[IODINE]

GENERAL RULES

BE COOL
We do not tolerate any flaming of our members, nor any unneeded drama. All of the wonderful staff of OPRP made this site to have fun, and connect with the members. We don't want to have to possibly ban you guys over some unnecessary things that could simply be avoided by talking outside of the forum. Just chill, be cool, and relax. Alright?

DISPLAY NAME, ICON
Your display name on your account, should be your character's FIRST & LAST NAME in CAPS, makes things more simpler and members can know who is rping who. Your account icon, should also be an 100x100 icon of your face-claim or the anime series character that you are using.

ACCOUNT RULES
So you want to have multiple characters? That's fine, it really is. But make sure before you make that new character, you create a new account. We don't want multiple characters on one account, it just doesn't look nice and organized. But, as long as you handle your business and stay active make as many accounts/characters your heart desires. Also remember, your display name should be your character's first and last name. POST LINK OF YOUR CHARACTER IN YOUR SIGNATURE

PLAGIARISM
Never, ever, plagiarize. We mean it, if we find out you took someone's work we will ban you without question. This is one of the worst things you could do, especially if you decide to take something from our site. That's just not cool, and will result in a permanent ban.

ACTIVITY
We cannot stress this enough, be active or your position/title/devil fruit will be stripped from you. Or worse, your account will be deleted, thus losing your character. You need to make sure you log on at least once a week, and you better make sure you write up a post during that one day, but we'd appreciate if you would log on daily of course. Also, if you have multiple characters make sure to log on them weekly also, the rule applies to every account you own.

IMAGES
Signatures are not to exceed 500x300px. If you're going to have a signature please make sure it's pleasing and not completely painful to look at. Any images posted in threads should not exceed 500x500px.

POSTING RULES

MATURE CONTENT
Now, now kiddies. I know you like to get frisky, but keep it to a minimum alright? We don't want to read any graphic sexual scenes and have to delete the post now do we? Mild sexual themes are alright, but if you're like one of our staffers and like to abuse their victims before their death then please, fade to black and avoid us having to warn you. If done multiple times will result in a ban, don't test us.

WORD LIMIT
We don't really have a word flow, just let it flow from you! We don't want one liners, though, so get out a good quality paragraph or so, please!

THREAD LIMIT

CBOX RULES

RESPECT STAFF
Major rule, if a staff members comes into the cbox and people start harassing him/her they have the right to ban you. No flame baiting, no trolling, no disrespect. Keep it cool, kind, and chill.

ADVERTISING
Hell no, get that ish out of here. Absolutely no advertising in the cbox, we see you advertise or you get reported by one of our little birdies then well, you're instant banned buddy. We do have a "plug it" on the bottom of the site if you wish to advertise your forum then feel free, we don't bite. This excludes resource sites by the way.

SITE RULES
All the site rules apply to the cbox, no flaming members, or causing unneeded drama. If we find out you're trolling our members, or bringing drama to the site we'll warn you. But, if it gets to excessive, and you do it every day, complaint after complaint, troll after troll, you will be banned.

OOC-RP
No, no roleplaying your characters in the cbox. You can easily go make a thread and do that within one of our many boards. The cbox is for talking, daily chit-chat you know? Not roleplaying one worded sentences with your characters, please refrain from doing that or you will be warned.

OTHER SITES
Do not talk about other sites in the cbox whether it be good, bad or neutral. We dont want any unnecessary drama attracted to the site and we dont want anyone left out of the conversation. Adding to this, we don't want people talking about the good ol'days on this site and etc, it causes other members to feel left out. We understand if you are trying to find out if someone comes from a site, that's understandable, but no talking bout it, the days you rp on it, the drama that was there. You will get a warning and if it keeps up you will get a day ban, thank you very much.

GUESTS
Do not lurk the cbox if you do not plan to RP here. Yes you may pop by and ask questions, but if you've been lurking the cbox for more than 3 days without a bio we're going to ask you to leave kindly. We don't want lurkers, we want members that will be down to roleplay.

.GIF
Please do not have a .gif icon, we don't want that here. It's annoying at times to do it, we will ask you to change it, and if you refuse to, we will give you a simple warning and ask again, and if that doesn't work, then you will be kindly excused until the next day.

ICON
Please have an icon that is pg-13, we will ask you kindly to put one up, if not you will suffer the consequences. Your icon must also be of your character, this does not branch into the c-box.

BATTLE RULES

BATTLE RULES
Battles rules are simply put in place to give an understanding on how fighting will play out on the board. There are no stats or anything of the sort and all fights will be based off role play ability, unless otherwise stated at the start of a fight. All fights will be judged under the style of T1. You can refer to here for an extended explanation of T1 though not all stated in the link apply here.

RULES ON ABILITIES
You are not required to list all your abilities, weapons, skills, etc. a the start of the thread, we can simply refer to your profile. With this being said, you must keep your profile updated with all of your dealings, should you not and something you didn't list is used in battle, it will be voided. You are also required to state when you are using an ability such as a devil fruit or haki, your character isn't require to announce it ICly but the usage of the tech should be noted somewhere should the thread need modding.

ACTIONS PER POST
You are only allowed to do four actions, and nothing more. If you try to over-do it, by attacking multiple times in one post (i.e., Bob throws bombs, shoots fireballs, throws dagger, attack some more) all in one post, that will be counted as godmodding, and ruling would be placed by a BM.

IN CHARACTER POSTING RULES
All fighting threads have a two day IIC, so if a person doesn’t post in two days, and they were attacked; the attack lands. And your character’s life will be to the member’s discretion, so be careful. PM the member, or BM before hand to let them know you will be gone, for such and such days. You are allowed to loot (steal) a character’s items and weapons after you have defeated them, you can take their money as well, it is up to you.

BATTLE MODERATORS
Certain staff members will be assigned the job of battle moderating. They check over battle threads, if an argument starts up between the members, who are fighting one another; PM one of them. Their job is to make a ruling, and if they do make a ruling, no complaining about it. You may PM them if you don’t agree with their ruling, but if they still do not agree with what you are saying, their ruling will stay.
