You must follow these rules and if any of them are disobeyed, us the admins will be notified and take care of it immediately.

Note on Double Posting: Double Posting is allowed but only in the Art section, Story Section, and Roleplay Section. Edit: Double Posting may be allowed in the advertisement thread. Only of the topic you have made.

SPAM is not allowed.
SPAM are posts with little relevance to a thread. Members are not allowed to create posts that are devoid of content or invaluable text.

When posting in areas other than the game section, intro area, or the spam areas, posts must have more than 8 words in them. Make some up if you have less than 8. Due to a lot of fewer than 8 word posts by me and others, i'm cutting this out and it won't be a bother to anyone, at least I hope not. Make it more than 2 words though.


Everybody is to respect other people.
Do not flame, bash or insult other people. If someone acts uncivil, or harasses/intimidates you, you are not given the excuse to act the same in retaliation. Language in the forum must not be offensive to others - words such as "gay" when used in a derogatory manner must not be used. Do not press upon other members' religious beliefs.

Advertising isn't allowed in any of the forums except the Project Advertisement. And the advertised site must be a pokemon forum and no other.

Pornographic images must not be submitted anywhere on Project Pokemon
In no portion of the community can an image or link to a pornography site be submitted. Doing such is heavily disregarded - posting such will lead to an immediate and indefinite ban, regardless of a member's forum status.

Illegally tampered copyrighted software may not be posted or linked to.
Including ROMs, “warez” or cracks, no software that has been illegally tampered with, or distributed outside its legal means, should be linked to. This includes original BIOS or firmware files for any gaming platform. ROMs are copyrighted materials, and the distribution of them without any copyright holding is prohibited.

User Profiles

No inappropriate images.
That means showing a man or womans 'parts'. Basically like pornography, but only in a profile pic. ITS NOT ALLOWED

Do not give out any personal information.
Giving out information such as your full name, your address or telephone number can be very dangerous online. Be cautious when sharing information.

Group Creation

a place to create your own groups. On Poke Project, your only allowed to join 1 group unless the group allows the joining of another group. And if you want to request the color change of your name, PM me and I will set that up for the group. For example


Team Toxic
Color: Light Purple or Dark Purple will do
Creator: Unknown


The person's username will get changed to a purple color, w/e color of the group color. And they will have the right to approve the person or not. If the user isn't able to, then PM any of the admins on there and we will see what we can do.

Signature Rules

YouTube videos may not be embedded in signatures.
you may however, put it in the signature, THE LINK of the video. Put this.
Youtube Video: ETC.

Other than that, The sig can have any pic you want, no pornography or inappropriate pictures.

Photobucket:
If you are an admin, I already told you the username and password for the projects photobucket.
If you are a user and want to add stuff to the photobucket, please post the image in a message sent to either me or the other admins.

Limit the use of foul language
Try not to evade the swear filter too much as well

Don't post multiple times in a row
There are a few special cases where this is allowed.

Stay on topic within threads
If you want to talk about something completely different, make a new thread or use the search button to find the right one.

Don't troll or flame users. Be respectful.
Includes the use of language that's racial, religious, rude, sexually explicit, insulting, threatening, abusive, hateful, ethnic, or just a general intent to annoy others.

Don't minimod
This means posting simply to say something along the lines of "This should be closed." or "UserA, you spammed."

Don't make/use multiple accounts.
If you make a new account, you must tell an Admin so we can transfer over active sig strikes or infractions. If you're found with multiple accounts without the transfer, you'll get an infraction/ban.

Don't evade bans or let a banned member use your account
Results in more bans/permaban/IP ban

Due to not having an advertising section, advertising is not allowed and other sites can't be discussed here. If you are caught PMing or have a link in your sig, *warning* Ok, that last part was a non.

# Don't use a ton of smilies in your posts please
# Try not to quote really huge posts
# Don't ask staff how to become a mod.
# Being new does not give you a temporary immunity to the rules.
# If you wish to contest an infraction or complain about a member or moderator, contact an SuperModerator or an Admin. Don't make threads to whine about it, that doesn't help or solve anything.
# Visitor messages on member profiles are not to be abused and should abide to these general rules.
# Make sure to read the rules of certain forums/subforums. They contain their own unique rules.

No Offensive Content
This can include text, images, or whatever. You may NEVER bypass the censor in your signature, in part or in whole; it must be completely starred out if you use a censored word. You also may not have any images that use censored words in them, or any other offensive types of images. You also may not insult any person or group of people, or falsely quote someone. If it is something that they actually said on the forums (or elsewhere), you are free to quote them.

Give credit for images used.
Unless you made every single part of an image yourself, it is an official image (such as a sprite directly from the games), or the artist has explicitly stated no credit is needed, you MUST give credit to where you found an image. You need to either give the artist's name or the site you found it, but search engines like Google and Photobucket are not acceptable as credit sources.

No pointless groups.
Don't create groups that no one wants to join or that won't create discussion. If it'll end up being a waste of space, don't create it.

No repeats of existing groups.
If a group for your purpose already exists, don't create a new one, simple as that.

No hate/flaming groups.
Don't create a group just to express your dislike of something.

No double-posting in groups.
Self-explanatory, don't post twice in a row in your group. Use the Edit button if you have something to add to your group.

No groups created purely to advertise.
You can create fan groups for sites that you like (provided they're appropriate), but you may not use this privilege to create a group for your own site/forum and try to get more members/hits. Any groups created purely for the latter may be deleted. If you're not sure whether your group falls under a fan/appreciation group or an advertising group, you may ask me or another staff member.

Off Topic Discussions
- Areas throughout the Freezing Rein Board which is allowed to go off-topic


■Introduction/Farewell
- Limited conversation is allowed in these forums, mainly because this is where the member gets introduced by others from the board, maxuimum pages conversations should exceed to 2/3 pages. Farewell threads conversation can exceed to 3 pages max!

■Off Topic Category/Threads
- In this whole category of Off Topic, you can well go extremely off topic (ONLY IN THE CHAT THREADS). As for the rest you have to relate to that off topic discussion, not randomly bring your own into that thread!

■Staff Forums
- This forum is not meant to be used for off topic discussions, as it is used for the team to discuss between one another on how to improve the board for the members. Very little off topic is allowed!

■Forum Games/Spinoff Games
- You are allowed to to go off topic but please when you are playing the game don`t forget to post the part about the game, and only leave your conversation, it will be marked as spam.

■Forums That You May Never Go Off Topic In!
- These forums are really important and should never be posted in, that will eventually make members go off topic!

■Community Announcements - To notify members of updates only!!

■Questions and Feed Back - Suggestions, or Questions that can be answered, or resolved/answers.

■Pokemon News - News for pokemon only!

■Wifi Center - Wifi Center concerns, not off topic concerns!

■Pokémon Strategies and Movesets - Strategies & Movesets concerns only!

■Pokemon General - Pokemon general topics only (No Off Topic)


Concerns about Bans:
Just a fair warning, if you are caught having more than 1 account to avoid a ban, you will automatically get booted out of the forum.

PERMANENT:
If you are caught with an account that is banned and you made another account before that or after that, you will be banned. NO EXCUSES! And if you keep on making new accounts to get passed the ban, you will be permanently banned and have your IP address banned as well.
