Rules and Regulations
Here at Dragonball Chronicles we strive to create a happy and friendly environment for everyone involved. We have a specific set of guidelines in place in order to try and keep the drama down to a minimum as well as make sure that everything is kept working smoothly. These rules have been grouped into several different categories to keep the confusion down and make them easy to search for and locate.
Failure to uphold to these rules will result in first a warning. If the individual breaking the rules continues to do so after this warning they will be hit with a 3 day site ban or 3 day chatbox ban (depending on the rule broken). If they still persist even still then a full and total IP ban will happen at which time that individual will no longer be allowed on Dragaonball Chronicles, ever. The only exception to this 'three strikes and you're out' policy is dealing with racism, gender-biased comments, or anything deemed absolutely inappropriate and hateful, in which case a full and complete IP ban will happen on the spot. Please note that failure to read these rules and make oneself knowledgeable about them is not an excuse when it comes to breaking them: we will not accept "But, I didn't know!" as a reason as to why someone broke a rule.
Please be aware that certain guides will have rules pertaining to those guides (such as Character, Ability, ect) which means you will have to check those guides for rules specific to them. So, let's get down to the rules then shall we?

- General Rules:
- Racism of any sort is not allowed. This also includes other generally hurtful comments towards another member.
- No spam posting. Do not repeatedly spam post just to get your post counter up. Anyone found doing this will have those posts deleted and be warned, for continued violations see the consequences above.
- Do not take something you find on this site and use it for yourself. This could include anything from guidelines, to the writings of others, to pictures, ect. You must ask for permission before you take anything, and if given permission you must give credit to the original creator.
- Keep nudity in pictures to a PG13 level. I know that this can be hard, especially for female anime pictures, and some exceptions to this rule can and will be made on a case by case basis, but for the most part keep the nudity to a low.
- NSFW tag. NSFW or "Not Safe for Work" is a great way of telling people that the content within a spoiler or something you're about to post is not generally for everyone to see. This could be because it contains foul language or nudity, sexual content, among other things. Please post anything deemed NSFW into a spoiler if you must post it at all!
- Gifs or images in Signatures must be kept at a reasonable size and cannot cause the site to stretch. Please keep them at about 550x550 or smaller.
- Racism of any sort is not allowed. This also includes other generally hurtful comments towards another member.
- Chatbox Rules:
- Racism of any sort is not allowed. This also includes other generally hurtful comments towards another member.
- Let's keep the swearing and cursing to a low. I know we all have slip ups but let's try and keep it out of the chatbox as much as possible.
- Five Minute Rule! This, simply, is to keep staff from feeling overwhelmed. You must wait five minutes after entering the chatbox before you can ask a staff member to mod or look at anything. You must also wait five minutes after a member of staff enters the chatbox before you can ask them anything.
- Spoiler links/images. Unless it's a Dragonball Chronicles site link it needs to be in a spoiler. Links can and do break the chatbox and therefore must be spoilered at all times.
- No Spam. Keep the spam messages to yourself. Do not advertise in the chatbox, do not repeatedly ask the same question over and over again, and do not repeat the same message over and over again. This also includes posting giant blocks of text that are nothing but a single word, ect.
- Respect everyone, and keep it friendly. If you have a dispute or disagreement with someone take it out of the chatbox and into PM's. If someone says something that bothers you then address it out of the chatbox. Do not start arguments in the chatbox, nor flame-wars. If you cannot handle a situation on your own then bring it to a member of staff along with proof and we will try and reach a solution that works for everyone.
- Racism of any sort is not allowed. This also includes other generally hurtful comments towards another member.
- Thread Rules:
- NO FILLER! Filler is anything from repeating things over and over again to make word-counts, to 'day dreaming' or 'reading' stuff ICly that you might (or might not) have written on another site that has absolutely nothing to do with what you're character is doing at that moment. Generally, anything added to a post to create massive amounts of 'fluff'.
- You can be in no more than 3 threads at a time.
- Only ONE of your threads are allowed to be marked as Private/No-Kill. All others will be considered Open/Kill-Enabled (even if you enter into a thread that someone else has started that is labeled as "No-Kill".) If you are already in a No-Kill thread that you haven't yet exited at that point in time then it is considered Kill-Enabled when it comes to your character. Exiting the previous No-Kill thread AFTER you've already posted in the new one will not change its status from Kill-Enabled to No-Kill: it will still be Kill-Enabled when it comes to your character.
- You cannot post in multiple locations. To post in another location you must first exit the location that you're in, travel there in a thread that is at least 300 words long, and then post in the other location which will automatically exit you out of threads you were previously in elsewhere.
- You cannot take items/abilities/knowledge into threads that you didn't have before that thread's start. This means that if you start out with w, x, and y abilities and train z later on after a thread has started just because you got it approved does not mean you can now use it in threads you've already entered into.
- You are allowed to be in one solo thread at a time, and each post must consist of at least 300 or more words.
- NO FILLER!
