THE RULES
one welcome to living louder, dreaming longer, we are a short app, no word count rp site set in los angeles, california. When registering we ask that you register with either the first name of your character or your alias and whatever number character it is. This is so it makes things easy for you. When posting your app, please do it in the pending board. An admin will then take a look over your app, but please don't post anywhere until your accepted. Then, when you have registered, please change your username to first middle last in LOWER case. It just makes everything neater, make sure to post in the claims, and if you reserve a character it lasts five days
two So here at living louder, dreaming longer we have a limit of no more than ten characters, this is because we've noticed on other sites, people make ten+ characters and do not have them all active, which means that popular playbys are not available to others when they could have them active. However, if you have a few characters and then make a new one, you may be denied if you haven't been active with them. Also, it is important that when you take a playby, they look their age. For example, you couldn't have Johnny Depp potraying a 20 year old. HOWEVER...you would be able to use younger pictures of him to portray your character! If we feel that a character looks too young/old to be the age you've chosen for them we will ask you to change your app. We accept all popular face claims, so this includes actors, singers, models etc but NO site models please. We don't allow double claims unless they are a twin which will be indicated with (*) We don't have a ratio for boys to girls (example every 3 girls = 1 boy) because not everyone can play boys. However we do ask you to consider the ratio if you play both.
three Activity is always an issue on sites, and we want to keep our board active so please make sure you do. Now this doesn't mean you have to be online everyday. We all have lives and real life stuff right? But just be as active as you can, and if you are going away or not going to be around please post in the absences board and let us know! Staff members do keep watch over members activity, and if your not being active you may recieve a PM with a warning that you could be deleted. However, this is only if you only sign in and out and do not post anything. Also, posting in games does no count as active, neither do just IM threads. Active means a proper post. Make sure that you don't take on more characters you can deal with. We do ask for you to sign in to all of your accounts daily, just to check for PMs etc and to help with the activity of the site. if you make an account and don't do anything within three days you will be deleted, if you make an account and have an app, but do not post a thread within five days, you will be deleted.
four we don't have a word count here but that doesn't mean that you can post one liners, though we are not expecting everyone to be able to post 1000+ words, just go with what you are comfortable with and your ability, we feel if there is a word count, it makes it less fun around here, and afterall, that is what we are here for right? To have fun! However, everyone has bad days and we can allow exceptions. However please try and match what the person you rp with gives you. We do go by quality over quantity though, and as long as the person has enough to respond it is fine.
five in order to go by proboards TOS we cannot have threads that have content over PG-13 (12) this means that violence, sexual references and drug use is limited, basically anything you wouldn't see in a movie rated this, we don't want on our site. When rping out a sex scene you can use fade to black. We don't want the site getting shut down because of this so PLEASE take note. Any threads which are seen to have excessive content will be removed without warning and you will get a PM with an explaination as to why. This includes cbox use also.
six With lines such as pregnancy, we do ask for you to do your research and keep in mind how your character will be feeling and the changes they will go through. You must pm an admin before having a character be pregnant, as well as having a character be killed. This goes for any such line that is popular, if you need any help/advice on plots or storylines, either ask in the cbox or shoot one of us admins a message, we are always happy to help!
seven so I think I may have briefly touched on this, but I wanted to expand on it. If we see or hear anyone being disrespectful to members they will get a warning, after three warnings you wil get banned. Respect is not hard, if you dislike someone, you don't need to voice it okay? Lets save the drama for ICC right? If ANYONE has an issue regarding this you MUST PM one of us, so we can deal with it in the correct way. We don't want to hear that anyone has been rude to members and certainly shouldn't have to hear about people being rude to admins. If you have a problem please PM us, yes...but arguing will get you no where, especially if it is about one of the rules.
eight So we have a OOC box and a ICC box. OOC This has the same rule as site wide, RESPECT. please do not come on the cbox and bash members, it won't get you anywhere, and you will be banned from the cbox also. We also do not want any advertising for your own sites in the cbox or link in your name. (You can do this on your profile) However, feel free to link your plot page to your name, or a want ad but please do not excessively ask to plot or try and get people to take want ads (yes I am guilty of this myself) you can do it, but make sure you don't over do it okay? As for ICC we only allow chat, reason for this is because of proboards TOS and we don't want to overstep the boundaries. yes, mini RP is fun, but you can always make your own personal and private cbox?
nine for graphics we ask you not to stretch the board. Feel free to have a gif as your avatar/sig but we ask that graphics for your signature are no larger than 200 x 300 for two images, and 450 x 300 for one. As for avatars, up to 150 x 200 is allowed.
ten have fun! This is why we made this site! Enjoy it and make new friends! If you have any concerns or questions regarding any of the rules, please PM one of us
