This should be pretty obvious. Racist, sexist, homophobic and transphobic language is not allowed in OOC posts or chats, and should be warned for in IC ones. If there are problems, Contact this account. There's also an anon-enabled, screened post.
Content warn and community-lock for relevant subjects.
Logs and radio posts dealing with sexual, domestic and/or child abuse should be put behind a cut with a content warning, community-locked and must be handled tastefully. As the MEverse is modeled after pulp adventure novels, plain vanilla violence does not need to be content warned for. Logs with explicit sexual activity should be community locked.
Cut posts that are over three paragraphs.
This is to save people's friendslists.
Tag your entries with the following:
-character's canon: character's name (IE homestuck: gamzee makara) (for original characters put original: [character's name]). This is optional for OOC posts.
-whether the post is open or closed
-what kind of post it is, IE ooc, log, radio, or other (the last being for things that aren't covered by anything else, such as letter exchanges)
-content warnings, if any (IE content warning: domestic abuse)
Feel free to modify the world to suit your post.
As it says in the world info, if you wanna modify things or jump around on the timeline, feel free to. Just note it in OOC brackets somewhere on the post. The existence of cities we haven't mentioned is taken as given and doesn't need to be noted OOCly. Feel free to make up cities.
Multiple versions of characters are allowed.
However ICly acknowledging the existence of duplicates is discouraged unless the character is a mass produced clone or something like that. This goes hand in hand with the rule above.
Use whatever tense and prose format you want.
Third person prose? First person? Second person? Past tense? Present tense? Brackets? IC chats? It's all good.

Your character is not all-powerful. If they have genetic or Stalker abilities, they should have drawbacks to balance them out. This is especially true for OCs.
