1. No bullying of any kind. Anyone caught bullying will be banned from the site imediatly. Bullying includes making someone feel uncomfortable, mean or bad words toward someone, talking about someone in a mean way without them knowing, and ignoring someone for no reason. If one of the Administration is making you feel uncomfortable then you must message Kestrel right away so she can deal with it.
2. No begging. Every high rank will be chosen by another high rank or by Kestrel or one of the Admins. Also, don't beg to be someones mate, kit, mentor, apprentice, or anything else like that. You may ask politely but do not beg, the person might allow you or ask you to be what ever you wanted but thats it.
3. No powers or crazy colored cat. This is based on the real warrior cats books made by Erin hunter so their are no purple or rainbow cats with wings or horns. Mutations are okay. For example, being blind is okay and missing a leg or being cripled is all okay but you must have a reason for how they became like that.
4. No Mini-moding. Their are real moderators for a reason so you don't need to take it into your hands. Message Kestrel or another Admin and we will take care of it.
5. Please respect all members of this site. Do not ask for really personal information! Something friendly like asking their name or something is allowed, but you do not have to tell anybody anything about yourself if you don't want to. Just say something like: "Sorry, I don't really want to share that!"
6. On this site we are using both the forest and lake territory. No clans are located back in their first camps, only kitty-pets and rogues are allowed in that territories. The lake territory takes place far after the books and I am mean far into the future. For the fan clans and tribes I have made, you must play the characters some where in their territory. No cat from Winterclan will be with the other clans since they do not know each other and Winterclan is far away from these four clans.
7. The maximum number of kits you can have per litter is four, because it is very hard to RP all of them equally, and it isn't fair to the people who want kits also. Kestrel will make bans on kits if there are too many in a Clan! If you don't think this is fair, just imagine you have seven kits, and I make a kit ban. That means seven other people can't even make one kit because you have so many! Please think of others too! You are however, allowed to have your queen have more than four kits if you plan on having some die right from birth, or if other people are role-playing your kits!
8. You may only have one mate at a time. In the books, there were absolutely no cats who had several mates at a time or anything sketchy like that. You may also not have kits until you are a warrior. Also, it is extremely inappropriate for an older apprentice or any aged warrior to have a crush on a kit, or a warrior having a crush on a apprentice. That's basically the human equivalent of a teenager having a crush on a toddler! Along with a grown adult having a crush on a teenager. A young apprentice or kit doesn't even really have a proper concept of love anyway, so please go easy on that!
9. No power-playing other characters. This means that you cannot control anyone else's character, or pretend to be someone you're not! This also includes adding cats in your description or story without asking them first, or using battle techniques improperly.(See rules 10)
10. Please use battle techniques fairly. Posting something like *jumps out of the way before Blacktooth can hit him and rakes him across the nose, then pushes him into a tree* is power-playing because you don't know how Blacktooth would have reacted after you scratched his nose. Posting that message implies that Blacktooth did nothing to defend himself, which may or may not be true. An easy way to avoid this is to break up the techniques. For example, you could post *jumps out of the way before Blacktooth can hit him and scratches his nose*, then wait to see Blacktooth's post, then post again after, according to what Blacktooth last said. It's no fun to fight someone invincible, so I mean, unless you are fighting a kit or something, you are obviously going to get somewhat injured.
11. Absolutely no swearing (obviously warrior insults are fine), and no inappropriate content and spamming/non-stop advertising in the chat boxes is allowed!
12. Please respect your cat's rank in the Clan. For example, kits cannot fight full grown warriors without getting easily killed, and leaders must lose lives somewhat often, but the major thing is that warriors are not allowed to use herbs like a medicine cat. No warrior would want a medicine cat giving them battle tips and hanging around the training hollow all the time getting in their way, so please respect that! The only exception is, if some cat is dying and there is no medicine cat there, you can use easy herbs like catmint or cobwebsbecause it's an emergency! Even if you joined the Clan knowing herbs from your past, if you were a respectful warrior, you would leave that job to the Clan's actual medicine cats!Also, remember that a kit has not been trained in the slightest, as it is against the warrior code! So for example, if I see something in your description about how your kit is a great hunter, I will take it out because that is impossible! The only exception to this is if your cat was from somewhere else first, like BloodClan, where they didn't have such rules, and they may have learned battle or hunting skills. Also, no cat besides the leader should be ordering the Clan around (except maybe the deputy), making ceremonies or announcements, or going onto the high-ledge.
13. Your character, of course, can have talents, but with those, they also must have flaws. You cannot be good at hunting, climbing, running, swimming, healing, jumping, and fighting all at once. You may pick one or two that you excel in. Otherwise, you are basically a super-cat, which is boring for everyone that is role-playing with you. If you make a kit, you cannot say that they are good at fighting or hunting because they aren't allowed to know how. However, you could say that according to their build, they will likely make a good fighter or hunter in the future.
14. There cannot be two cats with the exact same name in a Clan because it gets way too confusing. You can share names from different Clans though, so a Pebblefur in ShadowClan, and a Pebblefur in ThunderClan would be okay. Kits and 'Paws can have the same prefix, as long as their suffix is different when they earn their warrior name. Eg: Two Pebblekits in ThunderClan is fine, as long as they choose different suffixes.If you see another cat named like yours is and you made your character second, then please change some part of it.
15. I'm sorry but Tom-tom and She-she relationships are not allowed. Kestrel, nor any of the staff are against such things. However, the books do not have them and for the sake of the site, it will not be allowed.
16. There is no limit on characters, but please only create characters that you will play. It takes up space on the site and confuses everyone else! Once again, I will delete any character I see not being played often!
17. Your character cannot be in two places at once, or "teleport" around. For example, you cannot post in the leader den box when you are supposed to be in the patrol box. I know sometimes people do this by accident, but please don't knowingly skip around the boxes. This also means that you can't randomly appear in the den of another Clan's camp. There may be a situation where you enter the camp unnoticed because there were no patrols going on, but there is no way you can pop up into, let's say, the nursery, without someone seeing or smelling you first! Cats can smell intruders easily and they always have guards at camp for that reason!
18. The administration staff for this website includes: Only Kestrel right now. We are short on hands and this is in the begging stage so be patient with us if we don't get to you right away. Please and respect them as you would me (Briarpelt)! If you believe that they are being unfair with you for some reason, send them an email and discuss it with them politely! Sending them rude messages or hate will just encourage them to delete you!
19. Please don't beg the admin staff to make you either an admin, or to allow someone back on the site after they have been deleted! We delete people for a reason; they are harming the site, and we want the site to be as friendly and fun as possible! Also, only I (Eveningstar) choose new admins, so please do not ask me repeatedly if you can be one. I'm sorry, but if you email me asking to be an admin, I will probably just delete the message, just because I get so many a day and don't want to type the same thing over and over again!
20. Pages that are restricted are restricted for a reason! If you are caught asking, or otherwise attempting to obtain the username or password of the restricted pages, you will be deleted without warning nor chance of explanation. These pages are restricted for a reason so don't try to get onto them without permission.
21. Do not rant/flame/moan or argue over any punishment you may have been given. If you truly believe it was/is a unfair punishment you may contact any other admin to hear your story, the other admins story, and choose whether or not the punishment is appropriate, or to give out a new one.
22. If anyone rebels against another member or towards the staff there will be an immediate ban to whoever is involved in the rebellion. Though, peaceful protests in messages are okay. The staff's word is ultimately law, however.
23. High-ranks must be active! They must be on daily with very few exceptions (academic activities, groundings, etc). If a high-rank disappears without notice they risk being de-ranked depending on their activity before the disappearance. High-ranks suspected of inactivity will get at least one warning and 2-weeks grace time to respond before they are de-ranked from their title. A high-rank may be required to send in a weekly report to the admin of that specific Clan/Group at the admin's discretion. If multiple reports are required and skipped, you risk being de-ranked.
24. Follow all these rules or you will be at risk of being banned or punished depending on how and what rules you broke.
2. No begging. Every high rank will be chosen by another high rank or by Kestrel or one of the Admins. Also, don't beg to be someones mate, kit, mentor, apprentice, or anything else like that. You may ask politely but do not beg, the person might allow you or ask you to be what ever you wanted but thats it.
