-A Few Basic Rules-

[Devil's Advocate]

Here are a few rules to make life easier for everyone on the site. Not all of them are rules, some of them are just information. Regardless, follow/listen to them all. Okay, it's not a few. But read them. Or we will have some problems.

On a side note, I'm not writing freaking rules saying "don't harass" that's just common sense. If we think you're being a jerk. You're leaving. Use common sense.

1.) Please use the character bio format we made. It will make it so much easier for Hawky to check them effectively and swiftly. And of course, the faster the better!

2.) Don't use names from the Warriors books for the cats you make, be creative! If you name a character something, and the name is used later in the series, it is okay. You can keep the name. Also, generally try to keep them to stuff cats would know. If you want an exception, just ask a staff member.

3.) When posting, please use proper grammar and spelling. It will be much easier if you wrote something like "We are going to go hunting in the forest tonight." instead of "we r g2g hunting 2night." And use appropriate language.

4.) Please don't double post. That means posting twice without anyone posting in between. Don't do that.

5.) Your she-cat can only have up to 6 kits. If she has 6 then 1 might not be able to survive and it is rare for a litter of 5 to to survive, but it is possible. Be sure to ask an admin about large litter sizes if they're okay or not.

6.) No godmoding or powerplaying!!! This includes killing another person's cat without permission. (You may ask permission of the other roleplayer if you need to godmod a little, but don't ever do it without asking.)

7.) This site is intermediate-advanced roleplaying! Please do not come here if you have not read the series, or have no clue how to roleplay, teaching puts a strain, but we do try to teach if we can.

8.) We have a 150 WORD MINIMUM. If your cat is having a conversation with someone else's they can be a bit shorter than average, but still not under 150 words. You're unable to make posts that are under 150 words on most boards, the boards not affected by this are those under the categories: Community, Characters, and Rules and Information.

9.) When you make your cat, please make your cat according to the cats clan description.

10.) If an admin thinks you are being rude do NOT argue with him or her, be respectful and courteous of every member here at all times, especially admins!

11.) Each admin leads a clan.
Reedclan-Devil's Advocate (Zoe)
Moonclan-Hawkeyes
Sunclan-Wicket/Wolffur
Duskclan-Speckledtail

That admin will always lead that clan. The way a new leader is chosen, is not via deputy. But instead, when the leader dies, in their last words they MUST state who will be leader after, or attempt to leave a sign. (The cat chosen must be played by that admin.)

12.) If you quit, leave, or are banned. Unless otherwise specified by you, your cats will go up for "adoption" to be used by other members to roleplay with. For more information, click here.

13.) No detailed mating. Not even in private messaging, this is a PG-13 site.

14.) Please be active. All of you. But those with high positions (admins, mods, medicine cats, deputies etc) need to be especially active.

15.) If anyone creeps you out or makes you feel uncomfortable, message a staff member about it. We do not allow harassment of any kind on here.

16.) We don't give a shit if you curse.

17.) I really suggest you be over the age of 15 before joining (we have some conversations about politics, religion, it's PG-13 but a lot of 13 year olds are not super mature). Also you shouldn't join if you're easily offended, dramatic, or attention-seeking. You can be under 15 that's fine, but I suggest you be over that age. If you're mature for your age, we will be the judge of that. This site is PG-13 though.

18.) If we suggest you leave because we think this site might not be for you, please take it into consideration. Reasons we might say this are: you're immature, you're offended easily, or you're starting drama. Speaking of which...

19.) ABSOLUTELY NO DRAMA. If you cause any sort of drama we WILL ban you. This is a nice drama free zone and has been so for about 5-6 years.

20.) We strongly discourage member dating. It causes drama. If you want to bring your partner here that's fine. We usually expect the person brought on here to leave if the relationship discontinues. We really don't want two recently broken up people here.

21.) Your cat can't win every fight. Yes we know you worked so freaking hard on that bio, but sometimes your cat's going to die. That's why we have StarClan. You can roleplay in StarClan. You get to keep your cat. For example, if your cat is up against a badger by itself, it's not going to kill it by itself. Don't do that. A badger versus a cat the cat generally dies. Be logical.

22.) If there are updates in how character bios work, please go and fix your bios accordingly to make things nice and uniform.

23.) We allow religious and political discussions here. They're fun. Just be mature or shut up. We (admins and mods) reserve the right to ask you not to partake in these conversations if you can't control yourself. Controversial topics are totally allowed. We're all mature here.

24.) Don't due mary sue/stu characters. If you want your cats to have special powers/unnatural eye colors/anything like that ask a staff member for approval first.
