Rules of the Forum and Code of Conduct

1. Be Respectful - Treat every one fairly, and just be pleasant. ^^

2. No religious or political discussions. It just invites drama, so please refrain.

3. Only one account per user. This is to prevent drama, number inflation, and people lying. PM the members director if you want your name changed. If you have created more than one account, a ban may be given.

4. Username Requirements
- No "names" within any universe can be used. This means any canon name in a tv show, movie, anime, etc.

Exceptions
Adjective relating to a canon character. Ex: vampire, detective, sailor, etc. If you have any questions regarding usernames PM the members director or me.

- Username changes are limited to two occasions only, with a 4 month time period in between. If you want to change your username please contact the members director via PM stating why and the desired new name.

5. Avatar Requirements
- Max. image size for avatars are 110px by 170px.
- Must conform to a PG-17 rating.
- Please note that in all changes, a 2 week wait period occurs after every change.

Founder's note:
The reason we limit avatar changes is the same reason we limit username changes. It's a member's face on here. Sometimes it can be confusing if a member changes their avatar too often.

6. Signature Requirements
- One image 450 x 150 pixels. As well as two 100 x 100 pixel sized images on either side.
- Signatures can be changed as much as you like as long as it conforms with a PG-17 rating.


7. Grounds for Punishment
If you are consistently rude to your fellow members or any of the Admin, or do not respond to a PM when kindly asked to fix your signature or avatar, you will receive a ban in posting in the rest of the forums other than the Rules and Information. Once you have complied your rank permissions will be fixed and you will revert back to your previous rank.
