Site Rules
Application Rule:
Please fill out a "How to Join" Application that is going to appear in the post below the rules.
1. Follow the Proboard Terms of Service, this should show up when you choose to sign up for the site.
2. The site is PG-13, however, cursing and swearing can, and will, happen. If somebody asks you to politely tone it down, please do so.
3. This is the biggest of all of the rules:
RESPECT
Respect other people, what they believe, who they are, their headmates if they are multiple. Their choices in life, from who they choose to be with, to their religion. If anybody is found not showing respect to others, there is 1 Warning about disrespect. Past that one warning, you're gone, you are done and terminated.
4. If you are having problems with another member in any way shape or form, alert us, send any member of the Staff a PM and we will do what we can to fix it. Furthermore, do not take your problems that you are having in real life to the forums outside of the Rant Board, if you feel the need to rant and rave, make a thread there. That's why it is there.
5. We are a Family, a Group of Friends, and somebody here to help you out. Do unto others, as you would have others do unto you.
6. You have One Weeks to post an introduction post after joining the forums, if that is not done by then, your account is deleted, if you do not have 10 posts within 1 moths time, your account is deleted.
7. This is NOT a roleplaying forum of any kind. This forum is for serious discussion, to have a conversation with other Therians, Otherkin and Multiples on things that effect us. We are not here to Roleplay. If you want to RP, do it somewhere else.
8. Keep advertising to a minimum, while things like Signature Links are acceptable, do not make threads dedicated to advertising a site. Official Affiliate Sites will be posted in the "News & Announcements" Section, under "Affiliates"
9. Accounts:
Account names should be unique and varied, things like "Therian" or "Otherkin Dragon" will confuse people. Anything offensive will be declined entry immediately. If a User wishes to change their name, they can contact either of the Admins, (Myself or Drako) and we will do it for you.
There should be One account per person / system, if the need arises for a Multiple System to have more than one account, it will be looked into on a case-by-case basis.
10. Use proper grammar and English when writing a post, no IM talk, no Leet Speak (1337) no text talking. Don't use numbers in place of letters, eg "l8er" or "u r 2 cool"
If you can't bother to spell it right, we can't be bothered to read your post. Atrocious spelling and grammar will be asked to be fixed if it is a repeating offense, a one time thing will get a mean glare from the staff.
11. The first post you should make on the site is your Introduction Post in the Introductions section. You are unable to send PM's until you have made your first post. In your introduction, you should include some things about you, who you are, your name, what your Kin type is and things such as this. It doesn't have to be great details, just somethings about who you are and how you found us ^^
12. We are not to be used for setting up times and dates and locations on where to meet, we are not a dating site, we are a discussion site. If you want to make arrangements to meet with the person in real life, then take it off of the forums. We cannot make promises about the security of members if we allow this on the site.
13. On the note of security, nothing that is posted on this site is to be "leaked" outside to anybody not on the site without explicit permission of the Admins. We want to make our members feel safe and secure on the site so that we can provide that "family" like atmosphere.
14. Be sure to fully read posts before you reply to them. This should be common sense, however some people just skim through posts before replying to them, so it is imperative that even if it is a large wall of text that you read it fully.
15. On the note of Text Walls, try to keep Text Walls down, use line spacing with the Enter Key to break up big parts of a post so that it's easier for people to read.
16. This forum has a dark gray/black background for posting, so if and or when you are picking a Posting Colour, be sure that it is not too dark to see on this screen. There will be a separate post that details the BBCoding for all posting Colours we are aware of.
17. When replying to a person, please remember to Shout at, eg. "@so-and-so, words of your post follow after the shout" or quote them, there is a quote button beside the reply button.
18. Do not Double Post, use the Edit Function instead.
These rules can, and will be updated whenever we find the need to update them. When a new rule is made, we will post an Announcement for it.
