Hello people!
- Katherine
Darlings, darlings, darlings... well I thought certain things are obvious and don't actually need to be mentioned in the rules, but apparently some people lack respect or logic or sense. So here's the deal. Today I had encountered a problem I hope I will NOT encounter again because next time, I will NOT be forgiving and will also take action in more than just deletion of members... maybe even going far enough to reporting to their hosting sites.
All the pictures(banners and board pictures and even some member pictures, plot pictures etc.) are custom made by Damon for THIS SITE and don't you DARE use them as your own. I am serious. I will report all the use of stuff I have outside my site, especially if permission for using them by anyone else was not granted. No stealing:
• pictures(banners, plot, contests, promotion, characters', boards)
• character biographies
• site structure
• plots(major or minor)
• made-up characters
• ideas
• any kind of lists
• application forms
• jobs
• rules(even reediting them is plagiarism)
• ETC.
Anything taken from this site be it in that list above or not is considered COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT. It may be just a site, but unlike low lives that steal from others, me and the rest of the people have worked our brains and spent hours and days of decision making and writing and structuring and moving and building and restructuring. Everything you see here is a result of our own ideas put together. All the rules have been written by me personally in one damn night: 8 hours of writing, deleting, rewriting. The rules have been edited at least 5 times since the birth of this site, so I know quite well what they contain and why, therefore I will recognize my words and ideas anywhere.
If you don't have a brain of your own to actually work up ideas, then that is your own goddamn problem. There are sites where you can ask people to help you with plot ideas or site ideas or even structure ideas. If you didn't know that, then it means you are not fit to run a RP site yet. I will allow NO ONE to benefit from someone else's effort be it mine or a simple new member of mine.
I suggest you take this seriously; as I said before, if this message is coming from me and not from any other staff member, then it means it's a really fucked up situation. Oh and btw, I am not the only one with this strong opinion against stealing our stuff, so I suggest you think twice before you act, for I won't be the only one attacking.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO READ THIS MESSAGE SUIT YOURSELF, WHEN YOU'LL GET DELETED AND REPORTED I WON'T INFORM YOU THE MOTIVE AGAIN.
