T H E G E N E R A L R U L E S 001. Respect all members and staff. If you're having a problem with someone (including staff), just PM me and we'll try to sort things out. But if you think you can, PM them nicely and discuss the matter with respect. Please do not cause any dramatic scenes, such as directly attacking/accusing a Staff member. It is definitely uncalled for.
002. No discrimination against anyone. Whether in RP or just normal chatting. Respect one another's beliefs for the sake of all (though this can be avoided all together if you keep personal information to yourself). This is not tolerated. If anyone insults you because of your race, religion, gender, or anything of the sort, just PM a staff member.
003. There is to be no spamming whatsoever. An example of spamming would be to constantly send messages over and over again in the chatbox. Spamming is also when someone replies (or “bumps”) a topic repeatedly (annoying!). If there is any spamming, you will be warned and an Admin or Moderator will delete your topic.
004. Any rudeness OOC will never be tolerated here. As a member you should agree to be respectful of others and never insult them for whatever reason. Instead, you should be mature enough to sort things out through PM by a staff member or yourself. Acting like an ass to everyone will not get you any friends, that's for sure. So discuss things properly with each other.
005. Remember to advertise in the advertising section only. Please do not advertise in any section other than here. When doing so, also make sure to read and understand the rules. Do not PM members invites to your site, as this is extremely annoying (unless the person asked for the link). Otherwise, advertising is strictly in the Advertising section.
006. Please keep images to a PG-13 rating--that means no nudity. People come onto the site, and we can never know how old they really are. Threads have the [M] warning in threads, but images showing any personal body parts of a male or female are not tolerated. You and your IP address will instantlybe banned and your topic will be deleted.
007. Signatures can be a maximum of 175 by 500--that would be h x w. This is pretty self-explanatory. Large images not only stretch the pages, but they also lengthen loading time. If your image exceeds the 175 x 500 limits, it is automatically shrunk down to a reasonable size. It is highly suggested that you keep your banners at the maximum boundary!
T H E R E G I S T R A T I O N R U L E S
001. Do not register with an invalid email address. If your email does not work and/or links to inappropriate material, your account will be deleted. This is important because sometimes emails are sent out to warn about clean-ups, activity checks, etc. Also, be sure to check your email that you used after registering to activate your account and become a full member!
002. Please register with your character's first and last name. For organization reasons we ask you to please register your username as your character's first and last name. This will prevent confusion between multiple accounts. Also, if you decide to change your character's name later, simply PM a staff member and they will get to editing your username.
003. There is currently no limit on how many characters you can have. If you think you can handle more, make sure to balance them and keep them all equally active. In order to make another character after your first, and so forth, you must have at least 25 more posts than you did before (i.e. 25 posts = 2nd char, 50 = 3rd char, etc).
004. If you want a second character, be sure to register with a new account. This means you need to register for a new account for a new character. This will help us with organization and keeps any confusion of who-plays-who away. Inactivity rules apply to all your accounts, no matter what. So if you don’t think you can keep up multiple characters, then please don’t make them.
005. If you want multiple characters, make sure to keep them all equally active. Sometimes people tend to go off the handle and make dozens of different characters and accounts without staying active on any of them. If you decide to do this, you need to keep your accounts equally active--that means posting with a third char. just as much as you do with your first.
006. Please don't register your new character account with a different email. Since this can also cause chaos when discerning members from one another (and their characters), we encourage you to use the same email as you did for your first account. If for some reason you can't, please let an Admin know this. Otherwise, just use the same email--we'll know who you are eventually, so it's no secret.
T H E R O L E P L A Y I N G R U L E S
001.There is no chatspeak in character. This site is for literate people who want to express themselves in another character using intermediate or advanced writing skills. Only correct grammar, punctuation and spelling is allowed. If you do a small misspelling, then that's alright. Remember to use Spell Check!
002.Plagiarism is not allowed and will be punished. Plagiarism is extremely looked down upon and it not allowed. Ever. Everything is © copyrighted to their rightful owners—not you! Don’t steal other ideas, because people will find out, and you will be banned. If you do this once, you will get a warning. If continued, you will eventually be banned.
003.God-modding and power-playing are not accepted. Power-playing is something that should be avoided at all costs, lest you want to get a warning for doing it. Power-play is when you control another character's movements without the author’s permission. God-modding is saying that your character is invincible, and that they can’t be defeated.
004.Do not cross anything OOC with IC. This is unacceptable. When you start a fight in the roleplaying boards due to a real life or some other stupid reason, you cause drama (crossing). If you're having issues with someone, take it up in PM or email—not the boards. Fighting takes up RPing space, time, and can turn a fun roleplay into a large flurry of profane words.
005. There is a 500 word minimum for in character posts. Nothing less. Though the limit is only 500 words, there's no hurt in putting in a little more effort, is there? Now, I do understand that everyone has their days when they just aren't up for writing--but being an intermediate-advanced roleplay, we expect you to do your best when you can (if not, do the minimum).
006. The site rating is M for Mature and meant for ages 17 and up members. This means if you cannot handle things relating to suggestive themes, gore or violence, then you should not join. Though usually for 17+, this site is for, ironically, mature members who can keep themselves in check revolving around the said subjects above. Though we encourage an older audience.
007. Please keep threads rated so as to warn members that may be younger. Though rated Mature, we expect people to not abuse this power and try and do things tastefully! That means instead of raunchy sex, intense gore, etc, do it with style, or 'fade to black'. Even though it’s up to you on how you write, take into consideration that everyone can see your topics. Place an [M] for topics that surpass the PG-13 rating so as to warn younger members.
T H E F I N A L R U L E S
001. Don't forget to enjoy yourself and have fun here in Oh, Sweet Elysium. That is the ultimate goal here at Elysium. We want all our members to be comfy and feel welcomed here with their characters and ideas. If you ever have any questions or you need some help, please, don’t hesitate to PM any of the staff or I. Enjoy your time here at Oh, Sweet Elysium!
002. All writings, images, characters and content are © copyrighted to their respectful owners and their owners only. Don't steal or claim anything. This is very self-explanatory. Do not steal other people's images, writings, characters or anything else you did not make yourself. Don't copy, steal, redistribute, claim or edit anything that is not yours. Thanks!
