As a member of Going Viral, we ask that you follow these short and simple guidelines, so that this site may continue to function efficiently. (well not so much short, but you get the concept, follow them or else).
Any action of this manner shall be acted upon immediately and with full force by any of the admins.
[2] No harassment/Disrespect: Any action, of, by or pertaining to the acts of harassment by or to another member, or any visitor, including the members of staff, or disrespect of the same manner will NOT be tolerated under any circumstance.
[3] Member/Character Inactivity: In the case that you do not let us know that you will not be around for a bit, you will be considered inactive until you let us know. If you still do not let us know in some way, your account considered dead and will be deleted. This goes for all members, staff included. The same goes for your characters. You must have each character active in at least one thread and if you do not use said character for an extended period of time, it will be deleted and you will have to replace it with another character.
[4] Sexual Content: Yes, we may have aloud there to be marriages on here... But that does not mean we want to read about the hanky-panky going on behind closed doors. If you want to do that stuff, do it in private messages, please. We all don't want to have to burn out or eyes. So yes, that means me and Riu will re-frame from any "sexual content" on the site... At least where you all can see (just kidding, like I would want anyone to know if anything is going on with me and him? =P ).
[5] Characters: Any member of the site can request to make a character, we just wish that you follow the guidelines of the character template. Your character can be of your own creation or based of a character from an anime.
-Creating a character: The main thing is to follow the outline of the character template. To find it, you have to go:
1) Scroll down to the "Characters" category.
2) Click the "Characters" board.
3) You will find the template under the title "Character application", click on this.
4) Scroll down to the bottom of the thread and click "Highlight Code"
5) After this, you go to the sub-board in the "Characters" board marked "Character applications"
6) Fill it out then wait for it to be accepted before using it to post.
Please also note that a member MUST have an accepted or approved character in order to RP. Said character must also participate in the RP thread to be considered legitimate. Any RP post that is started without an active character to use in the thread, AND the actual usage of the character in the post, will be locked upon sight. The member who posted will then be notified to obtain a character accordingly. If no character is obtained within one week of the post, said post will be considered dead and will be deleted.
[6] Character Number Limitation: A member is only aloud to have a set number of ten characters. Any character that is made after the ten character mark will be denied until a compromise of the member deciding to either get rid of a character that is not in use or they delete the character that is being denied them-self.
[7] God-modding: God-modding with a character (i.e. the character is able to block everything, cannot be killed, controls all elements, always strikes its opponents, etc) or having invincible characters in an RP will not be tolerated. Any act of killing without the express permission of the owner, shall be considered god modding, and shall be punished accordingly. Members are permitted to kill another person's character if that person has given the aggressor permission to kill said character, but without that given permission, no killing for you.
[8] Post length: All posts made must be LEAST two paragraphs. Any posts less then that will have to be either rewritten or deleted. We can forgive for there being a time or "writers block" but that can't be used as an excuse every time will not be tolerated and believed. If you have "writers block" enough to only have dialog in a post, don't post until you can think of something better.
[9] Codes: for now, the only code worth mentioning are the ones for groups/organizations and characters. There will be a different code for each. This code will also let us know that you have read the rules and know what is expected of you.
Character code: "outcast"
Group/Organizations code: "democracy"
These codes will be changed every other month so make sure to keep an eye out for any changes in these rules.
[10] Become a Member: When you join this site, please become active on the site. Not only that, but be loyal as well. Do not just make a membership and never come back. As soon as you join, get out there and introduce yourself. And of course, have fun.
[11] Shotgunpete42193 will be in charge of the sales shop (where the raiders and scavengers can sell what they find in the rp's) he will also regulate what you find so you cant pick somthing up every post you must Pm him with a list of things you want to find in the entire thread, and he will cut it down to what is realistic for the apocalypse.
[/ul]
Thank you for reading the rules and we look forward to getting to know and roll play with you in this forum. Happy posting.~

- More than one post in a thread that you are sharing with any other member of the site. Please keep it to one at a time and wait your turn to post again after someone has contributed to their part.
- More than 3 posts in the chat-room at a time is completely disrespectful to other members of the chat-room that is present on the site. if you have something to say, don't have it spaced out, form complete sentences and wait for others to say something before you speak again.
