[CENTER][SIZE=7]DarkRP Rules[/SIZE][/CENTER]
[SIZE=5]DarkRP is rated 'R'[/SIZE]
[I]R stands for, “Age Restricted.” In an R rated server, [COLOR="#FF0000"]age is restricted to 13+[/COLOR] (with parental permission), 17+ on their own recognizance, and chat conversations bear no specific restrictions, other than links to illegal or explicit, adult material (Maxim, yes, Playboy, no). Games with an R Cube rating are typically games that are rated M on the store shelf. In R games, being rude is still being rude, and both frowned upon and discouraged. Keep it friendly and courteous, but explicit language is allowed, so don’t worry about dropping strings of astounding, explicit profanity.[/I]
