The Rules

A. Forum Rules

I. Stick to the Plot The Plot of this site contains all the information on current events of the site. Before character creation, please refer to the Plot to understand the history of our RP. Characters in violation of our Plot will not be accepted

II. Mod Requirements: There are many races, powers, vehicles and other various nouns in Star Wars that requires special "Mod Permission." Please read the character templates and section notes (if the section has them) end to end. Any power or section added without the specific Mod approval will be cause for character denial.

III. Keep to the RP atmosphere: Even in the world of Jedi Knights, not everyone is perfect. Characters sometimes fail a mission, succumb to the 'Dark Side,' or even die. Please keep this in mind while Roll Playing. Power Playing will not be tolerated.

• Padawans will not win a fight or even hold ground with a Sith Lord
  
• Jedi do lose their lightsabers, once lost it does not magically reappear when convenient.
  
• Unfortunately not all senators will agree with your plans for the Galaxy.
  
• One does not enter a room knowing the last five minuets of conversation between two characters. Roll Playing will be required to bring new thread entries up to speed.
  

IV. Keep it PG-13: All content on the forum must be suitable for those aged 13+, this includes linked items and C-box conversations as well.

B. Forum Etiquette:

• Racism or offensive posts out side of RP will not be tolerated
  
• Keep all outside links and advertisements in the designated threads. Must have a minimum of 10 posts and submitted character Bio to be able to advertise using any method.
  
• Put effort into your posting. We are not all Shakespeare but we can all put time and effort into our responses.
  
• Please wait a minimum of 24 hours before double posting. The plot must go on but if you want to continue your last post, you may modify until you reach your 60,000 character limit.
  
• Keep IC Roll Playing third person. I rolled out of sight in the nick of time should be [Player's Name or pronoun] rolled out of sight in the nick of time.
  
• Please keep your signatures to a maximum size of 300 height x 500 width. If they are larger, your signature will be removed by a mod.
  
• Please keep image posts to reasonable level. SWU is not an image board.
  

C. Shoutbox Rules:

• No Cursing, it is not tolerated on the forum or in the Shoutbox.
  
• No racism or any other offensive comments, including personal attacks against other members or guests.
  
• No spamming and no spamming of links.
  
• Do not advertise other forums in the cbox, take it to the advertisement section.
  
• Do not troll and do not respond to anyone attempting to troll, simply report them.
  
• Do not impersonate staff or any other member of the board.
  
• Do not discuss major issues such as politics and religion as these things lead to fighting.
  
• Generally be polite to each other and to guests/potential members.
  
• If there is an incident, do not get involved. Contact a member of staff, otherwise you will likely be punished for your involvement as well.
  
• Attempting to get around a Shoutbox ban with a proxy IP/alternative account is grounds for a warning and may be followed with a ban on the user's forum account.
  

D. Applications

• Every Character must have a complete Bio
  
• Every Character must be original, canon characters are not allowed
  
• All bios must have the Acceptance of a Mod before beginning to RP
  
• After completing the changes requested by the reviewing mod, post "Revised" in your character thread.
  
• NO unknowns are accepted. Your character and any sentient in the Galaxy may not know where you were born, however, you were, in fact, born somewhere. This and all required information must appear in the bio prior to acceptance.
  
• Adherence to special Mod Approval (ex. Chiss Race) must be maintained. If you don't know about something, ask!
  
• It is recommended that you update your Bio following every major event in your character's life. Please state within your bio when these In Character additions begin so the Mods can differentiate between the original bio and the new additions.
  
• Grey Jedi are force users not affiliated with either the Sith/Dark Jedi or the Jedi, as such, these applications will be placed in the Fringe section.
  
• If you wish to edit your accepted profile, you must first get mod approval either by PM'ing them or posting on the app itself. Minor appearance or personality changes don't need approval but for everything else it is necessary.
  

E. Character Limits

• Members may make up to 4 characters freely. For a fifth to eighth character, a member must seek permission from a mod or admin. For the ninth character and up and above, admin approval is required. The absolute maximum number of characters a member may have is 12.
  
• A member may have up to four force using characters. If two of these are in the same faction (Jedi, Dark Jedi/Sith, Gray Jedi), they may not be of the same rank or mastery level. No more than two characters are permitted to be made within the same faction.
  
• A member may have more than one character in each of the military factions: Republic, Sith, and Mandalorian, as long as those characters are in different branches of service (i.e., navy, army, etc.)
  
• There is no limit on fringe or civilian characters, aside from the maximum of 12 total characters.
  

F. Violations

• Offenses will be handled through PM. If you have a problem with a Member, you will contact a Mod via PM. Any on board harassment will result in punishment. 'Fighting Back' on board will also result in punishment. All discrepancies will be handled by the mods.
  
• Punishments range in severity starting at Warning via PM and ending with 7 day ban or even permanent ban with character deletion.
  
• Punishment will be handled ONLY at the discretion of the Mod Team.
