These are the rules. Read carefully
Character Rules
1) Selecting your superstar and registration: Please when you register a account do it with the name of your superstar, not your name. Example if you choose The Rock, register with the name of The Rock.
2) You may not sign up as a dead or critically injured Superstar. Rule of thumb, if they cannot wrestle in real life, they cannot wrestle here. However some may be used as 'Guest Stars' to further story-lines upon Staff approval. Example of this: someone like Droz will not be allowed on the fed to wrestle, while someone like IE Steve Austin, would be. It depends on the level of injury.
3) You may initially sign up as 1 character. After proving yourself active on the board by showing at at least 4 matches you will be allowed to sign up for a 2nd. By that matter: if you cannot handle the possibility of being double booked between characters on shows, do not sign up more than one character. We don’t want to hear the 'It’s too much for me' excuse for no showing or requesting to be taken off of a card.
If you cannot remain active with your characters, staff will delete your inactive/unused characters without warning.
4) Stats/application: When you register, you need to post your application with your superstars stats. If you don’t do it after 48 hours your account will be deleted. You can find the full required sign up template in the sign up forum. Be sure to fill it in completely, contracts will not be reviewed until a sample is provided. This sample does not have to be massive, just a small showcase of what you can do.
5) You must have one character on each show rather than two on one. This is to make bookings easier for the GMs and prevent us from constantly having to work around members who have multiple characters on the same show.
6) You may not hand an account over to another player at any time, if you wish to drop your character and someone else pick them up you must go through the standard channels of dropping and picking up characters. By signing up for a new account and posting a contract along with the current player informing a General Manager they wish to drop that character.
*Failure to do so, could result in deletion of that character.*
8) Guest stars and Caws have a single 1 time change of your picture base, Should a base you want suddenly open or you feel the need for a change you may do so ONCE, after that one time switch any other switches will not be recognized.
9) And in an effort to keep interactions between Superstars and Diva's Guest Stars will be increasingly difficult to obtain. Your Guest Star must serve a solid purpose as part of a storyline and must be used in either Results or General RP'ing. Unused accounts will be deleted.
10) You MAY NOT 'reserve' a pic base for an unsigned up account. Even if your guest character appears in results. No used account. No pic base. Simple as that.
11) If your account goes inactive for more than 7 days WITHOUT REASON it will be deleted.
Signature Rules
1) 3 Signatures Total – Keep Signatures no wider than 550px
2) 4 Basic Code Music Bars - None Basic codes subject to further evaluation
3) No, Music Videos, Youtube, Dailymotion etc Videos
4) No extra Avatars in Sig Space
5) 1 Tickertape allowed as long as its basic code
*Failure to comply will result in your entire Signature area being deleted.*
Roleplaying Rules
We want you to try your best. If you are not an expert, don’t worry. We are here to help. So if you got a question or something about RP just ask us, and we will be happy to help you. And remember the more you participate and the better your RP's = The higher your chances are of getting better matches or even winning Titles!
1)Showing For Matches: As a new rule we have decided that should you not provide valid reason for not RP'ing for a match given to you, such as being on LOA, you will be given a warning. If you do not show up for a match 3 times in a row you will be deleted. Your first match on the fed will be a dark match. If you do not RP for your first ever match, you will be deleted immediately. Other deletions dependent on Manager's discretion.
By that token, people who constantly rp 1 out of every 3 matches and do nothing else by mosey around without putting in the most minimal effort towards having said character can also be deleted at Staff’s discretion.
2) RP Minimum: Roleplays should have a minimum of 10 lines to be accepted!
3) RP Maximum: Unless stated otherwise in your match thread. The maximum length your match RP may be is whatever you can fit into one singular post. That has a 60k character limit.
4) RP Limit: Both RAW & Smackdown will have an RP limit of 1 RP per person, unless stated otherwise. Always check your Match Boards for any variances and instructions as stated by your GM.
5) Post Editing: For CODING AND SPELLING ERRORS ONLY. If you miss-code your post please ask an Admin to preview your post before you edit (or screencap before editing, should a GM not be online at the time of your edit). Just so we can make sure you change nothing more than the coding error. Consult a GM before you do.
6) Keeping the Forum Clean: On this fed I truly believe in freedom of expression and creative license, this being the case I do not believe anything should be held back. If you have a story to tell and the story calls for the type of scene you would not normally find allowed on another fed, it will be allowed here. However there are a few rules. They must be stuck to or an offensive post will be deleted and struck off the record. The rules are thus:
In the handling of a delicate subject (such as horror/violence, religion, sex etc) the post must serve a PURPOSE and not be just gratuitous for the sake of it. Must be part of the story and a key plot point. If it’s just there for the hell of it, it'll be stricken off. When handling these subjects in any depth your post MUST CONTAIN A WARNING IN RED BOLD AT THE TOP OF IT - Including a brief description of what content is contained within. This gives the readers chance to avoid a certain subject if they choose. Try not to be completely over the top, every issue can be handled delicately and tactfully while maintaining its impact. I suggest strongly that if you cannot write a scene with sensitivity toward the subject, you do not attempt to do so. A badly written way too descriptive play by play account of one of the aforementioned subjects will ALSO be stricken off. If you must address one of these subjects... do so carefully, with reason, and stick a warning on it. I do not believe in holding writers back, but we must consider others too as this is a public forum. If YOU think it's too much, it probably is.
7) Rematch Clauses: These are not a God given right in an attempt to keep the Title scene fresh and not stagnate on two people simply passing the title back and forth. In certain situations you may be granted a rematch, but more often than not, you will not.
8) Defending Your Title: ONLY you can defend your title, be it singles, tag or otherwise. Being in a stable does not mean other stable members can defend it for you. You win it, you defend it. All titles must be defended at least once a month!
9) Should the previous player of your character had achieved Title status, or contendership. Upon them dropping that character, any championship or contendership status is lost. And the character is stripped. In Tag Team consideration the remaining partner may opt to give the other championship or contendership to whomever they see fit. You MAY NOT transfer a title you hold between your characters. This used to be allowed but from here on out will not be. If you hold a title and wish to drop the character, the title goes with it.
10) Movies/Bands etc. We began to restrict Wrestlers involved with bands/movies because literally everyone was becoming a Hollywood star. We will now only take on ones we think something can really come of, majority will be turned down. Please talk to your GM.
Results Rules
1) Attacks: You may only attack a superstar if you and the superstar planned it. If you attack someone without authorization you will be warned. If you do it 2 times you will be banned for 2 days and in the 3rd time you will be banned for 5 days and the staff talks about the situation. So please if you are planning to do it, pm the superstar first! NOTE: This also includes characters families, pets or properties! You may not attack a member of a characters family without first getting permission from the player. The family is a part of the character itself, and so this rule follows accordingly.
ADDITIONAL NOTE: The General Managers of a show have overriding power over what occurs upon it. We may from time to time slightly edit segments you send us to fit in with the flow of the show, and if we feel it will benefit a storyline, we may well have one character attack another, we will not be seeking that permission. But dont worry, we will only do it if we feel it absolutely serves the story.
2) Factions: To create a Faction (Stable) you need at least 3 members and no more than 5. NO EXCEPTIONS!
3) Cross Brand Feuds/Appearances: We want to limit these down as much as is humanly possible. If it isnt absolutely positively 100% necessary for your character to have something to do with someone from a different show, please dont. This cross brand feuding is very very difficult for the GM's to keep track of, things get booked badly and so on. In the interests of saving the GM's sanity we'd ask that you try not to cross brand feud. If you absolutely must, it must be approved first by BOTH GM's from BOTH SHOWS. With a plan of what you're doing.
Any segments you send the GM's will be reviewed first, and if your character shows up on the show they are not rostered to, WITHOUT HAVING SOUGHT APPROVAL FIRST.. the GM will NOT include that segment in the show. It will be thrown out.
4) Segments: Please try and keep your segments to the point. Remember this is supposed to be TELEVISION we're watching and thusly we're not necessarily privvy to the thoughts in a characters head. Actions between words are of course needed, but two paragraphs worth of inflection and back story between speeches is not, as we wouldn’t get this in reality watching RAW.
5) Screencaptures: Please try and allow at least 6 lines between caps to keep things from looking squashed and messy. Please make sure Screencaptures are genuine CAPTURES and not digitals or otherwise. Keep your captures to a 320px width. This is easy to do with Photobucket as you may customize your upload to options to upload everything at 320x240px.
6) For Results coding specifics such as GM/Interviewer/Announcer colors etc, please refer to the shows individual GM offices.
7) Pregnancy: We found at one point far too many female characters were being sidelined for 9 months as pregnant. We've put a restriction on this now, if you have an active Diva and wish to take time off you're welcome to take an LOA, however if you specifically want her to get pregnant please contact your GM. It will more than likely not be allowed I'm afraid, as we'd rather have that character active.
8) Management Structure: So as you know who's in charge of what, here it is.
Chairman of the Board of Directors: Triple H
Chief Executive Officer: Vince McMahon
Chief Operating Officer: Linda McMahon
Executive Vice President: Stephanie McMahon
Executive Vice President, Global Media: Shane McMahon
Majority Owner: Triple H - 51%
Minority Owner: Vince McMahon - 12%
Minority Owner: Linda McMahon - 12%
Minority Owner: Stephanie McMahon - 12%
Minority Owner: Shane McMahon - 12%
Minority Owner: Russell Maneya - 1%
Out of Character Rules
1) Advertisers: The advertising of sites, e-feds, etc is not allowed via PMs or in the Cbox. If we caught you advertising you will be deleted! We have a forum in the Advertising section to promote your site.
2) Please don’t SPAM: If you think that for being the top poster you are the best or will help you getting matches or titles, you are wrong. So please don’t do it. Spaming consequences = 1st time: warning, 2nd time: 1 day ban, 3rd time: 3 days ban and the staff talk about the situation. Post counts are turned off in all but the RP'ing forums.
3) Vacations/ Injured/ etc: If you are going to be out for some time. Please post in the Headquarters forum before you leave and you will be put on the vacation/injured list. If you don’t do it and you are out for more than a week your account will be deleted. The LOA Limit is 1 month, should it be a special circumstance such as a move, please contact a staff member and discuss it accordingly.
Please make sure you ACTUALLY post an LOA though. Dont just tell someone, or announce it in the cbox, or PM an admin. Make sure you POST in HQ. Only way your LOA will be valid. And identify who the LOA is for, Just putting your name, or the name of the person your posting for it is not good enough.
We have between 150-200 members, we do not know every member by name and all the characters they play, so please post the names of your character.
4) If you are on LOA, have posted a thread about it, but get put into a match. Dont RP.. simple as. Dont RP and dont count the loss on your record. Ignore it. So long as your account is on LOA, you won’t be getting deleted haha. So just relax, no harm, no foul.
FORUM RULES: IMPORTANT
Due to misunderstandings etc I have decided to put what should be common sense into writing. Here are the WWE E-Fed Forum Rules... or as I like to call it, code of courtesy.
1. The General Managers and staff are here for the same reasons you all are, to have fun. The difference is they spend a considerable amount of their personal time invested in the inner workings of this fed. General Managers and Staff work ten times harder on here than any of you, and its to make it fun. This being the case, we ask that you treat staff and General Managers with the respect they deserve. They are not here to be your personal bitching posts. Abusive language and excessive complaining directed toward GM's will no longer be tolerated, this is meant to be fun for them to. You will receive one warning, beyond that it is up to the individual GM/Staff member what is to be done. If they feel you should be banned, they will ban you WITHOUT WARNING.
2. If you feel you have been unfairly treated with regards to matches/results etc, the GM's and Staff are here to help and will be happy to listen to you and take it into account. HOWEVER, shouting, screaming and demanding things from them will not be tolerated. It is at the individual GM's discretion to warn, suspend or ban for this behavior.
3. Match decisions are final, you are free to inquire why you lost of course, but the decision is final.
4. Treat others as you would wish to be treated yourself. It's all well and good to joke around but if that person thinks the joke is too far they should ask for it to stop and I'd ask those responsible to respect that. If you do not, you will be banned indefinitely.
5. We ask that you treat every forum member here equally at all times, uncalled for nastiness will not be tolerated. Above all we ask that you treat the ladies of this fed with due respect. Harassing them in the SB or the Forums will lead to an immediate suspension.
6. This is meant to be a fun place for all and the above 'policies' have stood since the fed began, the fed still stands because of them. But it is time they were put into writing so that there is no mistaking the outcomes of nasty, spiteful behavior. So have fun! Play nice
