first off we want to welcome you all to Willow Brooke. while you are here there are rules you must follow and if for some reason you decide not to, you will be punished. the first time you break a rule you will receive a warning the second time your warning level will go up by fifty percent the third time you will be banned. to find the secret word you will need to read all of the rules and not just skim them either. these rules are subject to change and if they are all members will be notified by private message
activity/inactivity
this site will hold monthly activity checks which you will have one week to reply to. if you don't reply by the end of the week of the activity check, you will be deleted. if you're away then let me or another staff member know so we can put you in our away list.
when you first sign up you have one week to post your application before you account is removed from this site. after being accepted please fill out the required extras when you next log on. of course to post your application you will need to know that the secret word is soda
I expect everyone to get on at least once a week, and that means posting once a week as well. If you find you can't get on in that amount of time, then make sure one of the staff members know and post it in the absences board so that we know you haven't abandoned us.
out of character
- no racism you will receive an automatic ban.
- don't argue with staff their decision is final.
- don't advertise anywhere outside the advertising and affiliating boards. this includes via private messages and the chat box.
- please don't post in the in character boards until you have been accepted.
- during role play threads keep occ chat to a minimum.
- if you are going to be away for more than three days or plan to leave us post in the absences board.
- you may have as many original characters as you want. you may only have two canons. please keep them all active.
- when you sign up you may have whatever name you like. but once you post your application please change your display name to your characters name. First and last name. if you have a doctor character, then be sure to put 'Dr.' in front of it.
- One character per account. You make another character, make another account for it.
- canons are our friends. don't be afraid to reserve one.
in character
- students are 13-18 years. civilians can be any age. staff members are ages 18 and up.
- Keep in mind that the students are troubled teens. That means they have multiple counts of slight misdemeanors. Not something like murder or rape.
- if you have a male student then your next character must be a female civilian or staff member. if you make a female civilian then you have to make either a male student or a male staff member. this rule helps to even out the ratios of the site.
- you must make a minimum post of 200 words. all I have to say is if I can do it, you can do it.
- mature threads are allowed. be sure to mark them with an M, and
- swearing is allowed on here but don't over use it there are some people who don't like it. do not direct swearing at another member.
- no god modding or power playing. which means do not control someone else's character.
- no gary or mary stu's. not everyone is perfect we all have our flaws and so do your characters.
- if you wish to seriously injure, kill or make a character pregnant you must okay it with the admin and all members involved.
- post in third person please. of course if your character is talking it will be in first person.
- anything your character says must be in "these."
- please spell check! it can sometimes be really hard to read misspelled words
- i personally do not have issues with homosexuality on the board, but please keep in mind that there are going to be heterosexuals on here too and they need love just as much as a homosexual.

images
- your must have a celebrity as your face claim. NO ANIME (no exceptions)
- avatars must be 100x100 no more no less
- signatures must be no bigger than 400x600
- you have to have age appropriate play bys.
- I know there are people who don't like to use celebrities or anything, but I would much prefer if you did... If it's at all possible, please please use a celebrity. If you're having troubles finding one... come to me and I'll gladly help.
[/li][/ul]
chat box
- no advertising. including in your name
- no spamming.
- don't argue with other members please.You want to fight with someone don't do it on my site and don't get other members involved if they aren't already.
- When you and whoever else you're RPing with are finished with a thread, PM me or my co-admin letting us know that the thread is closed, and make sure you have a link to the thread in the PM.
