The Rules
Out of Character
Respect Others
Please be respectful to everyone whither it be staff , members or guest. Cyber bullying is a type of discrimination and will not be tolerated. If someone is upsetting you, please contact an admin so we can help.
Listen to Staff
Staff are here to keep the site up and running so you can use it. They know what they are doing but if they don’t then they should contact myself (Raven) for help. Please if they tell you to do something just do it and if you disagree with them please contact me (Raven).
Keep it PG-13
We do not want this site to be deleted so please keep what you add to the site child friendly. This means nothing super mature.
Keep Swear To A Mimumum
Please remember that this site needs to be child friendly but some words are acceptable but can also be arguable whither they are acceptable for children. There is a feature on proboards that automatically changes swear words but some words aren’t upon that list so just be careful.
Keep Us In The Loop
Before you go on vacation please let us no in Hellos & Goodbyes! that way you are not marked inactive or even have your account deleted. It would be a terrible thing to come back from vacation, try to log on and see your account has been deleted.
Claws
Claws equal our sites currency and when you join you get an automatic 100 claws-- also each post you gain 5 claws. Our money allows you to buy things from our shop or even give them to another member. If you break rules claws will be taken away, however if you keep breaking rules you will be banned. Also if you do something helpful to the site like help a guest/new member or another good deed (I.e.- advertising) you will gain claws. Please spend your claws wisely because there are no refunds.
In Character
Characters
Please check in characters bans while making a character. Also you may have one high position in every tribe but they must differ (I.e. you can not have a leader in both tribes). As for a how many characters you can have as many as you can handle. However please while making a character make them as realistic as possible, no black cat with purple spots and red eyes.
Upon Accepted
Once your character has been accepted your character will be posted in Taken Names but if you don’t see your characters name within a day of acceptance please post your characters name in Taken Names. This makes sure your character will be the only one with that name, this applies to every character.
Post Length
There is no minimum requirement-- but this does not mean your post should be effortless. It gets boring and hard to reply to short messages. If we as staff continually see people with effortless post we will add a requirement.
Liquid Time
Liquid time means that your character dose not have to be in one thread at a time. Although I wouldn’t recommend having your cat flirt with a bunch of cats in every thread.
No Power playing
This is not at all acceptable. For those who don’t know what power playing is-- power playing is when you take control of another plays character without their permission. Nobody likes having their character controlled by someone else.
Example of Power Playing:
Spirit of Dark Hearts launched herself towards Salmon of Rippled Pounds with unsheathed claws. Smoothly Spirit sank her long hooked claws into Salmon’s flank causing Salmon to squeal and squirm in pain.
Example Without Power Playing:
Spirit of Dark Hearts launched herself towards Salmon of Rippled Pounds with unsheathed claws. (See this allows Salmon’s role player to control with Salmon can do.)
No Invincible Cat
This is a simple rule to follow-- the only time an invincible cat is allowed is when they are apart of a plot and have been approved by me. Also to avoid this problem your character must be hurt in battle and occasionally get sick.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES COULD RESULT IN BEING BANNED. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
