  • * 3.4 If your board is listed in the Directory and has been closed, either turned offline or has been deleted, please PM an Index Mod or Admin so the Advertisement can be removed. We don't appreciate unnecessary space taken by members whose boards aren't even online anymore.
  • 3.5 If you as member want to reply in a ad, be sure to give also some constructive criticism, not only 'that is soooo cool' or 'that looks funky, I'm gonna join.' But also tell what you like or dislike, or why you join. This can help the person who advertises as well!
  • 3.6 The board that you advertise should comply with the IF TOS! If not, we will report the board and delete your ad!
Lastly, we appreciate very much that every single member introduces him/herself into our community. It is only nicer and will only make a better impression on the staff and members of RPG-D. We are always very happy to welcome new members into our midst.

Rules could be added or edited any time without notification! New rules will be marked with an asterisk (*).
