[/font]Our Rules
_____________
[/center]
General Rules
- Be courteous This means that you are not disrespectful to staff and members of this site and guests. If there is a conflict we ask you discuss it calmy and maturely, and if not please take it to PM or let the admin settle the fued. Anyone that is caught disrespecting a member and or staff will be punished.
- Login once a week Our site is somewhat strict when it comes to activity, but most of the time we don't have activity checks. Random ones do happen though, and if you hadn't logged in for over a week, had not posted a leaving thread, nor did youcontact the admin, your account will be deleted. If you login once a week, you won't have to worry, though we still ask you post a leaving thread even if your unsure about a possible absence of the form.
- Be 13 or over It's in Proboards TOS when you sign up, but if you hadn't caught it, you must be Thirteen or over to sign up at any proboards site. We are leanient if your birthday is close. Parental Consent is also fine, as long as Proboards knows before us. We wouldn't want our beautiful forum deleted because a 9 year old tried to RP a donkey, now would we?
- Follow TOS This is very important. If you don't follow TOS ( terms of service ) of Proboards your risking our entire forum danger ! If we catch you disobeying TOS you will be deleted off our forum.
- Keep it PG-13 Please know that our forum is G - PG-13. So please keep all OOC and IC posts PG-13 or lower. If there is even somewhat hinting at sexual content please put [M] in the thread title. Do not go into detail about breeding. Nobody wants to read that !
- Three numbers in name maximum We hate names like reconsider1234589 ! Seriously ! Think up a unique name, or for our sake, narrow it down to three numbers. No random letters either.
- One account per user You are only allowed one account per user. We do not want a whole bunch of logins that are the same person ! Coding purposes are the only exception, and thats for STAFF ONLY.
- No shared accounts Please do not share an account with anyone whether real life or online. This can get confusing and signing up only takes a minute !
Role Playing Rules
- All IC posts must be blockquoted All posts that you roleplay in must be [*blockquote] [*/blockquote]. ( Without apostrophes. ) Any user that repeatidly does not use this in their posts will be warned.
- Size one through three only Your roleplaying posts should only have fonts size one through three. This does not include posting tables, decoration, ect.
- Follow the plot Okay this is an obvious one. Do not start roleplaying about humans and horses ! It would get really confusing, seeing as how there are no humans or horses.. O.o You get the point.
- Limited Wolfspeak We understand this is a huge literate/non literate debate. But we hope that this is fair on both sides. We do not ban all wolfspeak, but we do not allow all either. The following are allowed, any that are not mentioned should not be used.
- Orbs ( eyes )
- Maw ( mouth, muzzle )
- Fea ( female canine )
- Brute ( husky male/ male canine )
- Banner ( Tail; try not to use as often ) - No God modding or Power playing God modding means your character is flawless/ better / unbeatable. Power playing is when you act out another person's character, whether action, emotion, thought. Neither is allowed and is strongly looked down on for.
- Realistic fighting only Alright, anyone can fight anyone but please be realistic about it. No teacup chihuahua is going to kill a pure bred wolf. Unless the wolf is practically dead, and the chihuahua has easy access to the jugular.. well yes you understand where Im going with this. Be realistic. Please.
- All threads involving fights should have the following All threads involving any type of fighting should have [FIGHT] , [F] , or [SN]. SN stands for staff needed because only staff can judge the winner of a fight, though the better RPer usually wins if has a good strategy. All fighting must be agreed upon before started.
- Gang fighting allowed Again, anyone can fight anyone meaning five canines can gang up on one. It's survival of the fittest, lifes not fair. All members must agree to it before RPing it out.
- One week loss If you do not reply to a fight thread in a week or loner you automatically lose; if they were fighting for something you automatically lose it.
- No graphic breeding Again, keep it PG-13, and if it includes thoughts, emotions, and especially actions, you must put [M] in the thread title.
- All mates agree If you are planning on breeding all those involved must agree to it. Member of father gets first pick of the puppies.
- No sibling/ your character breedings This one explains itself, no siblings can breed, meaning they must have NO blood relations. Your own characters can NOT breed.
- No fowl mouths Okay, we allow cussing but keep it to a minmum. This is disturbing, and can be hurtful. If you are caught with 10+ cusswords, that are negative/offensive toward a member/staff you will be warned and possibly banned.
- Posting requirment minumum We know everyone has a bad day now and then but keep all IC posts at least 250 words. If you can't do 250, you aren't museful enough to RPing.
- Requirements We require you to follow this and everything in general rules. We require mating, birthing, and fights to be based on how we stated and nothing else.
Graphic Rules

- Only use your graphics Only use graphics you made or graphics made for you. Stealing is looked down upon and you will get banned temporarily if caught doing so.
- Six graphic requests maximum This is per day, and if the studio's owner specified otherwise feel free to request more. Just don't overload them with work !
