»{ Rules; Ninja Of Darkness Forums.~

If it's ok with the Forum Staff here, Could I firstly put up some assistance with rules for the forums? I know there are some up at the moment; but I'd request a revision of them. If it is alright, I have made my own with customs onto them. By far you can merge them if you'd like. But within the process of the formulation, recognition should be there as well.

Rules ~ Ninja Of Darkness Forums.
ND. Rules New and Revised

1. When you joined up to the forum, you agreed that you were 1) at least 13 years old and 2) to follow their terms of service. It is possible that you were aware of such. Within a forum it is all about maturity; so your actions are watched by each member including yourself.
Simply: Don’t post anything illegal, keep your content to a PG-13 level, no excessive profanity (we have a swear filter, please don’t try circumvent it), no adult material, no excessive violence/gore or anything that most people would deem to be offensive in nature.
2. Signatures: Please try to keep signatures at a reasonable size. We will ask people to trim down any signatures that are incredibly massive.
3. Please try not to SPAM. If you double post accidentally, there is always a delete button.
4. Thread necromancy (reviving old threads) is ok here. Please feel free to revive if you want to discuss an old topic.
5. Marquees (scrolling text) seem to slow a lot of people down, so be thoughtful in their use.
6. Check sticky posts at the top of each forum, they often have any additional rules or useful information that you should know about the section.
7. Please try to keep role playing to the role play forums, it can get confusing in other topics.
8. When writing about games or TV programs, if you want to talk about something that may spoil the story or plot for someone else, it’s polite to try and hide your spoiler by making your text a hard to see colour. This way people can highlight it if they want to read it, but won’t be spoiled if they want to discover the plot for themselves later.
9.Grammar - Keep in mind this is a forum, not a chatroom. TRY to make your posts as comprehensible as you can make them. Of course it's okay if English isn't your first language, but what we're trying to stay away from is "l33t sp34k" and "n00b" nonsense. The smallest of things can grow eventually to be very effective; so don't do such.

Advertising.

10.You may only advertise when you have 20 posts or more. And to affiliate you must be an active member with at least 50 posts. If you join just to advertise your forum topic will be deleted. no questions asked.

Sig Advertising - Need at least 10 posts.

General Advertising - No advertising within the Signature Threads OR the chatbox. It is for sure not allowed. It can be an annoyance when people join just to show off their sites. If this is to be; your site; or forum shall go into the thread of archives or to be deleted; since it was completely obvious from the start that a stealing barrage was what you had planned from all along. etc. Members.

RPG RULES
A few rules to follow to make the rpg forum a more fun place to be.

1. No Godmoding
It's annoying for other players, give your character some weaknesses.

-What is godmoding?
Godmoding is making your character invulnerable/invincible.

2. 'Mary-Sues'
Try not to make your character a Mary-Sue. It can be very annoying. Nobody's perfect, so unless your character is called Nobody - they're not perfect.

The description page would be here in case no one knows the meaning of such.

3. Swearing
As with the main forum rules, please keep your swearing to a minimum if you must swear at all.

4. PG-13
Again, as with the main forum rules, try to keep this at a PG-13 level... this is a forum for EVERYONE, including younger people and we don't want to be polluting people's minds now do we? No.

If you see someone breaking these rules, please, just inform an admin/moderator. This will help us moderate the rpg more easily.

Thanks.

~( If there are editors that just so happen to join, I can do the same there as well with rules to support them. A PM will be all that is needed and I should be able to. Thank you for the time.)~

Don't like the 13 or older rule. espicially since most Naruto fans are under 13. I'm 12.

------------Really helps the admins, and mods.

8. When writing about games or TV programs, if
you want to talk about something that may spoil the story or plot for

text a hard to see colour. This way people can highlight it if they
want to read it, but won’t be spoiled if they want to discover the plot
for themselves later.
----------------Instead of making it a color that blends in how about you put the spoiler tabs in front and behind the text.

Code:

[spoiler][/spoiler]

-----------------God modding isn't only be invincable. It is also saying you hit someone without them having a chance to dodge it or use replacement jutsu, or something else.

Glad you agree with the rest except one, Pendo. But for the first, you are preferably watched and just corresponding:

When you first came, you had to agree with the terms of service; but I might have gone below that limit of being older. However what should have been there is the fact that some are younger. The bad influences could be another problem.
