Rules

Hello, honored guest/member, and welcome to follow your dreams, a Once Upon a time AU RP set in today's age. As always on any respectable forum, there must be rules, and it seems that you've found them! Congrats. Make sure to pay attention, because the special code word is hidden in plain sight within their contents. ooc. OOC, for those of you who don't know, stands for Out of Character. On many sites, most of the comedy and such happens within the OOC section, but there's also the parts of an IC (in-character) post where people like to herp-a-derp around and say fun things. Here are a few limitations, though. For one, no sexually explicit images, text, or links are allowed on the board, as this may result in FYD being shut down for good. Another thing to consider is that there is no excessive swearing anywhere at all. Sure, the occasional "damn" is acceptable, but don't use the big Fs and Ss. People will turn away from the site if that happens. Once accepted make sure you display name is FIRST MIDDLE LAST. Graphics You must have an avatar and Gif. Signatures are optional pp & gm. Ah, powerplay and god-modding. The two go hand in hand, do they not? Powerplaying is acting as if you control the other person's puppet. Which you don't. For example: "Bob held Jane's hand and pulled her away while she laughed and danced around like a clown." See what's wrong? The one controlling Bob could not also control Jane at the same time. It's just not right. For all we know, Jane could have pulled out a gun and shot his face off. But we don't, since Bob's puppeteer decided that it was okay to control Jane. Any reports of powerplaying will be investigated, and you will be punished accordingly. God-modding is a tad bit different. Let's say that Jane did pull out a shotgun. "Jane pulled a gun out of it's holster, and Bob tried to punch her, but his hand broke the instant it touched her." Who sees the problem? Yes, you, sitting in front of your computer with your hand on your cheek. That's right! She acted as if she was invincible, and poor Bob never had a chance. You are not God. I am God. You are a puny mortal (bwahahaha). The code word is "puppies are cute." End of story. No puppet is allowed to be unkillable. role-play. We here at FYD have a word minimum of 150 words per IC post, though more is waaaaaay better. IC posts are allowed to be in first-person or third-person, and all are meant to be in past-tense (meaning no "Bob pokes Jane." It should be "Bob poked Jane.") Also, don't make a ton of spelling or grammar mistakes, because we are a literate site, and we dnt wnt ppl 2 tlk lik dis. It's annoying, and if you want to do that, do it somewhere else. We do not like people who do that kind of thing. pm. There's always been a huge conflict with PMs. No, not pre-menstrual syndrome, Personal Messages. As is obvious, there is no sexually explicit/offensive/unsafe images in PMs, blah blah blah. But there's also no advertisement via PM. Unless the person in question actually requests a link to a site, you are not to send advertisements through PM. If you really want to advertise, there's an app board for that. So do it there. Please note that any violation of the PM rules will result in your PM privileges being revoked. tolerance & flaming. As you should have already guessed by now, we have a very strict rule on intolerance and general rudeness. In essentials, you will not ridicule your fellow members by the color of their skin, sexuality, lifestyle, or otherwise. Violation of that rule will result in immediate and (if necessary) permanent termination of your account. On the subject, rudeness towards Staff, members, guests, or any other member of our society will not be tolerated, and will result in termination of your account. staff. You really have to love the Staff, correct? Well, think about this; they have jobs to do, and any impediment on how well they can perform that task depends on how the members act. Don't disrespect the Staff at all. I don't care if they killed your goldfish. Don't. Do. It. Keep your personal issues out of here. On a separate note, do not expect to just come here and immediately become a Staff member. Be patient. There's a chance that I'll recruit you myself if I see that you're active in the community. So follow all of the rules, and you may be rewarded. If you're not rewarded, oh well! It gives you a higher social status in my mind, and in the minds of other members.
