[glow=red,2,300]Rules and Regs[/glow]
1. This site is by default a freeform roleplaying site. Individual gamemasters are permitted to set up alternate systems for their games, but these should be stated from the outset to be sure there are no misunderstandings.
2. Drama from other sites is strictly forbidden. If you have a beef with someone here, settle it elsewhere. There is a zero-tolerance policy for bullshit.
3. The moderators and admins will be respected. If there is an issue with something they have done, it will be handled maturely and politely. Failure to do this will get you shitcanned faster than you can say the word 'butthurt'.
4. Language and moderately mature content (violence, references to adult situations) is not and will not be filtered. The overall 'rating' of Void Spaces is PG-13. The expectation is that players be mature enough to handle what they are reading. Your recourse, if you are offended, is to not participate.
5. Plagiarism and theft of intellectual property is forbidden. Use of canon characters in various source materials is an exception, but the source needs to be clearly stated and understood. Avatars, artwork and other material also need to acknowledge their sources.
6. In the event of in-game disputes, these are to be handled privately, through instant messages, private messages, private chats and e-mails. At no time do I want to see flame wars erupt on these boards. See the above note about 'zero bullshit'.
7. In the event that a game moderator has been AWOL for more than thirty days, a player can step up and apply to replace that moderator. This only applies in sitations where someone has just disappeared without letting people know ahead of time.
8. We formerly were able to host games that had adult content in them, but due to some fuckhead reporting us, we are no longer able to do so. Keep stuff you do in public to PG-13.
9. This is a roleplaying site, not a hookup joint. Members that join with the express intention of using the site only to troll for cybersex will be warned and then banned if it continues to be a problem.
10. Warnable offenses are habitual godmoding, mod sass, over-the-top sexual content, drama-stirring, and rules-lawyering. Bannable offenses are stalking, repeated drama-stirring, plagiarization, posting of someone's RL details, harassment or being an unspecified type of severe asshole. This list is not exhaustive.
11. This list of rules can and will be changed as it suits the needs of the forum or its staff.
