Sorry everyone, but we have to have rules here in Halloweentown.
Let's see...
1. Please, no chat-speak. It makes it hard to understand when you say stuff like "u no, i luv u 2 jak and i hate u stoopid mayr so shut ^ and leev." Please, let's have none of that. And no 1337. Some of don't know how to read it, and it's irritating. Save it for IMs, not roleplay boards.
2. Please use proper punctuation and grammar. I know, we're all human, so it's okay to make a mistake once in a while. Just try your best to be semi-literate, okay?
3. Be polite. We don't want to chase anyone off, not even the Mayor. Not everyone may agree, but try to be polite.
4. Unless your character can make perfect living copies of themselves, don't make them be in two places at once. Have you ever tried it? It's very hard to do, trust me.
5. Please, no begging to become a mod. If I feel you are worthy, I'll PM you and ask if you would like to be a mod, okay? NO. BEGGING.
6. If you're upset with someone, please PM them and work it out. Don't drag the whole site into it or you'll be banned for a while.
7. NO SPAM. What is spam, you ask? It's Simple Pointless Annoying Messages. AKA one-word posts, posts that don't contribute to the discussion of a thread, random letters like this: nrf9ug4o3hb. It's usually only done to either be annoying or raise post counts.
8. Please, no "bump"-ing. Sure, we'd all like to Bring Up My Post count, but it's really annoying, and a waste of space.
9. Do not, DO NOT, use giant signatures that stretch the page and make people scroll forever. If you want to see a good example of a decent sized siggie, please see Shock's. Breaking this rule repeatedly can earn you a banning.
10. Please use common sense. That would be a very good thing to do.
11. Barrel will not tolerate fighting. Take it to PMs or cut it out. I know, this is the same as rule 6, but it's that important.
**A NOTE FROM THE ADMIN:
APPARENTLY, not everyone's out of third grade. I know I'm not excluded from that. But seriously guys. Be nice to each other. Use your brain, you have it for a reason. Just because something's not on here doesn't mean you should do it. I can't type up every little thing not to do because that would make this a freakin' NOVEL. Please, PLEASE, be courteous to others. I really don't like it when I come back from doing homework and find a freakin' FIGHT. EVER. I don't care who starts something, it'll gonna end somehow. Please, if something happens while I'm absent, REFER TO RULES 11 AND 6. Thank you.**
Thanks!
Edit: Took out "69" ~Lock
Edit: Added new rule, #9. ~Shock
