Regulations The (Gem) Lord's Commandments|"Break these vows, and I shalt smite thee where ye stand."
Welcome to Gemmitrism! Hopefully, you're smart enough to think to read the regulations first! If you are, congratulations! There is no actual award for that, but kudos to you, and a pat on the back. All rules and regulations must be abided by, or else you risk being banned, some with a more severe punishment than others. I want this to be a happy community, but if you break these rules and invoke my wrath, it will come back to haunt you.

Art Rules Some reasons why Punki will smite thee.
i. Don't steal! I have little tolerance for ignorant jerks who take something not made by them, copy or edit it, and then claim it as theirs to impress others. Doing something like this will get you an instant permanent ban.
ii. If you're going to use something, keep all credit where it belongs. If you're going to post something, put some credit on it if you haven't already. Don't forget to mention this rule on your art's thread!

Posting Rules More reasons why Punki shall smite ye.
i. No double-posting! I'd like to conserve space, so if you have something else to add, edit your previous post! Double-posting is only allowed when posting literature and/or role play plots!
ii. This is meant to be a somewhat mature community, so cussing and the discussing of awkward topics are allowed, to a certain point. However, there shall be in no way any pornographic or nude (may be considered one and the same) images posted, and no sexual acts written, point-blank, no exceptions, or else risk violation of Proboards' Terms of Service, Term 18, regarding "Objectionable Content."
iii. There shall be no harassment of fellow members. Anyone caught threatening, baiting, discriminating, or persecuting another member or staff member will be immediately banned, no questions asked, no excuses accepted. Gemmitrism is a place of sanctuary for all the peoples of the world, and any kind of rude or discriminating behavior towards one member in specific in terms of ethnicity, nationality, religion, sexuality, etc. will not be tolerated.
iv. Do not create unnecessary drama. Informing others of your intentions of suicide, stating that you're going to leave the site, or else stirring up emotional trouble to draw attention to yourself will not be tolerated, and will result in one warning. Do it again, and you will be banned. Of course, this does not apply to troubled people who have honest issues with their lives and wish to express such issues. In this case, all such discussions shall be taken place under the watchful observation of myself in the Therapy board of the Gemstone Tavern.
v. Do not inform others that they have broken a rule, or tell them to stop breaking it. Any breaking of a rule should be reported discreetly (without telling anyone), and you must wait until a staff member deals with it accordingly.
vi. Do not spam or advertise anywhere on Gemmitrism other than your signature, and possibly your introduction. Spamming takes up vital space, and fits into our rule on double-posting. Vast repetition of letters, phrases, empty space, or smiley faces is considered spam, as is the act of advertising through private message.

Roleplay Rules The biggest reasons why Punki shall smite thee.
i. Do not power-play or god-mod! You cannot control another player's character, just as they cannot forever dodge or avoid being hurt in combat. When fighting, aim to hit, wound, or injure; never kill. You absolutely must have the other player's permission before killing their character.
ii. PG to PG-13 content is allowed. In role play, characters who curse, or openly discuss awkward topics (excluding sex, as defined in Posting Rule #2) are allowed, as well as the undressing of characters, so long as no other descriptions are given. If role play gamemasters are uncomfortable with the default level of maturity in a role play, they are allowed to reduce it, but never maximize it.
iii. By default, all role plays are automatically bound by these rules. All role play gamemasters are advised to list their rules, but all role play rules listed here are by default applied towards the rules of the said role play, with little changing capacity unless specified.
