1. Try not to cuss, IC or OOC. It's understandable if you get angry and need to vent, but don't make a habbit of it. Besides, cats only know swearwords such as "foxdung" and "badgerbrain"; having them say "crap" is rather unrealistic.
2. NO plagarism. Period. If you like something on this site and would like to use it, ASK! Chances are, the answer will be yes. Copying will get you a bad reputation and quite a bit of anger directed your way.
3. No sexual content. It's fine if your characters love each other - but nothing more graphic than there is in the books.
4. Spamming and threatening are no-nos, for obvious reasons; spamming is pointless and makes the site look cluttered, and threatening is ebil and will not be tolerated.
5. No super powers. These cats are cats, not magicflyingsuperspiderpeople - understand?
6. To add on to that, no power-playing (taking over someone else's character) or god-playing (making your character invincible). Either of these will get you a warning at the very least, and more if you do it too often.
7. Three words: Use. Spell. Check. It is there for a reason - there is no excuse for misspellings and grammatical errors with that thing lying around. One of your bio codewords is: Blade.
8. Three good sentences per post, minimum. More is better, of course, but you should be able to post that much even with writer's block. (Harsh? Maybe. But I'm literate obsessed.)
9. Try to fit all your characters into your siggy, including at least the first part of their name and their Clan. It's understandable if you run out of room eventually, but once that happens, try putting their names on an image or something (or asking someone else to, if you're as hopeless at that as I am XD). Giving each cat a unique color is helpful as well, though not required.
10. IC posts need to be in third person.
11. If you'll be away for an extended amount of the time, post in the away board - we want to know where you are.
12. Rainbow-kitties are off limits. Odd patterns are okay, but red, pink, blue, green, etc colored cats will not be accepted.
I do believe that's it...if anyone has anything else to say, please add it. ^^
