welcome to Eden Academy. here at Eden Hill, we expect you to follow a certain number of rules when posting both in and out of character. these rules are ;;
thank you! and now go off and RP :]

- please be literate. we are a literate site, and if we see you using txt tlk lykk, we will give you a warning. if you carry on after a warning is issued, you will get a 24 hour temporary ban. a bit harsh, but that's just the way it is. we aren't the literate police, especially not ooc [note my lack of capital letters] but definitely in character
- you may have as many characters as you like, whether they are students or teachers, but you MUST keep them active. if any of your characters are kept inactive for longer than a month, then they will be deleted.
- be respectful!
- no stereotypical, racist, anti-gay, or sexist comments. i assure you, they WILL NOT BE TOLERATED at all.
- no bullying out-of-character. it's okay if your character is mean, but there's no need to be in the ooc boards.
- no yelling. posts will all CAPS letters will be edited, and you will be warned. carrying on to do so after a warning may result in a temp ban.
- no double posting. double posting really annoys me, especially as there's an edit button at the top of your post that's so much easier to use.. i don't care if you were aiming for 1,000,001 posts, i can easily go into your profile and reset your post count altogether. repeatedly double posting will result in a warning, and a possible temp ban.
- no rude images. we are an RP site, not a porn site.
- keep the swearing to a minimum, plzkthnx. it's okay if your character swears, but there's no reason for it in the ooc boards.
- if you feel the need to have a sex-related thread, please put [R] in the title, or something that will enable other users to know that there is something dirty in that thread, and that way, younger members won't have their innocent minds corrupted. i have nothing against [R] threads, but a little warning is nice
- no one liners, at all, ever. if you cannot think of anything to say, write something about how your character is feeling, or have them fiddle with their hair or something similar. all posts must be at least one hundred and fifty words long, which isn't a lot to ask really. one liners WILL be deleted, and repeadedly posting one liners will result in a warning.
- if you wish to RP with a certain person, put their name in the title. threads with no name in the title are open by default, which means that anyone can post in them.
- in your application, please put 'None of those freaky Virgos here' so that we know you have read the rules.
- now, i love anime as much as the next person, but the celeb you claim MUST be a real person. anyone is fine, along as they are actually a living, breathing person
- you need to have a celeb. it just makes the whole thing easier. also, you must have a sig or an av of said celeb. either will do, preferrably both, but one or the other is fine. failure to do so will mean me going to photobucket and finding the first av i see of them, however much you don't like it, and me feeling annoyed with you for having to waste my time :]
- remember, it's a minium of 150 words per in character post, so get writing! :] there's a nifty little word count at tthe bottom of your post if you aren't sure :] and if your post looks a little on the short side i can always check :]
- have fun!
thank you! and now go off and RP :]
