Superhero RP's Rules and Regulations

Spoofing is when you create a username that is too similar or a variation on an existing name in order to confuse others as to whom a person is. Do not create a username to intentionally mislead others into thinking you are a member of the SHRPG staff or user.

What is deemed to be offensive includes, but is not limited to user names containing strong language, sexually related terms or any form of discriminatory speech.

Admins reserve the right to ban or temp. ban any account they deem as offensive.

Users banned for this reason must submit a ban review (or wait out the time) before possibly being allowed a new account.

You may have multiple accounts if you have multiple characters. An account for each character is recommended for organization of your posts and information.

However, it is not a mandatory requirement. You are more than welcome to have one singular account for all of your characters.

Message an Administrator for a name change.

NOTICE: If you just asked for a name change less than a week prior to trashing and creating a new character, you have to wait and RP as that character for at least a week or two before trashing it.

See Character Retirement Rules for more information.

No icons or signatures directed at another user without consent of that user.

No signatures that exceed 600 pixels in height. Spoilers can help with this issue.

No flash movie signatures. These are typically too large and also require embedding, which can often cause problems for many members. As a result, no flash signatures are tolerated.

No music signatures. This refers to signatures that play songs automatically. Other users should not be subjected to the music of your choice; please keep others in mind.

No signature or icon which prompts any type of pop up for any browser. This is self-explanatory; if your signature or avatar requires a password, please be sure to set it for public viewing.

There will be very little tolerance for flaming. Arguments and debates are healthy, however. You may not insult the other party.
Flaming includes all of the following points:
Verbally degrading other users.
Harassing other users persistently in any manner.
Harassing other users private messaging.

Users are asked to use the private messaging system (or off site means) to carry on these debates. However if one party feels the other is harassing them without cause, administrators will take action against this person. Repeated instances of this on the public forums may result in a temporary or permanent ban. Each case of flaming will be handled individually and at the sole discretion of the moderators and admins.

Also, when actually carrying out a debate/argument with legitimate reason, turning to vulgar words for sake of holding your end of the argument is not a good idea. If you have to resort to using curse words, then you should do the mature thing and let it go.

Again, there is plenty of vulgar language used in the chatbox, usually just joking. This is not a problem and you will not get into any trouble for joking around in the chat, however, there is a limit, if you are offending some one or know you are saying something to offend some one. STOP, you will be banned.

In the Hero/Villain Application section of our forum, you will find a big, shiny button that looks exactly like this:

Be sure to have the Character Template copy and pasted so that you can fill it out! Now, on to the rules of Role Playing.

No god modding

All battles and threads must be turned based. This means at the start of the thread you and everyone in the topic must decide a turn system. (Normally posting orders make themselves; but if someone leaves the thread, or fails to post, skip them after a 3-7 days. Add them back to the cycle if they return.)
Take other peoples attributes into thought.

No Marvel, D.C., or any other comic book characters. We only accept Original characters.
No use of the SuperPower wiki for power examples. Try to make up your own.

No claiming to have hit someone, (EX: Pain punched the crook in the face. WRONG) You must say you threw the punch (EX: Pain threw a punch at the crook. RIGHT)

You cannot kill someone's character without permission. You may beat them to a near death state, but they can not actually die without their permission.

Superhero RPG has a rating of 2-2-2. This means we allow violence, cursing, mild-gore, and PG-13 situations.

Give your posts time and detail. Make sure everything is spelled correctly. Check your grammar to make it easier and more interesting for those you are roleplaying with.

No rip off characters, you can have similar ones, but be original.

Powers and weaknesses are discussed at app approval; if you are unsure of a concept, feel free to contact a staff member.

Try not to have a character younger than 16, if there are any younger than this, they need to be really cool, or have a reason for fighting crime at that age other than "I want to."

Do not use the Powerlisting Wiki in your app. Do not copy/paste the power from the Wiki. You will be asked to remove it by a Mod or Admin. (Yes I've brought this up once before, and I'll do it again and again and again.)
If you don't fully understand the power enough to put it into your own words, you shouldn't be using it.

Furthermore, that site is a collection of examples across thousands of works of fiction. Just because it lists something as an additional power doesn't mean it's automatically included.

Upon character, item, or minion changes and/or edits, you must make a post on your app stating exactly what you're changing, even if it's editing out a mistake you made.

Cheating, breaking copyright, and plagiarism are all against the Rules of this site and can or will be resulted in a warning or a temporary/permanent ban. Please, the admins don't like having to enforce such rules, but if necessary, action will be taken.
