Sup guys.
This one here isn't as big or formal as the others, just a few house keeping rules that I think everyone should know.
First Rule
Okay, we've gone through the member list and noticed there is a large, large number of accounts made with nothing done with them. I know that quite a few have been made recently and those will be an exception to this new rule. After today, and until all those characters have been made, this rule applies.
Only one account can be made at a time and until this account have become a sorted character, only then can you make another account for another new character
It's ridiculous looking at how many untouched accounts sit there once people forget about them and I personally, along with other Admin, don't see the point in having all these accounts sitting there while you only work on one at a time.
Second Rule
So this brings me to the next rule. Because of this absurd amount of character making then doing nothing with them, we also have a lot of face claims on the list who aren't actually characters which is unfair to others who want to use them. So from now one:
You can use a face claim on an application, but until that application is sorted, you cannot post on the face claim page with a request. No face claim will be sorted until a character is sorted.
This just makes things easier for us and for other people so that face claims on the list are only the ones actually in use. If someone else gets there before you finish sorting your application, that's tough.
And lastly
This isn't a rule, this is something I want to try. It's a new concept to the site and I don't want it to overtake threads or anything of the sort. It's just a bit of fun and if it doesn't work I will take it down.
If you look over to the top left of the side column, you'll notice the bottom line of the link box called 'Bathroom Wall'. If you click on it (in a new tab) it will take you to a website which is entirely blank apart from my small owners box.
Now the aim of this, is for IN CHARACTER things to be written on the walls. It's totally anonymous so you don't have to reveal what character you're in and it's not just for students, it's for absolutely any character.
It is not a place for RPing, it is a place for comments to be made and people to reply to those comments in an anonymous fashion, hence the name bathroom wall because that's what happens in there.
If it gets out of hand, people start getting offended or deleting things that they didn't write just because they don't like it, I will take it down.
If something is said about your character that you don't like, reply in your character, don't get angry. I cannot emphasise how much of an IN CHARACTER thing this is.
ALSO if I find any comments that are about the people on this site, not the characters, it will be off and I'll hunt down whoever did it. Okay? Okay good. Now go have fun!
Oh and just an idea, you can also form lists on there such as Hottest couple, cutest friendship, hottest seventh year and stuff like that where people can put who they think and others can comment. Just for you guys to get the idea, this is an example of another sites one.
Here we go
So have fun kiddies! Remember the rules and yeah!
