04. Please post accordingly with the season and weather, which can be found on the homepage.
05. Remember to close your < HTML > tags.
06. If you have a problem with another player, please message a moderator privately and the situation will be dealt with.
07. Beyond the Mountains does not accept responsibility for any links that lead to unrelated sites' content, whether posted by members or by advertisements. Beyond the Mountains does not accept responsibility for player actions or messages off-site.
09. If you have a question, please refer to the FAQ and other rule sections before asking on the Mod Box; your question may already have an answer.
10. If you see a rule that has been broken, please inform a moderator, referring to the exact post/rule broken and (if possible) a link or screenshot.
11. Images and HTML used in posts must be your own and properly credited. You must have proof to show that you are allowed to use said image or HTML otherwise your image/HTML will be removed from your post. If you continue to use the image/HTML you are breaking copyright law and you will be removed from the site. This is your only warning.
Characters/Joining
01. Characters cannot share the same name with another character unless the original user gives permission or the name in question was posted very little and the player has not been on Beyond in months.

03. Characters can not be claimed on the joining board.
04. Joining forms must be completely filled out to be accepted.
05. All characters require genetics to be added to their stats. If you are unsure on this subject, please ask one of our members or a moderator for help.
06. There is no limit on the amount of characters you can have, but please no more than you can handle.
07. For more information on joining with powers/attributes/other, see the fantasy element section of the rules.

06. Characters are not all-knowing. They will not know of an event in another territory if they were not present or told by another character. Please remember that.
