Welcome to PokémonWorld, a friendly UK based Pokémon community that's involved in both general and competitive Pokémon discussion and gaming / battling. However, even if you're not much of a Pokémon fan, feel free to join in with other discussions that take place, you're still welcome here! This set of rules is more of a general list, relating to all forums on this board.

Make sure you read the forum FAQ first. This will educate you on pretty much everything and you'll be more aware of if you're breaking a rule.

• Use common sense. This will generally prevent you from ever getting into much trouble.
• No Spamming, Double Posting, Flooding, Trollling, Excessive Profanity or anything else in relation to these violations.
• No staff impersonation. This includes any attempt to appear to have certain abilities not possessed; such as using Badges as an avatar, using a similar name or other staff, or claiming verbally to be staff.
• No Mini-Modding. The PokémonWorld Staff don't need to be told what to do. Feel free to make suggestions for the forum in the PokémonWorld forum though.
• Do not disrespect the PokémonWorld Staff. Again, suggestions are encouraged, but there is a difference between a suggestion, a command, or insulting someone.
• Insulting or flaming other members is also treated in a similar manner, be sensible, there should be no reason to start arguments. If someone has offended you, it's best to PM them and sort it out calmly, or PM a member of the PokémonWorld Staff to sort it out.
• Don't advertise other websites without persmission from a member of the PokémonWorld Staff. There is a difference between linking someone to a site to give them an answer, and directly telling someone to go to a website because it is "good". Use common sense.
• Don't use enormous Signatures. We have no guidelines currently on a limited or suggested size, but as long as you use common sense and make them a reasonable size, you should be fine. Text Signatures are limited to six lines.
• Don't bump old threads without good reason. PM a member of the PokémonWorld Staff if you're unsure whether to revive an old thread or start a new one.
• Never create another account. Ask an Administrator if you ever want to get your name changed. Multiple accounts are forbidden and should never be required.
• If one of your threads / posts is edited or deleted by a member of the PokémonWorld Staff, do not re-edit or re-make the thread / post. It will have been dealt with for good reason. Feel free to PM the Staff member in question or any member of the PokémonWorld Staff if you're still clueless as to why your post was edited or removed.
• Post all threads in the correct forum(s).
• Stay on topic.
