1. Respect Everyone!
We know IC your character may be disrespectful and hateful, but OOC you should remain respectful of and kind to your fellow writers. We do not tolerate Discrimination of any sort OOC.
2. We follow Proboards Terms of Service: We are a PG-13 site.
If you're not sure what PG-13 is, we encourage you to Google a PG-13 rating. Still not sure if the content you want to post falls under those guidelines? Then your best bet is to not post it at all.
We do not tolerate any of the following: Self-Mutilation, Suicide, Sexual Descriptions beyond Fade-to-Black, Eating Disorders, Extreme Gore or Violence beyond the PG-13 Rating, or Animal/Creature Violence beyond what was written in the Harry Potter Series.
We do not allow Student-Professor Romantic Relationships until a length of time deemed appropriate by Admin Staff; you may PM us to request details.
3. We do not tolerate Spamming
This means unwanted links in areas they do not belong, PMing members to join your own site, etc.
4. We are an Intermediate to Advanced Role Play Site.
We want you to succeed in your writing. If you feel we're too advanced, chances are we've been in your shoes and have felt or do feel the same way you do now, let us help you!
5. Role Playing
Do not God-Mode or Power Play
Do not format your posts beyond using Bold or Italicizes
Post in 3rd Person, Past Tense (just like the Harry Potter Series)
We follow ABC posting rules in threads with multiple Characters, meaning give everyone a chance to post rather than posting after every post
Posts should be at least 6 sentences minimum
6. Applications
Admin reserves the right to deny any proposed character. This denial can be based on your activity, special character requests, full rosters, or several other reasons, of which will be explained if a character is denied.
We do not allow Mary-Sues or Gary-Stu's. Flaws are actually fun and help shape your character.
Before applying with a Canon Character we require you to have and maintain at least one Original Character first.
7. Graphics
All images must follow the PG-13 guidelines, not be obscene, must be age appropriate for your character, and you should only be using the faces of those celebrities who want us to use their images (actors, actresses, athletes, musicians, etc. Not Youtubers)
Avatars should be no larger than 200x200, Signatures should be no larger than 150x500, and both must remain static
Links are welcome, as long as they follow the above rules
8. Absences
Leave of Absence - if you will be gone for a lengthy period of time but do not want to risk losing your character, please request an LoA. It will be granted for up to 6 months at one time.
Inactivity - if your character falls inactive on the site, we will place that character on an Inactivity Status, to which you must Role Play a full month before we're willing to move the character back into their previous Status. However, you will lose any special privileges that your character had previously, including: Prefect, Head Boy or Girl, Quidditch Captain, Professor, etc. The admin team reserves the right to ask for additional requirements in order to be removed from inactive status including, but not limited to: updating your biography, remaining on a probationary status for longer than one month, or reapplication to the site. The admin team also reserves the right to refuse the return of a character.
Deletion - your character is subject to deletion if your character falls completely inactive and we have not heard from you about a possible return. If your character has been deleted for 4 months, your character may not return to The New Ages and is subjected to having moved on in their life or be used to further the site plot.
