What is the premise of the site?
That stand alone Post Apocalyptic sites often fail, even though people say they want them. So, I thought if I banded together a few under one umbrella, maybe we could have a good time and have fun, and the board, like Frankenstein's monster, would LIVE!
What is the rating of the site?
PG-13 for the general board in respects to violence, nudity, sensuality, language, adult activities or other elements, but does not reach the restricted R category.
Password forum is NC-18, The rating simply signals that the content is appropriate only for an adult audience based on violence, sex, aberrational behavior, drug abuse or any other element that would be considered too strong and therefore off-limits for viewing by children.
Why is the same application used for all the boards?
Unity, ease of use, and it's easily modifiable to the particulars of each board.
Why is it 'one account per sub forum'?
As above: Unity, ease of use, and easily modifiable to the particulars of each board AS WELL AS I personally prefer it.
Or, to break it down another way: Let's say that you had three zombie game characters, three pandemic characters and two paranormal characters...
You COULD have eight total accounts.
You COULD have one account and stuff your eight characters one to it somehow.
OR
You COULD follow the guidelines and have three accounts; one with your Z characters, one with you P characters and one with your F characters.
Do I have to wait for acceptance to play?
No, but you DO have to have a COMPLETED application and make any changes asked within 7 Days of applying.
What are the avvie/siggy restrictions?
200x200 for Avvies, and must be set at the root site as the auto adjust doesn't work on the site. Avvies that are too large will be removed without warning.
Your signature is limited to a maximum width of 500 pixels, and a maximum height of 250 pixels.
Do not use avatars/signatures that contain extra graphic violence, pornography etc. Quality artwork or PB's only, please.
A small TEXT only ad can be put in your siggy line for YOUR PERSONAL site.
I want to have my own idea/board as a sub forum.
After 100 posts you can request to have a sub forum with your idea, there'll be a form up shortly for it which you can PM to me.
The idea will be reviewed on the staff only board as will your posting behavior (team player, frequent quality posts, little or no drama) you'll either be offered the mod of your idea, or asked if we can use it without you being the mod via PM, or it will be scrapped via PM.
Why via PM? Why can't everyone vote?
I could give a long winded answer but the short of it is: If for any reason the idea doesn't pan out, or we don't think you'd be a good addition to the team, it seems more polite to do so quietly than cause drama/angst for the whole board.
Since the admin/mod team is the one who will be working with you and catching the ball if it's dropped, it's their thoughts I'd be seeking.
What about copywrite?
All avatars are copyright property of their rightful owners, they are simply borrowed. If you see an avatar or creation that belongs to you, and you have an objection to it's use contact us and we can discuss how to best solve the problem.
Stories and written material belong to their writers, and by extension PAW. While a writer may choose to remove their posts, we will not, even if the writer has been banned. The reason for this is that to remove posts would mess up the interactive storyline of several writers, and ask you consider them before removing your own posts.
