Every rule has a point "value". When you break a rule, your points go up. When you hit 75 points, you are banned for a week. When you hit 95 points, you are banned for a month. When you hit 100, you are banned permanently. These points "expire" over time, so if you behave yourself your point level will go down.
If you have questions about any of these rules, please do not hesitate to send a private message to me.
OOC Rules:
This Site Is PG-13
Posting content or links more mature than PG-13 is not allowed.
This rulebreak will earn you a 30% warning.
Be Polite
You can disagree without arguing. And if someone is rude to you, just report them. Do NOT fight back, as that will get you in as much trouble as they are in.
Being rude will earn you a 25% warning. Fighting will get you a 50% warning.
Do Not Argue With Staff
You may ask questions, and if you don't understand why you were punished you may ask for more information, but do it politely. Staffers are not allowed to abuse members, so there's no reason that members should be allowed to abuse staff.
Arguing with or being rude to staff will get you a 65% warning.
No Mini-Modding.
If you see someone breaking a rule, just hit the "report" button. Do not chastise them yourself.
This rulebreak will earn you a 15% warning.
You May Only Have One Account
If you are caught with a second account, it will be deleted, and all characters associated with that account will be killed off.
Roleplay Rules:
This Is A Realistic RP
Your foxes can't fly, aren't psychic, don't have supernatural senses, or access to any magic. They cannot build fires, cannot tie knots, and can't use weapons. They are foxes.
Being unrealistic will earn you a 5-40% penalty, based on how severe it is. Tying a knot is obviously a lot less severe than using a shotgun.
No Powerplaying, Godmoding, or Flooding.
Powerplaying is when you auto-hit another character. Instead of saying "Lucky bit Speckle's nose", you should say "Lucky tried to bite Speckle's nose", and leave it up to Speckles whether or not the bite hit its mark.
On the other hand, Godmoding is when you dodge every single attack. If you are in a fight, you are going to be hit. Dodging every single hit is as big a rulebreak as auto-hitting someone else.
Flooding is where you make multiple posts without giving the other player a chance to react.
These rulebreaks will earn you a 10% warning.
One Thread At A Time
You may only have your character in one thread at a time. If you want to join a different thread, have them leave their current thread first.
This rulebreak will earn you a 5% warning.
No Time-Skips
One month real-time equals one month in-game. (The only exception to this is pregnancies--in this game, all animals give birth 1 month after they breed)
Speed-aging your characters will earn you a 5% warning.
To Have A Litter Born, Go To The Genetics Center.
If you want your character to have babies, go to the Genetics Center and follow the directions, and staff will generate a litter of kits for you.
Sneaking a litter in under the radar will earn you a 15% warning.
Breeding Rules:

No Explicit Mating
If your characters breed, just "fade to black"
Writing critter-porn on the boards will get you a 60% warning.
No Impossible Hybrids
If they can't hybridize in real life, they cannot hybridize in this game. So no fox/dog hybrids. If you're not sure if something is possible, feel free to ask.
Pregnancies Last 1 Month:
To keep things simple, all pregnancies in the game last 1 month. Fox, cat, dog, coyote, all of them. So the babies will be born 1 month after the parents breed.
