WWE: VOLTAGE RULES
=========================================================

• SUPERSTAR SELECTION •
Real Superstars: Purely out of respect, we do not accept deceased Superstars to be used. We allow all the Superstars listed on the Vacant Roster. If you wish to a Superstar not listed please enquire in the Guest Lounge. Please understand that your sample roleplay should reflect the current popularity of the Superstar you are applying for. For example, if you choose Edge you must be able to produce at least 2.5k roleplay weekly.
Created Wrestlers: We most certainly do accept CAWs here, however they may not use wrestling related pic bases. Instead, you may use any pic base such as actors, movie characters, musicians, public figures etc. We do not accept pic bases that are animations such an anime or cartoons. We also do not accept silly gimmicks such as "Santa Claus" or "Batman". In addition, we do not accept celebrities themselves to become wrestlers such as Britney Spears or George Bush.

• ACTIVITY •
If we discover you have not been active (online) for 5 or more days (and are not on LOA), we have the right to delete your account or let somebody else take your character.

• MATCHES •
No Showing: If you know you cannot show for a match, please inform an Admin or your GM as soon as your know BEFORE the roleplay deadline expires. We have the right to delete any no show, though sometimes second chances are given and no showers will be placed into a Dark Match on the following card. If you have a Championship and no show a match we have the right to strip you of the Title.
Rematches: Contrary to popular belief, you are NOT entitled to a rematch for anything whatsoever including Championship Matches and Contender Matches. Whether you are granted one or not is solely at the discretion and decision of the GM.
Late Roleplays: Whether late roleplays are accepted or not is at the sole discression of the GM. They will usually not count, so be on time.
Limits: If you are in the Main Event of a card, the minimum you must write is three thousand words (3K). The maximum limit for any kind of non-title match is ten thousand words (10K). 10K is also the maxiumum allowed for World Championship matches. 8K is the maximum for Women's Championship matches. 5K is the maximum allowed for all other Championship matches. If you exceed any specified maximum limits, your roleplay may be disqualified.
Permissions: You may not use other characters in your roleplay (excluding commentators, interviewers etc.) without permission from the appropriate handler.
Losing: If you lose a match and are uphappy about the decision, do not moan about it on the board creating stupid conspiracy stories. Kindly send a PM to your GM and they will be happy to explain to you why you didn't win. If you continue to moan we will warn you and where necessary suspend or ban you.

• ROLEPLAY CONTENT •
Roleplays may not contain sexual or overly violent scenes. They must also not be littered with profanity (swearing). We advise that the scenes in your match roleplays are relevent. Be creative and build a story by all means, but "random" and "meaningless" scenes are frowned upon. Also be sure to colour and code your roleplays.

• GENERAL ROLEPLAYS/LOCKER ROOMS •
Please be courteous and do not "gate crash" roleplays that have a "TBC By So and So" tag unless you are the expected person to respond. Also be aware you may only post roleplays on the brand you are signed to, unless we have a crossbrand pay per view, which shall have a crossbrand roleplay section.

• STORYLINES •
You are strongly encouraged to exchange PMs with your GMs to develop a storyline for your Superstar. You can also do this through general roleplays and locker rooms. Failure to engage means the GM will put you where he/she sees fit. Understand that the GM has the final say on any storyline creation and progression.

• TRADING SHOWS •
If you are unhappy with the brand you are on (excluding Velocity) for whatever reason, please PM an Admin and we shall try and accomodate your desires.

• GRADUATING FROM VELOCITY •
If you are a member of our development brand, Velocity, you shall only be moved to a main brand when the Velocity Head Trainer is 100% confident that you are ready to do so.

• DROPPING TITLES •
We frown upon it. Try and avoid it.

• ADDITIONAL CHARACTERS •
The maximum is THREE, typically one per brand. However, we suggest you only take one character and concentrate on them to make them successful. If we feel your match roleplays of your original character are weak, we may deny a second and third character. Additionally, if you have multiple characters and we feel you are struggling (no showing, weak roleplays etc) we have the right to take characters away.

• CHANGING CHARACTERS •
If you want to change characters you must have at least 2 months solid performance before it is granted. If you no show during this time then the chances are you will be denied.

• FACTIONS AND ALLIANCES •
Factions may not exceed 6 members (excluding non wrestling managers). Please also be aware that even though your faction may initially form in a general roleplays, they MUST formally form during a show results to be accepted properly. Contact your GM about this. The same principle goes for adding a new member or the dissolution of the faction. Please note that we have the right to deny factions such as nWo, DX, Evolution etc from forming. Try and be original.

• OUT OF CHARACTER POSTING •
You may not post pornographic, violent or otherwise illegal or highly offensive material. You are expected to treat other members, staff and guests with appropriate respect. We do not tolerate OOC wars or discrimination of any kind. If you are found bullying or discriminating against someone, we shall ban or suspend you and where appropriate shall give your details to the police.

• ADVERTISING •
Just don't do it. All of our members and staff work extremely hard to build and maintain the fed you see before you today. If you are found to be advertising to our efed community (including through MSN or other messengers) you will immeditalely be banned. If you would like to be affiliated please contact the Admin and your fed will be considered.

• SIGNATURE •
You may only have 2 signatures that do not exceed 500 pixels wide or 200 pixels high. You may have up to 8 avatars/icons that are no more than 100x100 each. You may have a music player, but it must not be set to autoplay. You may also have as many drop down bars as necessary, but don't go mad. It is important to note your signature may NOT stretch the page because it is too wide. No youtube videos.
