1 ⋆★ - Respect your modmins and fellow members.
If the staff or a member ask for a topic change, you must change it. Remember that staff word is final.
Additionally, do not encourage violence or harm to real people or animals, even as a joke.
2 ⋆★ - No discriminatory terms.
Any case of discrimination will lead to an unconditional ban.
3 ⋆★ - Consider our age demographic.
Swearing and graphic content are present. TWs for mild or cartoon gore is not necessary, however please spoiler and add a content warning for detailed or graphic gore, including in roleplay posts. You and your characters may swear but slurs and 'autistic screeching' (going reeee!) are bannable.
4 ⋆★ - Absolutely no art theft or design theft.
Your character must be yours. You cannot take a random drawing of a Warrior character or OC off of Google and declare it your TSL cat, this is still theft, even if you 'give credit'. If we catch you tracing other people's art, you will be banned.
5 ⋆★ - NSFW CONTENT OF ANY KIND IS NOT PERMITTED.
Innuendos, sexual jokes, and inappropriate phrases are included in this. Other topics banned in TSL include (highlight to see them): politics, periods/menstruation, abortion, 'All Lives Matter', Warriors Amino, and fear mongering about COVID or its vaccines
Please be aware that if you are asked to change the topic, refusing to do so may result in a ban or a mute.

- - do not interrupt staff when we are welcoming a newcomer, we welcome newcomers in ╔═⪢🦕public-chat-old because 'welcome channels' can be extremely alienating and uncomfortable! Please don't be weird or behave strangely towards users without the 'Members' role as you are seriously negatively impacting our user retention and it makes the server feel awkward and uncomfortable.
- - don't attempt to minimod and don't answer questions in ╔═⪢🌲questions under any circumstance, even if you think you absolutely know the right answer, there's a chance you could confuse the person and devalue the work of the staff!

1 ⋆★ - No Godmodding and autohitting-
Unless your rank is higher than the rank you're fighting! TSL has a hierarchy-based fighting system, so chances are, if your Sentry attacks a Seer, they're going to get beat up!
2 ⋆★ - 40-50 words minimum per post. Posts must be logged with word count per character.
Punctuation and grammar are literacy; length has nothing to do with your literacy! Quality over quantity!
3 ⋆★ - No drama without consent from the admins.
No ridiculously dramatic deaths, no random animal attacks, no sudden floods, and no kits escaping camp every twelve hours. The Overseer most likely will know if your cat commits murder and will tell their Seer! Open a ticket if you want to find loopholes so you can have your own exciting personal plot for your cat!
4 ⋆★ - You can roleplay in multiple places at once with the same character!
Just say the roleplays occurred on different days, that's all. TSL is based on real time, so there's plenty of room for you to have multiple roleplays going on at once with the same character, just don't say it all happened at once!
5 ⋆★ - THIS IS NOT A WARRIORS ROLEPLAY.
The only things we share with Warriors are clan names and the prefix-suffix naming system (this is a common fantasy trope, and does not belong to them either way). These cats know what cars are, they know what a month is, they know what the seasons are called. Please keep in mind while roleplaying that they don't use words like 'dirtplace' or 'mousebrain'.
To refer to both sentries and coursers, don't use 'warrior' or 'warriors', please use alternative terms such as 'provider' or 'providers'.
6 ⋆★ - Roleplay thread restrictions.
You can only have 10 roleplays ongoing altogether between The Sacred Light and The Sacred Light: Extended Roleplay.
You can only have 5 roleplays ongoing in The Sacred Light: Beyond.
You can only have 2 roleplays ongoing for one character at a time.
This means between the 3 currently active TSL servers, you can only have 15 roleplays ongoing altogether.
This is to pretend oversaturation of too many characters of one specific member in all the roleplay channels and is also to allow the locked channels in the Extended Roleplay server to be more available.
A roleplay cannot take place more or less than 3 days in the future or 3 days in the past due to the spontaneous nature of events.
7 ⋆★ - Roleplay response times.
In The Sacred Light: Extended Roleplay, you have 14 days to respond to a roleplay before your thread is closed. You cannot reopen a thread after this 14 day period! A thread cannot be ongoing for more than two months as it'll get lost in canon time and end up invalid.
