Thread: OPEN ROLEPLAY RULES (updated 9/12/17) -- READ FIRST

OPEN ROLEPLAY RULES First and foremost, the General Site Rules apply to this RP subforum as they do everywhere on this site. There will be no exceptions here. That said, the following rules and guidelines also apply 01 YOU MUST HAVE AT LEAST THREE 3 PEOPLE ON BOARD TO START AN OPEN ROLEPLAY. The Creator and 2 other members. 02 All threads created within these sub-forums MUST use the same name in their titles. 03 Please place all character profile threads in Character Profiles Section. All Characters MUST have their name and age listed somewhere on the character profile, at minimum. 04 Advertisement for any RP in this subforum belongs in the Interest Coordination section. Unlike other sections, invites are NOT required to join in Open Roleplays. See one you like? Make a character and hop right in! The Open Roleplay Interest Coordination section does NOT follow the 1x1 bumping policy rules. Just use common sense and don't go crazy bumping it all day long. 05 Any discussion pertinent to the RPs in this subforum belongs in Open Roleplay OOC Chatter . Please keep non-RP related chatter to a minimum, too much will result in staff intervention. You're allowed ONE OOC Chatter thread, but unlike the other threads, having one of these is NOT a requirement. If more than one is found, they will be merged without warning. 06 Don't be an asshole! No flaming or god-modding is allowed anywhere within this subforum. Also, spamming any thread is a definite no. Doing so will first result in a verbal warning. If the warning is ignored or behavior persists, harsher consequences will follow. If any disputes occur, please try to quietly resolve them away from the boards. If you are unable to do so, please report the problem to a Sectional Mod Dark Pink, Global Mod Green, or Administrator Red. They will do what they can to help you remedy the situation. 07 RPs that have no activity for more than 3 months will be deemed inactive and thus closed down. For these to be taken out of 'inactivity' for a rebootrevamp, the ORIGINAL CREATOR must contact a Sectional Mod. Otherwise, a new subforum will be made in its place if it is deemed needed by meeting the standard requirements. If your Open Roleplay is going to be a mega slow one, but still be active, include SLOW POSTS in the title and it will not be closed down until 1 year of inactivity has passed. Do not abuse this. 08 For Open Roleplays requiring multiple threads at least 3 or more threads or larger groups at least 8 or more people, a Child Forum may be requested. Please discuss this with a Sectional Mod to determine if such a thing is truly needed. If deemed appropriate, an admin will create the Child Forum, and assign a GM to it. Please Note A GM is NOT a mod. They merely runorganize the larger group RP. Think of them as the Open Roleplay creator, nothing more. All interestcoordination, profile and OOC threads will be moved along with the RP into the Child Forum. Required Sub-Forums InterestCoordination Subforum - Advertise your idea here, though don't turn it into a chatter-fest. Character Profiles Subforum - Place profiles for your RP here. Optional, But Strongly Suggested Sub-Forums Open Roleplay OOC Chatter Subforum - Place your OOC threads for your RP here. This is a handy place to talk about your RP. Communication helps tremendously to build a successful and healthy multi-partner story. If you have any questions about anything, please PM a Sectional Mod Dark Pink, Global Mod Green, or Administrator Red and they will do their best to help you. Thank you. Be sure to check back often as this thread will be updated as needed. Last updated by Rauk on September 12, 2017.
