Rules:
All members of the website, Sea of Stories, need to read this.
First of all, This is a website Made for the ages of 10-19. Though any age can join. Every thing posted should be at PG13 at least. If you are younger than 13, this is your warning. It is PG13 here and there may be a bit more mature conversations. But this does not mean that you older people may post inappropriate things.
General Forum Rules
1. No harassing of any kind.
-That means no calling names
-No cussing at other people
-No threatening
-No obvious insults
-No cyber bullying
2. Respect all members especially Admins and Mods.
The mods and admins are here for a reason. Do not do any harassing of any kind to them either. This is a very easy way to get banned. All admins have the ability to ban any one, any time.
3. No spamming or double posts.
This should not be very hard to comprehend, but just in case you didn't catch exactly what I meant...
Spamming:
- Saying, "I'm bored!" over and over.
- Making "sound effects" when bored.
- No random letters or symbols randomly typed.
Post one:Writer101:...and yeah, that's what happened.
Post two:Writer101:Oh! and also, I forgot...
That's double posting. Don't do it, it is that simple. Just click on "modify" on the top right corner of the reply post if you want to add something. Otherwise, you will get a small warning, and the post will be deleted in a 24 hour period.
4. No Ghost Posting
This is when some one posts just to bump their thread, then deletes it like they never bumped it.
5. No Impersonating.
I have heard all over the place that people have made another member with the user name that sounds and looks extremely close to some others, acting like another user. If we find any of these, you are banned regardless.
6. Image and Signature sizes.
I'd say anything directly posted on a thread reply over 900x900 will be deleted and you will get a warning. Signatures are limited to the size of 200x600. You will be asked to remove or re-size your signatures.
7. No posting personal information anywhere.
There is no exception for this at any time. You will get a large warning, and maybe even get banned. We would rather ban you then have some one you don't know have your phone number, your address, and your full name. Any posts of personal information will be deleted instantly, including anything else you put on the post.
What counts as personal information:
-Your real name, whether it is your first or last, or both.
-Your E-mail, or Facebook, or IMing info, or any other contact info.
-Pictures or videos with you or other people you know in it.
-Addresses
-Cellphone/phone numbers.
-All of the above but with you posting someone else info.
8. *Remember, it is PG13 at least.
-No posting cuss words.
-No terrible dirty jokes.
-Especially no racism, sexism, origin, creed or handicap remarks on any one, or any posts about these at all.
-No posting of anything that has to do with sex.
-No extreme violence
*These all include posting websites, videos, and pictures about these topics too.
9. (new) Do not use all caps in thread titles, or anywhere in any post. You may though, put all caps for one sentence just to make it pop out, but you should really be using the underline, bold, or italics tools instead. It's mostly when a whole post is capitals is when it drives people like me crazy.
