Rules
1. Treat others as you wish to be treated. It's called the Golden Rule in some places, and it's a good one. Remember, we're all here to have fun. Your fun isn't any more valuable than anyone else's, so don't ruin it for them if you don't want it ruined for you.
2. That said, tell someone if you're uncomfortable. It doesn't have to be the person, you could tell the mods and they'll handle the situation. We can't do anything if no one admits that there's a problem.
3. For things like suicide, sex, self-mutilation, torture, abuse, etc. you will need to put up a warning in the post and place the content behind a cut. You should also consider asking beforehand to see if it's going to bother anyone. Be considerate. This flashes back to rule #1.
4. Non-consensual sex plots are strictly banned.
5. The mods reserve the right to ban toxic players for out-of-game actions (Racism, bullying, etc.), provided they have evidence of such.
6. All players must have a Permissions Post for their character, which will be linked on the Taken List alongside the character's journal. You can get one here if you don't already have one, but any style of permissions will do as long as it covers the same essential information. Don't do something to a player that goes against their permissions post (ex. if they say not to break the fourth wall, don't have your character call them out on being fictional; if they so no injuries without permission, don't make assumptions in your replies and say your character injured theirs).
7. If someone does do something against your wishes, see rule #2. It may be a simple misunderstanding, so please try to ask the other player to correct their mistake first before contacting a mod.
8. IC =/= OOC. Just because a character is a massive jerk in the game, it doesn't mean that the player is. Just because a character hates your character, it doesn't mean that the player does. Please keep that in mind.
9. The opposite is also true: if you have issues with a player OOCly, don't use your character as a mouthpiece. OOC problems should be handled OOCly between players, or with a mod, and not through IC interactions.
