Hey guys Here are some Frequently Asked Questions I've seen around. If you have more please put it into the replies and we'll try to answer your question ASAP.
Q: Are the Rules the Same as the old Forums?
A: Some of them are. Some of them aren't. Forum Rules please take a look at the rules and familiarize your self with them.
Q: Do I have to register to Post and interact with people?
A: Yes. You need to make an account in order to post on the Warriorcatsrpforum
Q: Is there a chatting or Personal Messaging Feature?
A: Yes there is! Up on the top bar there should be a tab that says Messages. Please be courteous to other members when PMing them! No hate or bullying will be tolerated. Please be aware that while there aren't language filters on the forum that you are aware that these forums are still for younger people as well as the older ones. Please don't use strong language when talking to someone unless you both agree upon it before hand. Communication is key to having a healthy relationship with your fellow Forumers! You can also message a person by clicking on their Screen Name and clicking on Send Message.
Q: Hey you said there are no language filters! Can I curse?
A: This is rule 6 under the forum rules: "Please no extreme cursing. This includes f-bombs, racial slurs, and anything to be considered objectively offensive." This is supposed to be an alternative to the WCF closing and all member are welcome to join. That means there will probably be the younger ones joining so please be aware of this when interacting with others. No excessive swearing and nothing directed at another forumer will be tolerated.
Q: When it comes to rps I expect you want people just to stick to Pg -13 correct?
A: Tomo answered this one: "To be entirely clear, you can do anything you want w/ romance in any capacity as long as it doesn't involve explicitly sexual actions on public threads (i.e: sex, ****, foreplay, ect.) but if you really want to have stuff like that in your RP, what you can do is private message the person you're rping those sexual actions w/ on private message (IF THEY'RE OKAY WITH THAT) and just post {RP temporarily moved to PM} while you're doing so.
But again. We're a cat forum w/ younger forumers, so do try to keep it age appropriate.
***Note: IF ANYONE DOES THIS TO SOMEONE THAT DOESN'T GIVE THEM PERMISSION, THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO REPORT."
Remember kids, Consent is important to every aspect of life
Q: Do I need Admin or Mod permission to change my personal info?
A: Thank Starclan you don't. All you need to do is go up to the top bar and click on the Profile tab. From there you can edit you profile. This ranges from your Avatar to your alert system to privacy settings, all are categorized under different tabs. Be sure to hit Save changes under each tab when you have altered your profile!
Q: Can I be a Mod/ How do I become a Mod??
A: Tomo has told me that they won't be adding Mods for a couple of days. They just want to get to forums up and running first and then they'll worry about that. Please don't bombard them with questions and stuff till then. I'll add more info on Mods and their creation when the information becomes available.
Q: The format on Mobile is so weird. Is there anything you can do to change the settings?
A: We are still looking into changing the settings but the best way to use mobile (not the app) is to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and press the Desktop button. This will change the format from the phone's default mobile format to the way you would see it if you were using your computer. It makes navigation easier for you.
Q: Woah wait! There's an App??
A: Yes there is! The app is called Tapatalk and from what I understand you can get it from both the Google Play store and the Apple Store. Unfortunately I personally don't know how to find the forums on the app but I will update this as information becomes available.
Q: Is there an easier way to avoid spoilers?
A: Yes there is! just a little something to help with the spoiler rule
if you wanna post something with spoilers you can use the code
[ spoiler ] (insert text) [ / spoiler ]
without the spaces.
