RULES « Thread Started on Oct 5, 2008, 9:36pm »
First, we would like to welcome you to WHAT VEXES ALL MEN. We greatly appreciate the time you took to stop by and check us out. If you are looking for a great original Pirates of the Caribbean forum to join, we hope that this forum is the forum for you. We take both original characters and all canons. If you do have interest in this site, please take time to read over the rules before you proceed to join. Make sure you read all the rules in order to find the hidden words that you need to put on your application!
Hoping your day is magical,
~The Staff
GENERAL;
TOS; All members have to abide by the proboards TOS. If you aren't familiar with it, go to the proboards site and read it over. All members must be 13 years or older to join.
RESPECT; All members here must be treated with the utmost of respect, especially the staff members of WVAM. The staff here hold power over those in lower ranking than them and can dish out consequences. Overall, there shouldn't be an fighting, flaming, or sending nasty PM's to each other. I, the admin, have various ways of finding out things and I won't hesitate to step in. This place is for fun!
STAFF; Please don't ask to be apart of the team here. Those we already have appointed to staff will always be on the look out for future staff members and will select those whom we think will benefit out team.
LANGUAGE; Cursing is allowed...after all, there are pirates here. The only rules I have on language is that if you choose to swear excessively, you either give a warning in the thread title, or simple resort to posting in the mature area.
THEMES; All kinds of themes are welcome here. Adventure, drama, violence, romance etc... However, if you would like to post maturely, please resort to the mature area. The mature area is a password protected category. PM the admin for the password and then keep it to yourself.
ROLE PLAYING;
CANONS; If you intend to play a canon character, or a character that appears in the movie, please do your best to become that character. The first part of the secret word is treasure. If you are playing Beckett, keep his vocabulary complicated and proper. Beckett wouldn't say 'Hey wazzuup Brokeback!?' would he? NO. Also, if playing a canon, make sure you can post well.
ACTIVITY; We do expect everyone to stay active. Everyone hates when someone joins a forum, posts their application, then never posts again. There will be activity checks, sometimes when you least expect them. Make sure that if you play a CANON that you are active. If not we will take the canon from you.
POSTING; While we are pretty free-for-all here in terms of posting length, there is a set minimum. You may not post any shorter than 250 words. We understand that writers block happens but, it is possible to come up with something. Also, we posting, make sure to keep it in the third person.
Don't know what the 'third person' is? Here is an example;
' Wendy walked through the Neverwood with her head held high. The ground beneath her feet was soft and easy to walk on. She had a smile on her face as the Neverwood sprites flew about her. Looking up with, Wendy admired the small beings.
"My, you are all beauties." '
ORIGINALS; If you are going to create an original character, please do so. Of course, there may be girls, but we want boys too. Also, please no Mary-Sues or Gary-Stu's. Please refer to google if you don't know what they are. Original characters do not know the canon characters. They must be introduced to them through and open role playing post.
GIRLS; Just a note on female characters, lets not make everyone in love with Jack or Will. No fighting with other members over who Will belongs to. No PMing the character your original claims is theirs and complaining to them either. If it does happen, I will be notified and consequences will ensue. Also, there is a set limit. Please go to the current set limits thread for more information.
GRAPHICS; The limit when it comes to signatures is 500x300. THEY MAY BE NO LARGER. I will take your signature down if it breaches. The second part of the word is hunt. No anime, cartoon, porn crap in the signatures. They must be either a real celebrity or a model.
FACE CLAIMS; Everyone is required to have one. Its not a hard thing, you can even use random models even if you don't know their name. We just want everyone to have a face to put with the character.
Well, there are the rules for you all. Please abide by them and we will all have a splendid time together!
