Welcome to AOTAS!
New and old members alike should be acquainted with the rules, as they are not only IMPORTANT to you in posting your characters, but they let you know the basics of how AOTAS works. There are four sections of rules, so please read ALL of the parts before posting on the forum. Ignorance of the rules is no excuse. Rule breakers will be punished at the discretion of the administrators and Ignoring or breaking rules can lead to revocation of characters, expulsion from roleplay or permanent banning.
-The characters represented on this website and are copyright the original owners and cannot be used by anyone else without EXPRESSED PERMISSION. Theft of these characters will be reported to the staff of Proboards and will result in said person being banned.
(Everyone has their own style to RP even Canons so in a way they are making the characters theirs.)
(Everyone has their own style to RP even Canons so in a way they are making the characters theirs.)
-You must be 15 years or older to join this forum. This is a rule from the Proboards' terms of service, if you are any younger than this, we will ask you to leave. If you refuse you will be banned, thus losing your chance to ever join in the future.
-Do not disrupt the forum, Always use common sense and be courteous to all members. You should not insult, harass, annoy, bully or intentionally start fights with others. If someone asks you to stop, you need to kindly stop. If you're being rude to anyone on forum, you will be rightly punished.
This site is PG-16, so posts can not contain any of the following content: promoting the use of illegal drugs (Kourtni is RPed as addicted to Tramadol, but she does not promote the use of it. There is a difference.), pornography, nudity, profanity (To some extent), hate, fraud, racism, mlm, pyramid schemes, or promote any illegal activity.
-Spamming is not allowed. Short, annoying or duplicated posts that do nothing to contribute to the conversation will be deleted. Spam also includes the over use of CHATTING IN CAPS.
-Each person is allowed only one character. (Except ADMINS); To start, Because of the nature of the RP maybe after we have a lot of people joined, we will allow more characters per person.
-Avoid extreme chatspeak, even in ooc areas. While lol, wtf, or omg are commonly used, do not, "spk lyk ths."(speak like this) or think "u r cool." even in ooc chat areas. You've joined an EXPERIENCED roleplay forum, at least make the effort to type readable English.
-Do not steal artwork. You are allowed to use images for your characters, but please read up on the original artist's usage policy, if you can, before posting it. If the artist asks us to remove it, we will take it down. Know that things like 'character sheets' are normally copyrighted material and unless you have an artist's permission to use it on this site, you are stealing their artwork.
-Forum rules apply to signatures. If anything in your signature is found to be inappropriate or rule breaking it will be edited or removed.
-Do not advertise or post links to other roleplay forums outside of the Advertisement board. It's rude and is spam.
-Do not impersonate staff or anyone on AOTAS. This also includes impersonating someone famous or well-known. :\ We can see IP addresses on the forum. You will be instantly banned on the forum for impersonating someone.
Don’t be a jerk.
No bullying, no bashing, no harassment. Dont treat people like shit because you feel like you can.
Be cool with the admins.
You might not always like what we have to say, but we’re in charge. What we say goes.
Obey the Terms of Service.
The thing you agree to when you make an account, be sure to follow it.
No crazy faceclaims.
This is a Doctor Who // Multi-Fandom RP yes, but it doesnt mean that you claim Simba from the Lion King and start rping him here. We will allow you to have any canon you want if you can prove to us you can role-play them well.
Be active.
If you’re gonna make a character, remember to post. Come on, man, at least get to your replies once a week.
Think before you type.
Make sure your posts are well written. A typo here and there is fine, but your post shouldn’t look like a monster attacked your keyboard.
RP like an adult.
No, that doesn’t mean “write porn,” smartass. It means don’t go throwing people around in your threads or god-mod’ing everyone you meet.
Submit an application.
You wanna play here? Awesome. Just fill out our application template and wait until we approve it. We gotta know who we’re dealin’ with before we let you run around.
