1. I'll respect the staff members and their decisions. If they are rude to me, I am allowed to talk to another Mod, or the Admin.
2. Everyone has their own opinions and their own views in the world. You are not to make fun of what people think and feel, and there should be no hate threads.
3. Double posting is only allowed under these circumstances: no one has posted in that thread for over a month, or it's a penpal thread and the person has been absent from it for five days. However, it would be better if you PM'ed them.
4. Using colors, fonts, and font sizes that are hard to read, or bright, are not allowed as they make reading posts difficult, and some colors may provoke seizures. If you have a font that is difficult to see, you will be asked to change it.
5. If you asked for a review, you are putting your story in the hands of writers who may be more experienced than you are. Respect everything they say, and do not get angry at them if they say something you don't want to hear.
6. Karma (or what ever you call them) are a way for people to show their appreciation or annoyance with a person. Excessive use of both giving and taking is not allowed, and you will answer to the Admin or a Staff member if you do.
7. English should be used on all forums unless stated otherwise by both members in a penpal thread.
8. Cursing or any kind of foul language is also not allowed unless it's a penpal thread and both members have no issue with it. However, it would be nice if you refrained from cursing, as there is no age restrictions on this site.
9. Under no circumstance will posts supporting drugs, underage drinking, alcohol, sex, profanity, or porn will be allowed anywhere. Same goes for violence, smoking, bullying, or peer pressure.
10. You are only allowed one account. If more than one account is made without permission of the Admin, you will be temporarily banned.
11. Signatures cannot be too large. Preferably, 600x300 (width by height. Basically, the picture is longer than it is tall) is the maximum unless you have permission from the Admin. Also, the picture and words cannot be anything that would be rated over PG.
12. There are extra rules for certain boards. Be sure to check for them if you join those boards.
13. People have lives. Please respect that they can't spend all their time here and they may not reply to a post immediately.
14. If you come from TMB, know that we are not allowed to copy anything from there, so if you have a suggestion, please don't suggest something from that site.
15. Spam is not allowed. No exceptions. It's annoying and pointless.
16. Only penpals and the Mods are allowed to post in their penpal threads. No exceptions.
17. If you have a problem with a member, please try to solve it civilly. If it's not working, please contact a Mod or the Admin and we will try to help. However, we may not be able to.
18. Do not ask a Mod or Admin about technical things about the site. They will not be answered.
19. If you leave a review, it must be at least 400 characters. Not words, characters. Please clearly state your actual opinion and don't just say nice things. Everyone can use some sort of improvement.
20. This forum is a place for writers to come together and talk. Have fun, improve their writing. This should be a place where everyone is accepted, and it should have a nice, welcome atmosphere. Please respect this.
21. Advertising another site in a public thread (aka, not a penpal thread) or a PM is not allowed, it's a form of spamming.
Please sign the rules here.
