Welcome to the Jellicle Cats Role Playing Forum.
Here, we will be discussing the rules for posting on our forum. We ask that you please be respectful and follow all the rules. If not, you will be provided with warnings; if you fail to heed these warnings you will be banned.
1. Must be at least 14 years old to join. NO EXCEPTIONS.
2. Be Kind.
It's very simple. Be kind to all your fellow forum mates. We will not tolerate any disrespect from anyone and that includes the Administrators and Moderators.
3. You MUST have a Character.
In order to post on any of the forum threads you must have claimed or created a character. When posting in any story-based threads you MUST REMAIN IN CHARACTER AT ALL TIMES. (This means ALL threads except for those in the "Characters" Board at the top of the main page, and the "General" Board at the bottom of the main page)
For example, if you have a question or comment for someone about a story you're both participating in, private message them so that the story can be kept clear of distracting side-notes from the authors.
If you want to discuss anything that is not “Cats or Character” related please do so ONLY in private messaging or in our general discussion board.
4. Keep it topic related.
Whichever thread you have posted in, we ask that you KEEP your story related to that area. If you need to hop between threads just ensure that you make note of it and keep similar titles!
Along these same lines, stories are continuous from one thread to the next and happen "in real time" so to speak, to prevent confusion. For example, if your character is wounded in a fight in one thread, upon starting your next thread, the character would still have a wound to tend to in the next post.
5. Stick to your own CHARACTER.
If you are interacting with another character, DO NOT “take over” the other persons character. Allow them to respond for their character.
Appropriate:
Demeter was walking through town when she came across Bombalurina. She shouted, “Hey, Sis!! Where are you off to?” While waiting for her sister's response, she heard something in the distance and turned around to find a mouse peeking it's head out from one of the nearby trash cans.
Inappropriate:
Demeter was walking through town when she came across Bombalurina. She shouted, “Hey Sis!! Where are you off to?” Bombalurina suddenly jumped at her sister's voice. “Oh, hey, just headed to see Tugger.” Bombalurina's head whipped around when she heard a sound in the distance to see Tugger coming around the corner.
6. No excessive VIOLENCE.
We will not tolerate any kind of violence in story or out. A little drama here and there is fine in story. Keep it interesting. No one is to be seriously hurt or killed.
7. Keep ALL MATURE CONTENT STORIES inside designated thread.
Due to the fact we will have minors on this board ALL stories containing any type of sexual or mature content MUST be posted in designated thread. Only people 18yrs and older will have access to this thread. ANY VIOLATION OF THIS RULE WILL RESULT IN IMMEDIATE PERMANENT BAN.
8. We will require frequent posting.
If you are actively participating in a story with other characters you must reply within at least 1 month. If you have not posted any new stories or are actively participating within 3 months and someone else has requested your character, it will be reassigned.
9. Write your stories well.
We require that when posting any stories that you write them with proper grammar and English. No word abbreviations will be allowed. There is a spell check for your convenience. Please proof-read before posting. We also ask that you write more than just a few words; form full sentences and thoughts.
10. MOST IMPORTANT RULE EVER.
HAVE FUN! BE INSPIRED! CREATE FROM THE HEART!
