Otherworld's Handbook

[Jean Claude]

Alright, to keep a civil community we at Otherworlds RPGs declare these guides to keep things neat and orderly as best we can. As administrators, or Masters of the City, we have the right and privilege to change the handbook at any given moment when necessary.

So without further a do, please read the handbook before posting and remember of course, as always, to enjoy your stay!

• Spamming: This includes pornography, prejudiced remarks, biased comments, sexual harassment, and portraying to be a celebrity or political figure.
  
  
• Credit: If you borrow someone else's work whether it's a banner, avatar, or creative writing, you should always credit them by linking back to their profiles or web-sites. If you're unsure of who the original artist is, ask an administrator to find out for you, if we cannot find the artist(s), you may not use their work. That is considered stealing.
  
  - Graphics/Original works of any kind on this forum may not be used without consent of the original artist(s). If we find our work used on other forums or sites without our consent, we can and will take legal actions against the said thieves.
  
  
• Role Playing Guide: There are many ways to role play, the top two are first person point of view (I am doing this), or third person point of view (he killed him). Otherworld RPGs will unless otherwise noted, be using the third person point of view as it is the most widely used RPG form. In Free Forms, you may use which ever makes you feel more comfortable. If you're uncertain on how to RP, please ask a staff member to assist you.
  
  
• Profiles: Avatars are provided on the forum, however that does not mean you may not use your own. Make sure they are 100x100 or smaller and that they follow the "No Spamming" guide.
  
  Banners may be no larger than 500x150 in .jpg or .gif format. Only one banner per member. You may make requests in the "Arts" field on the forum.
  
  Text is allowed, in signatures, as well as multiple colors, but please limit as due to the space permitted on browsers is limited. No more than 5 sentences should be needed for your signature purpose. Follow the "No Spamming Guide" please.
  
  
• Distorted Text: Excessive use of ALL CAPS is not permitted, nor will multiple colors within posts, ThIs Is CoOl, kewl t@lk, or excessive amounts of abbreviations. Please follow the "No Spamming" guide as well.
  
  
• Multiple Accounts: Multiple accounts are available for you as long as they are for RPG purposes and you do not abandon your major role. If a member joins and wants one of your secondary roles, you must be willing to give that role up if the person succeeds in the trial for that role which trials are two weeks.
  
  You may request to change your accounts Display Names once every 5 months, after the third time, it is final unless otherwise noted by staff.
  
  

Penalties for breaking these guides:

• First Offense: Result is a warning.
  
  
• Second Offense: Will result in a temporary suspension depending on what guide was broken will determine how long the suspension will be.
  
  
• Final Offense: You will be given a trial by the administrators of this forum for your final act of judgement upon your actions. The final say of the administrators is permament unless otherwise stated.
  

Again these are for your safety as well as ours and can be changed at any given moment.

Sincerely,

Jean Claude and Anita Blake (Co-Admin)
