01. Respect is vital. This is the most important rule that you will find here in the rulebook. and we truly cannot stress it enough! Remember that old quote from Bambi? "If you can't say something nice... don't say nothing at all"? Yeah, well let's make that our mantra, shall we? Rudeness and disrespect will not be tolerated in any form here. We aim to make this forum a friendly, welcoming environment, so let's just get along, hey!
02. Swearing is fine, so long as it is kept in moderation. We don't want to be hearing a curse every other word, so be reasonable.
03. "Chatspeak" should be kept off the site please. Abbreviations such as "lol", "g2g", "brb" and so on are the only exceptions to this rule, and these should only ever be used while Out of Character, never In Character.
04. Should you wish for your wolf to breed or mate, then you are free to do so, but please bare in mind that if your character is not an Alpha, then your pack leader may take issue with this! It is often wise to have your character approach the Alpha(s) IC and ask for permission, which may or may not be granted. Later, upon competition of a breeding thread, a PM should be sent to an Admin, who will work out the stats for your litter and post them up in the adoptions board.
05. This is a one account per character site that allows you to also have an Out of Character account should you chose. We do not limit how many characters you have but if an account has not made an IC post in 3 weeks without an away notice, the account will be deleted after a week's notice to the player.
ROLEPLAY
01. While there is no strict word-count here at Evermore, we do ask that you aim for a minimum of two good sized paragraphs for each In Character post. It may also be a good idea to attempt to roughly mirror the amount written by the person roleplaying with you.
02. Godmodding and powerplaying are not accepted In Character, unless express permission is given by the other member involved. If you require definitions of these terms then please feel free to ask a member of staff. We will be happy to explain further.
03. Remember to proof-read and spell-check your posts before submitting them! We're expecting a decent level of literacy here. A few mistakes are understandable, but if a post is riddled with them, then you will be asked to edit.
04. We operates on something called liquid time. This means that your character may be in any number of threads at once, so long as you are able to keep up with them all. You should have these arranged into some sort of order in your mind so that things remain as chronological as possible.
IMAGES
01. All images on the site must be stock, made with stock or you must have permission of the creator to use it. Stock images can be found on DeviantArt or Flickr. Some linearts or Wolf Makers allow you to use their images. Do not abuse this.
02. Avatar images are required to be 135 pixels wide and 200 pixels tall. Signiture images may not exceed 500 pixels wide and 300 pixels tall. Posting tables may not exceed 500 pixels wide, they may not be any thinner than 400 pixels.
03. Any violation of stock rules could get the site shut down and if you are found in knowing violation of it, serious action could be taken againt you. Please, we beg you, do not do it. Googling an image is a direct violation of the stock rules.
