+Q: I heard PonyTown Roleplay is extremely strict about who gets to play. What's up with that?\\
+A: We'd love to learn more about where players are hearing these rumors, because we have discovered that there's been some misinformation circling out there.
+The short answer is that we are only as strict as we need to be to make sure our setting feels authentic to the world of MLP, and to protect our players from trolls and such. That's it.
+We've heard from some that OCs aren't allowed, for example. Actually, the opposite is true - we actively encourage OCs to make PTR a more vibrant community. The only things we don't allow are OCs that you wouldn't generally find in the show: robots, strange hybrid creatures, and so forth. Our [[species_guidelines|Species Guideline]] page goes into more detail. Also discouraged are extensive and/or unrealistic ties to canon characters in OC backgrounds. We'd rather OCs have their own vibrant stories!
+There was also apparently a rumor we don't allow people to be on-sim unless they're actively RPing. Also not true. We have a whole section of the sim that's 100% OOC at all times, and in general we're okay with people being OOC in IC areas as long as they're not disruptive to ongoing RP.
