NOTE: FAQ #287: What rules apply to the Chat Network?

Chat-specific rules are common sense:

Rules

By joining RPDream you are stating you have read the rules and you will abide by them.

1) No spam. This includes icons and emoticons. (please dont use more than two in one post or too often.) Also Thumbs are not allowed.
2) Do not promote your room, art or website, in short; no advertising.
3) Have an issue with a member? Deal with it somewhere else. (ooc room for example)
4) Post a character profile before rp-ing (see below for details)
5) Do not ask to be promoted (to sidekicks, heroes, or demi-gods). You earn this and not by nagging or bugging.
6) Do not bold and use caps lock at the same time in the room and dont use bold in excess. Note: Bold should be used for requesting a rp.
7) Keep it clean. All and any type of cybering (sexually explicit rping) referances that are too mature is against dAmn rules and will result in a ban and a policy report to the staff. RPDream has a policy of reporting all offenders.
8) Do not request a Yaoi or Yuri rp (though you may ask for M/M or F/F), the translations can be misinterpreted or abused, if you do not understand this, tough. RPDream, and Deviantart have a zero-tolerancy on sexual activities.
9)Use brackets if you post OOC (out of character = just chatting, not rp-ing). Brackets are ), }, and ]. Note; Please use the OOC room for large discussions
10) Please respect and treat each other as you'd want to be treated - this is called toleration, not personal respect. And please no excessive swearing or offensive language aimed at others.
11) No 'BOTS' in the room, with exception of the admins bot. Note; Machines is not a roleplay rank.
12) Have fun.

Additional info:
Away messages/being away/idle is for if you'll be away for a short/unknown period, not if you're playing games or going out for hours at a time/sleeping. Logout if you know you'll be away for ages.
Don't use offensive away messages, you'll be kicked. And please leave administrating to the staff, if you want to have a say or opinion do so without trying to cause more drama or further upset the room.

Multiple warnings will result in a kick and/or ban but do not have to take a ladder system.

Ranks
The Gods: They do exist, don't they? You'll never see them. But worship none-the-less!
The Demi-Gods: The law, and all that jazz. they're the one's who ban.
The Heroes: Prooven their abilities on the field of battle, they enforce the rules upon the chatroom.
