Please read, it will make things a lot easier on yourself. So, here are the basic rules that should be followed even if they weren't written down anyway. Basically, just use common sense and common courtesy. Also, if you have a problem with one of our pokemon or any other thing we are using for the game, please let us know. If you're confused or unsure about something, talk to one of the mods or admins.

1.) Do not post, upload, link to, or email anything that contains, promotes, gives instruction about, or provides prohibited content.
2.) No racism or discrimination.
3.) No bashing or flaming other members.
4.) Do not Insult any staff members, or any member at all.
5.) Do not continue to argue with staff when they tell you to stop.
6.) Do not frequently PM/e-mail staff members about things you can simply ask in the forum.
7.) Do not steal. This is one of my biggest pet peeves, so I suggest you provide credit if a base made by someone else is used even if they say credit is not required. It makes things easier. Do not claim something as your own if you didn't make it yourself.
8.) Do not come here just to advertise, please.
9.) Do not use very bad GUMS (Grammar Usage Mechanics, Spelling) or chat speak unless English isn't your first language, then it is excusable.
10.) No spamming. Spamming is posting messages that are less than four words or pointless.
11.) Do not bump dead topics (over a month old) without saying something that adds to the topic. Exception: If it is an art gallery of some sort, the owners may add art.
12.) Do not have avatars bigger than 100x100 pixels, even if you can make them bigger.
