Quick notice, BoBCats,
When it comes to new members, we see an influx bringing over their characters from other websites. Though this has been stated before, this point should be reiterated. In no way is it a rule break or will warrant a warning, but it something that concerns our website and many others in some way. We, as staff, would like to request something of you when considering this. As of recent, we have been considering copyright laws and what this could do with our rules, especially when there are many other roleplaying sites. Basically, we would like to ask for you to not mention any copyright specific groups that come from another website and replace these names with something else. For example, mentioning Warriors specific groups in a character history(i.e. Thunderclan) can cause trouble for the website and can skew the world’s view into being something it’s not. Instead we’d like to remain original.
Thanks,
Orion
