Menewsha Roleplay Forum Rules

Hello and welcome to the roleplaying forums! Before you get to playing, there are some important rules we need to cover.

  • All posts must abide by Menewsha's Rules and Terms of Service.
    .
  • Please remember that Menewsha is a PG-13 site. If you would like to create a roleplay that oversteps those boundaries, you may do so at Menewsha's "cousin" site, WTF RPG.
    • Romance is permitted, but scenes of sexual acts are not. You may employ a "time skip" effect when roleplaying these types of situations.
    • If you plan on having a particularly violent roleplay, we would ask that you place a warning for it at the beginning of your thread and/or the graphic posts, so that no one will read it who does not want to. However, please keep in mind that overly graphic/disturbing violence will not be allowed.
    • Rape (any sexual act that is non-consensual), incest, beastiality, and sexual or otherwise inappropriate contact with minors (any character under 18 perpetrated by a character over 18) is absolutely prohibited from any roleplay, regardless of whether it is explicitly written or mentioned as part of a character's backstory. You may not ask that other users roleplay these subjects with you offsite.
Any roleplays that become overly explicit will be removed without warning. Repeatedly roleplaying explicit scenes will earn you an infraction. If you feel that your roleplays must venture into explicit territory, you must take the roleplay offsite, such as to another website, email, or instant messenger. You may not continue an explicit roleplay in Menewsha private messages.
  • Anything not written by yourself must be put into quote tags ([quote]text here[/quote]). This includes character profiles that you did not write.
    • If you would like to continue a roleplay here from another site, it must be within quote tags and can only be the most recent posts. If you wish to store more than just the most recent few posts, please use your Menewsha blog.
    .
  • Flobs (any image or text used for post decoration, such a picture of your character used in every post) are not allowed on Menewsha. You may use such a decoration for your very first post in the roleplay or in the "set up" posts of the thread. You may include a one-off picture that is relevant to your post (such as a picture of a new location or character, clothing, weapons, etc.) within the normal flow of the RP, but not as a flob.
    • If you need a way to distinguish between multiple characters you write, you may change the color, size, or font of your text. You may also use [line]color[/line] to show further separation.
    • You may roleplay with your mule (second) account, however, you may not roleplay between to your two accounts. If you and another user are roleplaying with each other and are found to be on the same IP, a member of staff may contact you to prove that you are indeed two separate users. You may not use a charity mule to roleplay.
    .
  • Please respect the rules that each original poster has put forth for their roleplay. Do not god mod/godmode or post in an RP you have not been accepted into, unless stated by the OP that you may do so. If you post in a roleplay that you have not been accepted into, it may be considered spam and your post may be deleted.
    .
  • All posts outside of the Menewsha Nations forum must be in English. You may not post foreign language roleplays. The only exception to this is if a character occasionally speaks a foreign language, however it must be brief.

Please note that breaking any of these rules will earn you a warning. Repeatedly breaking these rules will earn you an infraction against your account. If you're unsure of whether a post you're about to make is allowed, please feel free to PM it to a moderator with your concerns.
