Rules and Regulations |READ FIRST|

As a member of Ouran Academy, you are required to follow these rules at all times - no exceptions. This includes in the roleplay and on the chat.
If you break one of these rules our staff will take action and either give you a warning, suspend you, or ban you completely.

General Rules

♕ Respect the Staff We have worked very hard to create this forum and deserve respect otherwise. Any action we take is to protect the forum and it's members.

♕ Keep All Posts Clean Even on the chatbox here where there aren't any filters, you must keep all of you posts PG to PG-13. This means no graphic details of sex, violence, gore and dirty words. Such things could lead to suspension or being banned from this forum.

♕The Staff has the Right to Change the Rules We will alert you of any major rule changes, but just be warned.

♕Please tell us if you are leaving for a while It's perfectly alright if you are going on vacation for a while and won't be on, we understand. But please let us know so we don't move your characters to inactive or such.

♕Literacy Applies Out of Character Make sure your spelling and grammar stay literate even on the general boards and chatbox.


Roleplaying Rules

♕No Mary Sues/Gary Stues Along with being annoying, Mary and Gary Sues tend to be uninteresting and boring. Even in a school of the rich and beautiful, people still do have flaws.

♕No Powerplaying Only control your character please. The person you are roleplay with will appreciate it immensely.

♕Stay Literate This means a very minimum of one paragraph (8 to 10 sentences) per post, more for intros. Absolutely no one liners. Writer's block is very common, but even with so try and elaborate as much as you can to make a small paragraph.

♕Follow the Character Form Yes you may add and elaborate on your character, but make sure you keep the main stuff on there.

♕You may have multiple OCs there is no limit to OCs as of now, but make sure you can handle them all!

♕Label Your Character Posts To determine which character you are playing in a thread, please chose a different text color/font for each. Also include a relatively small picture of them at the top of the post. Maximum height is 100 pixels and maximum width is 200 pixels.
You do not have to have a picture or font, but please at least have a color and their name in a larger font above the post. It will help stop confusion and keep things organized.

♕People who are playing canons MUST be active Consider this before you decide on a canon. If you know you will be extremely busy all year, then maybe a canon isn't for you. But if you do choose a canon, make sure to stay up to date and roleplay as often as possible.

♕Tell us before you modify your character's profile Just contact a staff member and we will give it a quick look over, make sure it's still following the rules.

♕You are allowed to have your character in multiple threads at the same time But make sure you can handle all of your threads!

♕Please use anime pictures for you character You may include a real life picture as long as you have an anime picture as well (Since Ouran is an anime, we'd like to keep it in that style).

Any questions or concerns about the rules please contact a staff member by private message.
