Welcome to Sanctuary of Dreams! Thank you for coming in and having a look around. If you have any questions you can ask any administrator or staff; you'll be able to find them by the color of their name.
Please read and acknowledge the rule of the board. When you're finished you can begin your application.
Community Guidelines:
1.) Please be respectful. We are all one big family while we are here. This means no personal put downs, no out of character fighting and no out of character arguing.
A.) If an Admin makes a ruling, it is law. The site's best interests are in our hearts, and in the end, your best interests too. If you have any concerns or questions, please contact us through PM. However, if you're going to argue a ruling that has been made and put into action, be respectful, be patient and accept we are not likely to change our minds, but we will consider it.
B.) There is a No Tolerance Act in effect for any behavior done onsite, or in relation to the site, insinuating lewd, crude or unwarranted behavior. Simply put, this is not a dating site and not everyone is going to like your pick up line. You'd do best not to use it unless you're deathly certain it is appreciated. If it is reported with evidence, it will be immediately punished via a ban, starting at one week and growing depending on the violation. We have this rule strictly to protect our members from those who would join the site for purposes beyond what the site was intended for. Thank you for your understanding of our position.
2.) Personal Conflicts: Any out of character conflicts between members that take place on-site should be reported to the staff. If true hostilities cannot be calmed, the members in question will be temporarily blocked from the forum as a warning. It's not hard to avoid each other. If it truly cannot be handled by the parties in question, measures will be taken. The reason for this rule is simple. We've all seen sites that have fallen into turmoil due to conflict among its players. We want to avoid that at all costs. Conflict in character can be fun. Out of Character Conflict in the c-box or personal plot threads is excess unnecessary stress on all of us and therefore not acceptable.
3.) Personal Information: We at Sanctuary of Dreams will never require you to give your personal information. It is advised that you keep your information private and do not share your location or full name on the boards.
4.)Complaints: If any of the guidelines are not followed or you think that someone is treating you unfairly or improperly, regardless of who or when, be sure to get screen capped proof and send it to an administrator. This includes harassment, lewd behavior and bullying.
5.) Suggestions: Any requests, questions or suggestions that you feel comfortable asking on the forums can be asked on the suggestions board. We very much value your interest in any subject and will respond to these threads as soon as humanly possible. Here at Sanctuary, your opinion is very important.
6.) Activity Due to past concerns, if you do not post anywhere and/or log in, without any notice to a staff member or with a post in the vacation thread after 2 months, your account will be deleted. We've had too many people sign up for a character and only sign on for the Activity Checks, holding a popular character and not showing any interest in actually roleplaying. PLEASE DO NOT HOG A CHARACTER. If you're not going to roleplay as them, please do not take the username. The first word of the password you need is: Legend. Go read the Character rules for the second word!
Also, for profiles posted up, you'll have 7 days to complete them before they are PMed back to you! We do this to keep the board clean and neat. This doesn't mean you can't apply for this character; you are more than welcome to repost them back up.
7.) Account Guidelines : PLEASE have your display name and icon match the character you are applying for. We use the pictures to identify the character just as much as the names and seeing Mickey Mouse with a Pyramid Head icon would be very strange!
Activity Check Rules:
1.) Stay active. If for some reason you cannot continue with the forum for any length of time, you are expected to alert an administrator and/or post in the vacations thread or risk having your account deleted. You are expected to also make every monthly activity check (Unless you have posted in the vacations thread) or risk losing your characters.
Vacations with no end date are good for ONLY one (1) AC; at the second, if no further notice has been given, they will be deleted unless it is a special circumstance and has been ok'd by a staff member. PLEASE TRY TO KEEP IN CONTACT SO WE KNOW YOU STILL WANT TO KEEP YOUR CHARACTERS! EVEN IF IT'S JUST A LONELY CBOX MESSAGE
- Activity checks take place on the 7th and end on the 14th of each month. After the deadline, I will be deleting all who have failed to post. Even if you do not have a profile YOU STILL POST IN THE CHECK! Your account will be deleted if you fail to do so.

How to Screen Cap Conversations (PC version):
- First, pull up the screen in question. You may have to take a couple of screen shots if the conversation is long enough that you have to scroll to read it all.
- Second, find the Print Screen button on your keyboard. Press it ONCE. It won't look like anything has happened but don't worry.
- Third, open up a Paint program, or something that works similarly, on your computer.
- Fourth, go to "Edit" and click "Paste." You should see it paste the screen you asked the computer to "Print," when you hit the Print Screen button on your keyboard.
- Finally, save the picture as a JPEG or PNG file and email it to one of the administrators. If you have any further questions, please send me a PM.
