Welcome to Beyond! These are the basic guidelines of the site, so take a moment to read through them so you know what to expect from the site and what we expect of you.
2.) Don't spam. This includes replies that contribute nothing to the topic (such as just xD), or responses that are just so far off topic that it looks like you posted in the wrong thread.
3.) If someone is doing something you don't like, or is breaking the rules, contact a staff member. We tend to trust our members, so we may not even know if someone is doing something you don't like, ICly or OOCly. Even if it's a minor thing, don't be afraid to bring it up to us privately.
4.) Don't post in any IC areas before your character is accepted. Posting in OOC areas before then is fine.
5.) There are five custom profile fields in the mini-profile: a link to the character profile, Played by, and spots for your character's stats. Please fill them all out, with the profile link being a link to the public part of your character sheet. Your character will not be accepted until all of these fields are filled out.
6.) Follow the Proboards Terms of Service. This means keep everything safe for work, don't promote or do illegal things, and post in English.
2.) Posts should have decent spelling and grammar and should not use chat speak. No one expects you to be perfect, your posts just need to be readable. This site is ESL friendly, and we're not huge sticklers, so just do your best.
3.) No godmoding. Your character is not all powerful and should not act that way.
4.) No power playing. Don't control other peoples' characters without their permission. As a note, when this happens in a thread we will often assume that the player got permission. If they don't and you don't like it, be sure to contact a staff member.
5.) No metagaming. You should not use information you know OOCly in character if your character has no way of knowing that information.
6.) Liquid time is allowed. This means your characters can be in more than one thread at once.
7.) For group threads, try to keep a post order in mind. You don't have to stick to it if someone wants to be skipped, but make sure people get a chance to respond before you post again so they don't get left behind. The exception to this is exploration threads, but even then be courteous to your fellow RPers and try not to rapid fire back and forth and leave someone behind.
2.) There is no character limit, so feel free to play as many as you want. Just try to keep them all active.
3.) Each character should be on their own account, with the character's name as that account's display name. You can use their real name or a nickname, whichever you prefer.
2.) Any images used should be drawn art, preferably in some kind of anime or comic style. Original art is only allowed if it was drawn by you, or you commissioned it from an artist.
3.) All the graphics in your profile (avatars, signatures, etc) should be of your character, or some form of symbol or abstract art related to your character if you have no FC.
4.) All avatars will be resized to 150x150. If you don't want your image to drop in quality due to the resize, make sure they are 150x150.
5.) Signatures should not be any larger than 500x250. Don't add a massive wall of text in your signature either.
6.) All images must be safe for work, and must follow the Proboards Terms of Service.
7.) Don't steal or hotlink other peoples' images.
