Disclaimer: When registering an account on our forum, please be aware of our rules. Breaking any of these rules will result in a warning and possible ban.

Note: These are what is expected of you at all times and your behavior, failure to follow these rules will result in strict punishment.

• Respect other members: Just because you don't agree with someone's opinion or theory doesn't mean you need to be rude. In order to earn respect you must give respect.
  
  
• Respect all staff and their decisions: Whatever a staff member says is final. Do not argue with their judgment. If you believe a staff member is wrong, then please contact a higher member of the staff with your concerns.
  
  
• Avoid double posting: Double posting is counted as spam on the site and is not tolerated. If you forget to say something in a post just edit it in.
  
  
• Watch your language: We here at TLKDH believe that the occasional swearing shouldn't be frowned upon, but is discouraged due to this site being PG. Vulgar and intense curse words should not be used; a warning will be offered before further, harsher punishments are given.
  
  
• Location counts: Before you post a topic please make sure that you double check where you are posting. If a thread is not posted where you would like it to be posted please contact a staff member to move it to the appropriate spot.
  
  
• One account per character: Here on TLKDH we encourage the creation of alternate characters as long as they follow our rules. In order to keep colors separate, please create a separate account for each character.
  
  
• You can't play them all: Currently you may only play 2 canon/semi-canon characters at a time. However, characters with unofficial names (like Spotty) or any of the characters from the previous scripts of The Lion King (such as Diku and Dwala) will not count towards this total. You may play as many original characters are you like however as long as they are all active.

Roleplaying Rules

Note: These are what is expected of you at all times during a thread, failure to follow these rules will result in a warning before a further, harsher punishment being issued upon repeated failure to follow them.

• Watch your word count: We at TLKDH encourage you to constantly try to strive for better quality and longer posts. As a result, depending on the kind of character you apply for there is a word count limit you are expected to achieve at all times. We do not feel these are hard to achieve and would like to note that better quality roleplayers deserve access to certain kinds of characters. This is not to discourage you however if you feel that you are not quite up to the standards, it is actually quite the opposite. It is to encourage you to try harder and to do better, this gives you a goal after all. I would also like to note that you should constantly trying to out do the person you are roleplaying with as long as your quality doesn't falter as it makes the site look better, and you look better. Failure to keep up with the word count may result in disciplinary action.
  
  Original Character: 200 Words
  Semi-Canon Character/Royal Characters: 300 Words
  Canon Character: 400 Words
  
  
• Know your limits: A two-month old cub cannot survive a full attack by a large adult male lion. No god-modding, meta-gaming (knowing out-of-character things in-character), or auto-hitting.
  
  
• Maturity has a limit: Our site is rated PG for acts of violence that come across in the Disney universe. The following practices are forbidden in role-play however can be hinted to: Sexual intercourse of any kind, self-mutilation, and suicide.
  
  
• Death is final: Once your character dies they cannot return to life.
  
  
• Have a motive to kill: If you are going to kill someone have a motive, you can't just kill someone for the sake of killing someone as there is no reason to. If your character wishes to kill the other character both players must agree on the fact that the character will be killed.
