[align=center][div style="width:500px; text-align:justify; font-size:10pt;"]SITE RULES HAVE BEEN REWRITTEN, THEY CAN BE FOUND HERE.
Overarching IC Rules
 Any plagiarism will not be tolerated. Please report any plagiarism you see! If it's directly from on-site, we can definitely help. If the original source is off site we can help so long as the plagiarist is plagiarizing on OUR site, and you can provide the original source to us so we can verify.
 Realism rules are detailed specifically in each moderated board's guide. This board holds all of them for you to check. We are trying to add rules as questions get answered. Some will not be clear, this is because of how new we are as a site.
 In TNW (The New World), leader inactivity will result in a PM warning after four days of no ic posts (meetings do not count), and then a demotion if an issue continues such as the group suffering from a leader's inactivity and/or the leader has been inactive for another week. Leaders will not be allowed to continue to post inactivity notices and only post meetings without receiving a warning/demotion, as leaders should be a part of the community. If a leader’s roleplayer is aware there will be 4+ days of inactivity, a temporary leader should be announced; failure to do so will result in staff doing this instead and a warning. If a leader does step down/is demoted and there is no second in command, characters in the group will take a vote and staff will monitor this to ensure it is fair. If there happens to be no members, a staff member will step up as temporarily leader and hold tryouts to promote a promising member.
 This site is PG-13. Mature content is allowed, but sexual content is not permitted. Be mature, but also be responsible with what material you post here! (This extends to what sites are advertised as well.)
Rules on Sexual Content
 Sexually explicit images are completely forbidden on-site.
 In IMAGES, shirtless men are fine, shirtless women must be covering nipples simply due to the United States nudity laws.
 In ROLEPLAY, nudity must be non-sexual and it cannot be very explicitly described. IE, you can write a nude woman OR man, but it can't be in a sexual context and description of private parts should not be made.
 Writing smut of any kind is forbidden. Fade in/out MUST be used.
 Rapist characters are forbidden. This includes any acts of non-consent, such as drugging a character to have sex, having sex with a minor as an adult, etc.
 The bare mininum age of any sexual activity in rpsâ€â€abusive or notâ€â€is 16. This rule is to ensure the site's PG-13 rating, and to help abide several laws. This does not endorse rping actual sexual activity, however. If it's a must, please use the fade in/fade out method.
 Consent must be given by both characters.
 Characters can have been abused sexually in their past, however it cannot be written about in the present, or as a flashback. You may write about it in a bio, and a character may refer to their past abuse, but for example, you could not write a oneshot or detailed scene of said abuse.
 Content warnings for rape mentions must be used.
 Any plagiarism will not be tolerated. Please report any plagiarism you see! If it's directly from on-site, we can definitely help. If the original source is off site we can help so long as the plagiarist is plagiarizing on OUR site, and you can provide the original source to us so we can verify.
