You must read and understand ALL of these rules BEFORE you begin roleplaying.
If you fail to follow the Rules and Regulations of the PG Roleplays it could
result in serious consequences.
1. Image Rules
Appropriate Image use
All content should be child-friendly. If you're using images for your roleplays they need to follow these rules:
• No personal photos - it breaks our privacy rules to share photos of yourself or your family and friends
• No nudity, including those with strategically covered breasts/crotch. Males can be shirtless.
• No images of people in sexually suggestive or flirtatious poses
• No images of people with focus on the breasts/crotch/butt
• No images of people who appear to be undressing or with clothes suggestively slipping down
• No images of people in skimpy underwear/swimwear or see-through fabric - however some images may be acceptable if the clothing has reasonable coverage and the pose is not sexually suggestive.
• No images of excessive blood/gore/horrific injury
To Avoid Art theft
To avoid art theft and being accused of art theft, I would like ALL users to correctly and clearly cite their images they use.
Here is how I would like you to cite each image you use for the following categories:
• For the Roleplay's front page: If you are using images that do not belong to you I would like you to put underneath each image who it is created by like so, Art By: Carlos Rebato. But if you are unable to find the creator then please write somewhere, either top or bottom preferably, that the image(s) does not belong to you but to their rightful owner and you take no credit.
• For character reference sheets: I would like all users to state clearly that they do not own the art work by stating the artists name example: Art By: Jessica Moorse, or that the art does not belong to them but to their rightful owner
IF there are any questions regarding this then please feel free to contact an admin! We will be more than willing to help!

2. Romance Rules
PG Roleplay content must be child-friendly at ALL times. This includes content and invite-only or 1-on-1 roleplays.
Mature roleplayers who find these rules too laid back may visit the Mature role-play section instead, but this section is to be kept PG at all times. We will not tolerate rule-breaking here no matter how old you are or how willing your roleplay partners are. Users who break these rules may get board warnings, lose posting abilities in the roleplay boards, lose the ability to send PMs, or may be permanently banned from MnC depending on the severity of their behavior. You can be banned instantly without any prior warning if you are found to be involved in sexual roleplaying.
Characters MAY:
• Kiss on the lips, innocently. Or on the forehead/cheek.
• "Go to a room alone for a while" without any further description or implication about what they're up to, i.e., a 'time-skip' or 'fade to black'
Characters MAY NOT:
• Be naked (partially or fully) around other characters
• Kissing must not be "deep", involving tongues and nibbling/biting/chewing is not allowed.
• Kissing the neck/chest/stomach or other body parts is not allowed
• Erotic groaning/moaning is not acceptable.
• Hands should not touch the chest, groin, buttocks, thighs during a romantic scene.
• Suggestions or implications that sexual activity has/is about to take place cannot be made.
"She smiled gingerly and gestured at the other room, "want to go somewhere quieter?" is acceptable.
"She smiled gingerly and gestured at the other room, "we'll be needing the privacy..." is not acceptable, for example.
• Sexual abuse and forced sexual activity is NOT acceptable to roleplay or imply under any circumstances. It also cannot be a written or implied part of a character's history. Roleplaying as either the victim or the perpetrator of sexual violence are both equally unacceptable.
• Relationships between an adult and an underage teenager/child is not allowed - for example, there cannot be relationships between teachers and their students.
•Incest in any form is unacceptable.
Roleplaying in PMs:
I will not tolerate Private Message Roleplaying. If you want to roleplay 1x1 you can go to the 1x1 roleplay thread, or the invite only thread. ALL rules apply to these areas as well.
Pregnancy & Teen Pregnancy in Roleplays
Characters who are at least 18 years old MAY:
• Be pregnant, or become pregnant in a roleplay. However, it is not okay to describe or roleplay scenes of how they became pregnant.
• Give birth during a roleplay, but the birth scene should be "time-skipped" or "fade to black". Descriptions of a person physically giving birth is not acceptable.
• Breastfeed their baby, but this shouldn't be descriptive
Teen Characters aged 16 or 17 MAY:
• Be pregnant in a roleplay or have already had a baby when the character is introduced. However, they may not fall pregnant during a roleplay. There shouldn't be any descriptions of how they got pregnant, including implications of sexual abuse.
• Breastfeed their baby, but this shouldn't be descriptive
Characters MAY NOT:
• Imply that pregnancy was forced, result of abuse, or otherwise seriously unwanted.
• Be pregnant or have/had a baby when they were under the age of 16
• Be a pregnant/mother character who has a listed age of 16+ but "looks like a child" - this will be considered an attempt to evade the rules and make a younger character pregnant
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Violence Rules
Violence is common in role-plays, as most characters get into a fight sooner or later.
•Sexual violence of any kind is NEVER acceptable to roleplay or imply, whether described by the aggressor or the victim
• There can be violence of other kinds though just try and keep it PG, if someone in the rp feels that the violence is to descriptive and asks to tone it down please be kind and respectful of their wishes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Drug/Alcohol Use in Roleplays
In western culture it's quite acceptable to smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol in public and in the presence of children, so we think it is not necessarily inappropriate content to include in roleplays on Moon'n'Cloud. However, we feel it is unacceptable for characters to use drugs or alcohol illegally, which includes underage drinking and smoking.
Characters MAY:
• Occasionally drink or smoke (nicotine) cigarettes, as long as the character is of legal age. (age varies between countries/states, but typically the legal age is at 18 or 21).
• Take legal drugs as prescribed to them by a doctor, or take a regular dose of non-prescription drugs like aspirin
Characters MAY NOT:
• Drink or smoke while under the legal age
• Use any illegal drugs such as heroin, weed, crack, cocaine, etc
• Obtain prescription drugs illegally, or miss-use prescription drugs and non-prescription drugs by overdosing
• Abuse alcohol. This includes being an alcoholic.
• Use alcohol influence as an excuse for abuse, excessive violence, or non-consensual sexual acts.
• Imply a history of illegal drug use or alcoholism or imply illegal usage of drugs/alcohol "off-screen"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Self Harm/Suicide and Mental Health Issues in Roleplays
Characters MAY:
• Suffer from depression or other mental disorders, as long as it does not cause them to do anything overly drastic/inappropriate or behave in an offensive way.
• Have a HISTORY of self harm. However, NO details of this may be roleplayed or described, and they can not be in this state of mind presently.
Characters MAY NOT:
• Be suicidal or self-harm/cut. Thoughts of self-harm and suicide are NEVER acceptable to mention ANYWHERE on the site.

Rules will be added if need be and an announcement will be sent out informing everyone about the new rule.
