These aren't necessarily rules, just things people should follow when roleplaying.
1. Use double parentheses for 'out of character' text.
Ex: ((This roleplay is awesome.))
It's fine not to use any parentheses before the actual roleplay starts, such accepting forms and asking when to start, ect.
2. Fix your mistakes in your post. It's not that big of a deal if you don't, but it can be confusing to others in some cases. Like sometimes out of habit I put 'Oxy' instead of my characters name, so when I notice I just edit my post.
3. State owner/admin rules. There's not much of a point of having owners/admins if they don't know what they can do.
4. Don't only have roleplays to certain people. This prevents new roleplayers from joining threads. It's fine to ban people. Roleplaying should be allowed for everyone.
5. When you have multiply characters use third-person POV or color code your characters, like Shinxey does.
6. With all the roleplays being added (which is not a bad thing) older roleplays are being pushed to the bottom of the page or on the second page, so be sure to check the bottom of the page and the second page as well.

If you have an idea let me know and I'll add it.

I admit, I don't color-code character lines in ALL the RPs I've joined when I have multiple characters. xD I started, because I figured it'd be easier. LOL
But good thread anyway. xD

Nice, dude ^-^

Just did a minor update on this. Once again if you have any more ideas let me know please.
