Smallpaws Wiki:Server Policy

Activity Notice
 * To be a part of SP, you must be active! We roleplay every day of the week except Monday, so to keep up you should be able to join us during RP at least once or twice a week. If you cannot keep up that kind of pace for even just one character, then please consider leaving. Slots are limited, after all, and buildup of inactive users hogs up those player slots.
 * If you cannot be active with 4 OCs at once, don't worry! You will never be required to have multiple OCs or NPCs, so only create or adopt them if you feel you can handle it. There's no shame in admitting it when you bite off more than you can chew.
 * If you will be inactive for a week or more and you know it, please let System Council know ahead of time for how long! You don't even need to include why (although it would be appreciated), the notice alone will be enough to keep your spot until you return.
 * If you must go inactive and you have an important character (leader, deputy, medicine cat or plot-relevant), then you must also choose someone to fill in for you and play as your OC while you're away. Please also tell System Council who this is before you leave.

Joining & Invitations
 * Upon joining the server you will be sent to the #mountains-base channel. Please wait to receive verification (aka the  Verified  role) to gain access to the roleplay channels. Please brush up on the policies in the mean time.
 * Please do not join the server until you receive an acceptance message on your form.
 * Please do not invite others to the server directly. If you wish to invite someone, please direct them to where they can apply with a form, thank you!

Nicknames
 * Your nicknames may include the names of your OCs.
 * Some examples include:
 * name (oc 1/ oc 2/ oc 3)
 * oc 1/oc 2/oc 3


 * No swearing in nicknames please!

Roles
 * Please do not beg for a role within the server, this will definitely not get you said role.
 * If you are missing a role you should have, please politely contact someone with the System Council  role to assign it to you.

Channel Tags
 * To make it extra clear which policies apply to which channels, some &quot;tags&quot; have been added to the front of each channel's topic. Their meanings are listed below:
 * [OOR] : Channels tagged OOR are strictly Out Of Roleplay chatrooms. The General, Server and Chat Policies apply here. Please don't RP here, that's what [RP] is for!
 * [RP] : Channels tagged RP are strictly for roleplaying. The General, Server and Roleplay Policies apply here. Please don't chat OOR here, that's what [OOR] is for!
 * [INFO] : Channels tagged INFO are made to display specific information, such as territory maps and landmarks, allegiances, and the policies. Generally speaking, these channels are for reading and not posting.
 * [FOY] : A special tag marking the foyer of the server. The foyer is where all new members land when they first enter; until you're verified, you can only chat here and read a select few other channels.
 * [POL] : A special tag marking the policies. We have copies of them in the server as well as on this wiki for easy access if it's needed. Follow these at all times if you want to stay a member of SP.
