Notes
It takes 3 warnings to receive probation, and two probations to be banned.
Warnings are given out based on the rule broken, and how badly the said rule was broken.
Probation is a two week period where the person on probation is not allowed to post OOCly.
In short, it takes 6 warnings to be banned.
OOC Rules:
I. The number one rule for all of Crystal Waters is to respect one another. If you have a beef with someone, please do not take it to the forum; instead please keep it to private messaging. If the problem continues, there is little that the staff can do for you. The best option is to ignore it, unless it gets out of hand. (For example, as administrator, I need to know if someone is sending you insults without any cause for it).
This also means that you do not take problems from an RP into reality. If a character does something you don't like, remember that it's the character acting, and not the RPer.
II. Swearing is to be kept to a minimum. It's allowed, but please reserve the worst of it for "Rants."
III. Do not use chatspeak or '1337' when talking unless in jest.
IV. Do not spam.
V. Do not make OOC posts anywhere out of the OOC area, unless instructed to do so. ((OOC comments such as this are fine, so long as they are not often without an IC post as well.))
IC Rules:
I. No one liners! I understand we all have our down days, but try to keep all posts at least four sentences long. That's not a lot, and we won't burn you at the stake for posting less, but you will receive a warning for single-sentence/one liner posts.
II. Death and dying is absolutely A-OK on Crystal Waters, but do NOT kill a character without consenting with the user. If the administration sees this happen, you will be given a warning. Also, if your character is integral to an upcoming plot, an administrator or moderator may contact you to let you know your character... mysteriously survived.
III. Sexually explicit posts should be marked at the top of the thread in the subject with either three asterisks, or "ADULT."
For example:
1. Subject: K'vron's Weyr***
2. Subject: K'vron's Weyr [ADULT]
IV. This should not even have to be said. NO chatspeak in IC posts.
V. This is a canon Weyr. No silver fire-lizards, no male goldriders, no female bronzerider as a mother, etc. We go by the book on most things, though we are a tad loose. See "dragon rules" for more information.
VI. All characters should fit NATURAL human specifications. Natural skin tones (pale pink, tan, brown) and natural hair tones. You may have a light haired character dye their hair darker, but no unnatural colours. We'd prefer it if characters were between the height of 4'9" and 7'2".
Eye Colours:
Hazel
Green
Blue
Brown (darkened to "black")
Amber (yellow)
Gray
No albino characters will be accepted unless otherwise specified.
Also, no "magical" abilities.
Hair Colours:
Brown
Red*
Black
Auburn
Blond*
White
Gray
*Red and blond hair is not common on today's Pern, with exception to the Erdan Island Chain, where redheads are in abundance. If your character is a redhead or blond, you may be asked to alter your character's hair colour depending on the current ratio on the site. First-come first-serve, if you post your blond character five minutes AFTER someone else's character is posted for acceptance, YOU are the one who has to change the hair colour.
