Caribou Coast's Rules
Age Requirements
Caribou Coast is an adult-only dream located on the FurN map of Furcadia and its continuity is heavily influenced by mature themes that require discretion. Because of this, Caribou Coast is an 18+ IC/OOC community, meaning that both you and your character must be 18 or older to join. There are no exceptions to this rule.
Continuity
Caribou Coast is a modern city set in the present day. As a general rule, technology found in the city and available to your characters is reflective of technology existent in the real world. Current events can and may affect the continuity.
Caribou Coast is also home to a few exclusive, original species. These are open, original species designed for play exclusively within the Caribou Coast continuity. If you are found playing one of these species in another continuity, you will be asked to change your character and you risk being subject to disciplinary action.
For a more in-depth guide to character creation within our continuity, please visit our character creation page.
Consent
While RPing in Caribou Coast, it is expected that you will adhere to the consent rule. Be clear about the terms of your RP before you begin and respect other players' boundaries. Do not respond to a roleplay that you are uncomfortable with. If another member violates this rule or the terms you agreed to, disengage from roleplay and message one of our managers directly.
Abuse of Power
Caribou Coast has a zero-tolerance policy concerning abuse of power and god-moding. Your character is absolutely allowed to be powerful and strong, but please remember that there is always a balance and that even superheros have their weaknesses. If you are caught abusing the continuity or god-moding within Caribou Coast, your character will face IC repercussions and you will be subject to disciplinary action OOC.
Public Roleplay
Public, group RP is actively encouraged in Caribou Coast, though we do have a few guidelines around what is acceptable roleplay on the main map. Violence is acceptable in public RP as long as the consent rule is respected. Sexual RP may be allowed on the public map, though please be courteous as you would in any other RP. Additionally, there are a number of private rooms available for free use throughout the map. Please remember to be courteous of others RPing around you.
Out of Character Conduct
Before all else, treat everyone with kindness and respect (this includes not spamming other players). If you are unable to do so, Caribou Coast is not the place for you. Homophobia, transphobia, racism, ableism and sexism are all considered disciplinary offenses. Trash-talking of individuals or other communities is absolutely not allowed and is considered a disciplinary offense. We have a strict no-bully policy and there are no exceptions to this rule. If you do find yourself being harassed, please place the offender on ignore and contact one of our managers directly.
That said, we are a mature, adult-oriented community and as such, mature topics may be brought up in conversation within reason. Please bear in mind that it is unacceptable to purposefully make another person uncomfortable and in doing so, you may be subject to disciplinary action. You may post NSFW links, but you are required to label them as such.
Discipline
If you do find yourself subject to disciplinary action, your first offense will be met with a verbal warning and you will be placed on probation. If you commit a second offense while on probation, you will receive a second warning, be suspended from the dream, and have your probation extended. If you receive a third and final warning while on probation, you will be permanently banned from Caribou Coast.
Do not assume that because you are not on probation that you will not be suspended or banned from the dream. Offenses will be assessed on a case-by-case basis by our managers and we reserve the right to bypass any tier of this system if it is deemed necessary.
Caribou Coast reserves the right to adjust these rules at any time. Not having read the rules does not exempt you from following them. -
