* RULES !

[( LARAFOO )]

First off, I'd like to say
WELCOMEEE!!
To Windsor Academy, yet another follow-on of the popular WH franchise. :)
To any new members, welcome to the WH family and we hope you like it here.
These are the rules.
Everyone knows them.
Everyone hates reading them.
But please do, because it will save me stabbing you with a spork as I am prone to do if you break the all-sacred rules.
So before you start posting your application, please take a few minutes to read the lovely rules.
Thanks much. =D

* GENERAL RULES !

• I'LL ALLOW SWEARING..
  this isn't really anything i've had a major problem with. i think we're all mature enough here to handle the occasional profanity. don't go overboard, but don't be afraid to. it's not all that classy/nice/friendly, but i won't bug you for it.
  
  
• RESPECT ALL MEMBERS ..
  all members are equal, including staff. so i expect everyone to play nicely. no nasty comments, no racism, etc. i don't expect this to happen, so don't disappoint me, okay?
  
  
• ACTIVITY ..
  if there's one thing every admin hates, it's hit-and-run members. you know the type - join, but never post. it's the most annoying thing in the world. please, please, please stay active and reply to all activity checks or you will be deleted.
  
  
• THE BIRDS && THE BEES ..
  listen up. this is about sexual content and the like. if there is any suggestion then please mark your thread with an 'R'. this gives people the choice of whether they want to view it or not. if anyone has a problem with the 'R' content, then i'm sorry, but in order to be realistic as possible, you have to allow that sort of stuff. be mature about it. that's life, it happens, if you don't like it then i suggest you don't read it.
  
  
• NO INAPPROPRIATE CONTENT ..
  this is kind of obvious and i have no doubt that you guys wouldn't even think of breaking this rule, but just to cover my ass i'm going to say it anyway. this site is for fun and everyone's welcome but the second things get out of hand, your IP will be banned and you will wake up to find a spork in your neck. you have been warned.
  
  
• NO COPYING ..
  DO NOT copy anyone's plot titles/names/charrie stuff. it's the most annoying thing in the world, so to protect everyone's stuff, everything on Windsor is copyrighted to its owner. if you're caught copying, you'll be straight out banned. you should have your own ideas, not other peoples'.
  
  
• NO GOD-MODING ..
  god-moding is basically power-playing. it means making someone else's character do something they didn't actually write. it's really annoying and you will be severely warned. if you don't understand exactly what it is feel free to PM me and ask.
  
  
• RULES CAN CHANGE ..
  please keep up-to-date with the rules as they will change.

* HORSES !

• THE BASICS ..
  - all breeds welcome, but no mythical creatures, eg. unicorns, pegusi, etc.
  - six horse limit for each character.
  - no abuse or neglect of the horses unless it is fitting with a plot.
  - horses must be taken to the vet and farrier regularly.
  - each horse has an equal opportunity to win in a competition.
  
  
• HORSE LIMITS ..
  every character has a limit of six horses. that's EACH character. you can have up to six horses all the time, no matter what your postage amount is.
  
  
• HORSE ACTIVITY ..
  please keep each of your horses active. this means your character should interact with them at least once a week. horses that have fallen inactive will be given one week to become active; after that, they will be deleted.
  
  
• PURCHASING && SELLING ..
  horses may be purchased from starlight animal adoption, any auctions at the western ranch, bought from the sales barn or created by the owner. if you no longer want a horse, please put it up for sale in the sales barn.
  
  
• BREEDING ..
  - stallions must be 3 years or older.
  - mares must be 4 years or older.
  - you can breed all year round.
  - no graphic breeding or foaling.
  - mare is pregnant for at least 5 real-life days.
  
  
  
  
  * CHARACTERS !
  
  
  
• THE BASICS ..
  - no perfect charries; they are uber annoying and everyone hates them.
  - be realistic. no supermodel looks and none of this bloody changing eye color crap.
  - try to keep goths, emos, etc. to a minimum.
  - NO HORSE/RIDER PARTNERSHIPS WHERE THE HORSE WILL ONLY RESPOND TO THE RIDER AND IS DEFENSIVE TO EVERYONE ELSE. THIS IS NOT ONLY UNREALISTIC PASSWORD IS BRICK BY BORING BRICK BUT THE MOST ANNOYING THING IN THE ENTIRE WORLD AND I WILL EAT YOUR FACE IF YOU DO THIS. GOT IT?
  
  
  
  * MISCELLANEOUS !
  
  
  
• USER LIMITS ..
  - one account per member. you don't need any more.
  - 6 charrie limit per member.
  - you may have any username you want.
  
  
  
  
  DONE!
  yeah, so i know that was uber long.
  DON'T FALL ASLEEP!
  sorry to put you through this.
