Please take note of this. The last thing I will deal with is a Gmod type of deal going on here. Offenders will of course be warned at first, but if the problem persists then Rping here for that person shall be halted so that the problem can be further looked into before major decisions get made.1.) Do not God-moderate:
God-moderation (god-modding for short) is when you are limiting your opponents’ reactions to the point where you are depriving them of an open post. This can be done in several ways, the most notorious of which is actually controlling the opponent in your post. For example:
Quote:

This, on the surface, doesn’t seem bad at all. However, you will notice that Julius specifically stated what Hera's attack did, even though Hera did not give him express permission to send Jake’s sword into the earth. By stating what Jake did in a time where Hera could have had the reflexes to change the outcome of the swing, Julius God-modded. This is expressly forbidden in ORPGs and URPGs. Prosecutors may be addressed by the Role-Play Master of the game (i.e. the creator of the RP or whomever has been designated the leader of the RP by the creator) and asked to stop. If it continues, the Role-Play Master reserves the right to remove the offending member from the RP. A Moderator or Administrator also reserves these rights.
An example of a good post would be the following (excepting length):
Quote:

Here, Julius left the results of his block up to Hera, while he moved away and continued his attack.
We had a problem of this within the last Evanescent Fairytale. I assure you that being overly strong(throwing trees, blasting a billions soldiers at once, crushing buildings with a mighty tiptoe, etc) for characters is totally out of the question. Also this Rp is trying to create a bit of realism when it comes to hitting and getting hit. Not everyone has ultra high stamina and can dodge everything going their way.2.) Do not Power-play:
Power-playing is using or having abilities that are absurdly strong or uncharacteristically powerful of your character. An example is having a character that is particularly accomplished in archery, and yet horrendous in melee combat, and then having them fight like an accomplished veteran in melee. Things like the ability to reflect spells, consistent and unfair dodging of attacks, and unavoidable attacks are included both here and god-modding. Similarly to God-Modding, the RP Master reserves the right to ask you to shape up, and to leave, should this problem persist. This right is also reserved by the RP Moderators and Administrators.
This should be common sense. Please do not insult another, yadda yadda.3.) Do not spam or flame:
RPs are meant to have in-depth and involved posts. One-liners will be acknowledged by the RP Master and, should the issue persist or not, the offending posts will be deleted by a Moderator or Administrator. Flaming is absolutely NOT tolerated, and prosecutors will be dealt with at the Moderator’s discretion.
Yes. Gladly I know that nobody on this forum will confuse an RP thread with it's discussion thread.4.) Keep Out-of-Character content to a minimum:
While it is acceptable to post Out-of-character content (OOC for short, this is basically when YOU are talking to members instead of the character) in an RP, this should be kept at a minimum and not interfere with the RP Post itself. Any large OOC comments should be placed in the RP’s corresponding discussion thread, as outlined by the RP Master. If this issue persists, the RP Master reserves the right to ask you to leave. If the RP Master wishes, the offender may be warned for spam.
