welcome to THE HARD PART. first off, thank you for reading these, because they're important. we know how much of a hassle they can be, so we're going to try and keep them short... emphasis on the "try" most probably!
REGISTRATION: make sure you're username is memorable, since we can't change it for you. this isn't invisionfree so you're stuck with whatever username you sign up with. you can sign up with any name you want, we ask that you don't change your display name. this is so that the admins here can make sure we've changed your name and member group when we accept you. believe us, it's just easier.
FACE CLAIMS: we ask that you use actual celebrities/well known people. that means we don't want to see anime characters/close friend/anything like that. we also ask you respect the wishes of celebrities who do not want their faces used as face claims (a list can be found here.) another quick note on face claims, if their actual age is thirty something, please don't try to pass them off as a teenager. if this happens, don't be surprised when we ask you to change your application.
APPLICATIONS: you have seven days to complete your application. if your application isn't done by then, it will be denied. face claim's last three days, but you can reclaim your face after the time runs out if you need to. the code for the application looks a little scary at first, but if you only edit the things you need to then it's not so bad. please note, you need to remove the stars, otherwise it won't look right! when submitting your application, please use the following format for the thread title: LAST NAME, first name middle name. (e.g. POTTER, lily luna)
GRAPHICS: we don't want them stretching the boards, so we have size guides in place here. avatars should be no bigger than 150x200, and signatures should be no larger than 500x500. if you can't make graphics, then don't be afraid to ask someone on the site. we've got some talented members here! there's a graphics board on here where you can do that. another option is using some premade graphics from CAUTION 2.0, but you're going to need an account with them to access the graphics.
ACTIVITY: activity is a must on this site. we will hold activity checks every so often. sometimes you'll be emailed about them, but other times you won't so be aware! we ask that you sign on as all of your characters when you can. if you're going to be going away for more than a couple of days, please let us know in the absence board.
ROLE PLAYING: we ask that your posts are at least 300 words. that's not a lot, we promise. of course, you can exceed this by however much you want... we don't have a maximum limit. mature threads are not allowed. please make sure your posts are in third person, and try not to god-mod. minor god-modding (of minor characters) is okay, but don't dictate what the other person is doing if they haven't done it yet. please don't bug other members to reply to your post, because it's annoying and will probably result in the other member not posting.
ABILITIES: obviously there are some restrictions on abilities. will add to this when we can think of more ;D
