SECRETS RULES
Thanks for reading the rules for Secrets. We appreciate it. Anyway, lets get down to business.
BRAGGERS
I don't like a list of long rules to follow, so here at Secrets, we're gonna keep it short, sweet, and to the point. Don't brag. I absolutely hate braggers. So don't go prancing around bragging. Bite off if you are a bragger.
REGISTRATION
Registration is easy. You can either make an original or register with a canon. Please register in the right place or your application will not count! You may make as many characters as you want. However, with every four, at least one has to be a guy! (girl, girl, girl, guy)
ACTIVITY
Once you join our site, please remain active. I cannot stress this enough. Please try to log into your accounts at least once a week. And, don't just favor one account log into them ALL every chance you get. Otherwise, our site looks inactive. Any accounts that have been inactive for three weeks without notice can be deleted. Just a warning. We will have monthly activity checks! PM an admin if you know prior to that, that you are no longer interested in having a certain character or in being a part of our site. We won't ask questions. I promise.
ROLEPLAYING
While roleplaying at this site, please type more than 75 words while in character. No one wants to read 2 boring lines. Take 2 boring lines and make them into 2 exciting paragraphs. You've signed up for a roleplaying site, so make it exciting as possible. Also, have good grammar. Hopefully, your computer has spell check so, before you submit, make sure it's been checked over.
don't forget; this site is rated PG-13. please follow proboards tos.
C-BOX
Okay, if you've seen, we have a chat box, or C-Box. We have two, actually: one out of character C-Box and one in character C-Box. When talking in the out of character C-Box (on the left sidebar) don't overuse profanity or t4Lk lYk3 d!$! That is more annoying to listening to a baby cry for 30 minutes. Also, don't hate on the site, and don't turn guests away. If your TALKING IN ALL CAPS, make sure to take your caps button off because caps are annoying. In addition, let's not use the C-Box to advertise. Subtle links in your name? that's fine, let's just not add in flat out links. We have an advertising board for that! Let's use it.
For the in character C-Box, the same basic rules apply. Out of character remarks should be limited and marked by parenthesis. The C-Box operates as a Lipton chat room. You may throw as many characters as you want in it, each with their own icon (which goes in the URL/Email spot on the c-box). To get to this C-Box, you can click the link on the left side bar or look under 'instant messaging' for the sub board. You may NOT post in the in character C-Box until you are accepted. And in character drama must stay in-character. You may use chat speak, but try to refrain.
OTHER
Small things we notice: Please keep your icons either 100x100, 150x150, or 200x200. The thing that attracts people to your profile is your icon. So make it nice, big, bold, and make sure it's your character. The other thing that attracts people to your profile is your sig, so keep it somewhere between 500x600. If you are posting a picture, keep in lower than 500x350. Now, when your in roleplay mode, when there's conversation, a nice bolded color, and thinking, italicized.
Now that you know our basic rules, please do all you can to follow them. We hope that you have a great time here at Secrets.
