Out of Character Rules

1. You must be 16 years or older before you join Ardent.

2. Multiple aliases are not allowed on Ardent. Please stick to one alias -- we will find out if you are using multiple aliases and have no tolerance for it. Doing so can result in temporary or permanent banning.

3. We have zero tolerance for rudeness. Please be courteous to fellow members and treat others as you would want to be treated. Please keep out-of-character disputes outside of in-character events and please refrain from having in-character events affect the way you treat other members. Members will be warned twice before being banned if they misbehave.

4. Concerning polls: whether it's voting for Character of the Month or voting on a site issue, multiple votes per person are not allowed. Every player is allowed one vote per poll, not every account.

5. We have zero tolerance for art theft, so make sure you have permission to use the images you choose to use. If we find that you are using someones art, you will be asked to take it down and not use it. If the art is not taken down we will delete it and warn you. If you see an art piece that you think is being used without permission, please tell a staff member and do not bring it up to the person in the c-box.

6. We allow you to have music on your profile, but it is not allowed to be an autoplay. Feel free to add a small youtube video to your characters profile but if the music plays on profile click we will have to get rid of music all together.

Posting Rules

1. All in-character posts must be at least 100 words.

2. Posting tables and signatures must not exceed 650 pixels in width. The avatars used on site are limited to 200 pixels in width and 300 pixels in height.

3. Do not, under any circumstance, make an out-of-character post in an in-character board. You can use the our on-site personal-messaging system or the chat box to get in contact with other members. This rule is in place to keep accurate post counts and our gem currency true to our players’ activity. However, small out-of-character notes are allowed to be included in an in-character post.

4. Do not double post. When making a post, please only post once. If you do, please post in maintenance so that a staff member can correct your post count and gems.

5. Please do not delete your IC posts. If you made a mistake and didn’t mean to post, please alert a staff member so that your post count and gems can be corrected. Please do not simply remove your post, saying “please delete.” There is a lot that goes on, staff will not always catch that unless they are alerted.

6. Please use the appropriate tags to mark your threads. Unmarked threads can be a bit ambiguous in terms of who is and who isn't supposed to be in the thread. We highly recommend you use thread descriptions to tag characters you expect to post, to avoid confusion.

marks an "all welcome" thread, signifying that anyone on the site can post there.

marks a thread as "private," and the thread owner can ask for your posts to be removed if the thread is not intended for you.

marks a thread as "pack only," meaning it is strictly for pack members.

is a "joining" thread and helps signify to an Alpha that a character is attempting to join, or discuss joining, their pack.

marks a thread as "mature" and viewer discretion is advised. This tag can be for violence, sexual content, language, or anything else you feel is mature.

signifies a fight or spar thread.

Notes in signatures stating that Character B may be in any of Character A's private threads are allowed, however this is to be reserved for characters with an immediate, compelling reason to be in all of Character A's threads, such as a mate, parent of a young character, a character's young children, slave/slaver, or bodyguard - this is not to be used to allow a character's friends and acquaintances into all of their private threads. There must be a genuine, provable reason for that character to be in Character A's private threads. If this privilege is being abused the signature may be removed by staff and the player given a warning. If you have concerns about who is allowed in someone's private threads please speak privately with a staff member.

Additional notes on Private threads: Alphas may enter any threads marked as Private that take place on packlands. Also, threads started by non pack members who make "Private" threads on packlands can be entered by anyone in the pack.
