RP Rules - updated Sept 17th 08

And how about writing in another languages? Maybe Russian?

I believe this is fine as long as the words in german are no offensive or breaking any CS rules.

Ok, so this member and I hate eachother (this happened on another site.)
And I apply for one of her RPs, with a WIP fourm, what does she do? Decline me. In a rude manner to. Even if she hates me,, does that give her the right to decline me just because she dislikes me? I don't know if it's againced the rules.

Owners of roleplays have the right to decline and accept as they choose. Sadly there is nothing CS can do to fix this. If you really want to join the roleplay try pming the person and personally asking them but remember not to be rude about it.

If they were rude in declining please report them, that's basically all you can do.

I have a quick question, and as I have not seen it answered, nor posed, anywhere else, I decided this might be the best place to pose said question. I was wondering if it is allowed to make two threads for a roleplay, one for the character biographies and sign ups, and the other for the actual roleplay? This way all of the biographies and character sheets are in one place instead of mingled into roleplay posts, thus - in my opinion - cluttering up the roleplay. On top of this question, I was wondering something else, if we are allowed to make multiple threads, are we then allowed to make multiple roleplay threads as they are dictated? Like, for say, "Clans of the Ruins" is a Warriors roleplay separated into four sections; WillowClan, AshClan, RuinClan, and WebClan though, because it would be far too confusing for everyone in each of those Clans to post on a single thread, is it then possible to make one roleplay thread for each of the Clans? Leaving links to the others and the sign ups on the main page of each. I have roleplayed on a few different sites now, and have found that making at least two different threads {one for the sign ups and one for the roleplay} is the far simpler solution for the person participating in the actual roleplay, though I wanted to be sure it was not against the rules to do such here as I have not seen any, or at the very least, only a handful of roleplays posed in such a manner. I thank you ahead of time for your acknowledgment and I eagerly anticipate an answer to my questions.

Boards for multiple roleplays (willowclan, ashclan, etc) is allowed as long as they are all on topic. I do not believe having a thread with character sign-ups is allowed. All I can suggest is that you use the help ticket system and ask a moderator. Possibly you could b allowed to post it on another board (share your art, clubs and armies, etc).
Hope this helped!

I'm not too keen on song lyrics and i hate it when people make their wolves sing
But what annoys me is when people make their first post of their roleplay song lyrics from a random song that has nothing to do with the roleplay with a bunch of pictures they don't own. To me this is spam and also the singing during the roleplay i see as spam because its just a way to make the post really really really long and i don't like it, maybe just sing one lyric to show what song you are singing or just state what song you are singing. I find it really unnecessary especially in ANIMALS!

I believe this comment belongs here:
Things That Annoy You Thread

This is not a ranting thread, this is a thread to ask questions about roleplays.

I probably should have made it clear that i'm asking if this is spam or not

Ah ok, yes it would be best to make your question clearer.

Posting full song lyrics in a normal post (not sign up/form post) could be considered spam. It is un-nessasary and just fill up their post. Placing a few song lyrics though would probably be ok. E.g. Three lines from the chorus. For pictures as well, unless it is in their sign-up/form it could also be considered spam. I would recommend you send a Help Ticket or contact a Roleplay Moderator to receive details on do's and don'ts of image and song lyric posting.

If the owner of a forum topic is roleplaying with a different person, but leave a trail of posts, is that the same as leaving for dead?
