(18) Multiple Accounts -

Due to the nature of NRC and it's delicately balanced RPG system, having more than one account at any time is not permitted. If there are multiple people in a household using NRC, each person is permitted one account. In the case of multiple accounts per household (operated by different people) you must PM any, or all, of the Admins alerting them of the multiple peoples in the household, to avoid making invalid bans. Below are the consequences for creating multiple accounts:

1st Offense: All account are banned permanently, excluding the original account. (ex. If you have 3 accounts ,one was created on January 23rd of the current year, the other July 23rd of the same year, and December 23rd of the same year, then the ones created on July 23rd and December 23rd will be banned, and the oldest account being the January 23rd account, will remain unbanned.)
2nd Offense (aka: You do it again, even after all but the original account are banned): All accounts are banned permanently, the original account is only banned for 1 week per account created after the first account (ex. You had three accounts, you are banned for 2 weeks. You had 5 accounts, you are banned for 4 weeks. Etc.).
3rd Offense(aka: You do it again, even after you've been banned for a period of time): All accounts are banned permanently.

The only legal way to maintain multiple accounts is with explicit permission given by the site's current owner.

* By Piracy we mean

Illegal copying of a product such as software or music.
The unauthorized duplication and/or use and distribution of a software program, including Music, Programs,Movies etc.

This also includes copying post from one forum to another with out the consent of the original author.

** By Legal we mean:

The selling of any material including drugs, guns , knives and any other product under the current law which is illegal.

Also the showing and allowing the showing of any material which is against the law and also against the MyFreeForum Terms And Conditions, this would include pornography in any shape or form.

Further Rules:

(1) Gold Members cannot start topics in the staff room, they may however post in subjects if they have a valid point.

(2) RPG mods cannot counter a claim an Admin has claimed. They may however, counter with a Owner to have the owner bypass their claim.

(3) Staff may not edit their own Applications, even at Admin level. You can however, edit someone else's application if you let an Admin know.

(since they disappeared somewhere)
Basic RP Rules:

(1) No god-modding
This means no using abilities your character doesn't possess, dodging attacks he or she can't reasonably avoid etc. This goes hand-in-hand with shadow-playing rule. If you believe someone is breaking this rule (overusing powerful abilities, dodging attacks unreasonably etc.), please contact a moderator or admin about the issue if you are not able to resolve it among yourselves.

(2) No shadow-playing
This means you can't control another person's character in any way, unless given official permission to use them while the owner is away. An example of shadow play in RP is when you execute an attack and say the opponent got hit. You can't do that, only the owner of the character decides whether she or he got hit or not, you can only attempt to hit them. If someone you are RPing with starts shadow playing your or another person's character, please contact a moderator or admin about the issue if you are unable to resolve it among yourselves.

(3) Keep it appropriate
A bit of strong language is fine if it's appropriate in the current RP events, but don't overuse it. If your character is ill-mannered, please replace the majority of swear words with asterisks or another common way of censorship. The same goes for inter-gender relations: you are only allowed to go as far as "suggestive themes", any more and your post will be deleted without warning.

(4) No "cloning"
This means that a single character cannot be in two places at once. There are very few clone jutsus that allow you to be in two (or more) different RP threads at once (among canon it's only Shadow Clone and Wood Clone), and you can't use clones to do training while your character is someplace else (meaning, even if you do have the Shadow Clone jutsu, you may not be in several threads at once while your character is training). Also note that when you start/enter a thread with a clone, you must clarify it in the main RP part of your post. It doesn't mean other characters will know that though.

(5) No using OOC knowledge
"OOC" means "out of character", and OOC knowledge is pretty much everything there is in everybody's character, jutsu, weapon and summon profiles. The only thing you can know about someone you met for the first time is how they look, and even then they might be transformed so pay attention. If your characters are somehow related by background or you possess some special abilities, you may know more about another person's character. Also note, while it is fine to use the name of a character you never met before in narrative text, you can't use it in speech or thought until you learn it, since that would be using OOC knowledge. You also know nothing of someone's abilities until you fight them, and even then the knowledge of how to counter a certain jutsu doesn't come from seeing it for the first time. Stay true to your character's knowledge and intelligence when dealing with such matters.

(6) Do not assume
This refers to all the role playing rules existing on the forum. If you are unsure of a rule, ask. Just because something isn't forbidden doesn't mean it's allowed. If you assume something and it turns out to be wrong, you are the only one at fault.

Other RP Rules: http://narutorpcenter.com/about1115.html

Further rules:

(1) No Bleach Powers/Clan.

(2) You may not buy Auto-Ranks to S. But you can buy enough RTs to make it to S.

(3) No jutsu, SA, clans, combat styles, or weapons may be made that are involved in anything related to Time/Space.
