BASIC RULES
1. BE NICE I shouldn’t have to say this, but I suppose that this should be the number one rule on the site. This goes for everyone, members and admin alike. If someone on the site is being mean to you, link us to the thread where they are being rude, or contact one of us, and we’ll solve the problem. Otherwise, everything should go smoothly. Respect for everyone fits in here too. If you don’t agree with their opinions, then at least acknowledge their point of view, and get off the subject before it gets rough.
2. NO SEXUAL CONTENT Please, we don’t want to see this. It’s not just our rule, its Proboards. If you want to continue the thread elsewhere, please, take it somewhere other than the public boards. This goes for all the species we include.
3. LIMITED CURSING Personally, I know that it gets difficult, especially if you have a character with a colorful vocabulary. Try your best to limit it though. We like to keep the site open for all ages.
4. NO SPAMMING No one likes spam. This includes, but is not limited to: Replying to threads with smiley faces, double posting in threads and the Cbox (This doesn’t count if you are finishing a statement. We know there is a limit of characters per reply), and so on. Blizzard will patrol this area, so watch out.
5. ACTIVITY For your awareness, in order to keep the site cleaned up, any member joined that has not posted a character application within the month of their registering will be considered inactive. Their account will automatically be deleted. In addition, FourClans will have simple activity checks every once in awhile (most likely biannually or seasonally).
6. HAVE FUN Its what we’re made for. Relax and enjoy yourself here~
ROLEPLAYING RULES
1. LITERACY LEVEL Here on FCV2, we are a Semi-literate level roleplaying community. We like our members to be able to post at least a five WELL WRITTEN sentence reply, if not more. Well written does not mean “Her fur was soft and brown.”; It means, “Her pelt was soft and silky and was the color of the bark of the trees that surrounded them.” It looks much nicer the second way, and it makes what you wrote look longer. A good rule of thumb is that if you can’t think of a five sentence reply, your partner probably can’t either.
2. ASSIGNMENTS Monthly or Bimonthly assignments will be given in each clan, pack, and human area. It must be turned in before the next assignment is due. There will be a special board for you to put them in each clan, and you and your partner must title it “Mo/yr assignment: You and your Partner’s name” so it is easy for us to find. While we’d like it completed, as long as you’ve gotten into your thread with the plot and plan to continue it, we’ll accept that. We also accept picture submissions in place of written ones, but it has to be pertaining to the given plot of your clan.
Each character must have an assignment turned in for them to receive their credit for the month. If you have twelve characters, then we expect twelve assignments. We are lenient here, and if you feel that you need a little more time, or something happened and you lost all your progress, then we’ll work with you
3. CHARACTER LIMIT You may have an unlimited number of cat characters, as long as you keep up with them. Any without turned-in assignments will have a strike against them. Three strikes and that character will be removed from the site due to inactivity.
4. POWERPLAYING & GODMODDING Powerplaying (controlling another character without the creator saying they did whatever action) and God moding (making your character “godly” by being able to dodge attacks every time, and killing an enemy in one shot, and other ridiculous things) are strictly forbidden. Report this problem if you see it.
5. DEATH & BIRTH No. You may not make your character spontaneously get pregnant or kill someone else’s character without their/our permission. Spontaneous pregnancy doesn’t just happen. It takes two to tango. We’d like you have a real character be the father (with the creator’s permission). If it is in your character’s past, we may allow them to start off pregnant, or to already have children. As for death, you need to get permission, and put in the death thread that the character’s owner of the cat has given you permission to kill their character.
6. REALISTIC As unbelievable as the concept we’re working with is, we want it to seem realistic. No cats that can turn into humans, and no dogs that can speak human without the assistance of a device (if even that) and no firebreathing dragons unless otherwise specified. It just doesn’t make sense.
CHARACTER RULES
1. FILL OUT/KEEP UP WITH THE APPLICATION There is a detailed explanation with how to fill out the applications on each Application. There are some spaces that will be filled out as your character develops relationships and skills, so check back often. (Password Phrase: "The springs did not serve any actual purpose.")
2. KEEP TRACK OF CHARACTERS Remember the number of characters you have and keep them active.
3. NAMING & DESIGN Keep your naming reasonable. We don’t want any cats named like My Little Pony Characters. If it is a nickname, then that is acceptable. For those with apprentices/kits, the leader will, after collaborating with you and getting your opinions, assign your character a warrior name. Those designing Warriors may be able to make their own names, but there needs to be an explanation with how they got that name though.
4. ADAPTIONS Our site quirk is that our characters have had to adapt themselves to their living conditions and have acquired odd traits (Informational Thread Here)
PoP & STAFF RULES
1. POPs Positions of Power (PoPs) will only be given out to active members who can organize the clan boards well and work with others well. Leader PoPs will be able to pick their own deputies and medicine cats will be able to pick their own apprentice out of those who apply, if they want one. However, these choices must be approved by admin first (who will be pretty lenient about this).
You may have only two PoPs if you are active. High positions are as follow.
2. FAVORITES We're not going to play the stupid favorites game. We WILL NOT, under ANY circumstances make someone an admin or give them a PoP only because they are nice. We will give it to them because they are competent and deserve it. We will all give our opinions on who gets the next open PoP/Admin position, and then there will be an anonymous vote, since we want to be fair here.
3. ACTIVITY While we encourage everyone to log in daily, we are especially strict with the Admin here. Admin must log in every 3 days if they have not posted about an extended absence. If you do not log in and are an admin, you are subject to being demoted without warning. Don't worry too much. We are very free here, and if you are demoted and have a reasonable excuse, we may give you your powers back.
NOTE: These rules are subject to change at any time. Last updated by Oakey (9/24/13).
