Rules-Read to avoid ignorance-

The League---
This is the main area where league battles are planned and held. This is strictly monitored to avoid issues and spam within the sections and subsections.

To ask for a battle, make a new(locked) topic within the Gym subsection you wish to challenge. Follow the gym rules and be polite. Good sportsmanship is required. Please challenge in the order in which they are descending.

To challenge the Elite Four, you must beat all the Gyms and tell an E4 member themselves. Then, the Administration will evaluate your Gym Challenges. If you are clean and have completed the Gym Challenge, then you are capable of challenging the E4(in any order).

Finally, once you beat the E4, you will be contacted by the Champion with a direct set of instructions. Follow them. If you are unable to follow the rules, you will need to redo the Gym Challenge in a month. Failure to abide by one rule in particular is grounds for a ban.

The Lounge---
This is the Pokemon area...and basically, use common sense and decency. Do not post non-pokemon related jibber-jabber here. That belongs in Off Topic. Battle others and share game knowledge. Keep it appropriate. Don't be offensive. No racial slurs. No strong insulting language directed at others. Try to avoid shitstorming and flaming. Just...be...a...nice...person. Ok?

Off Topic---
Since Off Topic is the place where most non-Pokemon related posts come to live/die, you can suspect that there aren't many rules. We mainly ask you to have simple common sense and decency once again. That means no racial slurs, no strong insulting language directed at others, try to avoid shitstorming and flaming, and no "Your Mom" jokes.

What you do in any area on the forum, if to a great extent, can inflict consequences on your status, ranks, and standings in The League. If the behavior is unprovoked, unsolicited, and right out rude, it will start to injure your league status and ultimately get you kicked out.

The injury depends on the crime.
Five warnings from Administration and and you will have to restart the Elite 4 or Gym Challenge over again.
Ten warnings and you're done and banned.

If you are warned more than once, you will be incapable of challenging Gyms/E4/Champion. One month waiting period for every warning after five.

Temporary bans are a possibility and Administration will not fiddle with silly issues.

Report users according to their posts.

Check the rule regularly in case of additions.

And remember, Admin Sylfy is always fabulous.
