Forum Rulebook
The rules below are to be followed at all times by all members and staff. Failure to do so will result in consequences and/or termination from the forum, depending on the circumstances.
- Bullying or excluding of any member or staff member is not allowed. We encourage everyone to be welcoming and friendly, and we want this forum to be a safe space for everyone. If any name-calling, exclusion, or rude behavior towards another member is seen, consequence(s) will be decided on by the staff. If you see it, report it; no excuses.
- No offensive or derogatory slurs; including but not limited to racism, transphobia or homophobia. Any word or phrase that is offensive to any person's existence that is used on this forum in any context will result in immediate termination.
- Don't swear. There are minors on this forum, as well as people who do not enjoy seeing swear words. If there is swearing, there will be a minor warning. If it proceeds, other consequences may follow.
- Do not use artwork that you do not own or have not gotten permission to use. This rule specifically refers to a character reference image. Saying that you merely used a google image is not a valid excuse; next to every image it states, "images may be subject to copyright". If you use artwork that is not yours, it is copyright infringement.
- Stealing characters, either from other people or the Warriors books is not permitted. We would like everyone to be original and creative with their characters. Inspiration from another character is allowed, but deliberate copying will result in you receiving a warning and your character being deleted. It is up to you to make sure you do not have the same character as another person on the forum.
- Creating a non-clan cat without permission is not allowed. It is very rare that we will allow anyone to make a loner, rogue, or kittypet. As attention-grabbing characters they are, non-clan cats are very common in roleplay. We encourage everyone to make an ordinary cat unique, instead of using disability or rank to automatically make them more pertinent to the story.
- Do not take it upon yourself to instigate a large event in the story. This includes battles, prophecies, sudden deaths, etc. All of the following must be run by a staff member before adding it to the roleplay. If you do not consult an admin, or you proceed to roleplay the event after the staff member has denied your request, you will be given a warning and the event will not continue.
