1. Try to stay on the character linked to the board. It can be confusing and off-putting to see 'yourself' already in the cbox.
2. Golden rule time: If something would annoy you in the chat, Don't Do It Yourself.
This includes excessive vulgarity, spamming, Capslock, extremely OOC crack, god-moding, and other such actions. We can and WILL kick you from the board if you're being a nuisance in the chat, even if your forum posts /do/ make us cry with their moving content and turn of phrase.
3. Please be mindful of others in the Cbox. Creativity, discussion and looser In Character rp's are encouraged. OOC spazzing and actions that drown out conversations and legitimate questions are not. Avoid behavior that will drive others out of the chatbox.
4. Chat RP is strongly encouraged to follow board canon- it can be a great way to get into the specific quirks and plots that your steampunk character will have! Cbox RP does /not/ enter the board timeline, but can be used as pre-planning or practice for long-form posts of the same events/scenarios.
5. If someone asks you to take a Chatbox RP scene private, do so. Whether the scene is headed to a sexual nature or not, the chatbox is for everyone to use. Anything beyond making out /must/ be taken private. If clothes go away, so must your scene!
6. Do not be afraid to speak up if someone else's behavior is making you uncomfortable, even if it's a mod. we need to follow the rules too!
7. Lurkers make us sad. It's easier to plan things for the board and work out problems if we know who you are, and we promise... we don't bite unless you like that sort of thing. ^^
8. Have a snickerdoodle for reading these.
