The Rules of Eyes of the Night
Eyes of the Night is an organized role play site, so as most role play sites, we have a list of rules that must be followed. Break them and pay the consequences.
Before reading the laws themselves, you must first understand our policy.
When you break the laws of EotN, you will be punished depending on the severity of your actions, meaning:
Offense 1: You are given a strict warning.
Offense 2: You are suspended from the forums for a 3 days.
Offense 3: You are banned from the forums until further notice.
As for our laws, we keep them fair and easy to follow...
1: Respect all other users!
2: SPAM IS NOT TOLERATED! - Spam is annoying and a waste of space so DON'T do it.
3: Please, do NOT talk in chat-speak. - This means using letters or numbers instead of the real word. Eyes of the Night is a semi-literate and literate role play community, let's keep it that way.
4: If you get into an argument with someone, please take it to your Private Messages or elsewhere.
5: You are allowed to make as many characters as you want, but beware! If you do not use them, their profile will be deleted.
6: If you steal anything from these forums, you will be banned immediatly! - That includes stories/art, and/or characters present on this forum.
7: PLEASE know what you're talking about during roleplay. If no one can understand you, how will they be able to reply?
8: Do not join a pack without the pack creator's knowledge. - Joining without permission is extremely annoying and very confusing!
Keerse's Addendum:
1. Think about species and how they interact. If you choose to create a panther, they probably wouldn't be in wolf territory.
2. Don't post to a thread just because it's busy and you want to do something. Be patient. Create a new thread and wait for people to come to you. They will.
3. Don't have your character request to join a pack because you're bored. Create a character for the pack and PM the Alphas and Asia to request pack membership.
4. Stay in character. I cannot stress this enough. Do not treat a member poorly because you don't like them. Treat their character as your character would treat them, even if you like/dislike the person RPing them. Likewise, don't be offended if someone's character treats yours like dirt. That's just how the character is.
5. Be logical. If your character is a saber tooth tiger and someone else plays a rabbit, chances are your characters are NOT going to get along, unless you posted initially in your profile stating that your saber tooth tiger hates meat and looooves small fuzzy critters.
6. Do not be afraid to ask any of the EotN staff for help. If you don't know how to role play, don't stress. Just PM us and we'll teach you.
--------------
All we want is for you to follow these rules and have the best time while role playing here in Eyes of the Night.
Thank you for your time,
~ EotN Staff
