Site Rules
1. Listen to what the staff tell you to do. They are in charge.
2.You may not tell others what to do or that they broke a rule. REPORT rule breaks and the moderators will handle it.
3. Be polite to others at all times. {if you feel mistreated by staff - PM an admin!}. Don't criticise other people's characters, clans or plots! If someone picks on you, report it.
4. No starting drama, talking about hurting yourself/others, discussing religion or politics, or making rants/attacks on the site or our members.
5. Do not ask for, or give out, personal information. This includes by PM.
6. No sexually explicit material or vulgarity allowed in roleplay or images. No graphic torture, gore, etc. Do not dodge the word filters or post links to inappropriate sites.
7. No spamming/nagging. The only place you can advertise outside sites is your signature. NOT by PM! This includes "chain messages," which is ANY message telling you to pass it on to others.
8. You may NOT threaten to report a member. Just report them.
9. Stealing art/writing {plagiarism} WILL result in suspension. Do not use photos or art by others that is not licensed for free use or that you do not have express permission to use.
Characters and Roleplay
1. Characters from Erin Hunter's books never existed here. You can make cats similar to them but they cannot be the actual characters.
2. DO NOT "auto"-injure, kill, grab or jump on someone else's character without that player's permission. This is called POWERPLAYING and people hate it.
3. Second languages, non-cats, and items in the store must be bought. {Exception: The Other Animals boards, where you can play other animals freely, and anywhere in Other Roleplay/Free roleplay.} Do not use powerful non-cats as allies with cats to give them an unfair advantage. Cat and non-cat alliances must be cleared with staff.
4. You can't create a leader, deputy, medicine cat or medicine apprentice for any of our official Clans. {The official Clans and groups are the ones listed on the boards on the front of the site.}
5. Blind cats cannot be warriors.
6. ALL Threads are OPEN to EVERYONE unless they say closed!
7. You can only play YOUR characters, not other people's. This includes leaders and medicine cats.
8. Cats must be realistic--no magic, psychic powers, wings, rainbow colours or other fantasy or unrealistic abilities. Unrealistic threads get moved to our fantasy/alt roleplay boards.
9. Don't make your character super powerful, or dodge everything. {This is called GODMODING.} In a fight, you are going to get hurt! If you are outnumbered, RUN.
10. You CAN make as many characters as you want. You can also adopt them from other people!
