01. Astral is a safe place! Bullying, disrespect and harassment of any sort, including discriminatory hate [homophobia, transphobia, racism, etc], and offensive slurs out of character will not be tolerated. If found disregarding this rule, you will be dealt with immediately. Respect is one of our most valued rules. You have probably heard the phrase 'treat others the way you want to be treated' numerous times. This is one of those "common sense" rules that should apply offline or online

03. Promotion of inappropriate images, links and websites will result in a ban. This also includes spreading viruses, spam or any form of illegal activity.

02. Powerplaying, godmodding and metagaming only spoil the fun and take away from the experience. Please refrain from it .
03. Plots involving a large number of cats, a whole clan or more than one clan must have explicit permission from a clan leader [this includes predator attacks and cross-clan forbidden romance). If it's a site-wide plot, present your idea to an admin.
