These are just guidelines, but we prefer you follow them, because it really does help people and it will make people want to participate with you.
1. Please use correct grammar. Puncutation is a big part of writing, without it everything becomes scrambled. As for spelling, there is a spell check at the bottom of the box for a reason.
2. Don't double post. It's just rude and annoying. Don't post more than once in a row, instead modify and old post. If you are posting with a person or people who are not responding for more than a week without any notice, then you may double post once, no triple-posting or any of that etc. Once again you dont have to listen to this, but it's very rude if you don't.
3. Refer in third person. Some RP Boards don't do this, then it's ok, but the majority are third person, so dont post: I looked at him and said "Hello my name is Joe." He looked at me in a funny way. And then I knew, I, Mr. Huckleberry Finn was in trouble!... I dunno where that came from.
4. Dialogue. You may be as weird and funky with words as you want in dialogue, as long as your trying to make it sound like an accent or some type of speech problem etc. In OOC you can be as funky and improper with words as you want, just when describing what is happening in an RPG, please be literate.
5. There isn't a set limit to a post, but if your IC please post more than one line. At least make it a good paragraph long. One liners are boring and leave the other person with nothing to post back.
No one is forcing good grammar, but it would help to understand you.
