Every site has these types of things, and we are certainly no exception! First and foremost, you should continue reading all the way until the end in order to keep your rear out of the line of fire; there aren't too many so it won't eat up too much time. Depending on how people treat the site and carry on throughout our time, we may or may not see it fit to change our rules however we see fit.
R E S P E C T, you're about to find out what it means to me! We do not want to see you badmouthing anyone, from our guests to the site itself. if you are a guest and you don't like the site, no one is making you join. Hours upon hours of work was put into making this site what it is and it is just rude to come on here and diss all of that hard work. the staff do not believe themselves to be high and mighty; while we may hold more power within the site, it doesn't make us any better and we will not act like we are.
SIGNING UP is simple, but please make sure you do it right. you may use whatever username you'd like but please make your display name your character's full name in all uppercase letters (i.e.: JOHN WILLIAM DOE). try to keep the gender/member ratios even and try to have unique names so we don't have eight different tiffany's or jacob's running around. also, keep your graphics the right size. there are people who can make graphics for you if you don't know how, but please don't stretch the boards.
WORK IN PROGRESS applications will available for a week length of time, before it's moved to the archives/deleted depending on what's been done within the application. the next move that will be done is your account will be deleted.
ACTIVITY makes for a happy site; it's very important for you to sign into your characters every day. we understand that you all have lives that can be unpredictable, but it's better for guest to see that we're active enough to grab their attention. if one refuses to sign into their character at a two week's time, then your character will be moved to inactive; it will stay there for a month and nothing is done with it, then your account will be deleted and you're application will be archived. your activity is what allows multiple characters, so make sure you keep up with everything so we don't have to place a cap on the amount allowed.
THREADS HAVE A LIFESPAN of one month without someone posting in it, then it'll be moved to the archives. if a thread has been moved and you wish to move it back, send a personal message to a staff member to move the requested thread back and the location of the desired thread.
SPAM belongs in your zombie apocalypse food collection, not on shc! this also takes into context that you should not post advertisements, site urls, or anything out of the ordinary into the cbox. if you are convicted of being a troll, you will be banned without warning. we have boards specifically created for advertising, so please keep other sites out of the cbox. if you are a member that wishes to post an advertisement, post it while logged in and we'll pin it. also think of affiliating with us!
RATED PG-13 in regards of the proboards tos, which needs to play affect in all minor and major threads throughout the site and public view. if things start getting towards a whole too graphic for the kids, kindly take it to somewhere a little more private. this is in relation anything dealing with the site (graphics included).
IC DRAMA DOES NOT EQUAL OOC DRAMA. jbecause your character doesn't like someone and is nasty to them does not mean you have the right to be! if things get too intense, just take some time away. we want everyone to feel comfortable and welcome here and we do not want to see any hate or flaming. opinions differ and sometimes people don't get along, we get it, but we ask that you either play nice or just don't interact with the person at all if you can't make things work.
WORD COUNT here is a minimum for 300 words. this is something we know you can handle and trust you can keep up with. rapid fire posts are great, but substantial posts are our goal. we do not have a maximum wordcount, so write to your little heart's desire!
IF YOU NEED HELP with anything at any point, please don't be afraid to ask! whether it be for finding a thread or asking for help with graphics, we are sure that someone will come to your aid or point you in the right direction.
