Board Rules;
Please abide by these rules!! They're simple and easy to follow!
Please abide by these rules!! They're simple and easy to follow!
1. Rule of thumb.
Respect everyone - both members and staff - on the forum. Remain civil. Do not start drama. This forum is meant to be for fun and an ejoyable experience for both yourself and other members. If you've got a problem with a certain individual, please handle it yourselves and do not attempt to involve any others in it. Any type of inappropriate behaviour will result in a warning. If you are pestered by another member of the forum, please provide proof [such as screenshots] and we will help as best as we can.
But of course, we all know that everyone here is too cool for borin' ol' drama! Pfffffffft!
2. Limit yourself to only one character, if possible.
Homestuck provides a wide arrange of characters, however, because there are only quite several (minus the ancestors), we would like to give more people chances to roleplay as a certain character. The maximum characters you can roleplay are two. But please, please only roleplay as two if you think you can handle it. It is better if you roleplay as one character. After all, chatrooms [which will be explained somewhere below] would be more fun with a diverse variety of characters!!
Please limit character hogging.
3. MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT HOMESTUCK IS BEFORE YOU REGISTER!
It would be a shame if you didn't have the slightest clue or comprehension on this epic lore. The Huss of Lips would certainly not be entertained.
4. Please be active.
We all know that we all have a life outside of the internet and how chaotic it can be. It would be wonderful if you can at least be as active as possible on this forum. If you are able to post at least once, twice, or thrice a week, it would be considered fantastic.
Activity checks will be held once a month [mostly at the start of each month] until a certain deadline. If you do not meet the activity check on the time required, your account will be terminated. Quite simply, be ready, or be squared.
5. Chatrooms.
Once in a while, we will be having forum chatrooms. For the majority of the part, this will be an in-character chatroom. We can all type in our quirks and colours, etc. etc. We will post when we will have a forum chatroom at least a few days or so beforehand. The chatbox on the site is provided for casual-chat; both IC or OOC, whichever you savvy more. Rules of the chatbox are the same; remain civil, try not to spam the poor box.
It will cry.
6. Roleplay.
Now, we all know that nobody is perfect, yadda, yadda. We would advise for your to use proper grammar, spelling, and syntax while roleplaying. How do we roleplay as Homestuck characters, you ask? Quite simple. To be quite frank, just look at the admin's application (two separate links!) &with that, the sample roleplay provided, if you are confused.

... No seriously though. If you're going to write smut or any sort of cyber roleplay, keep it off the forum and limit it to messages and/or somewhere else more private. Keep the cursing at a minimum -- oh who are we kidding. We're all mature and we can say fuck if we wanted to.

7. Graphics!!
Now this is why we have amazing staff members on this forum. If you need any type of graphics made, don't hesitate to post on the graphics galore and ask for a signature and/or avatar!
