AMBROSIA

PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL. Yes, yes, we don't expect you to all be perfect little children with clean mouths, but have tolerance and love for your fellow members. (If all goes well, they won't be going anywhere. Won't hurt to get along with them.)

PLEASE USE ANIME FACECLAIMS. This is an animanga/game face claim only roleplay, which means we do not want to see any original or digital art. Please don't ask.

PLEASE DON'T VIOLATE THE TERMS OF SERVICE. This means there can be no content above PG-13. Kissing, fondling, and playing around won't hurt you, but take your dirty thoughts and dirtier role-plays to the gutter and leave them there.

PLEASE BE HELPFUL. If a curious guest asks something in the cbox and you have an answer, don't just leave them hanging and be polite. People don't know the rules and expectations of any site before joining it, and there is no reason to get smug and snarky with someone who's confused.

PLEASE BE ACTIVE. As mentioned, there is no wordcount or character limit here. However, try to post at least once a week with one character. We won't judge you if it turns out that you can't, but common courtesy, right?

PLEASE DON'T STRETCH THE FORUM. If we see that your signature or posting template stretches out the forum, we will go in and edit it for you to fit the proper dimensions. Please don't be surprised if we change a font or, worst case scenario, ask that you remove it.

AMBROSIA

READ THE INFO. Please, please, please. We know it's a daunting amount, but much of the world is explained in the information section. Give it a thorough glance-over, if nothing else.

AVOID CONTROVERSIAL REAL LIFE ISSUES IN YOUR PROFILES OR OTHERWISE. Unless you intend to be very, very sensitive about their usage, tell the staff beforehand, and acknowledge that we can reject it on the basis of violating the TOS or disturbing other potential members. The more subtle and respectful, the better.

DISPLAY NAMES SHOULD BE FIRST NAME LAST NAME. There will be no exceptions to the rule, please.

ICONS MUST BE 250px IN HEIGHT BY 130px IN WIDTH. We decided it's all lovely and cool to have nice-sized images of characters, and prefer that to icons outside of posts. This gives us a better idea what they look like, and seems much sleeker.

CANONS ARE NOT ENTIRELY FREE REIGN. Their creation is, but we do have an over-arching plot with certain things we'd like to see rped. If you have questions or are curious about the details, private message SAMEDI or VENDREDI.

FACECLAIMS FROM TALES GAMES ARE ALLOWED. Because we are one-part Tales and the other jrpgs in general, the use of Tales faceclaims won't necessarily be non-negotiable. (Hey, Flynn looks just like Guy. Tales is already full of clones.)

YOU MAY PLAY UP TO TWO CORE CANON. Do remember that people without a core canon will be prioritized over those that do not have any, thanks.

SUMMON SPIRITS AND ANCIENTS ARE NONPLAYABLE. FOR NOW. May only be entertained by request, and if the member has proven reliable.

NO ONE HAS A RIGHT TO MAKE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE. SAY WHEN THEY DO. About any subject, in any circumstance. If something is bothering you, there is no penalty for making that known. Bluntly, but fairly. Simply being uncomfortable does not adequate to a ban or a warning for the other party, but us knowing about it gives us the ability to intervene.

YOU CAN REPORT TO STAFF. NEVER FORGET THIS. It honestly does help, we promise.

NOT EVERYTHING SOMEONE SAYS SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. Just because something is seemingly offensive does not mean that the poster had any actual intention to be offensive. Sometimes people are joking in bad taste, being thoughtless, or—most importantly—still kids.

TAKE IT SERIOUSLY WHEN IT HAPPENS MORE THAN ONCE. AND ESPECIALLY AFTER YOU MADE YOUR FRUSTRATION KNOWN. With the exception of maybe perv jokes, any member that ignores your clear irritation or insults your beliefs more than once has crossed the line. At this point, private message an admin—preferably myself—to inquire about the circumstances.

WE HAVE A ONE STRIKE POLICY. Although the seriousness of the offense will be considered by the staff, one strike is your warning. Two strikes and you are out. We may recommend apologizing to another member over PM or starting a dialogue, if the offense is not egregious.

SCREENCAP ANY INSTANCES OF CBOX MISCONDUCT YOU INTEND TO REPORT. Staff will not ban or warn a member without any justifiable reason to do so, nor can we take your word as undeniable truth. Take a picture of the posts involved, and include it with your PM.

BE THOUGHTFUL. CONTROVERSIAL ISSUES ARE STILL CONTROVERSIAL. A controversial topic brought up in the cbox invites other members to comment. If you aren't sure things will end well, just don't take the risk. You don't have to.

REMEMBER: THE CHATBOX IS PUBLIC. Anyone can read what you are saying, regardless of whether or not they belong to our site. This is partially why we suggest private messaging an admin in the case of problems; as soon as the spark is lit, anyone else is invited to feed it.
