SITE WIDE RULES 001;Respect the staff. Here on the site, their word is the law. Now, I'm not saying that you can't ask questions or anything. But if they tell you to do something, just do it. If you don't like what they're asking you to do, then do it anyway and tell me about it afterward and I'll deal with it.
002; Respect your fellow members. You wouldn't like it if people were being rude to you, so don't do it to them. If someone is being ride to you, please contact me with proof of the matter. I will not take copy and pasted message though, because those can be made up. A screen shot would be sufficient.
003; Don't spam. I really shouldn't have to add this as a rule, but so many people do it. If you don't know what 'spamming' is, it is when you post countless times about things that no one cares about. It is also when you repeatedly post in a thread by yourself.
004; There will be absolutely no fighting on this site. If you've got a problem with someone, take it up with them somewhere else. Wanna fight in the c-box? Think twice about it, if I see any fighting in the c-box the fighters will both be banned. No warnings issued.
005; ORAS, you may have as many as 6 characters. Just make sure that all of their information is correctly placed in the appropriate thread. Having a PC for each character is a Must, along with having a link to said PC boxes in your signature. If you prove that you can handle 6 characters, then we may bump up your character limit.
006; You must be thirteen years or older to roleplay on this site.
007; I do not mind constructive criticism, but there is a limit. Do not send me a PM every single day telling me that you have a fantastic idea about the site, because it goes from being constructive to being irritating as all hell.

001; Please, use correct grammar. It makes everything so much easier on everyone. Use the correct punctuation, and please use the spell check. There's even a button near the Post button for it! So use it.
002;Please don't use excessive fonts. Some people like to actually read the roleplay post rather that just stare at them in wonder.
003;Before clogging up the boards with a bunch of unused threads, look for one with the word [open] in the title. Also, if there is a thread with a person's name in brackets then that means that the thread is private, so don't post in it unless you are one of those people.
004; Before roleplaying for the first time you must make a biography. After you have made your first biography you have the option of merely entering them into the character roster. They have to have been posted in the character roster before you can roleplay them.
005; People with high positions must be active at least every other day. If you are not active, you will lose your position. Being active means posting at least every other day. Not just socializing in the c-box.
006; The word count limit on Oras is strictly 150 words. 150 hundred words WITHOUT a ton of grammar mistakes. Not writing the grammar right is just as bad as not writing the proper number. If you get caught posting under the word limit your thread may be locked until you make an honest to god attempt to fix it

Chat-Box Rules 001; As I said before, there is to be absolutely no fighting in the c-box. It will not tolerate it flaming at all.
002; No spamming or flooding the c-box. That's all I have to say on the matter.
003; Please, keep everything appropriate. Keep in mind that new members like to hang around in the c-box to see how our site is. So don't creep them out or anything.
004; Don't use chat speak. Please, for the love of god. I'll take that as spamming, to be completely honest with you. I'm not going to lower my IQ to try and understand what the hell it is that you're trying to say.

Graphics 001; Porn/inappropriate pictures will absolutely not be tolerated here on Oras. If any picture of the likes are to be found, you will be banned for life.
002; Don't stretch the forum, it makes our site look terrible. If I find any pictures that stretch the forum ,they will be deleted. If you continue to use them, there will be consequences.
003; The same thing goes for Tables, if you use them then make sure they don't stretch the boards.

Punishments 001; The warning. This is really nothing more than a dunce hat. Nothing is taken away from you. Depending on the severity of your offense, you'll get anywhere between 10% - 80 %. The warning is also a probation, if you have that staff members are going to be keeping a close eye on you.
002; 100 % warning bar. In the event that this happens then you're going to be banned from the forum for a few days.
003; The snarky PM. This means that you're going to get your ass chewed. This is usually coupled with a Warning. If you get one of these, it'd be best to not reply at all. To be completely honest with you, trying to defend yourself will likely get you in more trouble.
004; The Ban. If you continue to cause trouble for people, be it through being a jerk, a fighter, flamer or an instigator. A ban is a ban is a ban. It is final, and if you come back you'll be banned again. Getting banned from the site includes you getting banned from the c-box as well.
