JOURNAL
Journals can be ic or ooc but should have no numbers or underscores. We do not allow logging of registered user's IP addresses. Please be sure to turn off all anonymous commenting and DO NOT use the no embed code in your profile. You must keep your friends list up to date. Failure to comply with these rules will result in removal.


PBS
We follow the five year age rule; meaning your character can not be any older or younger than five years of the PB's age. All PBS must be 18+ and must be public figures that are easily found with a Google search. Questions and concerns about PB use will be handled on an individual case by case basis, and the mods reserve the right to ask you to change your PB.


APPLYING
We will not be requiring full biographies, as we realize some people prefer to play their character and figure them out as they go. We do require the basic information plus a short blurb at the very least. Characters from all walks of life and backgrounds are welcome. If you want to play a faux celeb, we invite you to do so, but we will not be keeping track of credits, as this is not a faux community. At this time, we do not see the need to require examples for applying to the comm. If you want to write, we want you here.


LINE CROSSING
Please keep IC and OOC separated. Not everyone will like every character and that's understandable, but we will not tolerate OOC bullying or gaslighting. This is meant to be an enjoyable hobby. Play your character as you choose and allow others to do the same. If issues arise, we encrouage you to come to us and we will do our best to handle the situation fairly. If we find that you have been bullying or gaslighting, we will give you one warning. If you fail to change your behavior, you will be removed.


ACTIVITY
The activity cycle begins and ends on the first and last day of the month. Activity should be turned in by 5 p.m. EST on the last day of each month. We require two forms of activity that can consist of anything you'd like, but one must be open to the community for commenting, and you must respond to the majority of the comments. If you are added after the 15th of the month, your intro counts as one form of activity. We ask that you please not consistently wait until the last couple of days of the month to post. Don't treat the community like a PSL. It takes active players to make a successful game. We're all here for interaction!


HIATUS/EXTENSIONS
All hiatus requests will be considered and granted on a case by case basis. We understand that life can throw curveballs and we're willing to work with your needs. Extension requests must be made prior to the deadline for activity. We only grant one week extensions and ask that you not overuse this. If you are consistently asking for extensions, we may choose not to grant one. We feel that our activity requirements should not be hard to successfully meet month to month.
