This Modern World

---

• 18+ Adult Writers Only - Content in this group is of adult nature with unfiltered language, descriptions of graphic sexual scenes (consensual and non-consensual); and descriptions of violent themes. The use of external links and embedded graphics that are considered NSFW (Not Safe For Work) is acceptable. For this reason, A Modern World is a 18+ adult group and all safeguards possible to prevent access by minors are in place. Anyone who is at least 18 or older per their birthday information provided to RP Repository at the time of registration can apply to join this group. RP Repository User Adult Age Verification is a plus, but not a requirement to join this group.

Only original characters with ages or birthdates displayed in their profile that shows they are 18+ will be accepted provided they conform to all the other specific group character requirements listed. All eligible characters in the group or seeking entry into the group must reasonably act like adults. This is both a Modern City group rule and a general rule enforced by RP Repository. If a character that has been accepted into the group, but later changes their profile information or imagery to appear to be younger than 18, or the character acts younger than 18, the character will be removed from the group.

• Story RP Content - Modern World is an 18+ Adult Private Group hosted by RP Repository. Being a private group, there is allowance for explicit violent and sexual content as long as it adheres to the greater RP Repository Site General Rules. More specifics are available under the 'Ratings Clarification' topic under the Site General Rules. It is a Modern World Group Rule that roleplay threads carry a Warning Disclaimer at the top of the opening post of a story if extreme graphic violence, graphic sexual activity, and if dubious and/or non-consensual sex (rape) may be or will be encountered within. No underage characters, NPC or otherwise, will be written in stories with a sexual activity warning. Zero tolerance with this per RP Repository rules.

• Common Courtesy - Be Polite and Respectful of others in OOC discussions and IC roleplays. Please give others a chance to post in-character in open roleplay threads. If you feel the need to block someone in the group, please talk to Stormie about any issue that has arisen on the group. If it is because of reasons outside the group, please consider the impact this can and will have among the group. Blocking characters in a small community like Modern World causes issues for all involved.

• Respect the Administrator and Moderators - This is a sub-issue to Common Courtesy. Moderators are people who are entrusted to look after the group and are willing to put their time into 'working' instead of 'playing'. If anyone has an issue come up with a moderator, please let the administrator know. If you join the group and feel the need to block a moderator, let the administrator know as well. Personal reasons for blocking someone are your own, but if you have an issue with someone who is a moderator, this group may not be for you.

• General English Writing Literacy - what is shared needs to be readable. Please use proper sentence structure and paragraph breaks in longer posts. Typos and bad auto-correct are ok and is expected, as well as use of modern slang. Please do spell-check and preview-check before posting to make it easy for readers to appreciate your word-art!

• Modern Drama (Slice-of-Life) Themes - This is a free form writing group of this genre. There is no set story-plot that takes place, so any forum roleplay stories can cover whatever the writers wish to include within a modern slice-of-life framework. Write as much as you feel comfortable writing without pressure but make an effort to present at least a small paragraph. In general, this is a rather laid-back place where one can write stories in-character by themselves, 1x1, or with a group of writers.

• Real Human Depictions - It is a requirement that to be accepted into this group, characters must have a real modern human depiction. No fantasy, cartoon, or animated human depictions. Really well done AI-enhanced real depictions may be considered, and a decision will be made on a case-by-case basis by the administrator at the time of application review. If after being accepted into the group, any edited changes/adds of anime or supernatural visuals and descriptions to the character profile will be cause to be removed from the group by the administrator's descretion.

Happy Writing to One and All!
