Welcome to... The Laws Page!
(This is where you stare in reverence at your computer screen and are awed by the greatness...)
Why are you not reverent and awed yet?
Okay, onto the actual Laws, instead of my insane rambling. WAIT! One more thing...
As to the formatting of this page, the Laws are divided into sections; these categories will be distinguished by the bold and underlined font. Beneath these, on bullet point, will be the rules for said section.
Oh, and a disclaimer. I (Dana Phantom) am a bit of a sarcastc... meanie. Some of the following rules may be a little strongly worded. That's just because I've been doing this for six years. I have strong feelings towards certain regulations. My views do not reflect the views of the entire administration or of the RPers that have chosen to play here. Have a nice day.
NOW onto the Laws…

Modified by ~Star~ because she had something to add, that's all. Some rules may be repeated, but that's alright. Original rules posted by Dana Phantom.

- Question not the word of the Site Owner; her word is absolute.
- Listen to those that out rank you. This is so obvious, I don't know why I'm putting this here. But I am.
- I don't care how many characters you have. Seriously, have a million for all I care. Just keep them active.
- Mary-Sues or Gary-Stus are not allowed under any circumstances. Anyone trying to pass off a Sue/Stu as a normal character will be mocked for a long time, and then have your character deleted. This is a warning. Afraid your character is a Sue/Stu? Go google a test.
- I reserve the right to delete anyone who isn't on for a month straight without notice. A month being, not a set total of days, rather as, if you haven't been on since the third of last month, and it's the tenth, I reserve the right to delete you, and not have to explain why. Got it? Excellent.
OOC
- Please keep swearing down to a minimum... I mean, if you're ranting (and the thread should be marked as such), or you feel the need to swear, it's ok, but not every other word, ok?
- No Discriminatory Comments. Ever. We will NOT tolerate this.
- Be insane, we don’t care. We all are, anyways.
In Character
- While we like to think we're very lenient on our post length, we're really not. Posts need to be a minimum of one paragraph. And don't think "OH! I just wrote a sentence, pressed enter, and wrote another sentence! There, two paragraphs!" No. Not at all. A paragraph is four sentences. Minimum. This is only for RP threads. However, for regular, general posts all I ask of you is to NOT just post 'Ok', or 'Sure' or any 1-2 word posts. It's just a waste of space. Try and post at least a sentence, which can be 3+ words. This shouldn't be hard.
- As long as we're on posting, keep in mind grammar and spelling. We have a Grammar Nazi that will not hesitate to correct you. And she's not very nice.
- Be curtious to your fellow RPers. Give them time to reply. Keep post order. My biggest pet peeve is people not keeping post order, so anyone not keeping it while I RP is going to get a severe tongue-lashing. But I'm a creep like that.
- Canon characters do still exist. You are allowed to interact with them. However, you are not allowed to RP them. Admins are the only people allowed to play a canon. If you have a need for a canon character for your particular thread, please message one of them (preferably Dana), and we can see what we can do.
Dragons and Boosters
- There are very few restrictions, as we like to give our members the freedom to create their own stories and plots. However, all plots need to be approved by administration.
- You are allowed to have nearly any Dragon color, with three exceptions: Golds, Grays, and Dark Blues. Because of their rarity, power, and, in the case of the Dark Blues, antagonistic position in this RP, it would be illogical to let anyone and their uncle have one. Therefore, if you want one, you need to prove that you are capable of handling it. You have to get the rank of Academy Racer for a Gray or Dark Blue and Elite Class Racer for a Gold.
- Boosters are similarly limited. There will be one Booster per color. The five Boosters that would have appeared on the show will remain with their original holders unless you can think up a very good reason and a very good plot to remove it from them. That means you have nine different colors to chose from. All Boosters must first be applied for by messaging the administration, with a name for the Booster, their color and special abilities, a plot as to how your character goes about finding their amulet and gauntlet. The admin will then decide if you are worthy. Do not consider applying for one unless you have acquired the rank of All-City Racer or you will not be considered.

RPing Rules:
- Please follow the plot line and characters of the Dragon Booster show...it makes things so much more easier.
- Please don't just have a one word post, or even a two word...those are pointless, anything above three words is perfect!
- Keep the details low...details as in inappropriate stuff, like a dragon or human giving birth, or gory fight. Battles and fights do happen, yes, but let's keep the gore down to a minimum, like the show, kk? Good!
Staff Rules:
- No staff member, even an Administrator or Co-Admin shall ban or delete any member or other staff member. Only the site owner may do that. Clear?
- If there is any problem with another member, the staff member or member present MUST PM Dana Phantom, your Co-Admin, Nerevari, your G-Mod, or myself, your Head Admin and explain the situation VERY CLEARLY so we can handle it without any pain. Thus saving all of us a severe and irritating migraine.
- Staff must always move the accepted characters to the Fully Registered board so there will be less space.
- Nobody is allowed to delete or modify any posts unless they have a very good reason for it, so please, if you do so, make it similar to this example:
(insert modified post or phrase)
Modified by Starhunter (etc.) for poor grammar and poor spelling. Members could not understand what he/she had posted.
(Insert Signature of Modifier) ~Star~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Modified by ~Star~ because she had something to add, that's all. Some rules may be repeated, but that's alright. Original rules posted by Dana Phantom.
