GENERAL RULES
--------
1.Be A Good Neighbor- Respect your fellow role players. Treat others with the benefit of the doubt and try to keep personal "jokes" to yourself until you have gotten to know the member a bit more, be civil and mutually kind, violations of this rule includes but is not limited to "mom insults, attacking members, ignoring new people, blatant disrespect, blatant disrespect. It is also advised that if you are feeling a certain type of way you keep it out of the cbox or site chat in general, if you happen to be triggered for some reason try to calm down or contact a mod to explain the situation. Violating this rule can stretch from warnings, to warning levels, temporary site bans to full ban, but I have confidence that this won't become enough of a problem where you need to be banned, don't prove me wrong c:--------
2.Profanity- Swearing and slang(not including racial slurs) is allowed, although you should be mindful not to purposely offend anyone or attempt to get on their nerves for the sake of trolling, trash talk or general hate speech.
3. PG-13- Sexual or explicit content must be kept to an extreme minimum, you can have situations lead to the classic fade to black, pursue them off site or simply keeping the implications of sexual content extremely broad.
4. Cbox- You must remember, the cbox isn't the place for everything...topics such as politics and religion.
4.2 Spoilers- This is an interesting topic for jojo...so I will say this, refrain from speaking about topics that have not received an anime adaption, this includes Character deaths, character returns, endings and reveals. Fights, characters that appear early in the chapter or better yet characters that are playable in Eyes Of Heaven and All Star battle may be spoken about (For you fellow manga readers topics specifically about part 7 and 8 should be kept to a minimum)
5. You don't need to have Jojo knowledge to join- This is sort of true...if you want to join but don't know anything about Jojo's Bizarre Adventure you may, but it is HIGHLY recommended you at least watch the anime adaption of Phantom Blood(part 1) and Diamond Is Unbreakable(part 4) both of these parts show characters that learn how to use unique powers within the series, specifically Hamon, Vamperism and STANDS. If you want to know how characters that possess more than one of these at a time then it is best to also watch Stardust Crusaders(part 3). (Also you should probably watch part 2 as well as it is one of the best parts in the series...yeah i just listed all the parts that are animated as of the writing of these rules...it's recommended :/ )
6. Characters- You have 2 free character slots, the rest are unlocked upon achieving 30 IC posts for every new character, as for your third character your second character must have at least 25 posts but a full 30 from the third forward.
7. OOC accounts AND character accounts- Your OOC account (out of character) will mainly be used as a database to link all your characters and the character/IC accounts (In character) will be used for actual role play. With that said, your character profiles must be named after your character and at least their first name when you actually make their account for easy tagging.
8. FaceClaims- Faceclaims on this site must be Animanga/western comic claims, due to the nature of JoJo's artstyle we will allow more than just anime faceclaims such as western comics or western cartoon characters. Note: humanoid characters MUST be humanoid, as far as stands go you can go crazy as long as it doesn't break any other rules on the board or Proboards in general.
9. Plagiarism- Big nope, this here is forbidden, and will warrant a temporary ban. No stealing other work from other sites or role-play-material from other sites, this does in fact include your own work from other sites such as stories you have written to use as posts . Another note, concerning wikis and sites that provide misc information, plagiarism is when you claim work as your own, if you are using resources from resource sites or wiki pages all you must do is put it in quotation marks and cite the work, you probably shouldn't be using this in actual posts but rather your app/plotter etc. for information you needed to find, if it's general information that you can put into your own words, such as, for example history of the Eiffel Tower you don't necessarily need to cite it.
