The CBox is the nifty little chat area at the bottom of the page where we all can talk.
However, a few small guidelines need to be clarified.
First, I don't particularly mind if you RP in character in the CBox, however, other people might. Things can get taken the wrong way, and HUGE blow ups can occur. To keep that from happening, I'd like to keep the IC RP in the CBox to a bare minimum. If someone doesn't seem to understand that you are playing in character, or if you have offended someone, IMMEDIATELY CEASE the IC play.
Use the forum to RP, not the CBox. Sure, it's fun to say a line, or play around in character in the CBox, and I am the last one to rain on someone's fun parade. But, we have to keep in mind, first and foremost that this is a public forum, EVERYTHING you put in the Cbox can be read by ANYONE at ANYTIME. So essentially, I am asking you to stay OOC in the CBox, for the sake of the forum.
If a staff member has asked you to cut out the IC RP in the Cbox, LISTEN TO THEM! Surely if I were the one saying, "Hey, knock it off, you're upsetting Joe Bob.", you guys would cease immediately. Do the same for my staff. They aren't being assholes or picking on you, they're trying to keep things cool forum wide. Respect what they ask of you or tell you to do, as if it came from my own mouth. If a staffer has made a decision or a move, SUPPORT them! Unless I come and say something different, everyone needs to respect what the staffers tell you. This goes for the whole board, not just the Cbox as well. Any questions, come to me.
For Staffers, when to step in, can be a tough decision. If someone is getting upset or defensive because of in char play in the Cbox, say something in the Cbox, nicely, asking the members to stop the in char play. If they do not stop, then we will take more measures to insure the comfort level for our members. But please, don't hesitate to nip a problem in the bud. If something occurs that I am not in agreement with, I will address that, next time I sign on. If things escalate, and a Mag threatens to close the Cbox because of it, that is acceptible. I would probably do the same thing. If they can't play nice, I'll take away all the toys. LoL.
Thanks guys!
