A pack looking for a second chance...a semi-realistic canine role-play, based upon brute strength and a solitary leader, taking her throne once more.

General Rules & What to follow Empty
PostSubject: General Rules & What to follow   General Rules & What to follow EmptyMon Jun 30, 2014 7:07 pm

CODE OF CONDUCT

It may seem a bit of a drag to follow such important notices. Keep in mind that following these rules will also benefit to help keep the site in-line and also be very helpful for new users, that do not expect much to also learn the value in them! Moderators must follow and be on their duty if they seek a user going against a rule!

To ensure a safe and fun atmosphere, every rule must be reviewed promptly!
Expect to see an update in the future!

No Foul Language
Intentionally using foul language repeatedly or regularly isn't allowed. Especially using it towards other members in an abusive way, or also using it in sentences. Keep it to a minimum/moderate when you are talking. Some words can be acceptable, however, other words will be blocked.

Credit
If you are using a picture of a wolf you got off of google or yahoo, take a look at the link provided and make sure you credit that person who took that photo. Despite if it's a drawing or not, you should always credit anything you use. If you copy, steal, alter or even claim as your own you will receive a warning, even after you are warned and provide a copyright. Artwork from deviantART should be respected and always credited, providing information. If you see someone not following this and claiming pictures as their own, report them immediately!

No excessive writing
I'm not too crazy over excessive wording, especially repeated words that are known as Spam. Spam is pity, duplicated words and phrases that cause an annoyance to many individuals. Doing this also will also hand you a warning. Please try not to use many words over and over. This also goes for post count raising.

No post count raising
No post count raising is permitted along the site. This qualifies as repeatedly checking topics and posting, nonetheless giving yourself the advantage to take possibly top poster of the week or month. You will be warned and if ignored a second warning and  messaged by a moderator.

Age Limit
I will only accept members that are at least 16+. Any user that is under the age of 16, must notify me on behalf of this rule. If you do not meet this requirement and are of age 15 and younger, you cannot join as a full member, but you can join as a Lone Follower until you are at least 15, with exceptional reasons.

Looks of Your Character
I do allow to an extent of unusual colors. When I mean "unusual", I do mean, the eye color can differ from singular to hetero, same as coat patterns and anything beyond that. What I don't hope to see is horns, wings, mood changing eyes, metal accessories on claws/fangs, more than one tail, etc. That's what is not allowed and I wish to keep it that way.

Wolf Facts
As listed above, wolves do not have any special markings, but I am allowing unusual markings, just keep it moderate and not too out of control. As for the breeds of wolf, keep in mind that, the maned wolf is not apart of the wolf family. If you request with a maned wolf, your request will be declined. As only wolf breeds, endangered and well commonly found are accepted. Dire wolves can also be accepted, but I only expect to have 3 of that kind around.

No Mary/Gary Sues
I despise seeing such characteristics played out by people who intend to be "better" than anyone else around them. If you intentionally provide information that makes your character stand out, then you are on the wrong site at the wrong time. Having to be more beautiful, fluent in language, powerful, flexible and so on, showing off is also banned from providing more supportiveness for your wolf. No one is better than anyone else, every wolf should have  a weakness chained to it. If you attempt to bypass this rule and provide information in your request or biography, you will be mentioned to edit your post.

During Role-play
While you start to jump into the Rp, despite if it's an event or not, I do expect to see every user following the same procedure, as the rukles do apply for everyone to follow! At least 3-4 sentences per post. Paragraphs are limited to an extent where 4 is minimum. Also, to talk OOC, please be responsible to use parenthesis or the brackets above or below your post, doing this will be less confusing for everyone. Stay on topic of what is going on, play as your character only and remember how your character's personality is.

Respect is The Key
Despite if you have been apart of this pack for a very long time, or you are a newt, you still cannot disrespect anyone according to their behavior or role. If you seek unfair advantages of someone's role and try to provoke them because they have a higher privilege is not tolerable.  Everyone is respected equally, despite if you are a veteran or not.

Appreciative Manners
Expecting members to be positive and fun-loving. I do wish that at least, every member to say "please" or even a "thank you", since it goes a long way.

Keep To Yourself
Do not share personal information. Showing pictures/videos of yourself, addresses and phone numbers are prohibited.

Realistic Behavior
Wolves in the wild. What do they do? What do they eat? How do they perform their movements? It's all based down with realistic behavior and body language. Running, jumping, hunting and much more. Wolves can perform many tactics but some things they cannot do, or have ever been watched to do in the wild.
DO NOT USE: power-play: Bora Bora modes; invincibility, flying/soaring, instant growth of body, teeth, claws, etc. Wolves have dull claws, they are not sharp to tear or scrap to kill. Teeth are not pointy like a needle or dagger, nor are they metal or with a steel tooth. They cannot tear easily or do one kill bites. They cannot out-run for a prolong time, no sort of mood-changing eyes are not acceptable!


Upper-classed Canids
The upper classman of canids are the Alpha's and Deputies. They must earn respect within and out of role-play. You may give respect fully to them as they try their best to keep everyone in line, when especially the alpha is not present on the site. Moderators also must be active members, unless excused for a reason. Trust and knowledge is important, controlling your temper and having good maturity levels are very important! if you cannot control yourself and are very pity, spoiler, spammer and so on, you will not earn this role at any time or even in the future.

We have two current mods/deputies, they are Blythe and Aleera. They will oblige to anyone's enquires anytime during the day and if needed, you may PM them at anytime. Please respect them as they have experience. Please be nice to Blythe, as she does her best to support everyone and keep the site and everyone else alive. Do not mistreat any of the powerful members, as they will be aggressive towards you if you provoke them.


WITHIN THE ROLE PLAY

Short RP Notice
Whilst role-playing with one another or so do OOC. Please assure that you are using the proper tools when role-play. Make sure to check your grammar, make sure you use proper punctuation and most importantly, make sure not to go off topic. if someone is going off-topic, don't correct them by back-seating. Admins and Moderators will handle those who aren't following the rules. We do appreciate your work! But we understand any consequences and will handle it from there.

No Imaginative Characters
Do not add imaginative characters into the Rp! Whatever happens in the Rp must be negotiated by an admin/mod on whether the topic of releasing a human, dog or another predator will be supervised only by a "Mother Nature" account. Mother nature is only for users who are active, helpful and over time chosen to be part of the group. Not everyone will be chosen to play as mother nature, but eventually you will! Just make sure to always follow the rules and you';ll do just fine! As for any other creatures introduced as not a secondary character approved by the admin, will be ignored and removed and that user will receive a warning. If anything progresses a private message will be given to that user with further investigation.

Ghosts, family members, soul-mates, will and only be discussed in a dream, or rather hallucination. You may dream of a special someone or relative, or maybe even an enemy. Just do not involve them in Rp out of the blue. Confusion will be aligned.

No Controlling Other Canids
I have seen this too often before in previous packs and I do agree that it should not be implemented in the Rp. For various reasons this happens if iif someone doesn't get along or they are waiting for a reply and want to keep role-playing, or pretend to fight and really..it never happened. I do not want to see other users controlling one another. On the chat it can be different, but keep it away, far away from the role-play. To keep it less confusing and out of touch. No one should tolerate their character being brain-washed by anothers'.

Please understand and respect these rules provided. I want this pack semi-realistic/realistic and keep it that way.

ACTIVITY
I do look for activity in many users. Posting at least 3-4 times a week as a minimum, logging in at least 4 times a week. If you cannot be active daily or can't commit for a period of time, you may request an EFG.

I advise for you to not beg for your rank or any other rank not qualified for you. You must wait patiently before you earn a rank.

If you signed up on the site and never return weeks, prior to a month your account may be removed. If you want to re-join, you must request the same form and will be accepted, with some exceptional reasons, of course.

If you do not commit to the pack and do not have time at all beyond your decisions, please take the time to think of either waiting or becoming a Lone Follower.

FORUMS

If you have further ideas, you may post in the suggestions and ideas board. If you PM ideas, you will be ordered to generate your brainstorming on the topic provided. PMing ideas are ignored.

Any post you make upon the site must have at least three words. Any posts you make in role-play areas must contain at least 3 sentences minimum.

Multiple posts or SPAM is not allowed. You must refrain from posting once warned by a moderator.

CHATBOX
Do not advertise your own site or another site on the chatbox.

If fights/arguments arise among the chatbox, they must be immediately taken into PM. If ignored and users refuse to refrain they will be kicked until further notice!

The chatbox is for chatting with other users. It's not a spotlight for you to be the center of attention, sharing stories is a plus. However, you cannot drown yourself with pityness and try to collect sympathy at any time as it is prohibited.

Do not pretend or act out like a Deputy/Mod, please provide information of a screen-shot to an online Deputy/Mod that isn't on the chatbox, via PM.

No controversial/Inappropriate topics allowed on the chatbox.

(religions, suicide, sexual topics, etc}

Whining and complaining on the chatbox is not tolerated.

Be respectful on the chatbox, including staff members.

AVATARS & SIGNATURES

If you have an avatar/signature made from a user in artworks and designs, then they must no longer be seen anywhere else, but the site.

The use of these graphics must have appropriateness. (Not very gory, sexual, foul language, etc}

You may only have ONE picture displayed in your signature. Other pictures that reflect from your character must be placed on your biography.

If you have an avatar/signature that wasn't made by your, you must credit them!

Your avatar must reflect off of your canid. Other non-related picture will be removed.

You may not Youtube videos in your signature, as excessive lengths of signatures cannot clog an entire page. Any videos you want to share must be placed in your biography!

You can only have 3 quotes of anything in your signature.

WARNINGS/TEMPORARY BANS & PERMANENT BANS

Warnings
- A warning is reflected upon what you have done to break a few rules, to an extent not as much of a severe warning. You will have access to the forum and other topics, however, you will receive a message of not to be told to repeat the same mistake and try to avoid future warnings.

Temporary Banning
- A way to where you will be banned upon how much rules have been crosed, ignored and receiving warnings over the same tactic. You will return to the site with some restrictions, until then you cannot participate in any current events or an upcoming event.

Permanent Banning - This only happens when a user excessively breaks a rule with multiple warnings in advance. If they don't refrain, they will get banned upon their mannerisms. This also can result in chatbox bans. Breaking a rule severely can get you as far as a perma ban.

If in the future there is ever a problem along the site, whether it's on the chatbox or through private messaging with harrassments, please do not hesitate to contact an administrator (Flash) or a Deputy/Mod (Aleera & Blythe) as we will resolve any situations that occur. Please also keep in mind that these will alter and change over time, so it's your responsibility to check every so often to seek what has been altered or added.
Disciplines will be given out immediately if a user breaks a rule. The moderators have their job for a reason and will comply with it. Any warning and ban will be the discretion of the staff!
Having all this noted and respected, thank you for your cooperative notions and keeping this site supported and alive!
