First, you must be at least 13 years old or older than that because that is part of the TOS proboards. We would like to make sure to not break the TOS.
Silentville is a role play site that has a rating of PG-13. This means that if there is anything that is vulgar or even in a rated R movie it can not be found in this site. If you role play sex in a thread please fade it out and fade it in. You will get three strikes if you keep role playing scenes or threads that are considered R. The last time you will be banned. This is not our rule but this is part of the TOS of Proboards.
Everyone on this site is created equal and should be treated with respect. This is for regular members and staff. We don't want anyone to feel like they are not treated with respect. So please do not create drama with one another and do not fight with anyone. We are not afraid of banning those that create drama.
This is a general role play rule so take a deep breath and hear it, no godmodding or powerplaying characters that are not yours. So we all know what it is however I will explain it. Godmodding is when you try to control everyone's characters along with yours. We do not tolerate this on this site.
Also, you will not be able to role play until your character is accepted. That is when a staff member approves your application, moves it into the correct board, and also when your account is changed to the member group. This is so we make sure that you are all scared away and ready for things to go correctly.
Finally, your activity on this site is important. We don't want you to think we need you to go crazy on the activity. We just wish that you do at least 3 posts a week in any board and at least one in character role play thread. We do perform activity checks to make sure all the accounts are up to date.

When you sign up on the site, your username can be whatever you want it to be, however, your display needs to be your character’s first middle and last name. Please do not put any symbols in the display name at all and please capitalize the name correctly. For example we want to see a name like this “Janelle Abigail Robertson”.
If you don’t attach a character aka have your character’s application finished or at least started in a time of two weeks after you sign up we will delete your account since we don’t want to have a lot of inactive accounts on the site.
On Silentville we have a rule that is one character per account. This means only one character can occupy each account. If you want more than one character then you will need to make more than one account. You can use your email more than once.

On this site you are allowed to have as many characters as you want. We don't feel like we should control how many characters a person wants to make. The only thing we ask is that you keep the characters active. Each character needs to have at least one post per week to be considered active. The only thing we ask is that before you make new characters make sure each other of your previous accounts/characters have at least 5 posts before creating a new.
Characters have to be at least 15 years old. We will not let characters be under 15. This is mostly to help keep the site a little more realistic. We want the majority of the population to be late teens and up. We will put bans when we feel a certain age is being too crowded.
The one thing we do not like is when there are perfect characters. We want every character to be as realistic as possible. Everyone has flaws, secrets, and characteristics that are different and unique to each person. So get creative and have fun creating the characters.
If you want to delete a character(s), the staff would love to be told. We want to make sure that we unclaim everything about that character so your character is I guess deleted while cutting all the red tape correctly.

The big thing we ask with the applications is that you please do not change or alter the coding in any way. This is because the application was designed a certain way and we want it to stay the way it is.
Your application needs to be filled out and ready to be reviewed in a total of seven days. This is enough time to get the application done and it’s the right amount of time to where you won’t lose your muse working on it. It is okay if your application is not accepted within seven days. If you are in the process of making changes than you don’t have to worry about being accepted in seven days.
During the reviewing or modification process, you the member should refrain from arguing with a staff member just because you don’t agree with their thoughts on the application. If they ask you to change something that you don’t agree with try to ask them why they think that way before you think they are just after you or something. The staff are staff members for a reason and they are here to help you and to make sure everything makes sense and is understandable.

Please post in Celebrity Face Claim thread claiming your character's celebrity play by. This is a first come first serve site, so if you don't post and someone takes your claim before you put it in here than the staff can't help you.
Accepted Characters and NPC characters are claimed automatically by just posting your claim in this board. Your character is accepted only when a staff member says so in your application and changes your character's member group to the correct group. The NPC Accounts are a bit different. Any NPC must be approve by the site staff. For more infomation about NPC accounts please Click here.
Reserving a celebrity face claim is allowed on this site. You will only have your claim reserved for a total of one week as in 7 days. When that reservation is over, you lose any claim on that face claim. Yes, this even applies to the staff members. We believe everyone is equal on this site and that is how we want it to stay.
All claims have to be of a celebrity of some sort, acting, fashion, musician, model, public figure, or athlete. We will not accept face claims to those that are from myspace, facebook, and devaintart. If we can't do a google search and find the celebrity, than more than likely we won't accept it. So for the not so known celebrities or face claims provide a link to a website or something to prove that they are in fact that.
If you need help finding a play by check out the Play-By Suggestion Thread. You may find someone that you didn't think of before in that thread.
*MAKE SURE YOUR PLAY BY IS OVER THE AGE OF 13 OTHERWISE WE WOULD BE BREAKING A LAW. In the US, any child under the age of 13, who's picture is used on the net is breaking the "Children's Online Privacy Act". For more information CLICK HERE.

On this site we would like to ask that each of the in character role playing posts are at least 350 words long. Some boards like the mini role play board are under the word count of less than 350 words. You also don't have any word counts on the communication board.
This is an intermediate to advance role play site so we do not accept no one liners and a post that has poor grammar. Please make sure you check the spelling by spell checks and rereading. This is to have fun and it’s not a race. We want quality over quantity. Also please refrain from text speak, we are aiming for proper English. Please try to keep your tense in the past and write in the third person. Yes these are all basic rules in the role play world but we thought we should bring them up.

The graphics on this site have restrictions this is because we don't want the board stretched and also some people don’t have high speed internet. So for the avatars the max side is 150x200. For the signature and other pictures please do not have pictures larger than 500(wide)x700(tall). The general rule is to make sure we don’t stretch the skin. For the pictures that you use, please make sure you don’t use any pictures where people are in underwear or naked. Please keep the pictures rated PG-13. This is so we don’t have anyone feeling awkward and uncomfortable on the site. If you break these rules the staff will remove your graphics and give you a notice about why the graphic was removed.
We are pretty loose on the type of plots that you can play out however we have a few things that are a little strict about. If you have any life threatening events or life threatening plots going on, you should present it to a staff member before you and your partner act it out. Those types of events are listed as the following: stabbing, gunshots, major deadly fights, car accidents, pregnancy, abortion, miscarriage, marriage, divorce, a death either murder, suicide, or natural reasons like old age or a terminal illness, or anything else that involves with these elements.
One other thing we are a bit iffy on is when a teenager and an adult are going to be in a relationship. We want to make sure we don’t have a lot of these relationships happen on the site as this in real life doesn’t really happen. So if you want to role play a relationship like this please come to the staff to make sure that everything is alright and okay to do.
