I figured I would create a list of official roleplay rules, as there are a few people who try and participate, but don't know how.
Rule #1:
You must have good grammar. Lots of roleplayers are very picky about grammar. However, if English is not your first language, we tend to let it slide as roleplaying is a great way to improve. As long as your sentences are readable, (not like 'The cow man went to store the for milk.') we should allow you to roleplay.

Rule #2:
No Godmodding. Godmodding is when your character creates something that isn't there, like creating a TV commercial for a secret society you want your character to join. If it's not in the OP(original post), don't do it.

Rule #3:
Stay positive. Roleplaying is a way to have fun, not a way to get mad at other roleplayers. This happens a lot, and it stops the game from being fun.

Rule #4:
Shipping normally happens in roleplays. If you don't like it, don't participate. Hosts: if you don't want shipping in your RP, please include it in the OP, otherwise it'll happen.

Rule #5:
Please please please, do not post in a roleplay you do not belong in, unless you are making a comment. If you are making a comment, then make sure to put it in parentheses.

Rule #6:
To decrease the amount of chatter, I suggest having a chatzy so anyone and everyone can talk about the roleplay.

Rule #7:
Any questions, concerns, uncertainties, or any reason to have to intentionally break the rules for some reason should go to the OP of the roleplay.

Rule #8:
This is the proper format for posting in a roleplay.
Actual roleplaying
Your character's thoughts
(Comments on what is going on)

Here is a list of the current roleplays going on:

Not everyone has English as a native language or has perfect grammar, but yeah. .
Looks good. Covers all of the basics.
 
Also, we need a rule about shipping. Just throwing that out there.
 
Please post here if you have are going to create a roleplay, so I can put it on this thread.
FN, you know more about roleplays than me, do you think we should have it so there can only be 3-4 roleplays going on at a time?

No.
a. There's nothing stopping them, like mafia.
b. RPs go on for a pretty long time.
 
If anyone has any suggestions for a new rule, let me know via PM/VM or in response to this thread.
 
I think these rules are very biased and the rules should be approved by a moderator or there should be a community vote on each. The way you have set it up leads to a lot of seclusion, but you should be opening of anyone, regardless of how well they speak English. Mafia welcomes anyone, so unless the rules are changed, I guess we're just the better person.

It is extremely hard to roleplay with someone who's sentences are unreadable. It's nearly impossible, which is why we have that rule.
 
Mafia has WOTC though, lol.

I like these rules.
 
Add this rule:
Any questions, concerns, uncertainties, or any reason to have to intentionally break the rules for some reason should go to the OP.
 
There should be a rule about using the correct format for you posts too

Like using italics for thoughts, brackets for out of context stuff etc
 
Can I make a suggestion about these rules?

I do like them, however, it just looks like a list. In my opinion, I think you should format the rules to look more like the other rules around the site.
