The Laws of Nature {Forum Rules}

Something Catchy : Forum Rules


1. Do not disrupt the forum. Always use common sense and be courteous to all members. You should not insult, harass, annoy, bully or intentionally start fights with others. If someone asks you to stop, you need to kindly stop. If you are being rude to anyone on the cbox or forum, you will be punished.

2. Something Catchy is rated PG-14. What does this mean? It means some content on the forum or chatbox may not be suitable for children under the age of 14. We still accept anyone to join, but be warned you may not like the content. If this is the case, leave now.

3. Spamming is not allowed. Short, annoying or duplicated posts that do nothing to contribute to the conversation will be deleted. Spam also includes the over use of CHATTING IN CAPS.

4. Each person is allowed one account. Because members are able to create multiple characters as they can handle, multiple accounts are a waste of space and will be deleted if found. So please only create one account and stick with it.

5. Avoid extreme chatspeak, even in ooc areas. While lol, wtf, or omg are commonly used, do not, "spk lyk ths."(speak like this) or think "u r cool." even in ooc chat areas. You've joined a discussion/roleplay forum, at least make the effort to type readable English.

6. Forum rules apply to signatures. If anything in your signature is found to be inappropriate or rule breaking it will be edited or removed.

7. Do not impersonate staff or anyone on Something Catchy. This also includes impersonating someone famous or well-known. :\ We can see IP addresses in the cbox and the forum. You will be instantly banned on both the cbox and forum for impersonating someone.

8. Please don't use the cbox for roleplay. The cbox was created for instant 'out of character' chatting, so don't roleplay on it. That's what the forums are for.

Character Creation Rules


-Use the correct profile posting form that we provide to all members. Do not edit or add anything new to the form, as this will allow for quick and easier approval of your character's profile. A character's biography can contain any kind of information, so use that section for any extras you wish to add.

-Post each individual character's profile in a new topic. Do not combine two characters into one profile. You may mention other characters if they have special relationships, but a single profile is reserved for a single character.

-Do not create absurd characters. Inanimate objects or food cannot be made as characters. Cloning characters from popular culture such as Transformers, anime, real or famous people is not allowed. You may loosely base them off of existing cartoon characters, but do not drag any canon stories into Something Catchy.

-Gods, half-gods, demi-gods, or any type of god-like beings are not allowed. Gods only exist in legends, myths and religions. Gods never exist as actual characters and characters never come into contact with them. They also cannot have been created by gods, as this is god moding(Or Mary-Sue).

-Do not copy or steal information off of another character's profile for your own. That information is copyright to the person who created them.

-Make an effort to be descriptive. Profiles should be detailed and in depth. A single sentence isn't enough to tell us all about a character.

-This should be obvious but, WE DON'T ACCEPT MARY SUES/GARY STUS. Your profile will be reviewed before it is accepted, naturally. So if your character has Mary Sue qualities, we'll be sure to point them out.

-YOU CANNOT ROLEPLAY UNTIL YOUR CHARACTER'S PROFILE HAS BEEN APPROVED.

Rules of Roleplay


-Absolutely no Powerplaying or Godmoding. If you don't know what these two things are, then you need to follow this link.

-Do not use chat speak in roleplay. Type your posts in legible, readable English and use proper sentence structure.

-Keep roleplay PG-13. Nothing graphic and use minimum swearing.

-Make an effort to post more than short sentences. While we encourage members to post paragraphs, making smaller posts every-so-often isn't against the rules.

-Take turns while roleplaying. If you post after someone, wait for them to post before posting again. Only if another person becomes inactive for more than several days may you start posting more to keep the thread going.

-Liquid time is allowed. Feel free to have a single character join as many rp threads as you can handle, but do not inconvenience others by posting in many threads and going inactive.
