| On behalf of the staff and all the members here, Welcome to Shinobi Reality! Our top priority is to make sure you have fun in a creative Naruto environment. At Shinobi Reality you can develop your own custom ninja and grow with it in as well. We simply ask that you follow a few easy rules and guidelines. These are set to help make the role-playing environment here fair for everyone. It should also be noted that the rules are subject to change as the site grows; so keep a look out for the [ Announcements] the staff will make regarding the rules. Updates on the forum are posted there as well. If you have a question about the rules please post them in [The Station]. Thank you for choosing Shinobi Reality and have fun! - Fun. Have it. Lots of it. This is first and foremost!
- Respect. Simply put, we should all respect each other on this board. Respect the RPer's and the staff. Stay calm. Not everyone will see eye to eye on every single matter. Don't post just to be rude to another player and post rude topics about someone else just for the heck of it. There will be absolutely no derogatory remarks based on anyone's race, gender, or sexual orientation directed at any person here.
- Bashing. If you don't like the way a player RPs or you just don't like their attitude you have every right to not want to RP with them. This doesn't mean you can go around and spread your hate to other people and bash the name of the RPer just because you don't like them. If you have a problem with a person on the forum bring it to the attention of the staff team and we will sort it out in a peaceful manner. Don't bash people for no reason.
- The Staff. If the Staff tells you to do something oblige. We won't steer you wrong. We know that listening to other people that might be older or younger than you can be upsetting. You have to remember that The Staff works for you. Without you The Staff has no job. The Staff members value you and were picked because we know they will treat you with the utmost respect.
- Private Information. We're all people who share a common interest in Naruto or RPing itself, so it's OK to have friends on the board and we encourage you to make as many friends and great memories here as possible. However, do not indulge private information about yourself on the forum publicly. Don't give out information like phone numbers publicly on the form. We can't control what happens to you outside of the forum if you give out your information online.
- Report It and Ignore It. If you see a post that could possibly start a problem or an argument on the site, report it and do not respond to it. Do not even tell the poster that you are going to report it, just report it and ignore it. If a post is intended to cause problems report it. If you post in a problematic topic there's a chance you will end up in trouble as well.
- No Chat Speak. Simple. W3 D0n7 w4nT u 2 p05t l!k3 th!5! It's just annoying and a waste of time. It took me about three minutes just to write like that. If you have the time to post like than then take that time to post properly.
- No Argument/Fighting. We're not saying you can't have a debate type arguments or character fighting but we do not want yelling and insults to be thrown across the board. We have been to plenty of forums where even the admin start fights with certain members just because they don't like him. The Staff team here will not start a fight with anyone and neither should you. If a person wants to start an online yelling match we will deal with it. This rule is serious. We don't want problems to erupt by people fighting with each other. If you have an issue you want to bring up then message The Staff team privately.
- No Flaming/Flame Baiting. Flaming is attacking someone. Flame Baiting is making statements that try to get them to respond back at you with derogatory statements. Both are punished equally. If you don't get into fights, don't worry about this.
- Multiple Accounts. No. Create one account. Don't try to get around this either because The Staff team will be watching. You might think you can get away with it but you won't. If you're caught making another account it'll be banned and your current one will be punished. If you make an account to get around a ban you'll be permanently banned.
- Signatures and Avatars.We like having signatures and avatars to show off our personality but they need to be limited. They don't need to be over 550X250.
- PG-13. Please keep all OOC information PG-13. This means no porn, hentai, or graphic language. However, this will be a warning to all members, Naruto is not a PG-13 world. Even Naruto can't keep his cool and sometimes uses coarse swear words. Due to the subjectiveness of censorship, these words will not be censored if a player uses them IC (in RP). Sections that are OOC like the Discussion Forum will be protected. If you are not mature to handle coarse language in RP then please reconsider other Naruto RPGs. Language or the RP's itself will not be censored because we want the players to be expressive. This doesn't mean you post sexual topics of vivid display on the board. Explicit and over the top posting such as sex between two characters will not be allowed. Simply put, it's OK to use coarse language if that's your character but don't abuse it. If you like another character and are RPing an intimate scene "turn the lights off."
