Forum Etiquette {Suggested Read}

Forum Etiquette

_{Like in real life, there are proper manners and procedures when interacting on a forum. Although most of this is common sense, we highly suggest you to read this because there might be procedures you haven't encountered before when joining an Role-Playing Forum. Note that most of the things are just review of the rules however, we feel it is still needed to be addressed here again. Thanks for Reading!}

GENERAL RESPECT

_{Assuming that most of us are at least 13, we expect you guys to be mature enough to consider feelings of others as well. This probably dates back from when you were in Pre-School. Yes, we would like to you play fairly and nice. Note that if you have a problem with someone, all you have to do is to tell them it was offensive or hurtful and if it does not stop, you may consult with us. Please, don't abuse any profanity or negative language. Please Also respect the site as well, if you do not like it then please leave rather than lingering on here with negative comments. Also, spamming can be considered disrespect too so please, do not spam the site in any shape or form.

CHAT BOX RESPECT

_{The Chat Box is a privilege, we don't necessarily need it. (I sound like a teacher by this point) but the general respect procedures still apply to it. We ask you to NOT post any pictures in the chat box. It becomes annoying to have to scroll past it and such or click spoilers for it. Please do not role-play in the Chat Box either. Small things like *hugs* or *smiles* is fine occasionally but role-playing is only for RP grounds only. Nothing that happens in the Chat Box will affect the Role-Playing world. Also, we ask you to please participate in events rather than go in the chat box. If we don't find enough people participating Role-Playing or events, we'll take down the chat box.

PROPER ENGLISH

_{Please do know that this whole site is going to be in English. Please at least try to be fluent in the Language so we can all communicate well with each other. Please do not use any net-lingo either (ex. lol). You may use it outside of character (OCC) but when it comes to role-playing, you must use proper English and please try not to have any grammatical errors. We understand if you do have some because hey, we're not perfect but all we ask is that you try. Please talk in third person when you role-play as well. Your character is not you (Although may have some aspects of you), it is still considered a whole different character. Please do not bring any OOC conversations into the Role-Playing World.}}

ABSENCE

_{Sometimes life gets the best of us and that's okay. We rather have you more concerned about matters in Real life rather than on Interlacing Chains. However, if you think you'll be absence for a long period (a.k.a. 1 or 2 week min.) of time (ex. School and Vacations), Please PM us and call it "Absence". It would be nice to inform your fellow members as well (obviously not all of them). You can also create a topic in the OOC announcing your absence or say so in the CB (Chatbox) but please still PM me that you will be gone

POSTING ORDER

_{When you have 5 or more people Role-Playing in the same place, you may call to have a Posting Order. A posting order is basically when you organize who's in line for posting. Example: Person A goes first, then Person B, Then P Person C and will continue going in that order. Please have this order when you are fighting one or more people or just have a lot of people in one place.
If you are tag teaming, please alternate the people from each side. Note that each person can only go once per turn. Almost like a video game.}

MONEY MANAGEMENT

_{Here on Interlacing Chains, you have start off money. If you don't know where it is, check your profile it should state there. (still can't find it? Please PM me and I will show you where it is.). It's important that you don't go into debt. We encourage you to spend and earn money. it keeps our "economy" going. However, if you go in debt, you will be unable to receive rank up points until te debt is paid off. Meaning, if you entered Upper Middle Class and you're in debt, you just missed your chance of earning 10 chain points.}

PRIVATE MESSAGE SYSTEM

_{To make it easier for you and I, please label your PM's. If you don't, there is a good chance that I won't read it until one week later. Here's How you Label
