01. The admins would really like this to be an active site. We understand if you cant be on 24-7, but please try to log in at least three times a week. If you wont be able to, please post in the absences board.
02. Please, please respect both the admins and the members of this site, regardless of whether you are a member yourself or just a guest who is stopping by. Please don't start fights out of character, I'm sure everyone would like DtR to be a fun and friendly place, not a living hell.
03. When you register, you can sign up with any name you like, although when setting up your profile, please change it to your characters name, all in capitals. For example: MEGAN TAYLOR or RAINE ELLIOT. This just makes things all neat and tidy.
04. Before you even consider roleplaying, please post your application and wait to be accepted. Dont worry, it's short and easy. We are also a original only site (subject to change), so please don't ask about canon characters. We may make some in the future, but for now, we don't have them. Your characters must be your own.
05. Here at Dtr, we don't have a word count (crayon is to lazy), but we do ask that you match the posts of the person above you. Try to give a good paragraph so that the person you are posting with have something to go on.
06. No spamming! If you dont know what it is, look it up^^
07. Upon joining, you may create one male character and one female character. No more than that. You may, of course, only create a male or a female. This is to keep the population mostly equal. There will be opportunities in the future to make for characters.
08. One horse per character. Make a new character, get a new horse. There will be contests and such later for more opportunities to get another horse, plus you could always buy another at the rescue center if you were desperate.
09. We are a 'one character per account' type of site, meaning that every new character you make must have a new account. This is to keep confusion down and to keep the site tidy.
in character rules;;
01. No godmodding, and please try to avoid mary-sue or gary-brown characters. Don’t know what those are? They are characters that have no faults, and are extremely boring to roleplay with. Your character may think they are perfect, but they themselves cannot be.
02. DtR is rated pg-thirteen. Sex and drugs are not allowed unless censored. Proboards terms and conditions state that you should be over thirteen to sign up, so you should be able to handle any mature topics that happen. If not, don't join, simple. If you ignore this and sign up anyway, don't get offended if you read something you don't like. and please, if you're having a mature topic (i.e. sex) make sure your thread fades to black, or stop the thread and take it off the site to continue. The thread will be deleted automatically if it is found to violate proboards terms of service, and you will receive a warning. The general rule is don't write anything you wouldn't want your grandmother to see.
03. Please use proper spelling and grammar. I understand if you make a spelling error, but you can always go back and edit it. You should know the difference between their and there, or whether and weather.
04. Posts should always be in third person and past tense, Except when your character is talking. i.e) Baily walked down the path, her boots crunching on the dry soil. Secret word is turtles.
signatures and avatars;;
01. They are not required but they make the site look nice. It’s a good way to advertise your character / give people a quick peek at what your character looks like without having to read their biographies (although you should anyway, if you are rp'ing with them)
02. The graphics should not stretch the board. Please do not but up any graphics that do, because it will make the site slow and look bad. Yes, I know, I have been talking about the sites looks, but... xD
03. Absolutely no nudity, inappropriate gestures/themes, or violence
Baconbox;;
01. Please do not SPAM the c-box. This includes posting multiple times in a row for no reason, like just posting ... four times in a row. It is for conversations/chatting.
02. No advertising. It is ok to have your site think in your name but please do not make it apparent, like posting 'hey, you should come to my site!'
03. No cursing or fighting. It is not tolerated one bit. If you curse/fight, you will be suspended for two days. If it continues and the suspending doesnt work, you will be banned from the chat-box and/or site.
unlocking characters;;
01. Start ~ one male and female character
02. 50 IC posts ~ one male or female character
03. 100 IC posts ~ one male or female character
04. 200 IC posts ~ one male or female character
04. Every 100 more IC posts unlocks a new character
That wasnt so bad, was it? Don't forget the secret word!
