1. Child's play and Suicide
If you get in a fight with someone while not in character, don't carry it in to the roleplay. Same goes vice-versa. It's childish and dumb. You aren't dumb are you? Show at least some respect while out of character. Remember, bullies make people commit suicide and that's not cool. Also. Don't argue about your characters. Just because Mary doesn't like the way Bob roleplays his character, she is going to get mad. Kindly leave if you are like this.
2. Homicide
It happens. Some are just plain out insane. Or maybe you just fucked up and upset someone pretty bad. I don't know. But as long as it's agreed to, killing is allowed. Do not kill another person's character without their permission! If that person doesn't want their character dead, you don't kill it. Kthanx.
3. DON'T JUDGE
Jeeze. If we need to pound that into your little head, so be it. Just because someone's character is super mean killer wolf. That doesn't mean the person roleplaying him/her is.
4. Stupidity
Do not beg to be an admin or mod. If we want you to mod, then we'll let you. You beg, the chances are really slim that you'll get it. The same goes while in character. Don't beg for a position that you want. It's a roleplay, your wolf can earn it.
5. Explicits
Cursing is apart of everyday life, so of course it's fine. Just try not to overdo it, you don't want to seem to dumb now do you? Keep it limited out of character.
6. Acceptance
Don't complain if you don't get accepted right away. Generally an admin will tell you if there is something wrong with your application, it may just take a bit for someone to get on and accept you.
7. Godmoding/Powerplaying
No one is a god. Just because your rank sets you apart from someone else doesn't make you all mighty. If any of this is seen without prior permission, someone will be cut. If you don't know what either of the words mean, then don't bother applying- chances are you're probably just annoying.
8. Pregnancy
If your character gets pregnant (ONLY THE FEMALES. Duh.) please keep it realistic. Don't have her pregnant, then a day later, give birth to pups. No, roleplay it slowly. Just because this isn't real doesn't mean there is no sense of time.
9. Love and Mating
Yes, this is a wolf site, and yes, wolves do love. But we don't need any of this: "Rachel didn't know who Ben was, but Rachel walked up to Ben and said "I love you! Let's make babies!" though Ben didn't know who she was he said "ok!"
As for graphic mating, if you're in to that sort of thing it's fine. Just have a warning in the title so someone who doesn't know how to hit the back button upon sight of it doesn't freak. Not everyone enjoys reading about animals doing it, and frankly too many it is rather odd that you should be role playing it.
10. Posting Guidelines
As far as the English language goes, unless you're not too fluent with it should there be anything anywhere that looks like this: "h3y evry1 waz^?" It's annoying and hard to understand for the lazy people who hate to try and decipher it. There isn't a posting limit, but do try to avoid one-liners and mammoth posts. Detail is great. But not to much alright? We don't need to get all graphical on certain things, and mammoth-sized posts are, well, boring. It's nice that you can write a lot, but some stuff is just irrelevant and pointless. ALSO! Posts need to be in third-person, loves. <3
11. Profanity
Profanity, an important part of everyone's venting. However, as there can be very young members to this site, please refrain from using profanity in every sentence you use. Use it minimally, and don't go overboard with it, unless you post a warning in advance.
