Welcome to The Warrior Legends. In our site, we have many things to do. Your journey is just about to begin. However, we have a few adventure rules you must follow during your travels.
1 - THIS SITE IS G-RATED. Anything NSFW should NOT be on the site.
2 - Respect everyone, don't reveal anything too personal about someone else without permission.
3 - We all play this game differently. Don't PM other people telling them they have to 'pay more' or 'do ___'. We all have different ways we can play this game, find YOUR way, not someone else's.
4 - Mini-modding is absolutely NOT allowed. We have staff, we don't need you thinking you can do their job better than them.
4a - As a follow up, we discourage the use of the term "mod" for thread helpers. Please keep "mod" as referral to our staff. I'm not saying you can't have them, just don't call them mods.
5 - No offsite links are to be posted in the Shoutbox without an active moderator's permission.
6 - No spam. This includes double posting, messages/posts with no meaning/use.
7 - You can add rules in your own threads but never override site/forum rules.
8 - If someone is/was banned, it is not your business UNLESS they choose to share it with you.
9 - All British laws apply.
10 - ART THEFT WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. PLEASE CREDIT YOUR ART.
11 - NO INAPPROPRIATE PROFILE PICTURES! Any personal info or inappropriate usage (E.G: F*** Hillary Clinton) will result in an immediate warning!
12 - Don't back chat a staff member! Anyone, honestly. I'm tired of having to sit through messages people send me because they broke a rule.
These rules are subject to change at any time. Last edit, 6th February 2018 by Onion.

Usamin, what do you mean by 'we have to credit our art'?
Simple, hun. If you didn't draw it, you get permission to use the art. Screenshot permission and put it where you credit your things (journal, signature, etc.). If you do not get permission to use it by the original artist, you can't use their art. It's that easy. If you did draw it, then of course, you have full permission to do what you want with it.
Official art from fandoms does not need to have proof of permission, just credit it somewhere saying 'official art from _____' But if you emailed Funimation or Disney and get screenshotted proof you can use their official images/gifs then we'll be impressed. But it's not needed.
Usamin, what is considered spam and what isn't?
Think about it for a second. Is, for example, getting 40 random PMs that all have over 1,000 'H's in them, nice to get? Posts that are meaningless, like, for example, "Dang! I missed it!" or "DUH U SUKK CHILI AND BEAN CURRY CHICKEN LEGS', easy to reply to? If you answered no, you're now a wizard on knowing what is spam and what isn't. Spam stands for Stupid Pointless Annoying Messages. Posting two consecutive times in a row is also considered spam (double posting). Sometimes, double posting is allowed, for instance, on your own personal journal.
Usamin, what does 'all British laws apply' mean?
This site is not a British one, but we believe that British laws are the easiest to follow. Art credited? Then you are good to go. Also since this is now an officially coined 'British' website, it's not 'gray', it's 'grey'. 'Favorite' becomes 'favourite'. 'Color' is now 'colour'. Get what I'm saying?
Failure to follow in these rules may result in warnings, or maybe bans (both temporary and permanate).
