As an admin, my job is not to contribut to the storylines, but to oversee the website and make sure everything runs smoothly. I will not rp but will check on the website weekly, if you have any problems private message me or create a thread in the suggestions to starClan board.
Overall Rules
1. Be respectful to all members. As in, no using language and topics that will make other users feel uncomfortable. I will not hesitate to ban a member for two hours, or more, if they decide to use inappropriate and disruptive behavior. I want this to be a safe site for everyone.
2. Don't go against what staff members have to say. They always have the right to punish you if you do.
3. Staff members will lose their positions if they violate or misuse their power
4. Don't get in fights with other members. If you do have a problem with another member, and you have to tell them something mean, take it to PMs.
5. Don't ask to be a staff member. You will be chosen by the admin to be staff members if they need more and they think that you will fit in the position.
6. Please don't use chatspeak in a story post, although it is allowed in the general boards. Chatspeak: lol, brb, omg etc and how r u?
7. Be active on this site. Get on as much as possible if you are on a quest or in a battle!
8. Powerplaying and godmoding are not allowed. There is an example of both in the other rule posts.
9. If you have to talk or make a comment when you are actually role playing, make sure you siginify you are no longer RPing, by writing ooc (out of character) or put your words inbetween brackets [ ].
10. Please don't carry on any grudge you have on a character on this site. We don't want any fights!
11. Write as much as you think you should in story boards. But anything you do write should have good quality and look like you put effort into it. It's not the length that matters, it's the content.
12. There is obviously no killing other members characters without their permission. If you want one of your characters to die, notify me.
13. Your character bio must be accepted, if there is a note on it, please change what it is that was noted and wait again to be accepted.
14. Please don't use color in story posts. It's okay to use in general threads, but in a story board it can get distracting.
15. Please only make as many characters as you can keep track of, roleplay the same amount as your other characters, and write a long, beautiful biography about. For me, that's only about three or four cats.
16. If you want to become leader of a Clan, you have to be able to be online often, keep track of Clan events and news, and attend every gathering. If you do want to become leader, PM (Personal Message) me, and tell me why you want to become leader, and what you wish to accomplish as leader.
When you are a leader, another responsibility is choosing a deputy. Make sure the person you pick is online often, and pleasant to talk to. Once you become a leader, fill the "Clan Information Guide" located in the Character/format board in Character Clan and Info. New leaders are allowed to re-fill out the Clan Information Guide.
17. If you decide to leave this site for good, please just don't disappear. Tell or PM me (post in Going Away) that you are leaving so I can keep the number of warriors in each Clan up-to-date. When you leave, please put your cats' bios in Character Adoption. If you don't want another person to play your cat, write a small post saying how and why they died so the Clan can hold a ceremony.
18. You must contribute to the story line, and not just reply to chat posts, etc. If you do not, your profile will be deleted.
19. No pirating WBM material. If we see you re-using thing made by staff or another member on another sight, your account will be deleted, and your positions lost.
20. High-ranking positions (Medicine cat, Deputy, and Leader) can only be for one member each. It wouldn't be very fun if the same person played every single high-ranking position, and we want others to have the opportunity to experience a leadership role.
As a reminder, I am an admin, my job is not to contribute to the storylines, but to oversee the website and make sure everything runs smoothly. I will not rp but will check on the website weekly, if you have any problems private message me or create a thread in the suggestions to starClan board.
Thanks,
