These are the new rules, and we hope that everyone will read them first before continuing further; that goes for newbies as well. Please understand that these rules are necessary to keep order, and ensure everyone will be happy here. They are not made to restrict you, or take away your fun. ^ - ^ Personally, I think they're all pretty reasonable.
First off, please do not register if you only want to join for the benefits such as the gallery or blogs, and don't plan to post anything.
Newbies are restricted to the Newbies Forum they've made at least 10 posts. 35 will get you into the other Topic Discussion forums. Once you get 50 posts, you will also get access to the music forum, and the blogs, as well.
Despite that, please do not make pointless or consecutive posts just to have more posts. Posts that do not contribute to the RP such as ".......' or "=P" Will be deleted. Consecutive posting(posting one post after another about the same thing in the same topic) will be deleted as well. This also includes topics for the purpose of advertising. We call that spam.
Even if there is no way to monitor this, we ask that you please don't quote others just to get more posts. Quote people only when it is needed, or proves a point.
Don't create topics with the same subject, such as creating a new topic for every chapter in your 30-chapter fanfic. It's a form of consecutive posting. You can notify of updates in the updates page.
The RP isn't a chatroom, and shouldn't be treated as such. Try to include everyone in your discussions, since this is a public forum. Private discussions can be held elsewhere, or even by the use of your PM (Private Messenger) located at the top of the screen, in the My Controls page.
Respect all others and take their feelings into consideration when you are posting. Do not provoke them by using sarcasm, criticizing them negatively, or testing them. Do not swear at other members. There are sensitive people who will not take what you're saying as a joke, even if it is one. The RP is not here for debates, arguments and random fighting.
Please try to avoid creating topics just for the purpose of criticizing or flaming something you don't like. There is a chance someone else may find that offensive, and it may cause unnecessary (and unwanted) conflicts.
Avoid gender-based arguments on the anime and manga characters. This is not saying that you cannot have regular discussions about the manga; just keep them on the mild side.
Don't flood the RP with images, especially of the same kind. If you posted an image in one topic, chances are people have already seen it, and there's no need to post another one.
Especially do not post artwork or fiction in another member's fanart or fanfic topic without their permission. This is a common courtesy that needs to be followed.
The starter of a topic can suggest to a staff member that it be closed if it gets too off topic.
Please don't direct link to pictures posted anywhere on the RP, since it's wasting someone's bandwidth out there, and it may cause complaints towards the RP.
The webmistress created this site to make friends with people that share the same interests. It is supposed to be a friendly community, so please try your best to keep it at that.
Those who violates any of these rules will be warned. If you break them 3 or more times, one of the staff members will have to take action, and you may be subjected to a ban from the site, depending on what rules you broke.

That's all, minna-chan! ^ - ^ If you have any questions concerning the rules, or anything else in the RP, you can ask them in the Questions topic in the Newbies Forum.
