Greetings ladies, gentlemen, and all those things in between,
First of all I'd like to say that I am very happy to see you have decided to join the forum and engage in roleplaying activities on the boards! We appreciate the patronage and look forward to gaming with you.
Now onto the business of forum rules and guidelines. I am sure you carefully read the TOS of Proboards when you registered for this board...yeah right. Well, to summarize in the most negative way possible, here is a list of what we're not allowed to post:
Alright, now that that ridiculousness is out of the way, we can get onto rules specific to this forum. There aren’t very many of these rules as this was meant to be a fairly relaxed RP board. However, the rules this forum is run by are iron-clad and to be held inviolable. So without further ado:
The Rules of the Seattle After Dark RP Forum.
1. ALL MEMBERS WILL BE AT LEAST 18 YEARS IN AGE.
I put this one in capital letters for a reason. Vampire the Masquerade, White Wolf Publishing, and, by association, this RP board are adult fiction and as such deal with certain adult themes. Violence, sexual situations, obscene language, taboo subjects, and dark themes will regularly be involved in posts on this board. As such, those not considered consensual adults by the greater American age of consent (18 years or older) will not be involved in any posting on this website and I ask that they refrain from even reading any of the In-Character-Posts under the Rainy City Stories board. Any individuals who falsely put there age as 18+ are not my responsibility nor the responsibility of Proboards. You clicked the agreement on the TOS which included a verification statement on the validity for all information you had previously entered. If you are found later to be under the age of 18, you will be banned from the board until such times as you are actually, and verifiably, 18. There are no hard feelings on this, and we will welcome you back eagerly once you are of age of consent!
2. Post respectfully and politely.
In lieu of the previous rule, I would like to state there is a limit to the obscenity and vulgarity allowed on this board. NC-17 rated encounters will take place in PM’s or through third party chat systems, not on the boards. Once again, inflammatory or abusive remarks will not be tolerated. We are all friends here, so no reason to be a jerk. There is to be no arguing on the boards, unless it’s in-character or an exchange of ideas, which is actually called debating. Any issues someone has with another player should be resolved outside of the board. If mediation is required, please ask for assistance from myself or a moderator. We will be happy to help. Spam is a big no-no! Make posts count, and any posts construed as spamming will not be tolerated.
3. Respect the Moderators and comply with their requests.
You will comply with the requests of any administrator or moderator. If you feel that any moderator or myself has given you a ridiculous request, you can appeal to another moderator or myself, whatever the case may be. But for the most part, any request a moderator makes is in the best interest of the player and the forum. So please, try and be as cooperative as possible. Further, you will show proper respect to moderators at all time. They are taking on a big responsibility so that the forum can run smoothly and effectively. They deserve your respect.
These rules are simple and easy to follow, I believe. But for any individual that does violate these rules, here is the hierarchy of punishment. This forum works on a Three-Strikes basis, with the first strike warranting a PM warning from a moderator or myself. The second strike results in a week long suspension, during which your PC will be used as a NPC (but not in a malicious manner; it will be auto-played in a manner consistent with your characterization). On the third strike you will be banned from the forum and your character will become an NPC of the boards. Now, if there are any misunderstandings, you can probably very easily appeal any violation with me. If I see that you did not mean to disrupt the forum or hurt another individual, I may be lenient. Actually, I probably will be lenient, but I have to see true remorse at your action and that you’re actually seeking redemption!
Now, that wasn’t too bad. Not too many rules in the beginning, but if I see any problems arise, I have full authority to amend these rules as I see fit. Now, please enjoy your time on the boards and make sure to familiarize yourself with any other rules before posting in the RP boards.
Enjoy,
The Admin

- Inflammatory or abusive remarks
- Copyrighted material
- Solicitations, including spam, marketing schemes, or chain letters
- Anything that could be considered unlawful
- Posts involving seditious and subversion activities or planning of such activities.
