This forum was designed as a gathering place where weres and shapeshifters can talk and discuss things of importance to them. Due to this, we all need some ground rules in order to coexist and function peacefully.
The rules for this forum are as follows:
1. You are only allowed a maximum of one account. The only way you can get around this is if you list that your account is linked (somewhere on your profile page) to the other account you posses. However, if not listed sometime after the account is created, expect to get a message inquiring into that.
2. Please put threads in their respective categories.
3. No rank superiority. Here, the only "ranks" that actually "matter" are admin and mod. For that matter, just because you are alpha of a pack or whatever and your members also browse the forum, doesn't mean that you can take pack disputes onto the forum involving them. If you have a skirmish, take it to PM.
4. You can curse, but try to not be excessive about it. (Not a rule, just letting people know.)
5. Keep discussion of illegal substances or activities, potentially violent or graphic material, and pornographic material off of the site, please (exception is only in the Mature Forum)
6. Please refrain from roleplaying (as this is not a roleplaying site.) Doing things such as *rolls over on his belly* or *barks and howls wildly* is fine if it's done every once in a while. But if most of your posts are starting to consist of *whines and nuzzles* or *howls*, we will think you're not taking this seriously.
7. Stay on topic, please. Of course, it is fine to go off topic gradually if a question has been answered, but if there's a topic about werewolves shifting and you come in going "I love to eat pizza", be aware that you will be warned about it and, depending on the post, it may be deleted.
8. No personally identifying information. Things like addresses and phone numbers are not allowed on the forums. Social media sites and emails are allowed, however use at your own risk.
9. This is a site for those who identify themselves as werebeasts or shapeshifters in some manner, and generally, not a site aimed at other forms of identification. Of course, while people from all walks of life are allowed here, keep in mind that this is a site for shapeshifters/weres, and thus, discussion will be geared towards weres and other kinds of shapeshifters.
11. Be nice. While you're allowed to curse here, and allowed to voice dissenting opinions, you are not allowed to verbally curse at or attack another member for what they believe. Criticism and skepticism is one thing, blatant harassment and flaming is another.
Failure to comply with the rules will and can result in warnings, temporary banning, or the eventual permanent ban of your account.
Admins reserve the right to make changes to the site at any time, with or without warning.
