(1) Plagiarism/thievery is not tolerated.
This includes copy and pasting wording without a direct source from engines such as Google, or stealing/using artwork that does not belong to you.
(2) Sexual themes are not to be roleplayed.
They aren't allowed to be carried to PM, either; the site is PG-13, but these types of things are not allowed. If you want characters to mate, please skip the scene entirely or simply "fade in/fade out". Asking for sexual roleplay via thread/PM also falls under this category, as well as linking to pornographic material.
(3) Rudeness, passive aggression and baiting/guilt-tripping is not allowed.
Respect others like how you want to be treated, do not say harmful things to anyone in any condition. If you have a problem with another person, then staff may intervene; passive aggression will not be tolerated, nor will guilt tripping. Guilt tripping would be something like "Oh, I really wanted to have that kitten in your litter.. but I guess better luck next time.. I worked really hard.
" Or something like that.
(4) Don't mini-mod.
Self explanatory, if you've got a problem then please report it and staff will be on it right away. Mini-modding is when you attempt to step in to do a moderator+'s job, and sometimes it can be rude as well.
(5) No spamming/"trolling"
Spamming is repetitively posting in one thread in a substantial amount (3 posts). Trolling is a term most people know, which is when you deliberately try to cause harm in some way-- hard to explain.
(6) No Godmodding or powerplaying.
'Godmodding' is when your characters are the best at everything (ex: extreme strength). Powerplaying is when you automatically injure someone else's character (ex: Diablo bit Luego's face.). You may not kill nor injure another player's character without permission and without "aiming" to attack.
(7) Be realistic.
Large weapons, powers, etc. are not allowed; powers may be added in the future, but for now animals cannot wield weapons such as large swords. Tiny daggers can be used, but not with the paws since they do not have opposable thumbs. Accessories and odd fur coloration is allowed, however; along with hair and such. Wings, horns and double-tails are not allowed, however, unless it is scientifically proven in real life.
