RPG Rules & Regulations (All user Check IN pg 3)

Post by Bordersinsanity »

Roswell Fanatics is a FAN-FICTION board - We do not allow the posting of any original works. Nor do we allow the posting of works about real people (e.g. actor fics) All fics must be written in the English language.

Click on the link below to read the rules for that section:
GENERAL RULES
SPAMMING
PLAGIARISM
ANTI-HARASSMENT POLICY
PRUNING
EXCESSIVE BUMPING
THREE STRIKES RULE
SUSPENSION/BANNING
HOLDING A FAN FICTION HOSTAGE
SEPARATE FORUMS FOR FAN FICTION
THREAD TITLES
FIRST PAGE OF YOUR FANFICTION: HEADER
RATINGS
IMAGES
ABBREVIATIONS

As stated almost a year ago:
Mature/Adult RPG's ~ Who's allowed to play & Who's NOT
  • MATURE - (formerly R) Suitable for mature readers. Contains some adult content. The fiction may contain strong language, heavy violence, or some heavier sexual content.
  • ADULT - (formerly NC-17) Absolutely for adults only. Likely contains extreme violence, strong language and/or explicit sexual content.
<center>~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~</center>

Under NO circumstances can anyone under the age of 17 participate in either one of these. NO if's, and's or buts...

If anyone is aware of a thread that has an underage player please notify either Kath7, Angel, Kzinti_Killer or myself.


Now that all of you have been refreshed... I'm requiring that all MATURE and ADULT RPG's have the following:


Under NO circumstances can anyone under the age of 17 read or participate in this RPG. NO if's, and's or buts...

Code: Select all

[size=16][color=red]
Under NO circumstances can anyone under the age of 17 read or participate in this RPG.  NO if's, and's or buts... [/color][/size]
The above must be the first thing on the thread follow by the rest of the required information. If you know of anyone that is underage and is still participating on a MATURE or ADULT RPG report them at once!

<center>~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~</center>

CHARACTER MOVEMENT:
Common Courtesy... If you're using a character that's not yours in your post you HAVE to forward your post to that character's owner to make sure that that character's movements is within their character.

For example:

Max:
I was just wandering the streets trying to find something to do when I saw Liz running naked into the bookstore.



Now we all know that this is way out of character for Liz on the show. However, it may not be out of character for a Liz playing in another RPG. We can't assume to know how another character is going to act. Therefore, we must allow the owner of that character to say yes, that's fine or no, that's just not cool.

It is fine to have Liz running naked into the bookstore if it has already been stated during the RPG

IMAGES USED IN RPGS
  • Banner art for RPG's should follow the same rules as the FANFIC COVER ART
  • All images used for BIO's should be no larger than 300 x 300 in size. This is because the BIO's usually contain 8 or more images within one post.
  • If it's bigger than that size, you can just post a link.

    ex. click here

F/F = Used for Female/Female Slash fics. (Typically, the word "Slash" will accompany it.)

I'd seen these rules go up for fics, but I hadn't realized they'd applied to RPs until you posted about it here. Once all the existing RPs are sorted, I'm sure it will be easy to continue in the future. :)

Just one thing 'though. The wording of the first rule just seems ... off. I dunno. It says,

"We do not allow the posting of any original works."

That seems backwards to me. I understand what you mean, but basically, everything I write here is original by me. Shouldn't it say something more like -- "We only allow the posting of your own original works. Unacknowledged Posting of works by others in whole or in part is not allowed." ????

Just wondering... :?
Thanks for the support and your help with updating a lot of the RPG's. You're probably right about that verbage. I just copied and pasted it from the regular rules. What that statement means is that we don't allow anything that isn't associated with some fandom in one way or another. I'll take your suggestion to the other mods to see what they think about changing that statement.

Once again, thanks for helping out with your RPG threads and making sure that they have the minimum required pieces.

thanks
Jen

It was getting kind of crowded in the forum with all the stickies and all so I've added this to this thread. All new users that want to participate in Mature/Adult RPG's please sign in here so I can add your name to the second post on this thread.

thanks for all your help

Hey guys!

Sorry it took so long to update this list. I didn't know that no one was checking you in. I'm going to need to investigate and see what's going on.

In future, if you have to wait more then a week for something like this, please pm me or Kzinti_killer so that we can look into it.
