GETTiNG STARTED ! gotta read it Every forum has guidelines to make sure things run smoothly, and, depending on the rule you break, consequences may follow. We're counting on you to read through the no-nos listed below. Please don't give us reason to suspend or ban you (we really hate resorting to that). If there is anything within the Handbook that is unclear or you have any questions, you can post in the Contact the Staff board or even message crow. or Lionne directly. general 01. Respect the photographer's rights to the photo they captured/created. It's illegal to use an image as your character's reference that you haven't gotten permission for or that isn't listed under a Creative Commons License. Tables/avatars/signatures/any gift art, if recycled from a forum which is not WTMS, please at least credit the creator as a courtesy. Any member found using copyrighted images without permission will be warned only once. Suspension and/or banning may result for repeat offenses. 02. Proboard's Terms of Service state that users must be 13+ to join the forum. If you are younger than 13 you can't join. 03. This forum is rated PG-13 for violence and cussing. Said violence and cussing is contained within the roleplay, and should never be directed to a fellow member or staff. Being rude or offensive can get you banned permanently. Within roleplay, don't drop the f-bomb every two words; let's try to keep things within reason, cursing doesn't make anything sound fancier. If things begin to get excessive, please let a staff member know and we will deal with it immediately. 04. We have a minimum word limit of 300 words. We all have bad days, and a post here or there beneath the limit is fine, but if you consistently post beneath the minimum further steps may be taken. If you don't know what else to add to your posts, or simply want some advice, please feel free to contact the staff and we'll give you some pointers. 05. Powerplaying, god modeling, metagaming, etc is not allowed within the roleplay on WTMS. First offenses are taken lightly, but repeat offenses can result in loss of posting privileges and, eventually, suspension or bans. 06. As WTMS lives and ages, rules might be tweaked or updated. Rules that have been updated will be listed behind a maroon number, like this 05., and the update will be maroon as well. Rules that have been added will be listed behind a light blue number like this, 06..
