General Rules
I. Please show respect to all staff, members, and guests. If you are caught being rude to anyone, you will get a warning and if you keep being rude then you will be punished. The staff will choose the correct punishment.
II. Do NOT flood, spam, or fight in OCC or cbox. If you have a problem with someone take it to PM. If the problem is serious, PM one of the staff and they will handle it.
III. There is to be absolutely NO graphic breeding or inappropriate images in your profile. It is disgusting, trashes a site, and is against the Proboards Terms of Service. If you are caught breaking this rule you will be banned from the site forever.
IV. Please don’t put a signature in your profile that stretches the page. If it does, the staff have the right to remove it or resize it themselves.
V. If you are quitting you may not say that you are putting your characters up for a adoption and then say that when/if you come back you will take back the ones you want. If you quit and you adopt out your characters you may NOT take them back unless the person who adopted them says you can.
In Character Posting Rules
I. The minimum amount of words you may post IC is 200 words not counting lyrics, poems, and such. Also please use the spellcheck, proper grammar, punctuation, and capitalization. It not only helps the other members you are posting with understand what you are reading, but it also makes the site look better.
II. No power playing. Example: Thunder reared and ripped open Lightning’s neck, injuring him badly. If you are caught doing this you will be warned and if you are caught again you will be punished.
III. You are allowed to post in first, second, and third character. Whichever you like best.
IV. You may have your character in more than one thread at a time. All we ask is that you make sure you can handle the amount of threads before you make or join them.
Character Rules
I. You may have as many characters as you want but we ask that you keep them active.
II. You MUST create a bio for your character in the Joining board. If you do not you will not be allowed to roleplay that character. Also remember, ALL characters must be accepted by a staff member.
III. Sacred Hearts is a fantasy horse roleplay so you CAN have a unicorn, Pegasus, and most kinds of mythical horses. However if too many of one species are made there will be a ban on that certain species for a certain amount of time. Your equine may NOT have supernatural powers or odd colorings. Most mutations are allowed also.
IV. One rule that we emphasize here is to please try and make original characters. We don‘t need all the light characters to be perfect and kind and we don‘t need all the dark characters to be vicious and evil. Try to think outside of the box when you make your characters.
Fighting Rules
I. Your equine may fight for a mate, a land, etc. PM a staff member as soon as a fight start so that they can judge. We will judge mainly on your roleplaying skills but also on how your character uses their attacks and dodges.
II. During a fight you may have one introduction, two attacks, and one dodge. This is simply to shorten fights so that do not go on for many pages.
Herd Rules
I. To join a herd you must post in IC in the board and wait for the herd leader to accept or decline you.
II. ONLY herd leaders or a member that the herd leader has chosen may accept new members.
III. Both stallions and mares may claim lands. However all herd leaders must be at least three years old in order to claim.
IV. In order to challenge you must have at least 30 posts so that we know you will stick with the site.
V. If you challenge and the herd leader does not reply within 5 days, the challenger will receive the land, UNLESS the member who roleplays the herd leader has posted that they will be away.
Breeding Rules
I. There is no set season for your characters to breed but during fall or winter the foal(s) are more likely to be born stillborn or born with a birth defects.
II. When your characters have bred, post in the offspring board and one of the staff will pick the foal(s) status.
III. Equines may not breed until the age of two.
If you follow these rules your time on Sacred Hearts should be great! Thanks everyone!
