General
Respect everyone on the site; rudeness will not be tolerated. If you have a problem with someone, solve it.
No discrimination. No negative comments about one's sexuality, religion, race, etc. will be tolerated. Words can be hurtful and they can cut deep. Think about what you mean before you type or say anything. Despite 'sticks and stones may beak my bones, but words will never hurt me', words can hurt someone and they can even kill.
No cussing someone out
No debates in the cbox on subjects such as religion and sexual orientation, etc. They just get annoying and usually end up pissing someone off.
If you have a problem with someone, take it up with a member of staff
Do not post links to anything inappropriate, including websites, pictures, and videos.
No plagiarism, including pictures, writings, graphics, etc. If you did not make it, do not say you did and credit the person who did.
Do not ask to be a part of the staff. If there's a spot open, it will be let known. Odds are that if you ask, sorry but you will not be given a part unless it is stated as open.
If you notice someone disobeying the rules and a member of staff has not noticed, please PM a member of staff and let us know. We'd rather be able to directly confront the rule-breaker than have he/she cause trouble for the rest of the site.
If you have a problem, talk it out and reach an acceptable solution. Do not start fights out of character.
This site is PG-13, and as a member, you are expected to keep it so. Fights involve gore, we know, but keep it down. No one wants to get a horrid mental image. Because this site respectfully follows Proboards TOS, sex scenes are NOT allowed on here-- besides PG-13 usually means no sex. If you begin to write a sex scene, fade to black. If you wish to continue it, take it somewhere else. We don't want it. If you must continue it in personal message, fine, but we recommend that you don't as Proboards doesn't like that either. Violation mainly of the sex scene part of this rule can get this forum removed.
Have FUN!!

Posting
***Please note that this is an intermediate to advanced roleplaying site. If you are just starting out roleplaying, then I'm sorry, but this is probably not the site for you.
There is a word count of 200 words. You can easily check your word count when posting. 200 words is the bare minimum for a post and we like our members to strive for as many words as possible. This is an intermediate to advanced roleplay.
No god moding or powerplaying allowed. Do not take control of someone else's character unless they say it is okay, like in a fight.
Use proper grammer and spelling. It's easy to check your spelling. The only time you can slide by with using things such as "omg", "brb", "idk", "ttyl", and etc. is in your character's dialogue if they actually speak like that.
Keep it down on the cussing. You can cuss, but please don't be dropping a cuss word in every sentence. Keep is appropriate.
Also keep it down on gore. Sure there's fights, but don't go into so much detail that it sounds like you're reading an R rated horror story.
This site is PG13 like stated above. If you want to do something Mature, take it off the site. We respect Proboards TOS here and they do not want any mature content in threads and personal messages so neither do we. If it has to be known that your character is sleeping with another character, fade to black.
Do NOT post until AFTER your character's application has been accepted by a member of staff and do not bug staff to check out your application. The staff have lives and will see to your application as soon as possible.

Characters & Applications
It is highly advised that you at least watch Teen Wolf. You don't have to be exactly caught up since we a post season 4 website. But it does help out if you watch the tv show.
There is no posting requirement in order to make another character, however you must be active with all your characters in order to keep them.
After being accepted, change your display name to your character's first and last names.
One account per character.
Right now each member is only allowed one canon character. We don't want somebody having five major canons and merely role playing with themselves. So if you are Scott, you can't apply to be Stiles. This will probably change in the future.
Before applying for any character, check the faceclaim thread and ban boards.
Everything in the application must be filled out. (You may look at applications belonging to other members for examples)
If you are not finished with your application, you may post it as a WIP. After finishing it, reply to it and let us know it’s finished. Do not bug the staff through messaging, chat box, or any other way about looking at your application.
If your application is denied, do not get angry over it. It's nothing personal. Read the reasons why it was denied and fix them. Once the errors are fixed, reply to the application and let us know you fixed them.
Do NOT change or add any coding to the applications. They are just the way the site likes them to be.

Chatbox/Shoutbox
OOC stands for Out of Character. It's where you talk rather than your character. IC stands for In Character. All the bellow rules go for both OOC and IC.
Respect everyone in the cbox, even guests.
No flaming.
Advertising is not allowed, period, even if the site appears dead. All advertisements posted in the cboxes will be removed and ignored.
Swearing is to be kept to a minimum. Do NOT cuss someone out on any of the cboxes, even in character.
Obey the staff without any questions. The staff is here for a reason and is not stupid. What they say goes. If a member of staff appears to be misusing his or her power, message the head admin (Mandi-Cakes) or the co admin (Anna).
Be considerate. Think about others before you say something or post something. Seriously, we're all humans and we all have hearts and can all get hurt.
The staff haves lives and sometimes they get very busy just like every other member, so do not ask staff to look at applications. They will look at them when they have the time.
Don't constantly bug someone to post. It's annoying and will most likely end up irritating that person and they might not post at all.
No whining.
No sexual comments. Some people really don't like them and the site does not want anyone to get offended.
Absolutely no racism and/or sexism.
Respect someone's gender, religion, race, and sexual orientation.
Do NOT rub your gender, religion, race, and sexual orientation in another's face.
Do NOT bug anyone about reading messages, acquiring their msn or any other messaging system username, etc.
