The Rules

1. Stating the obvious: respect the other members. We don't want any fights in the CB, so try and be courteous to everyone and anyone, even if you don't know that person.

2. Please, please try to speak in proper english. The site in itself is an advanced to literate RPG site, that means you should be able to. We don't go crazy for chatspeak like 'lol' or 'omg' and stuff like that, but we're highly allergic to it, so don't be surprised if you get low response.

3. No advertising in the CB. We have boards for that, use them.

4. As you may have noticed, there is no censor in the CB, and yes we do swear too sometimes. But please, try not to go overboard, and do not swear against other members.

5. The Admins (Marie and Amber) and mods (Jane and Traci) of the site are the same as in the CB - listen to them if they tell you something. And don't try to pretend you're one of us - we do speak to one another off the site, and we can look at IP addresses.
