General Rules
No Flaming [Click Here for Definition]Flaming (hostility, being intentionally offensive or insulting) is not tolerated and will be punished. Remember to keep calm and think before you type.
No Godmodding [Click Here for Definition]Godmodding while RPing here is not allowed. If the staff don't catch it when you do it, the members surely will. We want to keep the RP as fair as possible. Just remember that your character isn't indestructible and can't do whatever he/she/it wants. No Metagaming[Click Here for Definition]Metagaming is when you use out-of-character knowledge that your character wouldn't rightfully know while RPing. This isn't allowed and will be caught. Remember, we want to keep things as fair as possible. [/blockquote] Nothing Explicit[Click Here for Definition]Explicit material (sexual RPing, inappropriate images or links, etc.) is not allowed, not even in PM, according to the new Proboards TOS, stated Here. [/blockquote] No Spam[Click Here for Definition]Spamming is not tolerated. If you wish to advertise your own forum or website, please do so in The Affiliates Board, and only once. Do not PM members with links to your site or other spam, and do not post them in the cbox. [/blockquote] Don't Ask Clause[No Definition Needed]Unless we're opening up staff applications publicly and say so, please do not ask to be a staff member. Also, please do not ask for your profile, addition, jutsu, equipment, or other registration to be looked over. The staff will get to them when they have time. [/blockquote] No Killing[No Definition Needed]In an effort to facilitate a more enjoyable roleplaying experience as well as stay true to the Naruto universe, we are outlawing the senseless killing of another person's character. Ninja are officials of their nation and village's military and to attack another village's ninja unprovoked is an act of war. Furthermore, it robs another unsuspecting member of their character for no good reason. If you wish to kill or maim another's character you must ask their permission beforehand. Furthermore, if you decide to attack another character unprovoked, the other character reserves the right to make a Death Request for your character provided they can adequately do so through roleplaying.

Character Rules
Japanese-Style Names [For Boys & Girls]Because the Naruto-verse is set in a Japanese-like setting, character names must be Japanese, or at least sound it. Chinese is also acceptable. We wouldn't see any Bob's, Joe's or Mary's walking around in the canon.
No Character, No RP [Apply Here]If you don't have a character that's been approved, you cannot RP In-Character. However, RPing in the What If board is acceptable, since it's Out Of Continuity for the rest of the forum. RPingThreads generally come with labels, if unlabled or unmentioned in the creation post they are generally open for anyone in that area to join. Any thread labeled [Private] or [Invite Only] or other things to that like require you to contact the creator of the thread inorder to join. A thread labeled [Open] or that like is available for anyone to join. [/blockquote] Missing-Nin Ranks[Click for Definition]Nukenin ranks are decided through In-Character actions, so please don't self-rank your new missing nin. [/blockquote] Unique Canon Jutsu[Refer to Naruto Wiki]Jutsu unique to any canon cannot be applied for. [/blockquote] No Demons[Click for Definition]Custom and lesser demons are no longer accepted. Only open bijū may be applied for, and will be upon discretion of the staff. [/blockquote] Custom-Canon History[No Canons]Custom characters cannot have any interaction with Canon characters in their history. This includes (but is not limited to) Relatives, Significant Others, and Children. [/blockquote] Canon Situation[No Canons]Being as this is mostly AU (Alternate Universe) there are no canons here, so please do not apply for one. That being said, please do not rip jutsu, kekkei genkai, etc., belonging to a specific canon. [/blockquote] Multiple Characters[Make a List]You may have as many custom characters as you like, and you may use one account for them all or several. However, please provide a character list to keep track of them. You may not use any character to aide any of your other characters (IE., sharing information, jutsu or equipment, helping in battle, etc.). [/blockquote] [/blockquote][/blockquote][/justify]

3 Content Restrictions. In accordance with the Terms of Service, there are multiple restrictions on the allowable content on a Message Board provided by Proboards. While these restrictions are listed, they are not expounded upon, and so we of Konaha shall take some liberty in establishing extents.
4 User's content must comply in a manner consistent with any and all applicable laws of the State of California and the US Federal Government. The constitution of the State of California can be found here. Additional information concerning California's legalities can be found here.

5 User's web site may not contain content promoting the use of illegal drugs, alcohol, sex, pornography, nudity, or any other form of adult content, profanity, hate, "spam," fraud, racism, multi-level marketing, pyramid schemes, or promote any illegal activity. Due to the nature of this site, as well as the content seen on other sites, and the liberty taken with the depth of the rules, Konaha operates on a PG-13 rating. There are to be no excessive instances of any of the above. In the case of drugs, alcohol, adult content in the form of violence, profanity, hate, fraud, racism, and illegal activity, content should be kept to a minimum.
