Rules (Mandatory Read)

[Ryan McKinney]

These are the rules of the forum. I've done my best to make them easy to understand and easy to follow, but make sure you read them thoroughly before posting your character application, as they are very important!

Out-of-character Rules

• Be kind and understanding with other members.
  
  
• If your character doesn't get along with another character, (which will probably happen), don't let it interfere with out of character relationships. That is, don't be hateful with someone just because your character happens to dislike theirs.
  
  
• Don't ask me if you can be an admin. If I want you to help out, I'll ask (and you're free to say no), but any "CAN I PLEASE BE AN ADMIN/COUNSELER PLEASE PLEASE" pms, e-mails, or c-box posts will be promptly deleted.
  
  
• If there's a form, use it. There are several places throughout the site where a form is required for posting - be sure to use it!
  
  
• I don't care what name you register with, but your display name should be your first and last name. You can dress it up with any symbols you'd like, but just have your first and last name included.
  
  
• One character per account, limit two accounts per person. If you want any more characters than that, ask me. If you're active and a good roleplayer, chances are I won't mind at all.
  
  
• Any questions should be posted in the questions board or pm'ed to me.
  
  
• There shall be no spamming. If you spam, you get banned. Period.
  
  
• If you want to affiliate with us, look in the affiliates board. Don't post in random places or in the games/chat/questions board as that will be considered spam.
  
  
• Signature images should be no bigger than 600w by 150h. For reference, that's what size mine is. Your signature should also include your character's age, year, number of labels earned, and if desired, relationship status. Your own label will be placed in your custom title by an admin.
  
  
• Cursing/swearing is allowed, as long as every word that comes out of your/your character's mouth isn't a cuss word. Try not to go crazy with it, and I won't have to restrict it. The first part of the password to the character application board is "seven"

In-Character Rules

• This forum is an intermediate to advanced roleplay. That means you are expected to post at least a full, coherent paragraph (at least six or seven sentences, preferably) with each post. That said, I won't ban you for posting one short post, since I understand that we all have times when our muse won't cooperate. Just write good posts consistently and you'll be fine.
  
  
• This forum is rated PG-13. Please keep that in mind when posting. If your character and another want to do something naughty, don't go into detail. Anything past what you can do with clothes on (and without reaching under them) is not allowed. This isn't an erotica site; if you want to roleplay out that sort of thing, do it over PM or messenger.
  
  
• Your character is required to post at least once a day (real life week) in his or her official journal. Be sure to follow the form when doing so. Remember, this is a camp with a purpose, not just for having fun, and the journals are the camp's way of ascertaining whether it's working.
  
  
• You will be labelled. I know you've always heard it's not nice to judge people, but that's what this roleplay is about. When you sign up, you'll be given a label based on what stereotype the admins think your character fits into. The objective of those who founded the camp is to help campers overcome those stereotypes and learn to get along with each other without regard for social groups.
  
  
• Having stated the previous rule, please remember that the kids sent to this camp have problems fitting in or cooperating with other people their age. Your character shouldn't be just the friendliest, most lovable darned thing in the world, or they wouldn't have been sent here in the first place. These kids have social problems. Those can include a lack of compassion towards others (bullying), overt shyness, rudeness, inability to cooperate, among others.
  
  
• You will be assigned a cabin and room once your character application is accepted. When you have been given that cabin and room, go to the appropriate board and start a thread for your room (being sure to follow the form there).
  
  
• Follow the in-character camp rules, and you'll be just fine! The second part of the password for the character app board is "dreams". No spaces, no caps.
