Forum Rules
Below are a list of rules that we as staff have created to ensure a fun and stress free environment here on Alternia. Most of the rules here are common sense, but please read over them and learn them to prevent any issues with Staff. If a member is caught violating a rule, punishment will be enforced. Depending on the seriousness of its nature members can be warned to permanently banned depending on how upper staff see's fit. If you have any issues, concerns, or possible misunderstandings with any of the rules please contact an Administrator for assistance. Keep in mind that all of these rules apply to both the forum itself and the Cbox.
  • Part I: [goto=part1,General Rules]
  • Part II: [goto=part2,Rules for Roleplaying]
  • Part III: [goto=part3,Multiple Accounts]
  • Part IV: [goto=part4,Other]
[anchor=part1]
Part I: General Rules
  • Any form of hate regarding a members race, gender, sexuality, or ethnicity will not be tolerated.
  • Flaming, or the act of arguing with another member on the board where insulting one another takes precedent, is prohibited.
  • Spamming is not allowed. Please do not double post. If you need to change or correct something with your previous post, please use the edit button instead.
  • Porn and other sexual images are absolutely not allowed beyond that of a PG-13 limit. If you are caught posting porn you will be banned permanently. A temporary ban will be set in place for those who post images inciting strong sexual themes, with the length of the ban depending on the seriousness of the offense.
  • Impersonation of another member is prohibited and will result in a ban or with a severe warning.
  • Cheating will not be tolerated. Do not claim to have something that you do not. This applies to staff as well, for they are not allowed to edit their own profiles to avoid any form of cheating.
  • No Stealing of any of Alternia's information. If you want to use something, contact an admin and ask permission, we will usually be more than happy to let you use them.
  • Advertising is to be kept OUT of posts and the Cbox. If you want to advertise something put it in your signature or make a topic in the Advertising Forum.
  • Pestering the Staff is not allowed under any circumstances. All staff work here is completely voluntary and please try to remember that everyone has a life offline.
  • Violence towards other members is not tolerated.
  • Finally Administrators have absolute authority over the masses and all staff, and are the leaders of the site. Moderators may not have as much power, but still hold a degree of command when no one higher then themselves is present. Be respectful and courteous to them at all times. Defiling them subjects you to punishments of their will, in the site and on the Cbox.

Part II: Rules for Roleplaying
  • Violence is tolerated in RP only. Graphic detail however is not allowed. Descriptions of physical mutilation or wannabe SAW scene-like characterizations are not allowed.
  • Characters cannot kill NPC's without a Moderator's permission. Keep in mind that if you are granted permission to kill a NPC, they will more than likely go down fighting. Any consequences IC are a direct result of the the members decision to kill another.
  • Similar rules apply for the killing of another member's character. In order to kill another player's character, you must have both the members permission as well as the permission from a Moderator.
  • You can however kill off your own Pokémon. Again, there may be unforeseen consequences for committing such an act.
  • Suggestive themes are allowed while in character. However, nudity AND any sexual acts are not allowed anywhere on the board. This includes breeding Pokémon. Because no one wants to see that.
  • Offensive language is allowed but please refrain from having it be to excessive. Certain words on Alternia have been censored already.
  • The use of alcohol/smoking is allowed for in-character purposes. However general laws for society still apply and you can be arrested and charged if caught breaking one of these laws such as public intoxication.
  • The use of illegal drugs however is prohibited.

[anchor=part3]
Part III: Multiple Accounts
  • Side accounts are alternate accounts (second, third, or fourth) that allows you to role play as another character. In order to get another account however, you must have the permission from an Administrator. If you are found creating another account without the permission of an Administrator, it will be deleted and the player will be warned.
  • If you are allowed to make a second account, the two characters are allowed to interact and journey together. Any trading between the accounts must follow the normal trading rules listed here.

[anchor=part4]
Part IV: Other
  • Anything you do while here on Alternia must abide by Zetaboards' Terms of Service AND Zetaboards' Terms of Use as well as the rules you've (hopefully) just read though.
  • There is to be no discussing of ROMs, Emulators, etc. Not only will you get in trouble, but you could get Alternia in trouble. If you want to talk to someone about it, take it to a messenger, but keep it off of Alternia.
