Rules
Out of character:
1. Be nice. I shouldn't have to say this, but please treat others the way you want to be treated? It's a pretty easy thing to do. 2. If you have problems with another member, by all means, come to me or another staff member about it, but please don't fight with them in the chat box or on the boards! It makes the site look unprofessional. 3. Don't discriminate on the basis of gender, race, or sexual orientation. Everyone is cool here. 4. Swear words are fine seeing as everyone here should be at least thirtteen, but my rule is that you cannot use them in anger at someone else. Ok: 'God, math homework's a bitch.' Not Ok: 'God, *insert member here* is a bitch.' 5. Do not spam my site. I don't want to see it in the chat box and I don't want to see it on the boards. No flooding or advertising period. 6. Respect all staff members and other members. That is just common sense. We are a friendly community here and I don't want that to change. 7. I have seen sites destroyed by drama so please, keep it to the inboxes. If you have a history with another member don't battle it out where everyone can see it.
Characters:
1. Please don't modify the character form, I'm a bit anal about keeping things orderly. Do us all a favor and don't freak out my OCD. 2. Be descriptive. Really expose your character. I want you to be explicit about there personality, their appearance, their history. If I see any 'She doesn't speak of her history.' then I promise you there will be blood. 3. Make your characters original, for the love of god. There has never been, and will never be, a snow white husky with bright blue eyes who is loving and kind but if you make her mad watch out. Sorry, life doesn't work like that. 4. Don't bother the staff about accepting your character, just let us know that it is finished ONE TIME and one of us will get to it asap. 5. If you aren't accepted right away, don't freak. Nobody will be denied, but sometimes we would like you to fix a couple of things before we let you through. It's nothing personal, we just want your character to be as good as it can be. 6. You can have as many characters as you would like but if I notice that you aren't using them all than I reserve the right to ask you to drop one or put one on hiatus for a bit. 7. This is a DOG site. No wolves, no foxes, no jackals, dogs. Under very special circumstances I may allow a wolf-dog mix but I don't want to see a lot of them.
Posting:
1. There is no set word count because I find it is often difficult to work with constraints but that does not mean that one liners or anything under fifty words is acceptable. I really want you to put effort into your posts. If you really aren't feeling up to posting or don't have time to post than I'd rather you wait until you can give it your all than post something that you know isn't good. 2. I have no problem with roleplaying mature stuff like breeding and birthing but unfortunately that's a direct violation of the TOS. Sorry, I love Starstruck too much to risk it. Just fade to black, please. 3. Don't powerplay. Powerplaying is when you control another member's character. It is not tolerated here. 4. Godmodding is equally frowned upon. In battles your character cannot dodge every blow. Sorry. 5. You cannot kill/wound/mate with another character without receiving permission from the roleplayer. 6. Don't take in character drama out of character. Simple enough. 7. Unless one of the members of the thread has gone inactive or has given you permission to go ahead, please stick to the posting order, it makes everything much simpler.
Advertising: 1. No advertising in the chatbox. I am alright if you want to link to your site in your name but nothing more. 2. If someone has already advertised your forum on Star Struck do not repost the advertisement! 3. Keep the advertisements to the board marked 'Advertise!' no where else on the boards is advertising condoned.
Above all, have fun. Roleplaying is a great outlet for expression and you can meet some awesome people. Stick to the rules and we should all have a great time!
Cheers, Valentine
