the rules
__________________________________
000. Well, first, I'd like to give you a warm welcome to Not A Second Rate Hero. Now, below this nifty welcome, you'll find the rules that you have to follow. I know, it sucks, right? It's a bit of a shame, but we have rules everywhere, and they need to be followed—oh yeah—everywhere. So, without further ado, I give you the rules!
001. Now, like most sites, here at Not A Second Rate Hero, the number one rule is respect. This rule be numero uno. Got it? I think you'd probably anjoy being respected, and it makes you feel good to be respectful. Sure, there are some things that are just intolerable, but treat others as you wish to be treated. The breaking of this rule will result in harsh punishment—no smiley faces for a week! Ha ha. No, but you'll be warned. Remember that the punishment will always fit the crime.
002. Not A Second Rate Hero is a canon and original character RP. We would like for everyone to have a canon if possible, BUT this is not a rule!! But Caitie! will give you cookies if you make a canon!
003. We are a no word count site. This mean you don't have to make your posts a certain length. BUT i don't want to see a bunch of one liners expecially if your partner is posting 500 or 600 words. try to much what your partner is posting. but if you can't you can't. we all have off day. OH! and longer posts get house points! check House Points for more details!
004. If you're going to be away, for any period of time, let us know! We really don't want to delete your account, but we will, if an activity check is held and you're not there. This isn't so much a rule as it is a guideline, but be extra careful in that department, 'cause we really don't want to delete you.
005. Make sure to check the face claim and reservations, so we don't have a huge mishap with the whole 'OMG! DEY TEWK MAH FAEC!' kind of arguments. So, please, please check the claims before making a character.
006. In regards to face claims, we are asking that certain canons (as marked on the canon list) will require the playby to be the movie actor/actress. This isn't meant to be crazy controlling; we just don't want things getting way off the beaten track if you know what I mean. However, if you want one of those canons and would like to have a different playby please PM an admin with who you want to change it to and why. Once approved, you can put it in your application. Those who try to use a different playby without asking will not be accepted. Remember this only applies to certain canons. Check the canon list!
007. Remember; we're a one character per account site! I know that this might seem like a stupid rule, but it really helps later on. If you're too lazy to log out and log into a different account—or use the account switch, for that matter—then don't even bother coming. It's simple; one is solitude, but two is crazy. I don't think you would enjoy going around with two or three completely different personalities whizzing about in our ten-pound brains.
008. Images may not stretch the page, or exceed 500 pixels in width. It's not very pretty if you have to scroll a bajillion times to the left just to finish reading something. If you stretch the page, you will get an offhand warning, and said image will be banned from the site until the width is fixed.
009. There shall be no IC posting in the OOC boards. Contrarily, there may be no fully OOC posts in an IC board. The breaking of this rule will result in an offhand warning and locking of the thread it was posted in. If you would like to have the thread re-opened, please PM the admin or a moderator.
010. NSRH is rated M for mature. This is a general rating for the entire site, but if you have a particular thread that will have adult themes please make them with [M] as some people may not want to read those types of threads. Threads that are found to have adult themes and not mark [M] will be changed by an admin and members praticipating in such threads will be warned. Further consequences will occur if this persists. Threads, even marked [M], that are deemed inappropiate by an admin will be deleted and members will be warned.
011. Each member is allowed four (4) characters. Each character must be on a different account. To keep male:female ratio even member must follow the following: if your first two (2) characters are female, your third must be male and vice versa then your fourth can be either male or female. If you have question please PM an admin!
012. This rule goes with rule 011! you may be able to void one or both parts of rule 011. you can extent to 5 characters after an application process and/or you may be able to make your third character the same gender as your first two characters if you ask an admin. please see character rules announcement for more details!
013. major canons (marked by { } on the canon list) are required to post two (2) times a week. this means you must post at least one (1) post on two (2) different days of the week. Posts that are not included in the minium count are OOC posts inlcuding plotting and games. Admins will not count it against if your thread partner(s) have not yet posted for you to reply. If you cannot post for whatever reason either post in the absence board or PM an admin. If you have questions about this rule PM an admin!
014. okay this rule is mas importante (very important for you non-spanish speakers). if you for whatever reason do not want one of your characters (you're bored with them, no muse, they've gotten on your nerves, you want to kill them off, whatever) please don't delete your account yourself! i repeat DO NOT by any means delete the account yourself! PM Caitie! from that character's account and say "hey i don't don't want this annoying git anymore please delete them". it is easier to get rid of all that account's thread and posts when the account is active. Once you PM Caitie, she will get everything taken care of. If you want that character's app please make a copy as it will be deleted along with the account. If you delete your own account you will make Caitie very unhappy, and you won't like her when she is angry (nerd reference ^^)
