The Rules
Our Codes Of Conduct

Yes, every site has their own set of rules, and TTS is hardly an exception. Our rules aren't too strict, and we will actually be pretty lax about any slip ups or mistakes; however, do please try to follow them!

A break in guidelines will result in a staff member pointing out the break, and then asking for you to either stop, or mend the problem. If you fail to comply, you will be placed on 3 day suspension. Upon returning, if you continue the issue, you will be permanently banned. Exceptions may apply!

Happy readings!

The General Rules
Rules Applying To The Entire Site

[/b] As regarding to Proboards Terms of Service, as well as to keep this site to a more mature standard, please do not join if you are under the age of thirteen! There may be more adult content that could appear on the site, and we ask that all those under the age of 13 or incapable of handling such refrain from joining.

Member Relations: Please, be sure to remain polite and civil to all members. If you have a clash with another member, or feel you cannot get along with another member, please attempt to smooth things over. If you cannot, please ignore said member, and avoid clashing on the site, such as in the C-Box. If this doesn't work out, you may resort to the staff as a last ditch effort, but we'd prefer if you didn't!

Accounts: For each character you have, please create a separate account; this means you shouldn't have more than eight accounts at any time [unless you are a staff member, in which case, no more than nine accounts]. This should not be difficult, as activations are disabled for accounts. Each account should have the name of the character it is for, with proper capitalization. This makes the site appear more uniformed.

Avatars and Signatures: Please, have your avatars and signatures be of the character's faceclaim, or no avatar at all, or a signature with just text or no signature at all. Also, please make sure your signature picture is under 200 x 300, to not stretch the posts!

Staff: Staff can be identified by their names. All staff names are placed within -'s [example: -Almy-]. Moderators and Administrators can be distinguished from each other on the side bar. Please, if you have any questions, feel free to message the Staff! We are all here to help, and don't let any one of us intimidate you.

Wait To Be Accepted: This means your character, of course, and that you shouldn't post until said character is accepted for the account you are making! This includes OOC posts, because if you decide you don't want to play or make a character and just disappear, we don't want your posts scattered across the site. Just a precaution, mind you.

The OOC Rules
Rules Applying To Out Of Character

[/b] Discussions inside the General Discussion area or the C-Box can become very heated, and we understand when somebody can start to tick you off. However, there's a line between a heated debate, and a heated argument. Try not to insult other people, not even in jest; sometimes it can be taken the wrong way.

Games: Please, do not post twice in a row with the same account in the Games thread, so as to allow other people a chance to play. Games are a great way to kill some time and garner up some posts, but there are other ways to spend time!

No Sexual, Violent, Religious, or Political Themes: The General Discussion area is good fun and all, but to keep the site outwardly clean and acceptable for all members, try to keep sexual and violent themes off of the general discussions. Some members wish not to see them, and we try to be welcoming to all types of members; it is also against Proboards terms of service. As for politics and religion, it can lead lead to passionate arguments and conflict, which is undesirable completely.

No Plugging: All advertisement should be found on the Advertisement Board; please, don't plug in your own site on the C-Box or the OOC Area. Non-forum related sites or our sister sites do not count, but all other forums should remain in the Ads board.

The Role Play Rules
Rules Applying To In Character

[/b] Each member may only have a maximum of 8 characters, with no exceptions. We don't need an influx of characters that never see the light of day!

Face Claims: TTS utilizes anime, manga, and artwork with anime and manga influence as Face Claims. This means no photography of celebrities. We do allow video game CGI, however.

No Remakes: We understand that some images of characters can only have a certain type of personality [such as, Faye of Cowboy Bebop couldn't entirely be innocent or pure]. However, we do not want to see complete remakes of the face claim as a character. Such as, a character named Uzumaki Naruto who hails from a village of ninjas and has a loud and obnoxious attitude will be denied.

200 Post Count: Sometimes people have bad days, and muses die; however, we ask you do at least try to meet the 100 word count with each post. It's not that much, only one solid paragraphs, and should be easy enough to meet. You can exceed 100 words, of course, but be warned; in fact, most people prefer a 200+ word count, so you'll achieve more role plays this way.

Grammar and Spelling: We aren't perfect, we make mistakes, and they can even be as innocent as accidentally forgetting a word or mistaking a word's spelling. However, try your best at keeping your posts as tidy as possible! It can irk the person your playing with if there's a mistake every few words.

No Graphic Content: If you are familiar with proboards, you already know that any sexual, overly violent, or intense scene must be fade to black. We don't mind what you do off site, but please, keep it off these forums, as Proboards moderates for said content.

Activity: We aren't activity nazis, and we won't leap on your case if you aren't using every character every day; however, we won't have our census clogged up with characters that aren't being used, either! Random activity checks [generally once every two months] will involve the playing of each of your characters for some time. It's easy to do, don't worry! It's also important to remember people are more keen to play with active members, rather than the inactive. [Exceptions may apply]
