ETIQUETTE - We're all super rad people so let's be super rad to each other! Have fun, play it cool and be respectful towards the staff and your fellow RPers.
However, we get that disagreements might happen. If you're feeling uncomfortable with something that's happened on site please PM or talk to a staff member about it. We'll do what we can to help you sort it out.
LITERATE - Please use standard grammar when role-playing though we get that typos do happen - don't worry about it too much! Plus it's totally okay to be laxer about grammar in OOC areas like the cbox but please keep in mind that your goal is communication when you talk!!
RATING - We're PG-13 here folks. No graphic violence, sex or excessive explicit language, RP or OOC. We also have a no-tolerance policy on relationships/plots regarding bestiality, incest or pedophilia. It's illegal in the first place, and is against TOS. Fade to black is totally okay but otherwise follow the beautiful, shapely whispers of the Proboards Terms of Service.
ACCOUNTS - Here at KA-BAM we run on a one character per account system. When registered make sure you change your username to your characters first name and last name all caps. e.g. STEVEN GERRARD, BARACK OBAMA, LESLIE KNOPE.
CHARACTER - We don't have a character limit here at KA-BAM so make as many as your heart desires! This rule may change as the site goes by but the staff will inform of any updates!
GRAPHICS - Use mini-profile icons sized 150x150 and signatures 500x300 at the largest. KA-BAM is an ANIMANGA FACE-CLAIM site which means your claim must be from an animanga source or have animanga fanart. If one strongly wants to use original art, permission from the staff must be given beforehand.
Additionally, use of animated mini-profile icons and signatures are not permitted on KB. It's just to make things a li'l easier for the slower running computers some of us may have!
CARBON-COPYING - No carbon-copying. If a character is far too familiar to its FC's source material you will be asked to revise. The same goes for unique, titular powers in series. For example, if you FC Edward Elric from FMA and make him a tall, polite gentleman but still an alchemist with the ability to transmute materials with a clap of his hands, the power will most likely be considered carbon copy.
INTERACTION - No godmoding and no power-playing. This involves not controlling another character's actions in-thread or overpowering them without their say-so. Feel free to discuss issues of what goes on in a thread OOC and if you have a problem with another member in this regard, grab a staff member. They're reading your threads anyway WINKY FACE.
WORD LIMIT - There ain't one! As long as you give your partner something to work with there'll be no problems here.
REALISM - Hey, we may be a superhero site but that's all! We have no problem accepting an 18 year old who can bench lift a van because of super strength. However, if they're also an 18 year old who can do brain surgery, has an IQ of 390, is Prime Minister of Great Britain and has mastered the four elements we're gonna have to say no. Please keep in mind societal limitations. This is still 2013, just in another universe!
CONTENT - Please keep in mind your fellow role-players when thinking about portraying issues like mental health, sexual abuse, etc. Don't be surprised if you get told to roll back on it if you start going in deep. We're not interested in making contentious issues punching bags for “character development”, especially if it makes people hella uncomfortable. In the eternal words of Daryl Hall, I CAN'T GO FOR THAT (NO CAN DO).
ETIQUETTE #2 - Be chill in the site cbox. It's no place for OOC disputes and drama. Similarly, don't talk shit about other sites, people or spread rumours. That just makes it awkward for EVERYONE. Gossip girl is Dan Humphrey, not you.
ADVERTISING - Don't advertise other sites in the cbox, the affiliates are for that!
