BDB Absolute Rules
Category: Blogging

Recruitment:

We recruit members for the available roles within the series. Unfortunately we are not seeking original characters at this time as there are tons of pre-stated roles to fill. To qualify for BDB you would need to be able to write Para (one paragraph of four lines), multi para (minimum two paragraphs of four lines) and maximum novella. However we do not force novella style upon our members. We do not follow the books and only use them as a guideline. So you are free to portray your character as you wish. The only fixed aspects of the cannon roles are the mates, titles, positions in the family and names. Once you choose a face claim, that specific face claim will be reserved/allocated for YOUR character alone. In this way we stop the possibility of mirrors in the group.

BDB is NOT a ‘hook up’ group OR a ‘meat market’.  All characters will be presented with class and self-respect at all times. It doesn’t cost you a dime or an ounce of energy to be decent.

Activity:

We are aware of everyone having a life and being busy or driving other accounts. Yet … Try to be on more or less once a week. Post a new solo once a week. If you are not able too – let the admins know. Interaction and addition between members is compulsory. The secret to the success of any group is the activity of the members.

Inactivity:

If you have not logged into your group account within two weeks, you will receive a message querying your silence. If you have not responded by the third week, your character will be placed on HIATUS and then eventually the role will be re-opened. This is not baring on members who send us a message to let us know that you will be away for a while. Life happens and time cannot be controlled along with everyone living scattered across the globe in different time zones. We understand this. Though knowledge is always better than assumption.

Social Outreach:

We will have a discord set up for the group (if the majority seeks it). Respect yourself and other members at all times.

Brand:

All members are required to use “BDB Absolute as their last name”.

Drama:

None of this will be tolerated outside storylines. One warning – then you will be asked to leave. Respect the relationships within the group. DO NOT try to cause trouble between two writers who are mated or have a set connection. This is strictly forbidden.

Do not stir the shit pot!

We do not delegate whom may be added or written with, however, if you harbour a friend/group on your list who is prone to antagonizing behaviour or who is just flat out rude and disrespectful in causing drama? You will be asked as a last resort, by Wrath (Sole Patriarch of BDB), to remove the said person/group members.

Cyberbullying:

BDB will not allow any bullying toward any member in the group. If you are reported to the admins by another member for bullying – you will receive ONE warning to halt your advances. If to no avail, you will be banned from BDB.

God Modding:

This one should be known but we feel the need to stress the importance of this. No telling others how to play their characters or how to write or deciding when or where their character will meet its demise WITHOUT permission.

Disputes Among Members:

If an issue arises with another member in the group. Bring it to the attention of the admins. No attacking status updates or comments are allowed to be posted. If you are upset? Take a break, take a walk…do whatever instead of writing something you may regret later or which will cause a bigger problem within the group. If this does not succeed, the admins will sort the issue out as diplomatically as possible. Under no circumstance is the rest of the site to see that there is an issue.

Banning:

You may at the admins' discretion receive a warning. If you continue to cause issues you will be banned without warning. If you are found to be posting plagiarized content/writing or are taking part in any form of paedophilia or are antagonizing in any way you will also be banned.

Affiliates:

BDB is affiliated to KOV = Kingdom Of Valefor, ONLY. BDB will NOT be adding to their affiliates and are not allied to any other groups.

Admins:

No disrespecting of admins. They will respect you, so you will respect them. There will be no leniency offered in this offense.
