1. You may not tell others what to do or that they broke a rule.
REPORT rule breaks and the moderators will handle it. Do NOT threaten to report somebody, that is rude!
2. Be polite to other members and don't start drama. {If you feel mistreated by staff – PM an admin!}
Be considerate! Don't be mean and don't talk about hurting yourself/others. This includes making rants and discussing rulebreaks and bans in public.
3. Be appropriate!
We are PG-13, which means NO mature / adult content. This also includes asking for personal information.
4. NO Plagiarism/art theft.
{Stealing someone’s work and claiming you made it. To learn about plagiarism and more, click here.}
5. No injuring or killing another person's character without their permission.
Play only your own character{s}, and AIM to attack another person’s character instead of auto-hitting, which is powerplaying! If you have permission from the player, this is then allowed.
6. Be realistic.
This includes no making your character super powerful, avoiding all attacks (aka godmoding), or using one man armies. This rule only applies to the main game.
7. You can't create a leader, deputy, medicine cat or medicine apprentice for any of our official Clans.
{The official Clans/groups are those which have more than 10,000 posts. The power positions are characters played by other members here.}
8. You may not spam or advertise. Do not advertise anything outside your signature or our Ad Threads. This includes PM advertising and abusing the thread invite feature.

Mini-modding: Regular members are not staff and should not correct rulebreaks. When a regular member corrects another member's rulebreak, this is mini-modding.
Exceptions to the mini-modding rule include handling smaller rulebreaks, such as spam, on your own RPs. If you did not create the RP, you must still report the rulebreak.
If a member is being disruptive on your own thread, you may ban them from the thread and report posts as necessary.

Passive-aggressiveness: Often abbreviated "PA." Passive-aggressiveness is being aggressive...without being aggressive. Confused? Here's an example:
Quote
That's okay, you only give out kits to your friends anyway.
This quote is just an example, by the way, although it illustrates that not all rudeness comes in the form of capital letters and angry smileys.
-----
Baiting - Complaining about members, staff, and/or the site in its policies in a negative manner. If there is something you wish to criticize, it must be done constructively.
-----
A note on flashing GIFs: Flashing GIFs that may trigger epilepsy in your sig, avatar, or profile are no longer allowed. If you must include it, put it in a spoiler and include a warning.

One man armies are large masses of characters that you create in order to try to win a battle.
-----
You must accept the consequences of your actions. If your character or group is greatly outnumbered, you must flee, or staff can allow the other player to automatically kill your cat or take it prisoner.

Spam can consist of advertising PMs, advertising via thread invite, chain messages, and random/off-topic OOC posts in an IC thread.
Thread invite abuse is when you send thread invites to your fanClan's sign-up or your shop to random people in order to advertise. This is treated as spam.
