Site and Roleplaying Rules
Originally written by Eclipse, edited and updated by Virtuoso
No G-modding.
Don't kill off someones cat without their consent. It just causes problems. If you wish to fight and injure, that's okay. Scarrings are okay, but blinding may/may not be.
Cats cannot be killed off unless an Admin gives consent.
NO SWEARING ALLOWED ON EITHER FORUMS OR THE CHAT/SHOUTBOX. Keep in mind we have children on this website. If you wouldn't want a 9 or 8 year old reading that, don't post it. If you wish to post something that would be for ages 13 AND 13 ONLY, (Meaning there wouldn't be any intense sexual references or too much gore), then you must PM an admin beforehand and state in the title that it is for 13 years and up. The site has strict censorship so we'll know if you're swearing. However, if the word is censored then there's not much point to penalize you.
What an admin says, goes.
Profiles must be accepted before roleplay. If you are to roleplay with a character before it is accepted, it WILL BE DECLINED.
Creating your own pack, clan, or whatever is not allowed. If you wish to do so, PM an admin beforehand.
Keep in mind that the Warrior Code has nothing to do with Roleplay rules. Those are IC (In character) rules. The rules I have stated here are OOC (Out of character) rules. Meaning, the OOC are the ones that you must always follow.
Rape and such is not allowed, as well as extremely explicit matings and kittings. I’ve stated this before, but I felt I needed to say it again, as I feel someone will cross the line. Certain types of roleplay are allowed, but Explicit Roleplay (ERP) Is not allowed.
No making your own prophecy.
If you wish to have something devastating occur to the clan, then PM an admin beforehand. Same goes with and huge journeys that take multiple cats out of the clans.
You must specify if you are doing a 1v1 roleplay. If you don’t then we can assume it was for all people to join.
If you have a high position, please do not go inactive for a long period of time. This isn’t a rule, but if you are inactive too long, then your title may be revoked.
Do not roleplay for others unless you have been given permission. If an admin gives you the right, then you may, or if the person gives you the right themselves; don’t assume it’s alright, as it causes conflicts.
Be kind to others, and do not harass others. Harassment includes Bullying, Calling names, Asking for personal information, Threats, Verbal Abuse, or things that go along this line. If you see things like this, Report it. Keep in mind, harassment in Roleplay is okay as long as you aren’t purposely trying to be mean to the other person.
Keep drama to yourselves, or to the General Problems section of the forum. We don’t all need to know your problems. If someone is being mean, just pm an Admin. Don’t rant on the chat, or in roleplay.
Do not bump a thread more than once every 3 days.
Don’t post multiple threads on the same topic. It’s spam, and it isn’t liked.
Don’t make yourself deputy and things like that. Unless you are told otherwise, you’ll be the rank you are. That means if you are deputy, until that leader dies and/or quits or you have been told otherwise, you stay deputy.
Don’t cause drama, or make official threads yourself. Unless you have been told so, don’t post Gathering threads, new clan members, etc. Ask first.
One-liners are not allowed. Posts on a thread must be at least 2 sentences.

Do not accept/critique profiles unless you're mod, or are told you may, or are asked to critique.
You cannot abort your kits if you already have made a thread about adopting them.
Keep roleplays on topic, and don't try to make the roleplay all about yourself. it tends to be boring and cause issues.
Evil characters are allowed, but no massacres unless you ask.
I'm pretty sure this is covered by the G-modding rule, but DO NOT make your kit have exceptional powers. They cannot hunt at that age; they can barely walk. I understand if they are several moons old; but don't try to do it instantaneously.
If you have an injury to your cat, stick with it. That means if they break their leg, don't just go and say they're magically fine in another thread 2 minutes later. 2 days later? Maybe, because it gets boring.
Don't make your own apprentice ceremony/warrior ceremony. Leave it to the mods.
Don't make your cat have more than 6 kits in a litter. It's just too many.
