The rules in this document outline what is and is not acceptable in the Forum Roleplay section.
Forum Roleplay Summary
The forum roleplay section serves as a hub for members of the community to engage in roleplay activities. This is meant to facilitate forum roleplays, any attempts to create or engage in a roleplay within the context of a Terraria server should be pursued in the Dedicated Servers section of the forum.
Forum Roleplay Rules
- Terrarian Community Rules & Culture apply to all categories, groups, sections, and threads on the forum.
- The forum roleplay sections is for roleplay related content. Topics that are not related to roleplay will be locked or moved as needed.
- Do not create any roleplay that would be considered "18+" or would otherwise violate the rules of the forum.
- Do not create any form of "erotic roleplay"/ERP. Such things will not be tolerated.
- Roleplays should be restricted to 1 or 2 threads.
- A two-thread RP can have an In-Character (IC) thread, and an Out of Character (OOC) thread. They should link to each other in the first posts. The OOC would be for applications, character discussions, etc.
- A single-thread RP would be for simpler situations where you don't really need a separate thread for applications etc.
- There will no longer be separate threads for idle chat/bickering/etc. permitted. That's what you use the OOC thread for. This will be strictly enforced for now.
- [NEW] Roleplay "owners" (or their clearly appointed designates) will have final say on RP character guidelines, character acceptance/rejection, and general progression of the roleplay
- If a character application is rejected, the owner/designate should give clear reasons why it was rejected
- Roleplay owners/designates should participate in the roleplay on a reasonable schedule to address character submissions and guide progression
- Roleplay owners/designates will need to rely on the Forum Staff to deal with problem members, locking/unlocking threads, etc. by using the Report system.
- [NEW] Roleplay participants should abide by the guidelines set forth by the roleplay owner/designates
- Make a good-faith effort to follow the owner's wishes when creating a character and participating
- Use proper roleplay etiquette for IC dialogue and OOC chat - usually OOC chat is within parentheses/brackets, but may be specified by the owner
- If your character application(s) are rejected and/or the owner/designate asks you to leave the roleplay, you should comply promptly
- Please use an appropriate title prefix tag when creating a thread. This allows other members to more easily find the thread when using the the forum's search functionality. If a thread is lacking a prefix, then an appropriate one may be added by a member of the staff. Additionally, members may report a thread that lacks a prefix and request that one be added.
