These rules are in place so that all members will feel safe and comfortable. They are guidelines for behavior. If you do not understand a rule, we encourage you to ask questions!
You will not be harshly reprimanded for breaking a rule if it is clear you did so out of misunderstanding, rather than willful maliciousness.

In-Character Rules
General Rules
You will not be harshly reprimanded for breaking a rule if it is clear you did so out of misunderstanding, rather than willful maliciousness.
.
In-Character Rules
- If your thread contains violence, descriptions of abuse, or other heavy content, mark it as mature.
- Please write all roleplay posts in third person, past tense, paragraph format.
- Please write at your best!
- Please do not give one-sentence replies.
- Do not write other people's characters as taking actions they have not.
- Cursing is allowed, but not in excess.
- Follow posting order, so that everyone gets a chance to post.
- Under no circumstances may you create a character that is a rapist.
- The Portal runs on "real time." One day out-of-character is one day in-character.
- The Portal utilizes liquid time. This means that you can date threads as far back into the past as you like. Threads dated into the future are not allowed.
General Rules
- Do not harass other members to reply to threads.
- Not really a rule, but there is a privacy option that lets you toggle whether your "gender" displays, so you don't need to have a gender marker that represents you.
- The Portal was designed with the comfort of minors in mind. Adults may participate as they wish, but remember that you are entering a space that will cater to minors, not adults.
- The Portal currently does not use the account per character system.
- Keep all discussions safe for work.
- Do not make fun of others for the kinds of characters they choose to make.
- Do not make derogatory comments about members or their characters because they are from an oppressed/marginalized group.
- Take the time to properly use everyones' proper name and pronouns. If someone prefers to be referred to by just their name, respect that person.
- The Portal is a safe space. If your behavior is offensive or harmful to other members, you will be asked to stop this behavior. Do not join if this will be a problem.
- To be crystal clear, the Portal does not tolerate racism, transmisogyny, misogyny, ableism or cissexism, or abuse apologism.
