~Rules~
These rules must be obeyed. If not, you will get a warning meter. If this meter reaches 100%, you will be banned.
1)No foul language at all; this mean no swearing, no swearing with asterisks, no rude language, and nothing you would expect children to be exposed to. Swear acronyms (such as 'WTF' and 'LMFAO') are allowed. Borderline swears that are allowed to be used lightly out of character are 'crap', 'fricking', 'freaking', and 'hell'.
2)Please use the clan boards, location boards, and other cat boards for role playing only. If you wish to talk about other things, you can use the general board. Also, clan cats are to stay in their clan's board, rogues in the rogue board, kittypets in the kittypet board, loners is the loner board, and the Sunflower and The Jade Tree are only for gatherings and half moons. You can cross over to another board only with permission from a staff member.
3)Do not spam the chat. For those of you who do not know what spam on a forum is, it's useless blanks, 'bumps', single words/symbols, or posts that have nothing to do with the topic. Any posts with 3 or less words are considered spam.
4)Listen to your leader, deputy, medicine cats, queens, and all admin/admin assistants.
5)Do not impersonate other players; for example, pretending to be your clan's leader. This goes for all members (warriors, deputies, medicine cats, kits, apprentices, queens, elders, rogues, loners and kittypets).
6)'Powers' that are big or small are not allowed. Your character must act like a generally normal cat. However, if you ask Darkstar, you may be able to get a tiny power - something very small.
7)Do not try and hack this website - we have a plugin that will instantly ban you if you try.
8)Respect all players, no matter what. This means no name calling, ganging up, swearing at, or making fun of.
9)No extreme violence, sexual themes, drug-related topics, or anything that would be considered inappropriate is allowed on any of the boards.
10)No half-breeds, companions, or animals other than cats are allowed without Darkstar's permission.
11)Do not spoil the books for everyone. If you're going to make a thread prior a reply that contains spoilers for anything past the very first Warriors book (that includes spoiling Warriors' names), please write 'SPOILER ALERT FOR BOOK ______!' before doing so in order to warn those who have not read that far yet.
12)For faster loading and the convenience of others with smaller and slower computers, there is a size limit to your signature. You can have as many images and pieces of text as you'd like that roughly are 600x400. If your signature does not fit, then a staff member will either resize it or remove it. Please note that there is about a 25 pixel leeway.
13)Do not advertise websites outside of the advertisement board. Do not PM members links to your website(s) unless they ask you for the link(s). Links to websites (not on Proboards and not in competition to The Four Clans) are allowed to be posted in the general board, however.
14)Mating and dieing are allowed. You can have kits, but you may not adopt them. If you wish to kill your character, you must ask Darkstar (me) for permission. This is done to regulate the number of spirit cats and increase the population of elders and high posters.
15)There is no limit for the accounts; but you must stay active for all of them. For each new character you create, please create a new account. Please, for the sake of the website, try to stick to one clan.
15.5)This stems off of rule 15, but use the account you are logged onto to use the character you're role playing. Do not log into one account and role play a different character. In some cases, this is just laziness, but it can be used to cheat on post count, and leads to confusion for other members.
16)Be sure to have a realistic name. As of now, there are no restrictions of kittypet, loner, or rogue names (as long as they follow the other rules), but warrior names must be realistic. Name parts must use only things and describing words that a cat would know of. You cannot use names from the books. For your display name, have only your character's name and no symbols.
17)No sharing personal information anywhere on The Four Chances--this includes private messages and the shoutbox. While you can share your first name, state/province/region, gender, and appropriate images, do not share your age, city/address, or last name.
