Welcome to the Cirrus Role Playing Forum, where users can take part in literate original and series-based role playing.
Cirrus is a literate guild, so role playing should be no different than other posts.
Our rules for this forum are the same as the rules posted in the Barton Town: Rules & Guidelines topic, with the exception of the rule excluding series-based role playing, which is fine in this forum as long as it follows the rules.
To quote directly from the official BT post, here are the posting rules:
No Cybering
The explicit roleplay of sexual encounters is strictly forbidden. The posting of explicit and graphic content, in written or visual forms, is a violation of the Terms of Service.
No Explicit Roleplay Encouragement
Users often post rules regarding inappropriate content within their own roleplays. Using ratings like "PG-13" is fine, but directing users to "take cybering to PMs", or using ratings such as "Rated R" which clearly indicate adult themes, is not permitted. In all cases, the Gaia Terms of Service and forum rules override individual roleplay rules.
No Abusive Comments
This includes abusive comments to other users, flaming, trolling, harassment and stalking. You are allowed to swear on Gaia, but you are not allowed to insult other users, go into their thread without permission and start trouble, or refuse to leave after the creator has asked you to.
No Advertising
Advertising in this forum is not allowed; you may not create a new thread with the intention of advertising, or post in existing threads purely to advertise your own content.
No Hate Based Roleplays
Hate roleplays that are negatively directed towards a Gaia user, race, ethnicity or sexual orientation are not allowed on Gaia. These roleplays that are found will be removed and the owner punished.
No "Copycat" roleplays
Just like art theft is not allowed, copying another person's work for a roleplay is also not permitted as it infringes copyright. If you want to use another person's writing for your roleplay, word for word or only slightly changed, you must get permission and credit them or else you will face the same serious consequences that art theft does on Gaia Online.

The Cirrus crew will take these rules very seriously, both here and in other forums, so please make sure to abide by the rules.
