Here are some rules and guidelines that we admins would really appreciate for you guys to follow as you have participate on this forum.
-Please keep your comments clean. We don't want to see any cussing or swearing on here. If we do, the posts will be deleted.
-Please don't modify the font size or change font colors! It can be distracting and can be a bit blinding. We wish for the forum to look as uniform as possible.
-Not only your comments, but please keep your profile pictures clean and modest. Please have your profile picture and your username be of the character you are role-playing as. If you have multiple characters, you can have your username and profile name as the newsie you are playing. Just make sure you put your main (or "blank") profile name as the person who is role-playing or adopting in your introductions for each new newsie. (Ex.: Spot Conlon, Role-played by: Paper.Prince)
-Also, please make sure as you role-play that your posts are family-friendly. There are guests online who might be skimming over this forum, and we don't want them to be scarred for life. XD
-You may role-play as any character from Newsies, but if the character is already taken, please do NOT create the same character even if your username will be different.
-Also, if someone has already taken a certain actor/actress as their profile pic, you cannot use that actor/actress. Please find a new profile pic that no one else has. (This will help prevent confusion.)
-If you want to pair your character up with another character, please make sure it's okay with the other person who is role-playing.
-Please keep Newsies characters to be as canon and historically accurate as possible.
-OCs are welcome! If you want to create your own original character (OC), feel free to do so. For profile pictures, you may take pictures from the Creating and Adopting thread. Just be sure to alert admins of what pictures you will be using. If you don't want to use a picture from the forum, feel free to make your own! Just be sure that the picture is clean and modest. Thank you!
-Please do not assume what the character or characters you are in a thread with will do. You may think you know the character but you never know for sure. Just give the other person a chance to respond with what they want. This makes for a more entertaining and enjoyable thread for all involved.
-Don't hog threads! This forum is free and is for everyone to participate. Let others join in the fun.
-In the above rule, don't hog, but also remember for the sake of other people's plot line, don't just jump into a thread for no reason. Make sure it makes sense. If you're unsure, just message the other people participating in the thread to make sure it's okay. We hope this won't be a problem but felt it should be addressed just in case. X3
-Please be nice to others! We know your character(s) might not like certain character(s) but please be tactful. There is another person play that character(s) and it might hurt them. Would you want them to do that to you? So please be considerate of others. If we find or hear there is any sort of that trouble, we will try to pm you personally and if it keeps up, we may have to ban you from this forum. That isn't something we have pleasure in doing, but we don't want trouble on our forum. We just want fellow Newsies fans to be happy and have fun on here.
-Please please please no slash, yao, or whatever it is called. Like said in the above, anyone could be on this forum and we don't want them or ourselves to be scarred for life. Also, this is a Victorian time period! Please be historically accurate. If this offends you, we are afraid that you'll just have to find a different forum that allows that.
-Also, to avoid making things awkward, please refrain from having characters pretending to be the opposite gender. It seems kind of Victorian, but this is set in the Victorian time period so characters are going to be used to Victorian morals. There have been that instances during this time girls had to pretend to be boys in order to protect themselves, but in order to keep this site family-friendly, let's avoid those types of story-lines.
-If we see someone ignoring any of the rules, we will be giving a warning pm and if you keep it up, we may have to ban you from the forum. So please follow the rules! We don't want to have to ban anyone.
-Please don't forget to introduce your characters in the Introduction thread! You can have as many characters (accounts) as you like but keep in mind not to hog any threads with just your characters. Also, if you are going to have several characters on here, please have a variety from different boroughs. Don't hog over an entire borough, please.
-To any guests, you guys and gals may feel free to post if you want to jump in even if you don't have an account. Just be sure to put in the name of the character you are role-playing as. We'd love to have you participate even if you don't have an account.
-To create a better sense of community, please introduce yourself in the Community Introductions thread. Please be aware that this is an online site and anyone can see your posts. You do not (and probably should not) need to give your real name or other important info. There will be guidelines set in the thread that will help you if you wish to introduce yourself.
-Just wanted to also note, if any of you guys are having problems, please please pm Paper.Prince or one of the other admins and let us know. We will do our best to help and/or fix whatever is wrong. We want this to be a fun place. We don't want people feeling hurt and not having fun.
-If you wish to message the admins, the admins are Paper.Prince and Sidestep.
Have fun!
