You must read and understand ALL of these rules BEFORE you begin roleplaying.
If you fail to follow the Rules and Regulations of the Mature Roleplays it could
result in serious consequences.
1. Image Rules
Appropriate Image use
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.
If you are unsure of an image that you would like to use please send the image to a mod or an admin and they will be able to answer your question without consequence.
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. <-- Doing just this is perfectly fine
If you fail to cite the artwork you use I will make it mandatory to use Easybib.com at the very bottom of your roleplay page Easybib.com to correctly cite your image source.
If you have questions about how to use Easybib's image citation do not be afraid to ask me or any of the other staff members
• 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
If the Artist is Unknown please be sure to state it like so Art By: Unknown Artist
Then if you fail to do this I would like ALL users to again use Easybib.com to correctly cite their images at the bottom of their page.
IF you can not figure out how to use easybib.com please message me or any of the staff members and we will be happy to help! If you cannot find all the information you need for your image message me or any of the staff members, we will be happy to help!
Please follow this rule, for now I'm going to be lenient but once people fail to cite the artwork they use I will be forced to make everyone use easybib.com... if users continue to fail to cite the artwork they use I will be forced to remove all images from being used on Moon-n-Cloud except for those made personally by the user.

2. Romance Rules
Even though this is the Mature Roleplays section Sexual content is NOT allowed
Mature roleplayers who want to roleplay descriptive romantic and sexual scenes may find our rules too strict. If that's the case, then you must find another website to roleplay on. 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 descriptive sexual roleplaying. I will not tolerate sexual content!
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'
• Kissing can be some what "deep", nibbling/biting/chewing is okay but any farther then that I would prefer the description to be less detailed.
• Kissing the neck is okay but no farther down then that. Yes, you know what I mean...
Characters MAY NOT:
• Be naked (partially or fully) around other characters, Male characters are an acceptation they can go shirtless.
• Erotic groaning/moaning is not acceptable.
• Hands should not touch the chest, groin, during a romantic scene. Touching the butt is fine along with the thighs.
• 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 some 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 overly 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 overly 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
• Other then Sexual Violence I will accept other forms of violence until I find something that I feel is not fitting for Moon'n'Cloud's Mature Roleplay thread. If I find something with in your post or rp forum that we admins do not agree with one of us will send a message to inform you that what has been posted or included in a rp forum is unacceptable. This will be without a consequence, if it goes unchanged then you will be getting a warning or worse.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
• Use alcohol influence as an excuse for non-consensual sexual acts.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Self Harm/Suicide and Mental Health Issues in Roleplays
Characters MAY:
• Suffer from depression or other mental disorders.
• Have a history of self harm. However.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rules will be added if need be and an announcement will be sent out informing everyone about the new rule. Depending on Admin and Mod decision making rules in this area could become more lenient depending on the section. If and when this happens there will be a PM sent out to all players and it will be posted in the announcement board.
If you fail to follow the Rules and Regulations of the Mature Roleplays it could
