RULES:
xX Activity: This is one of the most important rules. Without active members, there would be no DiamondClan. I don't expect you to post every day, but try and go on at least once a week. I reserve the right to demote or delete characters. Inactive Supreme Roleplayers may also be demoted.
xX Literacy: This is a semi-literate Clan, meaning I expect at least four lines of detailed roleplay. Lines, not sentences. I also expect decent grammar, and believable characters. As such, I require that new members take a literacy test. It's simple, but necessary; Members will be given a prompt, and they will be accepted or rejected based on their response. DiamondClan reserves the right to reject members deemed unliterate. You can take the test again, after two weeks. All testing will be done through private messaging (PM) in order to assure privacy.
xX Appropriateness: Please keep this roleplay PG-13. Strong swears are NOT allowed, with the exception of "damn" and "hell", and perhaps a few others. The occasional bloody war or undetailed romance is fine with me, but there is a skip button. Please use it when necessary.
xX Characters: This is a realistic clan, and I want your characters to reflect that. No rainbow pelts or neon pink eyes. You may create as many characters as you can keep track of.
xX No Mary-sues, Gary-stus, power playing, or godmodding: If you saw this rule, put the number of characters in your SN in the "code" section of the joining form. Characters include spaces, underscores, everything. For example, the SN Diamond_Clan's code would be 12, while Rainleaf11's code would be 10.
xX No spam: FanClan advertisements belong on the advertisement board. Apart from that, spam is not allowed.
xX Bullying OoRP is not tolerated: I will not hesitate to ban members who take pleasure in harassment.
xX No spotlighting: This ruins the fun.
xX Plot/Drama: This is a rule you can work with. You can get a cat sick or mildly injured without my permission. However, bigger plot developments such as epidemics, quests, and other stuff like that require my permission. So do promotion ceremonies. (Apprentice, warrior, etc). Plot suggestions belong here.
xX Gender balance: For every she-cat you create, add a tom. On that note, no mates between your own cats.
xX For those with characters holding high ranks: If you reach the three day deletion warning and your character holds a high rank, I might demote your cat, depending on the circumstances. I'm sorry if this seems harsh, but this is to ensure that those with authority are active.
xX Follow the joining form: I will not accept forms unless you use the given format.
xX The warning meter: Each time you break a rule, the number on your warning meter will rise. Each member has a warning meter, which can only be seen by the staff. Once you hit 100%, your account will be banned. You will receive warnings through PM at 50% and 75%.
Rules are subject to change without notice.
