1. Please respect all the people on this site! Do not ask for really personal information! Something friendly like asking their name or something is allowed, but you do not have to tell anybody anything about yourself if you don't want to. Just say something like: "Sorry, I don't really want to share that!" If you want to email me, but you don't want me to know your personal email, you can always make a different email address or simply send me a PM on the site!
2. If you see any cyber-bullying, swearing, spamming, or any rule-breaking or offensive posts on the site, please report/flag the account and tell one of the admins! If you get caught up in something like that, it is best to ignore whoever is doing it. If you give them attention, it will get worse.
3. No power-playing other characters! This means that you cannot control anyone else's character, or pretend to be someone you're not! This also includes adding cats in your description or story without asking them first, or using battle techniques improperly (Rule 9.).
4. There is no limit on characters, but please only create characters that you will play! It takes up space on the site and confuses everyone else! I will delete any character I see not being played often!
5. You are only allowed to create a character that is a normal, non-magical, and decently realistic cat. All Clan cats must be just normal sized house-cats. No forest Clans in the books had any cats that were, lions for example, partly because big cats don't live anywhere near them, but also because certain Clans would have completely unfair advantages over others! Also, no cats are allowed super-powers or anything silly like wings, seventy five inch metal claws, the ability to breathe fire, etc.
6. Your character, of course, can have talents, but with those, they also must have flaws. You cannot be good at hunting, climbing, running, swimming, healing, jumping, and fighting all at once. You may pick one or two that you excel in. Otherwise, you are basically a super-cat, which is boring for everyone that is RPing with you. If you make a kit, you cannot say that they are good at fighting or hunting because they aren't allowed to know how. However, you could say that according to their build, they will likely make a good fighter or hunter in the future.
7. You may not have clothes, or any Twoleg-related items, on your cat, but you are allowed as long as it isn't incredibly unrealistic and/or silly. For example, if a Twoleg had a cat, that cat would never let them put something like glasses or headphones on them. Anything from the books that was normal should be fine here!
8. Please respect your cat's rank in the Clan! For example, kits cannot fight full grown warriors without getting easily killed, and leaders must lose lives somewhat often, but the major thing is that warriors are not allowed to use herbs like a medicine cat. No warrior would want a medicine cat giving them battle tips and hanging around the training hollow all the time getting in their way, so please respect that! The only exception is, if some cat is dying and there is no medicine cat there, you can use easy herbs like catmint or cobwebs because it's an emergency!
9. Please use battle techniques fairly! Posting something like *jumps out of the way before Snowfur can hit him and rakes him across the nose, then pushes him into a tree* is power-playing because you don't know how Snowfur would have reacted after you scratched his nose. Posting that message implies that Snowfur did nothing to defend himself, which may or may not be true. An easy way to avoid this is to break up the techniques. For example, you could post *jumps out of the way before Snowfur can hit him and scratches his nose*, then wait to see Snowfur's post, then post again after, according to what Snowfur last said. It's no fun to fight someone invincible, so I mean, unless you are fighting a kit or something, you are obviously going to get somewhat injured.
10. To RP, you can either use WCP style (using stars for actions and just typing the words normally), or the story style (typing as if it were a FanFiction) based on what you are used to, or what is most comfortable. In both versions though, please type in brackets if you are not RPing! Here are some examples of what I mean!
WCP Style: *pads into camp, looking confused* What's going on over here? (Oh PS guys, when is the SwimmingClan battle again?)
Story Style/How the Books are Written: Briarpelt padded into camp, looking confused. "What's going on over here?" he said. (Oh PS guys, when is the SwimmingClan battle again?)
11. Please don't beg the admin staff to make you either an admin, or to allow someone back on the site after they have been deleted! We delete people for a reason; they are harming the site, and we want the site to be as friendly and fun as possible!
