These are the Site Rules, do not break them (or any others for that matter), you could be banned if you do!
Don'ts!
Do not use bad words. This is an all-age-friendly forum and I don't want to see any cussing. If you do cuss and someone asks you not to, then stop. Words that are a-ok with me are: "crud," "dang," "shoot," "poop," etc. If you must cuss, and you know how to cuss in another language, then you won't be banged on if you do that b/c no one will no what you're saying. Although calling someone a swear name in any language is not ok.
Do not be graphic when you are RPing (Role Playing). Just don't make it really gross and stuff, we try to keep it rated PG here .
Do not use chatspeak when you RP, it's tacky. Try to do your best to post long and descriptive posts with correct grammar. For correct spelling you can simply use spell check. If you have weird grammar and weird spelling, no one will know what you said. Chatspeak includes calling a cat by only the first half of their name, saying meddie or med cat, or dep, etc.
Do not have your character be in more than one thread at a time. It's impossible to be in two places at once, and although the Warriors Series is fictional, it's not fantasy. Only Leaders are allowed in two places at once if they are having their lives ceremony at the time so they can be in camp and be at Highstones. Meddies (Medicine Cats) as well can be in two places at once when they are in their den. Lots of healing threads get piled up, and I want ou guys to not have to sit there all the time and have the meddies running around like chickens with their heads cut off, lol.Do not powerplay or godmodd. What's powerplaying and godmodding you say? Powerplaying is when you play the other person's character, in a way. Godmodding is when you have your charri be basically indestructible. This happens in wars and such mostly, so be careful, your charri needs to have weaknesses and lose sometimes. [For more information on powerplaying and godmodding go to the Terminology thread in the Bio and RP School board]
Oh, and I almost forgot one of the very important rules of the internet:Do not take images without permission. Myself and the people who make images for/on this site work our butts off and get very very mad if you take stuff without our consent! I'm sure we'd be happy to make you an image of your own if you ask.
Do not go around starting fights in the cbox. If you fight even once in the cbox, you will be banned from the site for a few days, it depends on the intensity of the fight.
Dos!
Do tell a Leader or Ravenshadow(Me) if you are going to trade accounts with someone, and make sure that it's okayed with them. You cannot trade mods, unless it is a meddie, but you still need consent from a Leader or admin.
Do stay active! It's a pain in the butt for me to go through all the members to see if they're active and then have to email them all and tell them to get active or I'll delete them (this is what I call member maintenance)! So please be responsible for your character and the thread they are in, other people are counting on you to post as well. One month without posting is considered inactive. If you're going away post in the away board and I won't get on your case about you not being there. For mods it's two weeks.
Do make a separate account for each character. You can make 5 accounts, but after that you have to have permission from a Leader or myself. The max amount of accounts you can have is 8.
Do say where you're going at the end of a thread. Do something like "To-RiverClan Camp" or if you know the specific thread, then put that in there.
Do make cats for your character. This is a warriors forum, therefore it revolves around the main character in the warriors series: catsDo RP in thrid person. Meaning RP as if you are watching the cat and you are explaining it's actions. Bio is short for biography, and a biography is when you're telling a story about someone else, so no first person, or second for that matter, but it's kind of impossible to RP in second person
A few other things you need to know
If you haven't RPed before you must apply as an apprentice, if you haven't RPed and want to be a rogue, kittypet, or loner, then you need to make a second account that is an apprentice. If you don't want to make an apprentice account then you can PM me and tell me you need an RP mentor. Your RP mentor will basically RP with you in the "Bio and RP School" board in the "RP Training" sub-board. You can RP back and forth with your mentor but you will not keep the charri you are using to RP with and not make a bio or account for it. You will not be allowed to RP a warrior or a higher rank until you have "graduated" RP School (it shouldn't take that long), however you can RP a kit. In some cases even if you are not new to RPing you might have to be an apprentice for a bit because your RP skills need a little mentoring.
Don't like how long the page is? I have a code that makes it so when you click on the category title, the whole category will minimize so that the page will be shorter. To maximize it, click the title again.
Our site gatherings alternate. Every-other full moon is a clan gathering, and the ones inbetween are medicine cat gatherings
What to do next
Go to the bottom of the warrior code and highlight it there will be your code words!
