patient under 16 is TOO young to be thrown in with some of the patients that I’m guessing will pop up let alone the content
14. Staff ARE allowed to have disorders, but they can not be overly extreme unless you want them admitted as a patient in a short time. I will be the judge and give you the options to change them, have them quit and leave or have them be admitted.
15. I want reasoning for your characters illnesses! I don't want a bunch of random things tossed into a character for absolutely no reason! Most mental illnesses have a background as to how they came up and i want this in the bio! Same with staff that have illnesses!
16. Do not show nudity in your graphics. Signatures should be a MAX of 500x300, this is a good size and very lovely. Double siggies are ok underneath one another but not side by side or it stretches the page too much. Avatars should be a max of 117x156.
17. Gender ratio. For every 3 females, please make one male. If you can not play a male and have problems with this then please speak to a staff member. Otherwise we need to keep the ratio even.
18. C-box. Please no fighting or arguing in the c-box. Please? not only does it make the site look bad but it also makes you look like a horrible person. If you have something to say PM that person or tell an admin.
19. Next up, advertising in the cbox should not happen. If you advertise in my cbox for another site then you will be banned, this includes if you post your affiliation code in the cbox. just don't do it. It’s alright to post links to pictures or videos, so long as they follow the main rules and can be viewed by people who are younger then 18.
Make sure you have fun and if you ever need admin help simply ask us we are always here to help.
