In order to keep Avalanche a warm community, we need to set rules. If you want to short version of the rules, only read the bold words.
General Posting Rules:
Everything must be PG13.
That means no pornographic or nude images or descriptions, and no sensitive content (self harm, etc.)
Minor swear words are okay if used correctly, but no f-bombs and no offensive slurs of any kind.
No sexist or racist posting, ever.
Do not ever share any personal information.
Sharing phone numbers, your email address, full names, school, anything of that kind, is prohibited.
Treat others the way you want to be treated.
Never ever post:
Any threats regarding race, sexuality, or gender
Hack or death threats
Anything discriminating of any kind
Any disrespect towards the administration or the forum is also prohibited.
Spamming/flooding of the forum or chat box is not allowed.
Avoid posting one-word posts, including but not limited to "ok" or "yes."
Advertising of other games, forums, etc., should only be done in the General Discussion board; advertising is not allowed anywhere else on the forum, including the chat box.
Also avoid using text colors that are painful to the eyes or difficult to read.
Harassment or cyber-bullying will result in a permanent ban.
If another member is being rude to you at all, report it to a moderator as soon as possible.
Do not continue talking to that person until the moderators have sorted things out.
If somebody is attacking you, you report it, and DO NOT attack back, because that will result in getting yourself banned as well.
If you ever witness members attacking each other, please report it to a moderator immediately.
When reporting a user for harassment, please provide a full explanation of what happened. Proof is needed.
Please take a screenshot or copy and paste what was posted, then show that to the moderators.
Breaking the above rules WILL result in a ban or a strike (three strikes and you're out)
Roleplay Rules:
No power-playing.
This means making yourself more powerful then any other player.
No god-modding
This means no killing each other's characters without permission from the owner of the character you are killing.
So, no controlling other people's characters without their permission.
When you are roleplaying, please make it obvious whether it is you or your character speaking.
If you are writing as yourself, please write in parentheses () or put OOC.
Also when your character is thinking, please put it in italics or between apostrophes, so we know your character didn't verbally say it.
This is a semi-lit forum, therefore you must write at least 4 sentences when in character.
Try and be descriptive with your posts; use adjectives and adverbs. This will make a post more fun to read.
Describe what you’re character is thinking and feeling, not just what he/she is doing.
Please be sure to use proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
Do not make run-on sentences, as those are confusing to read.
Please remember to keep all role plays PG-13.
Characters may only:
Kiss on lips, forehead, cheek, hand
Do a 'fade to black' if it goes further
But anything further than that will result in a strike.
You may create additional rules for your threads and role plays, but these rules apply for and are the main rules for the entire forum.
If you witness any member breaking these rules, please report the post and a moderator will take it from there.
