GENERAL RULESRULE 1) Act maturely, friendly and responsibly. You are expected to express yourself in a civil and level-headed manner during discussion or debate, therefore insulting fellow members or staff is forbidden, as is any kind of discrimination, overly aggressive behaviour or general actions which are not deemed by staff to be polite and proper during your daily discourse. This includes discussions such as character critiques: if someone is uncomfortable taking criticism of their character, or disagrees with your perspective, you should drop the subject. Always be constructive, and treat others the way you want to be treated.
RULE 2) Slang words and swear words are allowed, but not used in a manner used to offend or hurt another person. Discriminatory terms are NOT allowed in any sense. Finally, if we have any complaints about the amount of foul language used this rule could be changed, so try to limit yourself.
RULE 3) No explicit sexual content or gore. This is a PG-13 site, as per the written rules of ProBoards' Terms of Service.
RULE 4) Members must be logged in to post. Guest posts aren't considered valid due to potential for 'fraud.'
RULE 5) Bad behavior in any site chatboxes will not be tolerated. Treat them as an extension of the site. If requested by staff to stop a given discussion, you are to do so immediately. If requested by a fellow member, then you are also to respect their wishes unless staff expressly say otherwise. If there is truly a discussion you wish to pursue further you should instead create a thread for it.
RULE 6) Do not ask for staff stuff in the above locations. If you see a staff member online, please refrain from pestering them. If you feel like you've been waiting long enough for something that needs to get taken care of, please send a PM to us instead.
RULE 7) Plagiarism is expressly forbidden. You may not use writing or roleplaying material taken from other sites, regardless of if you have written it or otherwise, due to the problem of plagiarism (stealing another's work). Often, even if you are the writer of the material, it will be unfit for our shared universe.
RULE 9) Every player profile must be named after their characters, either their real name or their chosen code name. While face claims are not required to reflect your character, it is strongly recommended to avoid confusion. In keeping with the shonen manga theme, no real-life face claims or avatar pictures are permitted.
RULE 10) Do not attempt to coerce members to join your forum in an underhanded manner. Make use of the ad board instead.
RULE 11) Elements of characters can be denied by the staff team for not fitting in with the canonical My Hero Academia setting. This can be something like a worldbuilding inconsistency, or something tonally misplaced. For instance, Quirks cannot be gained through accidents or disasters like in some comic books.
