All right. I know people hate reading all the rules on roleplay sites (Including me who has to write these ones) but without them it is absolute chaos (which I have seen) so without further ado I give you the site Rules and Regulations.
General Rules
.Age limit- Spirits of the Brave has a minimum age limit of 15. Sorry to those that are younger but this site really isn't for you with some of the topics that are dealt with. Be sure to come back when you are older as we would still like to meet you.
.Respect- We are all people and all of us deserve to be treated with respect whether it is me or a new member who has only just joined the site. This means we are kind to each other no matter what and help other members out. I won't stand for rudeness on here and if anyone sees it I ask they report it to a staff member and they will be dealt with fairly and accordingly. Roleplay sites are places where everyone should be able to gather together and have fun while they write and this place aims to do that.
.Keep it clean- Nobody younger than 15 should be on this site due to our rules on age limits but that doesn't mean we can get carried away. There are some who just don't want to see mature stuff roleplayed. As this site is based on racing it will involve injuries and that sort of thing but anything that is particularly mature should have a rating in the thread title.
.Be active- If you are going to be away for more than two weeks let us know in the Absences board and we will take note of it. If you do not inform us and you are inactive for over a month you will lose your characters and after three months your account will be deleted. There will be activity checks every so often where everyone must check in with us to show they are active.
Character Rules
.Character Limits- There will be no limits on the amount of characters you can make but bear in mind you must have a separate account for each one and be active with them all. You must have 7 roleplay post with all your current characters before making another one. I also ask that we make a good spread in terms of age, gender and what member group they are in.
.Face Claims- Your face claim for a character should be within 5 years of the age of your character to make it seem realistic. The only exception to this is if the character has a medical condition that makes them look that way. These are usually fairly rare so will be looked into carefully. Also, all face claims MUST be 13 or over to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act.
.Mary Sue's/Gary Stu's- Nobody is perfect, not me and not you either. It is the same way with characters. I don't need to see a laundry list of flaws but make them so that they don't just seem like someone who is good at everything. It isn't very nice.
.Character Serious Injury/Death- This IS a racing site and things like this WILL happen but in the right way. If you want your character to be involved in something like this then please PM an admin and we will work with you to create a way for it to happen. It is not to happen, however, without the permission of administrators. When things do go ahead don't make it all too graphic cause there are younger people on the site to consider as well as the older ones.
Roleplay Rules
.Godmodding- I hope I don't have to remind people how annoying this is. If I see anyone godmodding a thread they will be punished as it ruins everyones experience and makes them angry because they want to roleplay properly and fairly. You have been warned. Nobody wants to have this done to them so DO NOT do it to others. It is the worst thing a roleplayer can do.
.Posting- I know everyone has their off days but we are going to have a 300 word post count here. It isn't fair to the person you are roleplaying with if they have to try and make a good response out of one that is way too small. If you can't find the posting muse to conjure up a 300 word post at least them maybe it is best left for another day when you have more muse.
Avatars and Signatures
Size- The avatar size is 200x300 and it looks best at that size when you see the mini profile of a character. Signatures should be no larger than 500x300 otherwise it could stretch the board and we don't want that now do we?
Rules
in the CBOX
.Spamming- There will be NO spamming in the CBOX. It is extremely rude and annoying.
.Advertising- Please don't advertise in the CBOX. There is a board where you can advertise in a much better way.
.Fighting- No fighting allowed in the CBOX or all parties involved will be punished. I want people to get along.
.Language- Yes, the odd curse word is allowed but don't go mad with it. Foul language should never be directed at other members.
The Strike System
Here at Spirits of the Brave I am going to operate a four strike system.
.Strike 1- A public apology must be written
.Srtike 2- You will be banned from roleplay for 2 weeks
.Strike 3- Suspension for 2 weeks and banned from roleplay for two weeks after your retuen
.Strike 4- You will be asked to leave the site
With this said and done, let the roleplay begin!
