--> Please respect all other members of the site. This means no petty or nasty arguments, foul language, spam or anything else deemed unnecessary or rude. If you have a problem with another user or even one of our staff members, please PM an appropriate member of staff and they will deal with the issue as best they can. This means: No Flamming, No Insulting, No Arguing, or anything of the sort. If you have problems with another member, contact a mod or an Administrator and we will work something out. Keeping the peace is one of the top priorities of this site, so cooperation with each other is a must. So be sure to avoid problem causing topics such as Politics. Sports is fine, but watch yourself. Failure to comply with this rule will result in warnings, followed by suspension and then a ban.
---> We ask you to please maintain a consistent high-standard of role-play on this site. Please try to keep spelling, grammar and punctuation as accurate as you can. This will help everyone understand and enjoy their roleplay with you and other members. Using a web-browser such as firefox, with an automatic spell-checker, is preferred for Role Players. The post limit, length wise, that is implemented on this site is as follows below, based on rank.
D - 50 word minimum (D rank mainly consists of Academy Students, those with poor RP skill who are still learning the ropes)
C - 100 word minimum (C rank mainly consists of C ranked missing ninjas and Genin, those who are progressing but not exactly good yet)
B - 250 word minimum (B rank mainly consists of B ranked missing ninjas or Chuunin, those have progressed past the rank of genin are considered to be good RPers)
A - 500 word minimum (A rank mainly consists of A ranked missing ninjas, jounin, or ANBU members; they are great RPers, who are better than good)
S - 700 word minimum (S rank mainly consists of S ranked missing ninjas, Elite Jounin, some ANBU, ANBU captains, or Kages; they are superb RPers, certainly almost the best)
---> Absolutely, positively NO arguing with a staff member's decision; if your a moderator, do not argue with an administrator - they have the right to make a decision unless it is just complete bullshit, then you may report them to the head-admin and get them banned. That sound fun? ^.^ Basically, respect all staff members decisions. If you don't agree with something a staff member has to say and it is something of great importance then PM someone who withholds a higher rank than them. Absolutely NO ARGUING WITH THEM. You'll be warned once for arguing, The second time you might get a warning and after that you won't like what will happen to you. You may, however, talk it out with a mod or an Admin if you disagree on something, but if they ask you to stop, stop.
---> Only members of staff may post on application threads (character, summon, clan etc.). If you are not a member of staff and you post on one such thread, your post will be deleted and you may receive a warning. Anything else that a Moderator would approve. Please, Don't do this. We pick staff members for a reason and if you weren't picked as one that means we either don't need you or we don't think that you're capable of doing a good job as a member of our staff. Either way, it isn't your place therefore don't do it. If you absolutely need to tell them what they've done wrong, PM them about it and it can be their choice whether or not they want to listen to you or wait for a Moderator or Admin to look it over. Disciplinary actions will vary depending on the seriousness of the infraction.
---> Please do not spam outside of the spam sub-forum. We will delete posts and issue warnings if you do not adhere to this rule. Spam gets annoying, no one likes it, and it makes the whole site look sloppy. If you do not know what spam is, it is basically a message that does not adhere to the topic, or is completely pointless and unnecessary. An example of this, would be if two people are fighting and out of nowhere, you post "((Bob is gonna win!)" If you do things like this, the post will be immediately deleted, and you will receive a warning, next time it's a temporary ban from the site. Another instance of spam is a constant posting of something, basically, if you post "I like pie" ten times consecutively or close to so, it's spam, this will get you temporary banned from the chatbox ON SIGHT. Spam out of the Spam area will not be tolerated. We want this forum to be as clean and organized as humanly possible therefore we don't want ANYONE to spam. If you do spam out side of the spam area you will probably only get one warning and after that we will take action, We don't want to have to ban people but trust me if we think you're going to downsize the forum we can and will IP ban you and you'll be gone for good. Just please keep this rule in mind before you make unnecessary posts.
---> This forum is PG-13. Adult content, foul language and anything else considered 'beyond' this age rating will be removed and can result in warnings, suspension or even an immediate ban. Take it elsewhere. This means that if you are someone who really likes to gore your topics up, then you have to either tone it down or just not join. This also means NO sex topics, either. Seriously. This is a Naruto RPG, not an adult chat room. Kissing, dates, hugs and all that other good stuff is allowed out in the open, but everything else needs either to be taken to the PMs or not done. Period. Something PG-13 rated would be kissing and mild-cussing as a maximum.
--> Rule Addition: If you are given specific permission by the head administrator and mark your topic as '[MA]', you may be allowed to have an 18+ topic.
---> Advertising your own site is permitted, but only in the 'Advertisement' forum. Read the rules in that section to find out more. Anyone caught advertising in the chatbox or elsewhere will be dealt with by a member of staff, we will absolutely NOT permit advertising outside said section. It drags away members and is very bad for publicity. We want this site to phlorish with members, not everyone running off to join the "newest funky Naruto RPG" you heard about in a PM from some guy with 0 posts and 40 PMs.
---> Please do NOT bug staff about checking your applications, pets, or items. We do have lives and we know when things are needed to be done, so Please don't bother us. I know personally that I hate to come on and see around 20 PM's asking me to check things, it's just completely annoying, because people should have a lot more patience than that. You may ask a single person once at a time, but after that you will get in trouble if you consecutively ask, after being warned. If your stuff hasn't been checked within 48 hours you may PM 1 Moderator. Please do not PM more than one. If that Moderator hasn't replied back to you or checked it within 24 hours please PM an Administrator and one of us will do it. In the Message please state which Moderator you first PM'd. That way we can check your stuff and we can check to see if the moderator's are actively working to approve new applications.
---> No Canon characters, whatsoever. All Marvel, DC, etc. superheroes died hundreds of years ago! This means that you can't be Superman, Wolverine, or Spiderman. If you try to make a cannon character you will be automatically denied and have to wait 24 hours before getting the chance to make a new character for approval. No references to Canon characters either, please. You may not be related to anyone from the actual show, not even hundreds of years ago - just be original with your history, please. Things get way too complicated, with fifty million of Spiderman's grandchildren, it'd get quite frustrating.
---> No Canon characters, whatsoever. The cannon series ended hundreds of years ago and a new age is here. This means that you can't be Orochimaru, Naruto, Itachi, or Sasuke. If you try to make a cannon character you will be automatically denied and have to wait 24 hours before getting the chance to make a new character for approval. No references to Canon characters either, please. You may not be related to anyone from the actual show, not even hundreds of years ago - just be original with your history, please. Things get way too complicated, with fifty million of Itachi's grandchildren, it'd get quite frustrating. But, if you don't know the name of there clan and you say something like "Itachi's Clan" then that's fine.
---> You may have a bijuu, but please only a maximum of two per village. The minimum rank for having a bijuu is A rank, so please do not request that your genin have the nine tailed fox.
---> Only a maximum of two live characters at a time may possess senjutsu techniques (sage/sennin mode jutsus), these both will have to be S or above, and must possess superb RP skill.
---> Human puppets are only available to ranks higher than A rank and the limit is 2 human puppets at a time, one added for every rank above A rank you are. (You must get the human puppets on your own, through RP ONLY.)
---> Puppet limitations; C = 2 puppets, B = 4 puppets, A = 6 puppets, S = 10 puppets, X = 18 puppets (If you have special permission from the head admin and you are over the rank of A, you may be able to have more puppets)
---> Keep cursing to a minimum, please. We understand that most of us are big kids now, but that doesn't mean you have to go around saying the" F" word every other sentence. It really makes you look like a jerk and you may also come off as uneducated.
---> Death matches can be done at all times, so you can die in any topic unless you have formed an agreement with the other person that the topic would be "no killing" in which case, must be stated in the topic for official confirmation.
-Ex. A Day of Fun -[Sean Only]-
Even if you don't care who joins, but you still don't want fighting, you can put that in the title as well and that will work.
-Ex. A Day of Fun -[Open, No Killing]-
If stuff like this isn't added to the title, it's an open ball game. The staff won't listen to your whining, so you should probably take this seriously.
---> Please don't get too full of yourself here. Nobody likes a egotistical boaster or a show off, so please don't let things start to go to your head. If you are constantly boasting, bragging, and just getting annoying without even being able to back it up: you will be punished.
---> Until informed otherwise, you may have only one character and one account only. People having more then one account can sometimes make things disorganized and our site doesn't have a lot of strength currently to be dealing with that. As far as other accounts go, Please don't. We are going to catch you and you're going to get banned. If you have a brother or sister or any other person that needs to make an account on your IP address then PM an Administrator first. Otherwise, you'll be notified and/or banned.
---> No Metagaming/Powerplaying/Godmodding, we all know what these are. If you have questions, ask an administrator.
---> Rouges may not attack any of the villages without permission from any of the administrators. It hurts the site when organizations attack while the village is really weak because it doesn't have a lot of members, which is why this rule is an important one to follow. If broken the topic(s) will either be voided or completely deleted and further disciplinary actions may be taken.
