and i welcome you to detroit city
i said welcome to detroit city
detroit, michigan. one of the most dangerous cities in the country but home of some of the greatest musicians the nation has ever known, too. most prominently, detroit punk. and, at the center of that scene, is demon corpse records, the label that seems to be signing all of the hottest musicians, these days.
think you've got what it takes?

alright, so, i'm going to start off by saying that there are a few things that should be simple to understand and those are that there are some rules that happen on EVERY board out there. the respect, godmodding, etc. you break what i call the "no duh" rules and you're going to be in even more trouble than breaking the ones i actually have to list.
however, there are a few general rules that aren't common and don't fit with the registering or after joining. mostly, this is to include guests...``!okay, so we know that our board isn't all that impressive by the standards of some and that we don't do everything the same way that others do. if we don't impress you or don't have things set up the way you like it, we truly are sorry. however, we don't need you to tell us how the board should be done. we don't need to hear about how lame we are to have a face claim, to do of the month votes or anything else. we've had plenty of others tell us and not in the nicest of ways. for that reason, if you don't like our board, please just move along. there's one out there for you and we don't take it personally if you don't pick us.
what we DO take personally is being attacked. it's happened so often that we've had to take drastic measures. this means that, if you attack the board, we'll ban you. no questions asked. it's just to keep the board clean from being spammed with hate. you're allowed to have your opinions but ARGUING with the admins and DICTATING how the board should be run in an AGGRESSIVE manner is not allowed. we don't go to your site and chew you out for things, please don't do it here.
trust in the admins. we won't steer you wrong. registering ``!register with a FIRST, MIDDLE, and LAST name in LOWER CASE. if you've got a reason for not having a middle name [cultural or just because your parents didn't feel like giving you one] that's fine but you will need to explain that in the bio. russian names - register properly or don't even bother registering.
``!not so much a rule as a suggestion - if you're not done with your app but still want to post it, post it in code or the tags will screw up. ugly tags make for an ugly app which will keep you from getting accepted.
``!when registering, do so with an email you check, regularly. we'll send messages through email. you need to be able to get these emails.
``!we're not telling you that you HAVE to have a gender ratio but, if we see to many of one type of gender or too many musicians, we might cap them until we even things out. this place is, predominantly, RL so the music thing shouldn't overpower that feel. after joining ``!respect others. yeah, this should be a no duh but, when i say respect, i mean it. don't push people into posting, don't discriminate, don't harass, don't... just don't. if you break this one, it's worth a banning so, yeah, i'm including it in the list.
``!we're an r+ board. anything goes but try not to post smut all the time and warn people. we're not telling you that you have to be a certain age in order to join but we'd like a warning about the threads so that our younger or more... 'pure' members don't have to see the darker side to life.
``!let's not go too crazy, here. no BORING people and no OVERLY done, either. don't make them perfect, don't make them so shy that they won't bother with people on the board, don't make them freaking geniuses who can find a cure for cancer or victims of abuse that would have animals committing suicide from the depression you've put your character in. it's a real life board, let's make them SOMEWHAT normal.
``!come to usssss! if you need anything, we're not a monsters, promise. we only bite if you want us to. if you need to talk about something, shoot one of us a PM and we'll work things out. anything, we don't mind.
``!when posting, try to do your best. give us something to reply to. no one liners, puleeze! even one paragraph would be pushing it.
``!graphics are a must. no graphics = no go. even if it's not a picture of your person's face, they still need a picture of something. signatures can be no bigger than 600x300, this includes text. if it's too big, we'll ask you to change it. if you don't, we'll change it. in the application, tell us what genre of music you like when it asks about the rules.
``!going with that, we, here, love our faces. we PREFER that you have one. doesn't have to be a celebrity but someone with decent shots. if you can't deal with this, it might be best to find another home as many of our members consider this a must have. we're not saying don't join because that's just stupid, just saying that it's preferred and that we know that some people will be less inclined to play without a visual representation of the person you create.
``!just like keeping an eye on your email inbox, keep one on the OOC forums, too. we do A LOT of messaging to the community there. if you miss something, you fail. as it's in the rules, you now have been warned. depending on how we feel, you might get a third strike but we're not promising anything.
``!character deaths and pregnancies MUST be run by at least TWO of the admins before you can do it.
``!the away forum is your friend. if you're gone for more than a week without notice and the activity check rolls around and you say you're active, you will still lose that account. is it really that hard to go "hey guys, busy, can't post. be back [insert estimated time, here]?" really, it's not.
``!um... if we tell you to have fun, does that make you not like it since it's a rule? edited by nadja
