.OUR LAWS.
.G E N E R A L
_No spamming. On Insanity we believe that spamming is stupid and there is no use for it. If you spam there will be a warning first and if it happens again then you will be punished. This includes double posting. Just don't do it guys.
_No swearing. Sure you guys may do it in real life but there may be young kids who look at these sites. We don't need them going around swearing and saying the website taught them.
_Please have a basic knowledge about dogs. If you say, "They are fluffy and cute and run around" that isn't acceptable. Please don't join if you don't know much about dogs.
_Please have a basic knowledge of Proboards and how it works. If you don't please don't join. Ichigo and Asylum don't want to explain to every new member how to use the Proboards sites.
_Please don't have a huge signature. And only keep one picture/manip in your signature spot. If your sig. is too big a staff member will PM you. If you need a clickable signature just ask Asylum. She will gladly do it for you.
_For all graphic shops and graphics made by you there are a few rules. For all edited pictures and pictures in your profile they need to be from Flickr.com or DeviantArt. If there is a copyright sign or writing on the picture that shows it is copyright then don't use it. Simple as that people. We don't want to get in trouble for breaking copyright laws.
.I N A C T I V I T Y
_Please make a character within a week and a half of you joining. We don't want a bunch of people just joining and then not making a character and letting their account sit around.
_Please make a characters bio and edit it regularly or just finish it sometime within a few weeks. We also don't like random unfinished bios sitting around. If you don't work on it it wil be deleted.
_There will be regular activity check held. If you don't post within the givin amount of time then your account will be deleted.
_If one of your characters has a high position and you don't log in or post anything for a week and a half the position will be up for the taking.
.R O L E P L A Y I N G
_There will be no toleration for flaming [ooc fighting], powerplaying [controling another's charrie], or godmoding [ being invincible to anything]. It is stupid and we don't want any of these things included with Insanity.
Powerplaying Example: Kajii leaped at Rex and ripped into his soft neck. The other dog's blood poured everywhere and the dog died.
It should be like this: Kajii leaped at Rex and attempted to bite his throat.
Godmoding Example: The dog leaped at Kajii but he dived out of the way while biting the other dog. Kajii was unharmed through it all.
It should be like this: The dog leaped at Kajii as he dived out of the way. Kajii bit at the other dog but felt his shoulder flaming up with pain.
_Please use good grammar in all your posts. We appreciate when it is legible. Your posts all look better when they are grammatically correct. There is a spell check button for a reason. If it for any reason doesn't work for you then open up Microsoft word and check it there.
_When RPing please use third person. Asylum gets very annoyed when people post in first person. It's so boring and annoying. Just use third person please.
_The only chatspeak allowed on Insanity is in the cbox. If there is ant chatspeak outside of there especially when RPing you will be in trouble.
_Our post limit here is starting at 200 words per a post. Please don't join if you struggle to post that much. We are a miterate RP site and once we get more members this rule will probably be changed.
_If you really need to say anything while in a thread with someone please put "OOC" before putting what you want to say. When you're done put "IC" before your post. OOC stands for out of character and IC stands for in character.
_If you have a lot of people in one thread please take turns when posting. If you don't it gets a little confusing. If one of the people posting is absent for a while you may put a few more posts but then just wait for them.
.C H A R A C T E R S
_Once you have filled out the character biography sheet just wait for a staff member to to accept it. We are here a lot and Asylum checks up on the site every night. Your bio will be accepted eventually. A little patience won't kill you.
_You can't roleplay your character until your biography is accepted. Just wait.
_Characters can be in only three places at one time. Just make the threads at different times in your charrie's life. Please keep it organized.
_You may have 7 characters at the most. In contests you may be able to gain the ability to get more characters but that isn't gonna happen every other day. The password is 'streetlife' If you have too many characters you will be asked to delete one or give it away.
_If you are going to kill another person's character then please get permission to do so. If you don't have permission your post will be deleted and you will be banned for a short time.
_If you don't want your character anymore please post in the adoption board and someone else can take them.
_Characters don't live forever. Please make them age in RP. they will get older eventually like all animals. They also will die sometime.

_No graphic breeding. It is nasty and against Proboards rules. If you do then there will be harsh consequences. You will be banned for quite a while and Asylum will be very angry with you for a while.
_Females may have pups once they are one year old.
_Females are pregnant for three [real] weeks before having their pups.
_You may RP out the birthing of the pups but you don't have to.
_To get your pups please post in the "New life" board and please follow the form there. Asylum will then put up the stats of all your pups. You and your charie's mate may pick one to keep nad the rest will be up for adoption.
