BE RESPECTFUL | The golden rule for almost every site is 'treat others as you want to be treated'. This is the umbrella rule for that, so be polite, don't insult people, keep drama to yourself, etc. If you have an issue with someone, let staff know and don't make an issue of it in public.

DO NOT STEAL | Treat people's stuff with respect. This goes for templates, icons, rules, graphics, whatever. If you would like to use something, ask the person who made it. If you find someone else using your stuff and don't want them to, feel free to contact the staff and we will remove it.

GRAPHIC LIMITATIONS | We would like for you to keep your avatars to 100x100 at the very maximum, due to the fact that if they get any larger, the boards start to look funny. Images in your signatures may not exceed 500x350. Please try to only have one full sized signature, and then text/small banners/whatever.

NO SPAMMING | This is a basic rule - don't spam. Don't make a million posts that don't add anything to the conversation, don't spam the chatbox with all caps, and don't spend every second on the forum games section. This also goes for advertising - keep it to the advertising forum, and don't post more then once a month.

CBOX MANNERS | The Cbox is the main discussion place on the site, and has a few rules for common courtesy. Do not exclude anyone from the conversation, and don’t get into fights in the cbox. Keep things polite and social, and try to interact with any guests or new members. If you have an issue with someone in the cbox, please let a staff member know so they can try and work it out.

roleplaying rules

INTERMEDIATE TO ADVANCED | We are an Intermediate to Advanced roleplaying site. This means that we expect you to have at least some roleplaying experience. This also means we expect decent spelling/grammar (please run it through a spell check, at least). Our word count minimum is one paragraph, but feel free to go over.

FACE CLAIMS ARE OPTIONAL | Want to use that awesome original anime-style guy or girl you found? Go ahead! But please, so that our site doesn’t encounter issues, do not use an artist’s work without their permission! Most artists will be fine with you using it if you ask. If you are an artist and see your work being used on the site, feel free to PM a staff member to have the problem dealt with.

ONE ACCOUNT PER CHARACTER | We, here at Awaken Terror, strive for the highest amount of character personalization. It’s also much easier to keep things organized, and sort member groups and all of that good stuff. Also, your display name must be changed to display your character’s name for each account. Ideally, you should register all accounts under your OoC name for even easier organization (for example, Emi would become Emi, Emi2, Emi3, etc).

TEMPLATES AND FONTS | Make sure your posts are able to be read. Please avoid using neon colors or any color that is difficult to read with the current layout. Templates are allowed but not required (check the rules forum for a sample), but please ensure that they are readable with the current forum layout.

NO GODMODDING OR POWER-PLAY | Please, no auto hit/dodge, do not god mod or power play in any form. Any attacks should be worded that you attempt to hit someone, rather then actually hitting them. If you are concerned another player is acting above their level, feel free to contact a staff member.[/style][style=font-family: arial; font-size: 10px; color: #000000; letter-spacing: 1px;]template by LINGER of gangnam style
