1. The age requirement to participate in these forums is 17 years of age. Anyone found lying about their age to gain access to our forum will be banned.

2. You may not take on the name of any of our own characters, or those from books, plays, movies or TV shows in an attempt to portray these characters yourselves.

3. The only Supernatural Beings acknowledged here are those who are staff members of Affirmations Eternal. What you are outside of our home is your prerogative, but here you are mortal and nothing else, unless we grant you temporary "powers" during some special event.

4. We ask that you not challenge the Vampires and ask them to prove their "reality" to you on or off forum. If you wish to be a part of our community we ask that you accept the premise this forum is based on so as to keep to our theme for the pleasure of all of our guests.

5. Refrain from asking a vampire to change or turn you. We also ask that you do not ask them to harm others on your behalf. This will not happen.

6. Proper decorum is expected when interacting with not only the Vampires, but each other as well. Please refrain from excessive displays of affection, unless permission to do such has been granted. Certain vampires may not mind light teasing, but rudeness and total disrespect will not be tolerated by the most friendly of them.

7. We are here to interact with you, not to find a romantic companion; such things are strictly forbidden here. Do not invite AE immortals to engage in RP with you off site. If you should find someone on IM claiming to be from AE who is not an administrator, it is very likely that they are not telling you the truth. The administrators are on very rarely to conduct forum business, not to RP with you. The moderators of AE are asked not to become involved with members off site. Administration is not responsible for their actions elsewhere.

8. Please keep profanity to a minimum. If you must use it, please be careful that it is very limited, and not too graphic in nature. If it is out of control, Administration will either delete or edit your post.

9. Discussion and debates on topics are encouraged. That said, respect is demanded. Please remember that all members have a right to their own opinions and do not indulge in personal insults. Posts may be deleted, or locked if we feel that the debate has generated into personal slurs. Nothing that is ethnically, sexually, or religiously denigrating will be tolerated. Those who break such rules will be warned via PM, but if they continue to provoke eventually it could result in banishment.

10. Any threats regarding yourself, staff, or other members, made on forum or in PMs, may result in automatic banning from the forum. In addition, your personal information (including IP) could be turned over to the proper authorities.

11. Regarding the threads known as Immortal Homes we ask that you not use them as a place to air personal grievances with members or moderators. Members are expected to arrive at the "home" of the immortal as the person they have signed in as and begin a conversation with them as their guest. There are variations as to how we each choose to interact with members in our immortal homes. Some prefer to keep it to conversation only, some vampires may agree to engage in various scenarios with you while visiting them that are far more action oriented. Please do not post more than one thread at a time in the homes of any immortal unless you have gained special permission to do so, unless they have created a special "fantasy" thread therein and encouraged members to join in. We ask that you refrain from posts that are more than five paragraphs long, as it does make it take that much longer for others to hear back from us.

12. Do not post links on the forum or in the chat room to other places that feature vampire characters involving RP. This includes the use of our Email or Private message services as well.

13.  The theme of the Dracontian vampires and the storylines associated with them were created for Affirmationseternal and may not be used elsewhere without the permission of the owner of this site. Members, however, may post original tales of their own in the area of the forum designated for that purpose, provided they follow our guidelines when doing so. Those tales may then be posted elsewhere at the discretion of the author/s involved.

14. If you should have an issue with one of our Vampires or another member please either settle it off forum, or simply PM the Vampire in question to discuss it privately. We wish to help you to feel comfortable here, and will be happy to listen to any grievances you may have and do our very best to resolve them. If an issue comes up feel free to contact an administrator to help you resolve this issue.

15. AE cannot be responsible for what goes on off of the forum itself, but we would like to remind you all to be careful when it come to revealing too many details about yourself personally on this, or any Internet site, until such a time comes when you feel you have truly gotten to know someone well enough to trust them. Many members have made close friends here over the years, but to continue to ensure that such experiences are good ones, we ask that you remember to do all that you can to respect each others privacy, & use common sense before you begin to reveal personal details about yourself to anyone on the Internet.

16. Enjoy yourselves! This is a place for serious topics, as well as the sublimely silly. We suggest if you do not enjoy a particular topic, you merely find another to post in. We have many different types of members and we hope that all will be able to find something that is of interest to them, while respecting the rights of others to do the same.
