2. You may only post in an RP thread once the host has approved your character in the OOC .

3. If you do not post in an RP within 10 days after you are able to post, without providing reasoning approved by host, you will be considered "Ghosting" and be locked from joining or making another RP for however many days until you post again. (For instance you post after 12 days. Starting from then you have a 12 day ban on new RPs)

3a. A host may waive this punishment if they wish. It's optional and can be utilized on case by case basis.

3b. Ghosting counts even if you drop an RP without warning. (For instance if you do not post for 10 days then 2 days later drop your Ghosting count starts at 12 days)
