After reading the rules for such forums on other sites I decided to put the sam in here, firstly, because I really like them and second because some rules must be followed in every forum of PSX Maniacs
The purpose of this thread is to outline to the participants of this forum the rules and guidelines that are constructed to keep this forum under control. Please read through and abide to these rules during your stay here in this forum.
1.It is required that all newly created RPs meet the following qualifications:
[/li][li]The RP has a full, and in depth storyline to begin with. Having a beginning story that is only a few lines long will not be allowed. The beginning storyline is the foundation of the RP.
[/li][li]Included in the RP's title is a rating and a means of joining. Here are the ratings, one of which must be supplied:
Everyone [E] or General [G]: These are considered to be the "kiddy" RPs which are focused to a younger age group than most.
Teen [T] or Parental Guidance for those under 13 [PG-13]: The next step. These RPs contain more violence than the previous rank as well as a certain level of cursing, but no sexual content.
Mature[M]: More violence, swearing and sexual content is allowed, but still restricted as to not breach the regulations of Neoseeker.
[X] or [NC-17]: These ratings are for extremely violent and vulgar RPs (such as a Grand Theft Auto RP.) RPs of this caliber are not allowed.
These are the level of restrictions available when determining the access level for members to join new RPs:
[No PM]: No PM, or contact with the creator is necessary. Members can feel free to join these RPs just by posting in them. They are open to everyone, this is the most open level of restriction.
[PM]: Contact with the creator is necessary before posting. This allows the creator to "pick and choose" their lineup of participants a bit more carefully, since it requires their permission before the member is allowed to join.
Invitation Only [IO]: The most closed level of restriction. The only members that are allowed to take part in the RP are those who have been handpicked by the creator personally and selected to take place in the RP.
One of each of those two topics must be selected and included in the RP's title to allow its creation.
(Example: Herezin Industries [M] [IO])
[/li][li]The RP is complete with a form of a character sheet to provide the future participants to an easier access to joining. Here is an example of a character sheet, which you can feel free to use in your RPs:
Name: Your character's name
Age: Your character's age
Gender: Your character's gender
Appearance: The appearance of your character/how he or she looks.
Personality: The personality of your character.
History: Your character's background and past.
Other: Any extra information you may wish to add about your character.
2. All RP topics/storylines (both original and unoriginal, unoriginal meaning being inspired from a media based source such as a movie, a tv show, or a video game.) are limited to one RP only, meaning that there cannot be two Matrix RPs taking place at once. Please make sure before creating an RP that the idea has not already been taken. If the idea is taken, but the thread has been inactive for some time, please contact a moderator to inquire permission to create your RP.
3. All original RPs must remain original. Copying someone else's RP without their permission is a serious offense that will not be taken lightly.
4. All unoriginal RPs must still follow an aspect of originality. They may be founded off of a media based storyline, but can not directly follow it. An example would be: "Gandalf gave Frodo the One Ring, and he had to take it to Mordor." would not be accepted, while: "Gandalf must reach Frodo in time to deliver the One Ring to him before he himself is corrupted by its power." would be accepted.
5. All duel or fight RPs must first have the permission of a moderator before their creation is allowed. (More information will be provided later on)
