RP Rules - updated Sept 17th 08

Sorry, I would rather an RP monitor answer so I actually do know if its safe or not... ^^" But thanks for answer anyways. Just to make sure mods see it and know I still am wanting a reply,

Is it okay to use pics of your characters Names in fancy writing? Example:

Clairity raced away, horror flashing in her eyes. She knew she was being chased. But by whom, that was the question. She never stopped to look back- it would be too great of a risk to do so. She ignored every bit of prey- it wasn't worth risking a bite for death!!!

Ignore RP part under, I just made that up. xD

But yeah, thanks Foxtrot. I'll keep that in mind.

I'm not a mod but i have seen mods warning people about using fontmemes in every post, they view it as spam because it is really unnecessary

As you can clearly see, I am not a mod. However, in the forum rules (don't remember the link, or I would like you to them. Though, they aren't this one), it states that fontmeme counts as spam when done every post.

EDIT: It is considered decorative spam which is why it isn't allowed.

So, I've been reading what I could find around the site about images. Basically it's just best to use your own or none at all? I've been itching to join some RPs and just wanted to be 100% sure. (:

I personally prefer a text description of a character to an image, but I know that most don't feel that way. Here is a list of what I suggest (Should I make a guide for this? I see a lot of questions about it.)

1. Use a text descriptions: Absolutely no chance of getting in trouble.

2. Use a picture you drew or a photograph you took: (Never use a photo of yourself. Pets are fine though. ) A small chance of getting accused of art theft, but most likely not.

2. Color a free for use off site lineart from someplace like DA: Chances of misreading and using something not allowed or not linking to lineart and getting in trouble.

3. Use a doll maker like www.dolldivine.com which has a bunch of customization games like MLP, wolves, dragons, horses, big cats, and lots of type of humans. The games range on how much you can customize them, but they're still awesome. Just remember to put that you use a Doll Divine creator and you're golden. That's all the credit you have to give. (If you use a different site just remember to credit the artist.)

Okay, thank you. (: I'll either use my own pictures or just do text discription. Also, I think a guide would be useful. (;

Hi there. ^^
We've got a really handy guide which was made to help people start RPs. It's very helpful, and I'd recommend you take a look. :3

Is the reference to someone having been a smoker against rules? If it's just in past tense and the person has recently quit?
