Most important rules that result in temporary ban/warning level raise(or permanent ban depending on the rule) are highlighted in red.
1. Respect EVERYONE.
1. Respect EVERYONE.
Staff at OW want everyone to enjoy their time here. Any disrespectful words or direct racism, sexism, or discrimination on religion/sexuality will not be tolerated. If you are a victim of this, please contact staff by PM immediately.
2. Be Literate.
Nobody wants to Roleplay with someone who's posts they cannot read. Please, be literate by: Capitalizing proper nouns, and the beginning of sentences, putting periods, commas, apostrophes, etc. where necessary. If you have problems with spelling, try your best. If you need help with literacy, ask someone to help you!
3. No Mary/Gary Sues.
This is not too difficult! Elements of Mary/Gary Sues include... Being perfect, flawless, having special abilities that other characters normally don't, etc. You should get the point. If you still don't understand, there are many sources that very well explain M/GS.
4. Your Character Should NOT Stick Out Like a Sore Thumb!
Somewhat self explanatory. If you apply for CreekClan and your cat has very thin fur, that does not make sense! Your cat should be similar to most of the others in the clan. They can have different personalities, eye colours, etc. but please, do not do this! But remember, this is different from unique!

6. Signatures
Signatures cannot include the following:
(trigger warning)
Reference to rape, suicide, cutting, etc.
Gigantic images. If your signature is too large, staff will contact you and ask you to either shrink it (or we can shrink it) or put it as a spoiler.
Screamers. Screamers are things that pop up, often a scary face, and play a loud noise. This can trigger some people to have a panic attack, and we don't want that happening.
7. Characters
You can have ten cats that are in the official roleplay.
Three high ranks
One Wildcat
Three Kittypets
