By reading these rules, you agree to abide by & adhere to them. You also agree that, upon joining and putting "I agree" in each of your cat forms, you understand and will not be offended or angered if you are banned or punished upon rule-breaking.

001. This site is literate-advanced. That means proper grammar and sentences that make sense. Maybe a well-developed vocabulary and sentence fluency? Those are good traits, too. Oh, and sentence variation would be nice. Just make sure it's understandable, yeah? Nothing else is really all that important. Of course, quality over quantity, but if you have good posts that are long too, hey, no one's complaining.
002. Under no circumstances are racism, powerplaying, godmodeling, mary-sues, gary-stus, prettypelts, flaming, sexism, one-liners, or any other type of behavior that is generally frowned upon to be practiced upon our site. You get one chance, and one chance only. Upon your second offense, you will be scolded. If you do something really crazy, we'll just smack an IP ban on you and leave it at that.
003. Stealing isn't tolerated in any way, shape, or form. Art is my least favorite kind of thievery. Someone else put effort and thought into whatever it is being stolen, and then someone comes along and just rips it off. Art thievery includes drawings, graphics, writing, and any form of creative expression. I will personally destroy you if i catch you stealing. You have been warned.
004. Since there aren't any one-liners, it's assumed that you'll attempt a paragraph each post. If you try, we won't yell at you, we promise. But, hey, if you can manage more, by all means, go for it.
005. Everybody likes chocolate. Be nice and active, and we'll give you some. It's basically pointless, but not everything needs a point to be good, yeah?

001. If you plan on having your cat have kits, that's cool, we just don't want to read about the early phases. That means everything on this site should be kept to a pg-13 level. If you want to get dirty, take it to PM, kay?
002. You're not allowed to play all of your queen's kits. Sorry. You can play two at the most - all the rest have to be put up for adoption. You can choose who you want to play your cats, though, but you can't force them - they have to accept.
003. Cats don't have like twenty kits to a litter, so don't even try it. We'll catch it, and we will frown. If your queen is having kits, PM a staff member. They'll determine the genders, pelt colors, and eye colors. This process'll be completely random and based on the parents, so don't complain if you don't get the combo you wanted. Whiners are beaten.
004. If you notice an obscenely large amount of queens in SilentClan at one time, please consider postponing your cat's pregnancy to a later date. If it gets to the point where we have more kits than we can apprentice, we'll start killing them off. You've been warned.

001. We currently don't have a character limit. Please play all of your characters evenly, or we might have to impose one.
002. Try and keep the gender ratio even in SilentClan. We don't want a sausage fest, nor do we want only queens. Also, as far as loners & rogues go, we'd really rather you just not have any outside of the plot.
003. The biography form is not editable, meaning you must use it in order for your cat to be accepted. It's just easier if we have a general idea where everything's supposed to be, and it makes it look nice and uniform.

001. Punishment is left up to the staff member. if you think the punishment is too severe for the offense, feel free to take your case to another staff member. Present it reasonably - whining will not be tolerated.
002. If you've been banned in any way, please don't try and join under another name, on another computer, with another email address, whatever. We'll find out, and we will frown.
