As Quacker said once, one person asked for them, so everyone gets them. Some of these are dependent on the type of Roleplay and the one leading it, others are do not do ever-ever-ever.
The 'never ever' rules:
1. I'm used to reiterating the idea of nothing beyond PG-13. Romance is fine and dandy, but some of us really don't want to read graphic erotica roleplays. To make a long story short, if you want to type-screw, please, take it to IMing or PMing.
2. In character fights are great and entertaining. What's better then watching two characters beat the snot out of each other? Out of character fights... not so much. Be civil about things, and if you really can't solve the argument, get someone that can help solve the problem to help everyone keep playing nice with each other.
3. Some literacy at all times. While its okay to slack in the Out of character talk some, we do need to understand what your saying.
4. Fan fictions do not belong in the roleplay section.
The 'Roleplay defined' rules.
1. Godmoding. In 'just for craps and giggles' roleplays, this isn't a big deal, but in some serious roleplays, there are some roleplayers that will castrate you at first given chance when you do this. Wiki on godmoding.
2. With all original characters, make sure they fit in the world your trying to put them into. Roleplay leader has a big say on this, especially if it's a completely original world.
3. Grammar. Again, depends on the roleplay and leader. Some require good grammar, others are more laxed. See the one leading the roleplay, or the header page where they possibly have their own rules typed up to find out.
4. Hierarchy of the roleplay. With most forum roleplays, or ones that get large enough to need leadership to keep things civil, a hierarchy forms. The leader steers the ship, and can elect a first mate or two to assist if they're having trouble doing so. Unfortunately, normally the leaders don't have anyone to answer to. Not this case. If you have complaints about the cap-i-tan running a particular Roleplay (myself included), or feel you've been unfairly kicked, just come speak to me and we'll get things sorted out. In this forum at the moment though, we probably won't have much of this.
Above everything, all Club Rouge rules apply.
