Rules
RESPECT & OBEY THEM
KEY: UPDATES
I. REGISTRATION
First of all, before being accepted your account name should be your characters first and last name. Middle is optional. You should also know that the admins sometimes aren't on their computers when they're online, so we may not always be able to change the color of your name right away. If you ARE approved your application will be moved to the ACCEPTED board and you can move onto your claims and start roleplaying even if your name isn't colored. I would like to point out that you shouldn't have more characters than you can handle. We have no limit but please, we ask for every three females, make a male if you are comfortable with playing two different genders. We would like an even ratio if possible.
Applications should be finished within a month atleast, unless you have a good enough excuse that you cannot finish it then. Please let us know if you cannot. (:

II. ROLEPLAYING
When you're role playing, it will be in third person. Its what everyone does, why would you change it up now? There isn't a word count, but we do ask that you atleast give the rper you are responding to enough to work with in your post when they reply. It's hard to respond to a three sentence post or to one that doesn't give the rper enough for their character to respond to to give you a decent post. It limits the creativity of the rper in the thread. We aren't an advanced site, but please make sense in your posts. Grammar is important in role playing. A couple of mistakes are fine, we're not sticklers. There is also such a thing called Word to check for spelling and grammar errors. If you are waiting for a post to be done, don't keep pestering the other person to post. They will post. Sometimes people aren't inspired to do it at that moment. That's okay. There are plenty of other members that wouldn't mind threading that have tons of inspiration to spread. But don't hold off for too long otherwise we'll move it to the archives. If a thread is completed or dead then PM the Admin account with the thread link and a Admin will move it to the archives and vise versa for threads already in the archives.
When posting in large groups we keep a posting order... thread starter, 1st person to join, 2nd person to join, 3rd person to join, thread starter, 1st person, etc.,.... stick to the order!
If you cannot be here, just post a thread in the going away board. Or you can PM an admin.
Do not copy and paste a whole paragraph from the previous poster and count it as a big chuck of your post! You will be banned if seen doing this multiple times after three warnings. However, copying what they say in quotes is totally fine.

III. CANONS
No member can hold more than one at a time at the current moment, unless given special permission by our staff. This may change but at the current time two canons will only be allowed in cases that we see fit or the character(s) is highly needed and someone active can handle them. This is so that we can make it fair for everyone and gives others a chance to have one. Canons need to post a minimum amount of five times per month (in threads) or else lose their claim.
IV. ACTIVITY CHECKS
We will be checking if you're on your accounts every week. Sign into your account at least once every week. Even if we see you sign into your accounts every day though, if you are not posting at all then you will be considered inactive. Please try to keep up your activity and posting. We want this site to grow. If you hold a clan/pack position and remain inactive for two months with no notice then your claim will be lost and for canons it is one month. A pm will be sent out but if no response is given the position or canon becomes open. If you decide to return and the canon or position is still open you can reclaim it.
V. GOD-MODDING
If you are new to roleplaying, god-modding is controlling a character's actions and words that do not belong to you. Please do not do this unless given permission ahead of time by the other member. You cannot control any others character's besides yours in posts - or anywhere.
Also, your characters are not perfect. They have peeves, likes and dislikes. And most importantly strengths and weaknesses. Every character doesn't have to be a saint or have a tragic history. Normal, boring characters are welcome too. It actually makes things more realistic amongst the fantasy. We just ask that you be your natural creative selves when creating a character and to try to not copy off of others or shows and movies. (:
No permanently killing other people's characters unless given permission from the other person who's character you wish to kill. BUT, once you kill them in a plot, they cannot come back to life unless under special circumstances such as for a specific plot and given permission from a staff member.

VI. SEXUAL CONTENT
LITSv2 is a strict follower of the TOS guidelines for Proboards and prohibit anything against said rules. Cursing must be kept to a minimum and anything involving sexual activity must be kept PG-13. If things become too serious then move onto a time skip or fade to black. End of story. Do not pm sexual encounters as Proboards can still monitor that.
VII. GRAPHICS
I ask of you, do not make anything too big. Although we have a resize code in place, the resize text above the image isn't very pleasing to the eye. Avatars can go as high as 200x300 but must not be any smaller than 150x200. As for the banners in the signature section can go the highest we allow is 550x500.
Signatures and avatars are not required but we do ask that you have atleast an avatar or a signature so we know what your character looks like while threading. It doesn't have to be pretty at all and can just be a image from Google or from the celebrity's gallery. If you cannot find or create a avatar then please do not hesitate to ask Ishy.
We ask that you please refrain from using real life people from places like Twitter and Facebook such as personal friends or random people or anime characters. We accept any type of celebrity, model, athlete, etc whether famous or just starting out. Celebrities under the age of 13 are not allowed. Even if they are older now you cannot use a picture of them while they are under 13 in the picture. This is a Proboards rule.
