Hello, guests, members, and staff. Before you continue on there are a few rules that we would like you to go over. These are in place for a reason and that is to make it a safe and comfortable place for everyone.
1. WoZ is rated PG 13. Meaning we do not allow those under 13 to join. For the reason that we have blood and gore on this site. Sensual scenes are to be faded to black. No detail of the act is to be explained. This is also part of Proboards Terms.
2. Here, on WoZ, we ask that you respect others. If something between you and other members is going amiss, please tell the admins or get the conflict resolved yourselves. The Admins are willing to help within reason, but please remember that this is a game in the first place. Conflicts between characters are alright, but any offense to your actual self is not. If such bullying is happening, please contact the Admins immediately.
3. If the Admins ask you to do or remove something, please do it. Being caught deliberately not doing something will get you a temporary suspension from the site altogether. The length of suspension depends on the severity of the punishment.
4. Label your threads, please. It is a common and confusing problem when someone doesn't label their threads. For those who do not know what such things mean, here are some examples:
- Hello There [Open]: This is telling anyone who wishes to reply to your thread that they are welcome. Threads such as these can have as many characters in them as they wish.
- Hello There [Closed]: Maybe there are too many in your thread and you wish to let others know that they may not participate in this particular thread. Labeling it 'closed' means no more people are allowed to join in. If one is seen doing so when it is clearly labeled, the admins will contact the person and handle it themselves.
- Hello There [Sally]: This means that only Sally is allowed to reply to this thread. Everyone else is unwelcome unless there name is also added within the brackets. There can be multiple people that this thread is reserved for.
5. WoZ is a literate site. We do not accept one or two sentences as a reply. All paragraphs must have a minimum of ten sentences each. If less than what the rule states is given, you will be PM'd your post by the Admins and it will be deleted off of the thread for inadequacy.
6. Any usernames that are created for your character must be actual names. None of the 'crazygirl876'. It is allowed before joining, we can understand that not everyone is sure at first. After joining, your username must be changed to your character's first name.
7. For the sake of the other members' eyeballs, please keep signature length below '500' and the height below '450'. We know that sometimes people are more distracted by the large signatures that are there, rather than what they are actually supposed to be reading.
8. Avatars need to be 250x450. No bigger than those please, anything bigger and it won’t fit properly. The smaller avatar is 150x150.
9. 'Powerplaying' or 'ghosting' is absolutely NOT allowed on this site. These cases are when a person's character is being controlled by someone else. We know it can be difficult, so we will allow certain things as long as you have the other person's permission. You only know what your character is going to do, you cannot decide what someone else will do in response.
10. Marriage has to be permitted by the leaders of your race, both OOC and IC. Do NOT come to the Admins complaining that he/she doesn't want to be your mate, wife/husband. We will not force anyone to do anything just because it inconveniences you.
11. All writing can be done in either First Person or Third Person, everyone is different on how they write. So we will give you the choice of picking between the first person and third.
12. Do unto others as you would have them done unto you. Meaning treat someone like you would like to be treated, yes we are aware that you won't like everyone but that isn't an excuse to be mean or harass someone.
13. NO BULLYING. This is something that comes up often and we hope we won't have to deal with it on here but nevertheless, we will still mention it. Even if it is fun for you to make fun of or call someone a name, even if you don't mean it in a bad way, BE AWARE of the other person's feelings because it might not be so fun for them.
14. Be respectful to staff, guests, members and to yourself. Do not belittle or harass others and if someone says they are uncomfortable with something please don't continue doing it.
15. Please also be aware that once you have joined you have a 2-week span to complete your Joining Application. Should it not be completed the thread will be moved to the Archives and your account deleted. You may always rejoin and your 2week time frame reinstated. This keeps the site from being littered with inactive accounts. Should you need an extension please message one of the Admins, Vixaria or Raton. If your reason is quality then it will be granted. Your extension request will only be looked at if it is submitted BEFORE the end of your two weeks.
We hope you enjoy your look around of Wolves of Zamora and that you’ll soon join our humble community!
