the rules
- No godmoding (controlling, wounding, killing, etc.) of anybody else's characters without that player's express consent.
- This site is supposed to be fun. Please respect your fellow members. Threats, flames or general rude behaviour won't be tolerated. If you don't like someone or are fighting with them or whatever, please try to solve your problems like rational adults. If you can't do this, then simply ignore the other person. It's not hard.
- Smut is banned in the Proboards Terms of Service, and since we don't want to get shut down, it's also out of bounds here. If your characters are going to do the deed, use the fade-to-black technique, please.
- Swearing is allowed in posts, but not to excess; please try and keep with how often your character would swear. Only cuss like a sailor if it's in-character for you to do so.
- Doody doo I'm going to make strange noises to make this line seem longer than it really is lalala. The secret code for your application is banana.
- Please adhere to the site's timeline. We are currently post-Planet of the Dead for Doctor Who and pre-Children of Earth for Torchwood, since not all of us have been able to see it yet mutter mutter.
- Upon the acceptance of your application, please change your display name to your character's name in caps.
- It's not necessary for you to have a signature image but you must have an icon.
- Please do not kill off your own character without consulting the staff first. If you don't want them anymore, there's sure to be someone else out there who does.
- Character restrictions: this is also stated on the canon list, but I'm putting it in here too, for good measure. Original characters are currently NOT being accepted; once we fill the canon roles, we'll see how we go. Rose Tyler is also not accepted; it's been done to death enough by RTD, we don't need to ruin her here too.
- I lied; the actual code word blah thingy djfkd making this line longer skidoo due south is awesome the actual code word is spaceman.
- This is a literate/advanced role play site. We expect at least 200 words per IC post, and we do deny applications here on the basis of spelling/grammatical errors, Mary Sue syndrome or general poor characterization. We will, however, offer constructive criticism; if your app is denied, it's up to you whether you choose to follow the advice given or leave in a huff.
- The Cbox is for idle chit-chat. Please do not spam it with pointless messages or make a scene in it - any disagreements can just as easily be settled via PM. It makes us look bad to guests when our members argue in the chat area.
- A single player is allowed to take a maximum of three canon characters, however we'd prefer you take less and leave some open for other people.
- If a character you want is already taken, please don't complain about it or try to berate the other player into giving it up; this won't get you anything but a warning.
- Trolling will not be tolerated.
If these rules sound a tad strict, it's only because we've had bad experiences with rulebreakers in the past. The admins are really nice people, despite the fact they've both been served a heaping pile of crazy, and just want to make this the best roleplay site it can be.
