01. Respect the members:You'll have a much nicer time here if you act kindly towards everyone else. The CBox and the PM system are a privilege, so if you use them to harass or upset other members, they can be taken away.
02. No Godmodding, Metagaming without permission from affected players: The term 'Godmodding' refers to a style of writing which often completely ignores what the other player's character is doing, or renders them unable to do anything.
--For example:
--Player A: Punches Player B.
--Player B: Dodges attack, grabs Player A and throws him. Player A flies at Player B, who warps behind him and slashes Player A in the back.[/div]
Godmodding can also be the constant dodging of another player's attacks, projectiles, etc:
--Player B states, "Having exploited A's mistake and caught hold of him, B strikes A."
--Player A states, "B completely missed A, and A takes no damage."
That is not to say Godmodding can only occur in fight scenes - Indeed, it can occur anywhere!
The term 'Metagaming' refers to a player who uses OOC information, such as another characters inner feelings, to affect their character's IC actions.
--For Example:
--Player A: Player A feels sad, but puts on a happy face for Player B.
--Player B: Wonders why Player A is sad.
Other examples include instantly rescuing a captured person that they did not know was captured, quickly finding hidden keys to locked doors, finding a cure for afflictions very quickly, etc.
03. Keep advertising to the relevant area on the board: This means it shouldn't go in your profile, or your signature, or in PMs to other players
04. Register with your Character's name: Use proper capitalisation, and either the format: First name, Last name, or: First Name. Please create accounts on a Character by Character basis - No characters should or need to share an account.
05. You may create as many characters as you can keep active: However, they may still be denied if the staff feel that you are neglecting other characters.
06.For your mech, you may use an image from any anime/manga/cartoon (provided they fit the site): You may also use your own art. However, do not steal art. You will be discovered.
07. No Canons: This is not a Canon site, so canons should not be applied for.
08. Characters should be represented by Animanga Characters only: At Destroy:Rebuild, we do use the play-by system. Therefore, we'd like you to have an Animanga play-by when you apply. No real-life or Video Game Characters (that are not in an Animanga style). Drawings done in the aforementioned style are also acceptable.
09. Don't post messages in the CBox that are destructive to the site: These things include random Hello's, and asking if anyone is here, or why it is so quiet, and other such messages. Do not swear or whine in the CBox, either.
10. Keep the board PG-13: Due to Proboards' TOS, any vulgar or pornographic images/text, excessive violence and graphic scenes, and generally anything considered R rated will be immediately removed, and the offending member will be banned. Consider this your warning.
11. Don't start drama:If you feel mistreated, PM the staff to help sort it out.
12. There is a three strike warning system: After the first offense, you will be reprimanded. After the second offense, you will receive a temporary ban, with a duration that the staff see as fair, and after the third offense, you will be permabanned. The staff reserve the right to ignore the three strike system in extreme situations.
13.Avatars should be no more than 100x100, and Signatures no more than 500x150:Both should represent your character.
