Rules & Regulations

RULES

Rules were made to be read and followed. Every single member is expected to read them when they first join Unsheathed Claws. When a rule is broken, there will be consequences. The concequences depend on the severity of the rule violation. For example, the first time you powerplay you will be given a warning message. The second time, you will receive a warning bar for a month. 

--> Account avatars should be 200x200. Signatures, if you do decide to have one, they should be no more than 600x400. This is due to the fact that it may cause slower computers to take very long to load.

--> To prevent having to log out and login to every single character account you made to make a post,  you will only have one account. Your account's name will be your screen name not your real name. 

--> Inappropriate language will not be tolerated if it's directed at someone else. Infact you are only allowed to use the warrior cat swears during rp. [Ex. Mousedung, Toadbrain, etc]

--> Respect your fellow roleplayers. I will not tolerate name calling, bullying, harassment or anything that falls into those lines. Unsheathed Claws is a safe place and I'd like it to remain that way. Politics and anything that may offend others shall not be spoken of. 

--> Unsheathed Claws is a semi-literate rp. You will be expected you write a paragraph or more for each of your rp posts. Proper parapgraphs with proper puncuation and grammar. Yes I know, we all make mistakes but that's why the edit button is there. 

--> I do not want to see any godmodding or powerplaying. Powerplaying is when your character is too powerful and never takes a hit in a fight. Godmodding is when you are controlling the other roleplayer's character. 

--> I'm hoping that fights and arguments will not happen. If you have a problem with another member then message me with a screenshot of what has happen. The issue will be taken into my hands and hopefully be solved. 

--> A cat name can only be used once, if a name is taken it will be listed on the taken names list. Adding on to the subject of names, please spell names like this [Ex. Finchwing] not this. [Ex: FinchWing] The suffix should not be a capital.

--> Yes you may use non canon prefixes as long as you think that the cat would know what the prefix means. A prefix such as "Pancake" and "Chair" may not be used because cats do not know what those are.

--> KItten births and mating shall not be roleplayed due to the fact that it may make some people uncomfortable. Two cats also may only have kittens if they had two threads together. 

--> Every month there will be an activity check that will run for a week. You must comment filling out the form that is provided. For roleplayers that own a highrank will be expected to make a post at least three posts a month (with their highrank) in order to pass the activity check. If you miss an activity check, don't worry your account will only be marked "Inactive" and if you want to come back messsage me to remove you from the inactive group. If you going to be away for a bit, make a post in Hiatus sub-board and you will not loss your highrank position/be placed into the inactive group


--> Roleplayers that have a highrank character must remain active. Inactivity will result in the loss of your high rank.

--> Highranks will be auditioned for in the highrank auditions thread. I will chose the person who's character would fit the rank more.

--> Do not spoil the books for anyone who hasn't read that far yet. If you are going to talk about them in the discussion board, add "spoilers for [insert book name]" in the title.

--> I understand that warriors aren't exactly "peaceful" and "non violent" but no extreme violence or gore will be allowed on the site.

--> Avatars have to be free images or your own drawings. [Copyrighted images may not be used] You may not use other people's work without their permission and if you do get permission, you must give credit to the artist.

--> Do not advertise your site in any board except for it's own board. If I have already advertised this site on your forum then your advertisement goes into the "strike back" board.

--> Impersonation will not be tolerated in any sort. This includes pretending to be another member, impersonating a highrank in rp, etc.
