All members of Survival of the Fittest are expected to follow these rules.
Etiquette
Be kind to other members. Please never make fun of another member or use harsh words on them. If a member is acting disrespectfully to you, contact the admin or a moderator about the issue and we will handle it.
Cursing
No bad language should be used anywhere on the forum. An occasional use of d*mn or h*ll may be used in RP's, but you will recieve a warning if used on any of the member boards.
Spam
Any posts that do not relate to the topic may be deleted and you will recieve a warning. For instance, if a member posts about their dog, please do not reply with a story of the time you went to splish splash with your family. Another way of spamming is double postingDouble posting is only allowed if your topic is on the second page of the list of topics. If the topic has gone beyond the third page, please make a new topic instead of bumping up the original.
Advertising
All advertising is to be done in the 'Other Sites' board. Unless asked by another member for the link to your site, do not send links to other sites in PMs. Information about links in signatures will be found below.
Avatars & Signatures
All avatars must not exceed 100x100 pixles. All signature images must not exceed 500x200 pixles. However, you may have multiple images. For example, you can have two half sized images, both 500x100. If you are confused, ask the admin or a mod for help. You may not have more than four lines of text in signatures. If you are using signature images, that number decreases to three.
About links in signatures; you may have as many links as you want, as long as you do not exceed the three or four line limit.
RP Rules
You may have as many characters as you're able to RP.
All other rules apply to the RP boards. Any sexual content is not allowed. If you want your character to have pups/cubs, you must PM the member who owns the character you want to have pups/cubs with. You must post at least five sentances in each RP post, though more would be nice.
Rules on Wolf-dogs
Wolf hybrids are possible, especially where there are wolves present. For the time being, I will allow wolf hybrids (this means wolf x dog and wolf x coyote)
This rule may change in the future as I don't want more hybrids than purebreds. (a mix of wolf subspecies is always allowed)
Age & Account Number
You must be at least 13 to join the site. This is Proboards rule and also a law of the United States. You will be immediately banned if the staff find out you are underage. You may only have one account. If you try to create another account, the staff will ban the second account and give you a warning.
Thank you for reading through the rules. If another character is seen breaking them, please contact the admin or a mod about the issue. If you break the rules and you are a first time offender, you will be warned and banned for three days (this may be avoided if the rule broken isn't too serious.) If you are known for breaking rules, the admin and at least one other mod has to agree that you should be banned. You will recieve a notice a week before you are banned (this is in case there is a misunderstanding.)
Warnings
When you break the rules, the staff will put a note in red text on your account that will be visable to all users. If you wish to get this note removed, message the admin or a mod after two months and request it to be removed.
