Note to all newbies: Once you have read the rules of each section here in this thread, you must make a post in the thread linked below stating that you have read and understood the rules, or else risk not being booked:
snwefed.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=lockerroom&action=display&thread=6430
First off, the rules of the message board in general...
1) No flaming whatsoever. Joking around with someone is fine, but be sure to make it obvious that it's a joke, such as posting a smilie, j/k, KIDDING!, etc.
2a)No nudity! If you're unsure about posting a pic, just PM me.
2b)If posting a link that directs to anything NSFW(not safe for work, ie nudity, obscene language, etc), you MUST warn the members that the link is NSFW.
3)No topic spamming. The Wheels Off Topic board is the only place where post-whoring is allowed.
4) No harassment of other members. If you have a problem with someone that posts here and you want to be a member here, then just ignore their posts. But if someone you don't like being here is such an issue, then it's probably best that you don't sign up here.
5) No alter egos. In other words, only one account per user.
6) So as to not stretch the pages on this site, please keep the width of all images(sigs, etc) to 560-600 or less. Any images that stretch the page will be made smaller by me if my request to make it smaller is ignored.
7) To the moderators: If I or another mod locks a thread, do not reply to it even though as a mod you have the ability to reply to locked threads. They are locked for a reason.
8) PMing people about your efed or message board or posting a thread advertising it without permission from a staff member is disallowed. You can, however, post a link to your site or efed in your signature, but ONLY if you have received permission from me or only after 10 posts(whichever happens first). First time violation will result in your account being suspended for one week. Second time, you're gone.
9) Do not post wrestling related spoilers in the title of your threads. However, you can post a thread with a spoiler in it if you give it a vague thread title, i.e. "Smackdown Spoilers." Also, there are people on here who live in other parts of the world that do not get to watch wrestling programming the first night it's available here in North America. Some people have to wait a few days. Please be respectful of this and do NOT post actual results in the title of your thread, i.e. "NEW WWE CHAMPION! OMG! LOL" However, you can post "Monday Night Raw results." That way, people know whether or not they want to click on the thread.

SNW E-fed rules and somesuch.
1) First and foremost, refer to the Sign Up Guidelines and RP Guidelines. They are in this same thread below this post, so there is no excuse not to know those guidelines.
2) SNW runs bi-weekly, meaning we have shows every other week. This gives the writing team ample time to put forth the best show possible and to get shows up on time, as well as giving RPers as much time as they need to get an RP done, and even RP elsewhere if they desire.
3) The limit of wrestlers per handler is 4, and the limit of managers per handler is 2.
4) No shooting on other efeds or characters in RPs or SNW.com(the newsboard). This is something all of us at one time or another(me included) have been guilty of, but from my past experience, it just creates more headaches than you want to deal with. Take it from someone who's made this mistake. Now if the shoot is part of an angle(i.e., you really have no beef with anyone, you're just trying to build a certain type of persona for your character), please PM me about it, and we'll go from there.
5) No racial or sexual slurs in your roleplays. Also, no raping or killing of random people in RPs. A camera would be where your character is, and as sleazy as Gordon Heath is, he would never have a rapist or killer on his roster.
6) The deadline for all shows will be set when I post the match cards.
7) No attacking of or use of other handlers' wrestlers/managers without their permission. If you have their permission, you must post an OOC note stating you have permission. Also, no attacking of SNW staff members(announcers, interviewers, etc), with the exception of interviewer Bob Sturm. He can be abused as much as you like ;D
8) There will be no roleplay limits. However, it is quality over quantity.
9) While I do have a staff on hand that are on hand as an advisory board of sorts(a championship committee, if you will), much like Vince McMahon, I have the final say on everything efed related.
10) If you would like to contribute a segment to a show to help advance a storyline, that is fine(in fact, it's encouraged). Please send any and all segments to me, unless otherwise noted.
11) Do not talk down about other efedders and their perceived skill level. You can offer advice to other efedders about how to improve, but no snide comments such as "Oh, they'll get beat in a squash match," or the like.
12) Knowing when you are booked is YOUR responsibility. We are not your babysitters, and won't always be able to tell you if you're booked. Now if there are dire circumstances, such as you won't be able to log in for some amount of time, then we can make arrangements to let you know if you're booked, but do NOT take advantage of this as we have lives too. It only takes about five minutes to log onto the boards and look in the Upcoming Cards to see if you're booked.
13) I will NOT tolerate ANYONE here disrespecting my authority here, and will NOT tolerate bitching about wins and losses, as well as what kind of match your character is booked in(especially on house shows), and anyone that does will be sent to our efed version of Wrestler's Court. Soul Reaper will be the judge, jury and executioner of said E-Wrestler's Court. Now if you really feel that your character was misused(ie, you're RPing with a Sandman type character, and all of a sudden he's wrestling as if he's Santino Marella), or if you really feel that your RP was much better than the other one(ie, a three line RP somehow beating a three paragraph RP), then you can feel free to RESPECTFULLY PM me, or any staff member such as Shaggy, Reaper, James Jackson, Wench or myself. As far as wins or losses... this is an efed, it's not real life. Get over it! You can always go to Gordie's Office and make a post requesting a rematch.
14) The Sandbagging Rule- Please don't intentionally wait just hours or minutes before deadline to post your first RP, as we will mark off for it. If it can't be helped, that's understandable(but don't take advantage).
15) I, "Hollywood" Matt Shannon, am NOT to be referenced as the owner of SNW when posting newsbits, bios, promos, etc. Any bios, newsbits or promos that reference me as the owner instead of Gordon Heath will be edited by me or another staff member.
16) Please be sure to put mattshannonxcw@gmail.com in your address book so that you can be sure to get the mass emails I send out. Also, please check your spam folder as mass emails could accidentally get sent there. This is the only time I'll remind you all of this. I'm not your mother.
17) Match outcomes, I'd say around 90-95% of the time, will be determined by RPs. However, there may be times that the RPs are really close and we can't pick a winner because votes are tied. In this instance, we reserve the right to go with a finish that is used to advance a storyline(in other words, an angle-based outcome).
18) Starting with the Feb 13 edition of Saturday Night Onslaught, if you have just signed up for SNW, your first match in SNW will be a dark match that you must RP for like you would for any other match, even though the dark match results will just be a basic "Wrestler A def. Wrestler B." This is to ensure that you are serious about being here. Now if you've been here for awhile and you post a new character's bio, we won't require you to RP for a dark match as you have already showed us that you are reliable to RP. Also, we will post random pre-show dark matches that are not announced that you won't have to RP for, and at times may involve one of your long time characters. However, we will not have dark matches for PPVs. If you're new and sign up with a new character, and the next show is a PPV, then you can feel free to post character development promos as we won't book you till the next TV show.
19) As of 3/29/10, no characters can hold more than one singles title(note, this applies to characters, not handlers). A character can be a co-holder of the Texas Tag Titles and hold a singles title. But no more than one singles title.
20) Title Rematch Clause: As of now, if a champion loses his/her title, they can enact their rematch clause in order to have a rematch for the title they lost. The rematch will take place at a time designated by me. There will be a deadline to enact your rematch clause, and it will be designated by me, and you will be notified via PM. To enact your rematch clause, just PM me stating you want a rematch for the title you lost.
21) Do NOT pester me or any staff member about when results will be up. They will be up when we can get them up, and that is FINAL.
These rules may be amended at anytime.
