This is organized into a few sections. First, general rules to abide by, then specific details on each section.

Code Of Conduct

• Staff are not to engage in, nor tolerate, arguing, flame wars and verbal abuse.
  
• Staff are not to argue with other members of staff in the chatbox.
  
• Staff are not to discuss anything that occurs within the staff section. Rule of thumb: If something is not publicly posted by an administrator, it is considered classified.
  
• Staff are to be as kind and courteous as possible; especially with new members. If off-duty or pre-occupied, refer these individuals to someone who can assist them.
  
• Staff are to give a verbal warning before kicking/tempbanning
  
• Staff are to report all temp/permabans in this thread (coming soon) WITH CHAT LOGS
  
• Once a disrupt has been logged and dealt with, staff are to clear the chatbox.
  
• When clearing, staff must give a warning first, unless something obscene has been posted such as racial abuse or pornographic images.
  

Character Section

When moderating the Character section, please keep your posts as uniform and to the point as possible. If someone has an issue with a particular section [such as special characteristics] provide a link to the guideline for that section and give a rough explanation. If someone is generally struggling, give them the FAQ link. Use a word counter to check word count requirements, and give them the exact word count they're off by. For example, 54/100. Do not overlook the RP sample; it's not there for show. People forget to judge the RP sample far too often. For Uchiha applications: The rule of thumb is, it must be at least of as high a quality as Uchiha Tatsumaru.

If a character is flawless, do not post "Approved" instead, paste this code:

Clan Section

When moderating the clan section, ensure that their clan, first of all, does not do something an existing clan already does. For example, a blood manipulation clan when one already exists. Next, ensure what they are trying to achieve is not on the banned or restricted list. Ensure that their clan history is not completely ridiculous. For example "this clan occurred when Hinata and naruto fucked, and those kids fucked sasukes kids and then they got the rinnegan jesus eye cannon beam 5000" Ensure that their clan is logically consistent with how their abilities work, and that they are fleshed out in great detail. If a custom element is being apped, they must go into great detail about it's nature in relation to other elements, and how it reacts in different environments and the like. Finally, ensure the clan is properly balanced, with the drawbacks being in balance with the benefits so neither end outweighs the other. It's just as bad to approve a negative heavy clan as a positive heavy clan.
