There are always exceptions, but please be aware of how you're supposed to act in a community!
General Rules!
(The Big Ten)These rules should be followed everywhere on this domain, from your OOC comments to your RPs to the Lounge. You will get consequences based on the severity of how badly you're breaking the rules, if you decide to break them. The importance of the rules and manner in which they're broken is also taken into consideration when a user does not comply intentionally or unintentionally.
1) Trolls and people who spread hate or start flame wars aren't tolerated.
2) Respect! And follow the rules (not just in this thread, but all rules) -- it doesn't matter if you're me, staff, or a member. Follow them!
3) NO unsolicited advertising. You earn the right to spam these things in the Advertisements board. Break this rule and I will steam you and serve your head on a platter.
4) Don't plagiarize other people's work on here. You can't do it! Just because people here generally don't have patents for their ideas doesn't mean that you can take them without permission. Characters, images, board descriptions, every single part of this site belongs to the one that did it first. Ask before you use! If the creator says no, then don't use it at all!
5) Spel chek is awsom, so use it! (Also avoid excessive chatspeak. When a word is three letters and you shorten it to one, the only thing you did is piss us off. It's not worth your reputation!)
6) Try not to double post. Use the nifty little Edit button, it's there for you to use whenever you want to double post. If you do it on accident or on occasion, please don't have a panic attack... just don't get too comfortable.
7) We aren't going to star out every other word you say. But keep in mind that we're here for Pokemon. It starts as a kid thing, and we need to try respecting members of all ages.
8) NO racism or discrimination of any sort. Also, don't argue politics and especially not religion. This is a very strict rule, your beliefs on these topics are yours but they will NOT be shared.
9) Try to keep anything you post on the boards PG 13, please. Please?! The rule of thumb is don't say anything that you wouldn't say to your mother.
10) THE MOST IMPORTANT ULTIMATE [yellow]GOLDEN[/yellow] RULE: respect and have fun!!
