- Treat others as you wish to be treated. It's called the Golden Rule in some places, and it's a good one. Remember, we're all here to have fun. Your fun isn't any more valuable than anyone else's, so don't ruin it for them if you don't want it ruined for you.
- That said, tell someone if you're uncomfortable. It doesn't have to be the person, you could tell the mods and they'll handle the situation. We can't do anything if no one admits that there's a problem. We can try to catch these things before they start, but we're not all-knowing. We'd much rather people talked out their issues instead of letting them fester.
The mods may joke and play with everyone, but when the mod hats are put on, we're going to be completely fair, impartial, and professional. Our job isn't just to run the game, but also to make sure it runs smoothly both character-wise and player-wise. - This game is rated PG-13 for the most part. There may be some higher things going on, depending on the situation and how the players planned things.
For things like suicide, sex, self-mutilation, torture, abuse, etc. you will need to put up a warning in the post and place the content behind a cut (ex. <cut text="Content Warning: Sex, Drugs, and Rock&Roll">). You should also consider asking beforehand to see if it's going to bother anyone. Be considerate. This flashes back to rule #1. - All players must have a Permissions Post for their character, which will be linked on the Taken List alongside the character's journal. You can get one here if you don't already have one, but any style of permissions will do as long as it covers the same essential information. Don't do something to a player that goes against their permissions post (ex. if they say not to break the fourth wall, don't have your character call them out on being fictional; if they so no injuries without permission, don't make assumptions in your replies and say your character injured theirs).
If someone does do something against your wishes, see rule #2. It may be a simple misunderstanding, so please try to ask the other player to correct their mistake first before contacting a mod. - IC =/= OOC. Just because a character is a massive jerk in the game, it doesn't mean that the player is. Just because a character hates your character, it doesn't mean that the player does. Please keep that in mind.
The opposite is also true: if you have issues with a player OOCly, don't use your character as a mouthpiece. OOC problems should be handled OOCly between players, or with a mod, and not through IC interactions.
These rules are subject to change at any moment. When they change, it will be announced on the OOC comm.
