THE RULES !
Hello and Welcome everyone to, A Gathering Storm!! Like with any site, we have rules that we ask you to abide by. They are pretty straightforward, so I don't expect any hard times with anyone! staff will PM all members about any RULE changes. Those who break the rules will be given a warning first, and repeated rule breaking will lead to banning from the site if needed.
1.) Respect! It is extremely important that you respect everyone here, all members and staff members including any guests that come and visit the site. Disagreements are fine, and are to be expected in any kind of social interactions but, we ask you to be respectful of everyone. No harassing, bullying, or anything remotely related to those or close to them. This goes for the Cbox and discord as well!
2.) Face Claims! When it comes to Face Claims we accept all models, actors, and celebrities of those over the age of 13. GS does not allow you below a third year so you will not need anyone under 13. Please make sure not to use anime unless it is for your OOC account, and most importantly double check the face claim to ensure your selection is free!
3.) Activity! Real life comes first, we all have work, school, and families to take care of and among other things as well. That said we do ask you to try to stay active when you do join and if you will be absent for any reason to post in the absent board. We ask that you try to log in every day or at least every few days to all your accounts and post at least every two weeks. Activity checks will be held every two to three months depending on site activity.
4.) Posting/Word Count! We here at GS do not want you to feel like posting is a homework assignment or a job task. This is to be fun and as such we only ask that you stick to a 200-word count for your posts. We understand times our brains go dead and if you can't reach this from time to time we understand. Most importantly, we ask that you try to match the other posters length if possible.
5.) Characters! When it comes to characters, we are currently going to instill a 10 character max until further notice. You can make two characters right off the bat if you wish, and after that, we ask you have TWO IC posts for each of your characters before making a third or more. This is to ensure no one makes to many characters and is unable to handle them all.
6.) Graphics! we ask that all members have an avatar at least in their profile of there character(s) tHIS WILL NEED TO BE 200X400. Signatures are optional, and we ask they do not stretch the page. GIF images are allowed, just no flashing strobe lights or anything similar that could cause someone to have a seizure. (pLEASE NOTE WITH THE CURRENT SKIN, THE HOVER-PROFILE WILL NOT WORK FOR YOU IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN IMAGE,)
7.) Roleplaying! Here at GS, we post in third person, not first person. We also ask that you spell check your posts before posting them, we recommend using a Word Processor software when writing posts, or use Grammarly either free or paid edition which can work in the background for you on an internet browser.
8.) OOC Accounts! We do not require you to make an OOC account, but we do highly encourage it to help organize for plotting, and receiving PM's.
