These are the rules of the site! I expect them to be taken seriously and to be followed!
If any of the site rules are broken four times or more you will be suspended from the site for three days or more(depending on what you did). If you continue to break the rules, I may end up banning you from the site completely![/b][/color][/size]
+||Basic Rules||+
|||
Ok this is a very important rule! When you join this site do not just join and sit around talking to the other members. Make a bio as soon as your done reading the rules! This seriously bugs me when people do this so I'd advise you not to.
|||
Be Active. This also relates to the first rule. I do not want you to just come, make a bio, and then suddenly disappear! BE ACTIVE!! Any member here would rp with you if you just ask them!
|||
No Cussing. This should be an obvious rule, but sometimes people lose their cool and think its ok. This is a fun site so there is no reason to curse!
|||
Be Nice. This one is a no brainer also, but some people just come on here to cause trouble. The people on this site are very nice so treat them with theCode same respect.
|||
No Spamming! This really bugs me, so I'd try and avoid it. You only post in a thread one post at a time and three times in a row on the cBox! I don't want to see ten posts on the cBox or on a thread from you. Its irritating and confusing to the other members. If you need to add more text to the post you made in a thread, go up to the top right-hand corner of your post and use the modify button!
|||
Have Fun! I made this site for people to enjoy and have fun. So don't come on here with a bad attitude and drag everybody down or start looking for a fight!
|||
No Fighting. This is a pet peeve of mine. I hate it when people come on here and try to pick fights with the other members. They haven't done anything to you so don't pick a fight.
|||
Don't Bring up Religion. Not everyone in the world is the same religion as you are. So please refrain from talking about your church or anything like that. Its ok if you pm a person that has the same religion as you and talk about it but just don't go on the cBox or make a thread. I don't have anything against your religion but it makes things easier on everyone and causes less fights.
|||
ONLY CATS ON THIS SITE PLEASE!!! I don't want to see any horses or anything like that.

+||Site Rules (Continued)||+
|||
Activity here is a big thing for me. I expect regular members (which means members that do not hold a staff position), to be on at least once every two weeks, preferably more.
|||
Members that hold staff positions (which means leaders, deputies, and medicine cats) need to be on at least once every week, preferably more. If you suddenly go missing, I will send you two warning emails. If you do not reply by the date that I give you (which is usually one week after I send the last warning email), your cherrie will be retired and you will be replaced. You only get one shot at being a staff member! So make sure you keep on top of your activity.

+||Naming Your Character Rules||+
|||
The first part of your name should be related to the forest. I don't want to see people with 'Gumkit', gum is not forest related!
|||
When choosing your name make sure its not already taken! I don't want to see two Snowfurs on the site. You can still use the first part of the name, just not Snowfur. It could be Snowpelt, Snowtail, etc.
|||
I don't want to see ten people with theword same first part of there name. For example, I don't want to see Raintail, RainCloud, Rainfur, etc. I know you may be in different clans but, its still somewhat irritating to see so many people with the same first part of their name. I understand that you like the name, but so do other people. And there are plenty of other unique, nice names you can choose from. If your having trouble pm me or another leader and we will try to help.
|||
When you are having a ceremony to become a warrior the last part of your name is up to you, as long as its not already taken. You just need to pm your leader and tell them. However, you do not get to choose the last part of your name when you are a kit or apprentice. Everyones second part of their name when they are a kit will end in 'kit' and everyone second part of their name when they are an apprentice will end in 'paw'. Example for a kit would be: Snowkit, Barkkit, Leafkit, etc. Example for an apprentice would be: Snowpaw, Barkpaw, Leafpaw, etc.

+||Cherrie(Character) Rules||+
|||
You are allowed up to eight cherries! After that you will have to pm me or a co and explain why you need to have another one. Usually we are lenient but, if your just going to make the cherrie because your bored or want to be part of that clan, we are probably going to say no.
|||
When you go to make a new cherrie you must re-register for another account. One cherrie per account.
|||
Your cherrie cannot be in more than one thread at a time! In real life, you can't be in two places at once so neither can your cherrie. However, if you are just posting in the random boards, and not rping this is okay.
|||
Your cherries cannot be strange colored. I want to keep this site somewhat normal. Try to think of natural colors cats would be. I don't want to see any green or neon colored cherries!
|||
When your cherrie is having kits, make sure you can find rpers to rp all of the kits! If not you will have to lessen the number of kits you have.
|||
If you are a medicine cat and want to break the medicine cat code by having a mate or having kits, you must pm me first for an okay.

+||Rping Rules||+
|||
Please do not power play or god mode when your in a fight (it means you don't let your opponent hit you or your indestructible. You need to have some flaws), I know its hard not to but try to refrain from doing it.
|||
Be Realistic. Cats cannot fly or lift boulders the size of trucks. They're not half dog half cat or anything like that. They are normal cats! Lets leave it at that!
|||
You can only have one high position! I don't care what your excuse is! And high positions include: Medicine Cats, Deputies, Medicine Cat apprentices, and of coarse leaders!
|||
Use correct grammar. This is obvious if you want other people to understand your posts. Show off your grammar skills! Prove to us thatCherries your smart!
|||
Please make a bio once you have found the code words and read all of the rules, before you start rping.
