1.) respect is a great way to get on everyone's good side here at persuasion. it brings a small smile to our faces, and will take you a long way. we pride ourselves in being a friendly site, but we will not tolerate any disrespect or heavy dispute. if a problem comes forward, please contact an admin. let's not act like we're fighting over who gets to use the wii next, everyone.
2.) originality is a must. please do not steal anything, or there will be serious consequences. we do not tolerate any stealing. this includes the act through means of applications, graphics, and etc. it isn't hard to ask and then credit, let alone create your own ideas.
3.) keep advertising to the advertising boards only. we encourage you to share your own creations with us, but don't go posting links in the cbox, through pm, or boards. it simply annoys everyone - especially admin.
4.) please keep all posts at size zero to one. decorations are understandable and exceptional, but please don't post in size two and above fonts. also refrain from posting in complete color. bright pinks and turquoises may be pretty, but they can be distracting and can clash with the current skin. this does not include quotes and spoken words.
5.) do not consistently bother somebody to post. reminders are fine, but we all have lives to deal with and other tasks to complete! give each other some time to post. muse can be a bitch sometimes, take this into consideration as well. likewise, don't waste somebody's time with a thread you are never going to reply to. it's unfair and rude.
6.) if you are going to take a leave of any kind, please report to the absence boards and post detail there as to when you will be back again and when you are leaving. we would hate to have to delete you because you become inactive for no reason at all, and we must only assume what we can about it. this means we would gather that you've quit without a word, and therefore your play-by would be back up for grabs and your account deleted. so, to avoid all of this, please post in the absence boards when you are going away!
A U D I T I O N S
1.) for every two female characters, you must have a male. i think we all understand how hard it is to keep the gender ratios even if we don't have some sort of restriction, so there it is.
2.) you may have as many characters as you want. however, if the admin feel that you are not keeping them all active, we may deny your request for another. this means, yes, keep all of your characters active.
3.) celebrities and some band members only to portray your character. we are pretty lenient when it comes to faces, but let's be realistic - we wouldn't see hanna beth and audrey kitching running around a place like this. myspace, facebook, and people from buzznet are usually not the best choice when it comes to play-bys. also, be realistic about the age. reese witherspoon cannot portray a nineteen-year-old. it simply does not work.
4.) please use one character per account, everything is much less confusing that way.
5.) it would be most appreciated if you would keep your character's first and last name as your display name. also please avoid placing any symbols in your display name. for example: anthony christopher miller.
6.) we base your application almost solely on the roleplay sample, so if you wish to be accepted at persuasion, fill out the required fields and provide an accurate, detailed post. in other words, the very best you can do.
P O S T I N G
1.) third person only, please and thank you. this does not includes means of communication through aim and phones.
2.) this is a realistic life role-play, so we all understand that there will be sex, drugs, and alcohol. if you can't handle it, then don't join. we do ask, however, that you tag your r - rated boards with an [r], and refrain from going into too much detail. getting the point across is easy without being explicit or gaudy.
3.) pregnancy may appear in plot lines, and we understand this. we really don't want babies turning up everywhere, though, so if your plot includes a pregnancy scare leading to a child, or anything of the sort, please contact an admin and we will determine the date of birth, gender, and health condition of your baby, as it is realistic.
4.) do not stretch the board with images under any circumstances. ideally the width of your image should not exceed than 420px.
G R A P H I C S
1.) all accounts should have a signature and 100x100 avatar. do not stretch the boards. if you're having any trouble making a signature (we understand that some of us just aren't talented in this field of work), ask an admin and they will be more then happy to make you one.
2.) thank you for reading all of our rules, and we would love to have you join us here at persuasion.
