Respect
Here on Farewell Future, we expect nothing but the utmost respect for the staff and fellow members. We don't expect everyone to get along swimmingly no matter how much we actually do want that. We do expect that as a member you will do your best to get along with everyone and not discriminate against the people you may not like. We would like to keep the environment as friendly as it can be and that means taking any problems you may have with someone off site. If you a situation does arise on site then please contact the staff and we will see to it that it gets taken care of in the cleanest way possible.TOS Content
Farewell Future is hosted by Proboards, which means that we have to respect their Terms of Service. The site is rated PG-13 so we have to limit the violence, romance, alcohol/drug use, and cursing. We ask that you simply keep any and all of them from being too excessive and remain tasteful. If any content of the source makes someone question its excess then please contact the staff and we'll investigate it. None of us want to see the site shut down so please avoid running that risk.Mini Profiles & Signatures
This is placed into the rules to insure that people will read and understand what the size of everything is. The hover icon is 220x350 pixels and the regular avatar is 150x150 pixels. The regular avatar can be changed through the proboards avatar settings. The hover icon as well as the information that must be filled out for the mini profile can be found in the personal section when editing your profile. This must be filled out in accordance of that character's application and the age in particular has to be in number form; IE: 12, and not word otherwise it won't look right. On to another thing to be noted, the signatures should not be any bigger than 500x200 pixels. If they are found to be any bigger than this then you will be asked to make it smaller but if you ignore this then we will have to take it down ourselves and give you a warning. There should be no advertising done in your signature nor anything pornographic as it will be breaking the TOS. Any images should be from anime/manga or a video game because that is what this site uses as faceclaims and should be of your character strictly.Advertisements
Advertising on Farewell Future has its own destined section and it is plenty easy to find. If you want to advertise with us then use the Advertisement board in the out of character section. Don't send PMs to members trying to get them to join another site or advertise it. Sending out these kinds of PMs will get you a permanent ban with no questions asked. Please contact staff if any member has done this and we will handle it.Literacy
This isn't that big of a rule here but it is still to be followed since we are a literate roleplay. We don't ask much out of our members when it comes to this since we know some people don't know English as their first language or are dyslexic. There is really no excuse to have words spelled correctly, however, as we have a plugin that is meant to help you with that. We just ask that members post to the best of their abilities. Don't be afraid to tell staff of any situations that might apply to you.Posts
There is no current minimum posting limit on Farewell Future and one shouldn't have to be placed either. We just ask that members post at least a paragraph and give their fellow threaders something to go on. Keep your partner in mind when posting because receiving only a paragraph back when you posted 500 or more words can be upsetting. That doesn't mean you have to match your partner only that if you don't have fluff at least make it easy to respond to with all due respect. We also ask not so much as a rule but as to keep confusion from arising that a posting order be kept in threads. It just keeps things organized that way.Patience
The first thing that we would like to put out there is that everyone on Farewell Future does have a life. Not all of us have the time to be on here 24/7 because we have school, work, or just real life problems to deal with. Most of us probably roleplay to escape real life so logging on and being nagged is that last thing we want to deal with. We ask that no member sit around and nag the staff to do their job or for another member to post. After waiting for a period of 3 days for staff to look at your application then and only then are you allowed to send a pm to remind only one of them. Don't bother us in the cbox to look at your profile because that might just keep the staff from looking at it right away. It may not seem professional but if you wouldn't want to be bugged about doing something then why do you think others would. This also includes nagging members to post for you. There is a 2 day grace period before you are allowed to send them one friendly reminder via pm. Allow them a 24 hour period to respond to said pm before skipping them in a thread. If it is brought to staff's attention that someone has spammed PMs to post or were not very friendly about reminding another member then you'll receive a warning. God-modding
This as well as meta gaming and power playing will not be permitted on Farewell Future. If you aren't sure what any of these are then brush up on your roleplay knowledge with Google. Most people have been roleplaying within this community for years and should know what these words mean by now. We do not intend to coddle any members and thus it is your job to learn what they mean on your time. If any member is caught doing any one of these things then they will receive a warning at first and should it be brought to staff's attention a second time it will result in a week ban. However, if a member still hasn't learned their lesson after this then they will be banned permanently no questions asked.Characters
We do not have a character limit in place here on Farewell Future. We allow our members to play as many characters as they can manage and keep active. They must all have their own individual accounts, however, to keep things organized. The account name should be that of the characters name in all caps, for example, TSUNAYOSHI SAWADA. If one finds themselves overwhelmed with all their characters they have the option of adopting it out to another willing member if they so please to do so. If not then tell the staff that you want to retire a character or more and we will put it in its proper resting place. Family Relations
Farewell Future is a post-canon Katekyou Hitman Reborn roleplay and as such your character, depending on their age, can be a descendant to a canon character from said series. This, however, has its own limits as there is a limit to how many people can be related to a canon. In example, there shouldn't be ten characters claiming to be related to Tsunayoshi even if five of them are grandchildren, three are children, and two are cousins. That is kind of unreasonable. Such limits are not in place currently but that is subject to change in the future if need be. If slots fill up too fast then they will be locked out and slots may be added in the future too.Famiglias
We allow members to create their own Famiglias or mafia families if they don't want to be in one of the canon famiglias. There are limitations on creating them so that we don't get an overflow. We would still like canon famiglias to be filled up because they will be important for plot but that doesn't mean we won't include the non-canon families. A member is allowed to post up their famiglia when and only when the boss character is completed and approved. Before you can start recruiting members for your family it will need to be approved by staff. This is to make sure everything is completed and not breaking the rules of some sort as well as lets us learn about the other families and help include them in the plots. We also organize characters by organization such as families. This is where the other category comes into play for the most part. All member created famiglias will be sorted into the other category until they have half of their guardians filled and at least one thread completed to prove that they will be active. This won't get your member group automatically created as you will need to provide staff with a member group color. We will not make a member group for a famiglia that only has one member waiting.These rules are subject to change in the future in any way that the staff may seem fit.
