These are the rules of this forum, please read them before you read anything else.
Rule 1: Be nice.
This ones easy all you need to do is be pleasant to everyone else on the forum, so be kind, polite, offer constructive criticism and don't be mean. If anyone is being a bit of a tw*t to you or anyone please PM a member of staff.
Rule 2: Grammar.
If you're writing an RP post then please try write at least one paragraph, it gives the next person something to work with rather than just one line. This isn't that hard, just throw in some adjectives, adverbs, what your character is thinking. Also, use proper grammar and spelling, there's a "Spell Check" button underneath click on that and it'll start correcting your spelling. Obviously it'll think some words or names, like 'Ra's al Ghul', are wrong so use your own judgement. One more thing, please write in third person (Karen picked up her bag) rather than first person (I picked up my bag) and don't write it is a script, regular paragraphing.
Rule 3: RP properly
In other words don't go around God-Modding everything, read the last posts and then post accordingly, don't force other players to do something drastic without PMing them to see if it's okay.
Rule 4: Listen to the staff.
We're in charge for a reason, if you're disobeying any of the rules then we will punish you for it. Also, any moderator found abusing their powers in any way, shape or form, is in serious trouble.
Rule 5: Characters.
You are allowed more than one character (max 10. If you want more, speak to the staff), no requirements needing to be met on one of them to post the next. If you do make a new character don't just abandon your old ones, you are allowed to kill your character off if you want to. Please register a separate account for each character.
Rule 6: Leaving
If you decide to leave the site, please let us know and arrange for your characters fates.
Rule 7: No fandom crossing
We don't want to see a Sherlock Holmes, or a Tony Stark, or anything like that. No fandom crossing, period. Make allusions, but I don't want to see like 95% personality match, same face claim, etc. This is strictly DC.
Rule 8: Limited Superpowers
Arrow has been slowly building up to the introduction of superpowers, and the Flash TV show will feature more. We will have superpowers here, but in the same way as the show has handled it. Mirakuru, for instance, or the particle reactor (which will be a thing), etc. Please do not start with powers unless you talk to the staff first.
Rule 9: Word Count
There is none. But, I don't want a bunch of one-line responses. While there is no word count, put effort in. Try to get at least three to four sentences per post. The occasional one-liner is fine, but seriously, put effort in.
Rule 10: Have fun.
This is the most important rule, enjoy yourself!

- Rule 3, amendment A: Auto-Hitting
Auto-hitting should be kept to a minimum if used at all. It's better not to use it, for the sake of a fair fight in which both sides can react. Just don't abuse it, such as making every attack miss your character. If you and who you're playing with have a deal or something, go ahead and auto-hit - but only if, as said, you have a deal in place, or something.
