Welcome one and all to Infected!
Time for those, oh so loved, rules.
Joining:[/u]
Do not sign-up for an account until after you have auditioned, and been accepted. If you do not adhere to this, the account you create will be deleted.
If your audition is accepted, be sure that after creating your account that you change your Display Name to your characters name.
Characters[/u]
Each member may create a maximum of three characters. Please note that all characters cannot be the same. (I.e. infected, scientist, or human.) Refrain from making your character perfect. Everyone has flaws, even imaginary people.
Respect:[/u]
On this site, respect is a very important issue, everyone is equal, no matter their user status. Do no harass your fellow members, or the guests for that matter. They have feelings to. (Psst! Plus, we want the to join us don't we?) Fights in OOC will not be tolerated, please report them to either the Admin, Co-Admin, or an Omni Mod.
Post Length:[/u]
All starter posts should range from 3+ paragraphs. After which no post should under one paragraph in length. Everyone has their off days, and that is understand able, but try not to make a habit of it.
Auto-Hitting and God-Modding:[/u]
For those of you who have never heard these terms.
Ex:
Jack walked up the hill, and Jill followed. <--- Note: Please do not post one liners on this site. This is just and example to help you grasp the concept of this term.
Well, say that the member playing Jill wasn't going to follow Jack, you had just assumed that is what Jill's intentions were. God-Modding is almost the same, but you take more control over the character, rather than just assuming a reaction.
DO NOT DO THIS!
OOC and IC Lurking:[/u]
Out of Character and In Character Lurking is encouraged. If you start a topic in the chatting section, be sure to specify which type of chat it is to avoid confusion among others.)
The Q & A Section:[/u]
The Q & A section of the forums is open to everyone. There, you can answer questions as well as post something you are confused about, or are having problems with. (Do not complain about members behaviors in this section. Contact the Admin, or Co-Admin for this.)
Advertising:[/u]
Do not post advertisements anywhere other than the advertising board. If I see that you have, your post will be deleted.
Absences:[/u]
Please notify staff if you will be gone from the site for an extended period of time.
Stay Active:[/u]
Even if you are unimaginative and uninspired, you can stay active by posting in the chatting section. I'm sure others on the site would like to know you as well as the characters you are playing.
Music Player:[/u]
If you are a member, you may suggest songs to be added into the music player. Once the play list reaches its maximum capacity of 100 songs, a new play list will be created and the two(or however end up being created) will be switched every week.
