Rules

[«Cardinal System»]

Here in Seraph RP, we want everybody to enjoy themselves and have a good time. Due to this, we set up rules that are easy to follow. Failure to follow the rules will result in getting your warning bar docked and you may possibly be banned. However, these rules are simple and easy to follow. 

I. Behavior

1. Respect: Please be respectful to everybody on the site, whether it is a member, staff, or even a guest. We understand that you may not like everybody on the site, but at least show some respect. Intentional insults, rude/inappropriate remarks, and discrimination are not tolerated. 
   
2. Profanity: Mild swearing is allowed, but please refrain from swearing every other word. Some people prefer not to be exposed to such content. Heavy use of profanity will not be tolerated. 
   
3. Flaming: Avoid having flame wars on the site. Debates are fine, so long as no one gets hurt. Any kind of flaming will not be tolerated. 
   

II. Account

1. Username: Your username should be your character's name. It should not contain any symbols or numbers. The name must also be real and not something like "leethaxors" or something along those lines. If you want your username changed, please ask staff. 
   
2. Alts: You are permitted to have as many alternate characters as you like (so long as they are active). 
   
3. Face Claim: A Face Claim is your character's appearance. It must be an artwork, so no real life pictures. Please stick to anime/manga. You cannot take another person's face claim. If your face is already taken, please take another one. 
   
4. Avatar: Your avatar must be a picture of your face claim. The size of an avatar is 150x300. Please refrain from having an inappropriate avatar. 
   
5. Signature: You may only have one visible image on your signature exceeding no more than 500x150 pixels. If you are found to have a signature that does not fit these requirements, your entire signature will be removed and possibly disabled. If you have images larger than that, keep them in a spoiler. 
   
6. Revamping: It is not possible to revamp your character. If you want to try something else, create a new account. 
   

III. Chatbox

1. Advertising: There shall be no advertising in the chatbox. Do not speak about or post up links to any other RP site even if it is an affiliated one. Do not do this through Private Messages as well. If someone is found to be advertising through PMs, they will have their warning docked and in some cases, will even be banned.
   
2. Instigating: Do not instigate arguments. It will be looked down upon by staff and can even get you banned from the chatbox.
   
3. Language: The official language of the forum is English. Speaking another language is prohibited. If you want to have a private conversation, take it to the private message.
   
4. Complaints: If you have a complaint about a particular member and you want to notify staff, please take a screenshot and send it to staff so they can review it and take action.
   

IV. Staff

1. Respect: As Staff, we want to create a fun environment for everybody to roleplay in. Please respect our decisions. If you have a problem with a decision of a particular staff member, contact an Administrator.
   
2. Approvals: Do not bug a staff member to look at your stuff. They reserve the right to deny any application, so if you bug them too much, that might just happen. Please keep in mind that they are not robot monkeys that constantly work. They are human.
   
3. Rules: Only Admins reserves the right to make amendments to the rules at any time for any reason, and you accept those changes, whether you are aware of them or not.
   
4. Elasticity: Staff reserves the right to exert their power when it is necessary and proper.
