Hey there Roleplayers!

It's time to help the RP forum by laying out a few guidelines for threads here.

Any thread that does not fit the guidelines will be removed for being Off Topic and an infraction can be given to the poster. This will help remove the general chattering and allow you all to really showcase your skills.

NOTE: Please post all of your OOC in the OOC sub-forum. RPers are allowed to post a list of short bios/character list at the top of a new RP - the person organizing the RP should be in charge of that - anything beyond that will be considered OOC and be cause for the thread to be moved to the correct forum.

Purpose:
Threads should have a purpose. Whether this is a scenario you have carefully designed, or just an awesome get together, your threads should give people a reason to role play. It doesn't need to be super elaborate or wordy, but your opening post should detail who you are and what is going on.

This means that any thread that related to what YOU are doing will be removed. Threads like "so and so sits down", "I did this today", as well as "[your username here] walks into Meez" will be deleted.

The main purpose is to HAVE FUN! But if it's just random chit chat then you can do that in another forum.

Effort:
Put time into your new roleplays. One liner's do not shape a roleplay. Many times the Title of the thread depicts what the thread is about but when you go inside there is very little direction. Take a moment to think about what you want to happen in your thread and help it reach that goal.

Respect:
Respect the thread's creator. If the creator asks you to leave their role play, please do so. Sticking around and running amok will get your account in trouble. If a thread creator makes rules for their role play please follow them.

OOC:
You will be getting an Out of Character subforum soon. This forum should be used for threads related to your role playing. Character sheets and any other documentation for your role plays can go there. If you are looking for role play buddies you can also post your thread concepts in there.

Thanks to Peny Meez for helping me to put together this sticky.
