There aren't many rules here on SIMW. Honestly, if you don't know how to rp than you shouldn't be here in the first place. All of the basic rules apply here. Follow them and you'll do fine. XD
1. Please do not make your posts a different color. The layout may change so it may not match in the future.
2. Please do not start 1000 open threads and then complain that no one joins you. At any one time there shouldn't be more than five threads with your character in it. Things get confusing if there are more.
3. Please don't start threads just to start one. I know that sounds strange coming from an admin who wants activity, but seriously, if you're only posting to say you posted something the thread will surely die. Have a reason for starting a thread. The reason doesn't have to be mind blowing, but go in it with a goal.
4. Please do not harass other members to post. If in 48 hours that person hasn't posted or hasn't given you a reason for not posting feel free to PM that person. Be polite about it. XD
5. Please no arguing with the admin. If you are angry about anything we have done tell us in a calm manner. I'm pretty down to earth and lenient about most things, but if you PM me with an attitude I will treat you the same way.
6. Please keep graphics medium sized. All signatures must not stretch the page. I believe rp has gotten to the point where graphics are a big deal. Do not get offended if your siggy is removed because it is too big. Simply resize it and move on.
7. It's not required that you have an avatar, but it's encouraged. Writers like to visualize the person they are writing for. It helps with the creative process.
8. Because proboards is being strict about adult content we will be as well. Fade to black is your friend. Kissing, touching, hand holding is welcome and even encouraged (if used moderately). If you must write a detailed sex scene do it elsewhere.
9. These rules will change. I come up with something new when the need arises. Please keep an eye out. And, if you only read this looking for a secret phrase you've wasted your time. There's no secret phrase, but it's nice that you read the rules anyway. XD Happy rping!
10. Have fun!
