General and Roleplay Rules

General Rules
Rule I
Respect Others, the Site, and Yourself.
It is important that everyone is happy around here.

Rule II
What the Administrator and Moderators say goes.
Unless they are joking, they are just doing their job.

Rule III
Keep All Content PG-13 to Teen.
If you want to have a Mature 16+ conversation, do it in Private Messages, the staff won't stop you as long as it is in a Private Message.

Rule IV
Don't be overly dramatic.
It may sound like a stupid rule to you, but some people are dramatic.The idea of a drama section is hanging in midair, so it might happen, or it might not.
We get you're having a rough time, but people being in a bad mood can bring others down, too.

Rule V
Don't Steal Artwork.
Everybody has artwork copyrighted to them, it's not far for a person who worked so hard to have their art stolen.If you want to show us, post it in the lounge, not in the galleries and make sure to link back to the original owner or say (C) to [Artist's name goes here].

Rule VI
Don't Black Mail or Cyberbully.
This goes along with Rule I.It's not fair to anyone to be bullied, people have feelings and can be sensitive.We all know what being bullied is like, don't deny it.You shouldn't take out your anger on innocent people, it's not right.

[These Rules Apply Everywhere on the Site, Including the Roleplay Category and the Chat Box]
