General Rules of TTS
Understand and Obey--
Welcome to Teen Titans Syndrome! We are a Teen Titans (Animated Series) and DC Cartoons site! Our rating is PG-13! If your reading this then know that you are on the right track! This thread is simply for the general rules of the site. Breaking the rules can result in suspension from the boards or a Ban depending on the severity, so make sure you read these!
The Code Word For Your Application is in this section
0. First and foremost we decided to explain this first as a warning and understanding. Teen Titans Syndrome is PG-13. So due to Proboards ToS We refuse to put a Mature board out of safety for the site. Please understand this is to keep TTS from being deleted! Proboads is VERY stern on their rules! If you need to truly act it out than move it to PMs. In threads please turn it to Fade to Black, there is no need to explain what you did. We thank you for understanding.
I. Respect the Staff and other members!
Seriously. respect is important- it shows who will like you or trust you. Disrespecting someone because of race, gender, or any other cruel reason will only cause you to be disrespected as well! Please, to enjoy TTS to the fullest please be respectful to EVERYONE. We're not telling you to be saints, but at least tolerate others.
II. No- Trolling, racism, or Harassment towards anyone!
Trolling- Pretty self explanatory- Don't go off spamming just because you are "bored" or want attention. It will only anger people and most likely have you banned for a day. Do it again and it's banning for a week! If it continues then you will be Perma-Banned. We do NOT tolerate trolls.
Racism- Here on TTS we do not care what your background is, who you are, what race, gender, or sexual orientation you have. On this site we are all equal, if you have anything against peoples beliefs, ideals, or way of life then DEAL WITH IT. We do NOT tolerate cruelty just because they seem "different" to you. Breaking this rule will be banned for One Month. Continue it when you return and you WILL be Perma-Banned.
Harassment- We at TTS do not enjoy harassment as much as anyone else does. If you find yourself harassed by a member of the site, please contact staff immediately! DO NOT handle it yourself! It can only cause more problems! Let staff handle it, and staff will deal with the offender. Harassment is a no-no here on TTS, and thus punishable by a temporary banning, and if it excels a Perma-ban.
III. Please read the background information before you ask questions. Also, don't join unless you are sure you want to stay. It's kind of annoying when you have to delete inactive accounts, or the accounts of people who change their minds. The first part of the code is state your characters name. Guests, feel free to ask questions, but once you sign up, we expect you to have read all of this information.
IV. When you sign up, you can use whatever name you want. You can reserve a character on the canons thread, and you must change your display name later on to and only to the name of your character. Not it's real name, but it's hero / villain name.
V. Within a week of your character being accepted, please have some kind of visual of your character. An avatar, or sig would be great. yes, we all know what the titans look like, but a visual is basically necessary. That said, avatars should be 100x100, and signatures should be 600x350 or less no exceptions. Also consider that no real PBs are allowed.
VI. Bios will be checked over carefully, and all areas must be filled out. This includes sample posts. Only one staff member needs to approve your bio. Please make sure to check your bio in a timely manner. Also, please, do not bug the staff about checking your bios. If a staff member is on, one statement should be made about a bio being finished in the c-box. We will get to it, promise. We want to play with you as much as you want to play,we promise! DO NOT applicate for characters from other canons except the ones allowed in the canon list please. Even if your character is original, we can't accept them if it's mixed with another canon. This is DC only canon characters. You can use anime characters to base them off and as reps.
VII. There is no fighting or competitions over characters. If someone has a character reserved, please do not ask if you can "compete" for said character. The answer is no.
VIII. Character limits. There is a limit of two characters per user, until they've made at least 25 IC posts for each character, then you are allowed a third. If you want to apply for more, please talk to an admin. We will give you permission depending on how often you use your characters. So...Be active! Also, you may take only one of the five original titans, or Terra. Or else it wouldn't be fair to others.
IX. In order to keep the genders somewhat even, We request that if your first two characters are the same gender, then your third should be the opposite. For every two of the same, We require one of the opposite.
X. There is no word count. However, we do ask that you are literate, and will give our members something to reply to. This is a place to learn, so even if you start off with one paragraph, as long as someone can reply to it, it's okay. That being said, you don't need a whole paragraph to describe how blue your character's eyes are. So please don't attempt to do so.
XI. At least two IC posts a week to be considered active. If two weeks pass, and there is no absence notice, then you will be put on a warning list. Two weeks after that, your character will be taken and put up for adoption. There is nothing more annoying then an important character being abandoned. Really. Canons will probably be taken quickly, and there is a high likelihood that you will not get them back.
XII. . Grammar is good. Grammar is your friend. And Spell Check is amazing. The Second part of the code is backwards. There is nothing more annoying or painful to read then a error-ridden post. If you aren't good with grammar and spelling, and you know this, do us all a favor and type up your posts in a word processor before posting them up.
XIII. We the staff, have the right to deny canon characters if we deem them unfit for the Roleplay. If you do not agree with the deny of the character please take it up with one of the staff. Please be civil about it we don't want a immature shouting fest over the reason 'Why can't I play Doomsday' or something of that matter. We will explain to you WHY you're character was denied, please leave it that. If not we may be forced to suspend you.
XIV. Who said thirteen was a lucky number? Here's Number fourteen! Congrats on making it this far! This last rule may be as important as respect: Have fun! That's why we are here, and that's why we hope you are too! Enjoy TTS!
[Note* Rules are subject to change if necessary by Staff!]
