Here, we try to foster a competitive, yetfriendly, environment for Pokemon fans, strategists, and breeders toshow off their skills. However, as with any large group, a set of rulesmust be established in order to keep the atmosphere stable and safefrom trouble. I advise that all new players read these rules and obeythem. If you frequently break the rules, an admin or moderator has thefull power to apprehend you.
1. Spamming- Spamming is one ofthe most annoying things in a forum. It clutters, distracts, and annoysall the other members. Spamming increases post counts easily andcheaply. Repeated spamming is a punishable offense. Here are someexamples of spamming-
A. Double Posting- Double posting is postingtwice in a row. It is spam. We have an edit button available. Shouldyou have a thought after posting, take the time to go back and edit,instead of double posting.
B. One-Word Posting- Posting extremelyshort posts is spam. Forums are for thoughtful discussions, notpointless remarks like "yep", "uh huh" and "lol". If you want to speaklike this, use the chatbox, please.
C. Advertising- Do not post an advertisement. It's pointless. If you want to advertise, do it in your sig.
D.Topic Revival- A topic is dead if has collected dust for a week and hasno reason to be revived. Clubs, Miniteams, and some Games can berevived. Others usually are not allowed. Pay attention to the postdates, and do not revive old topics. It clutters the newer, more activetopics.
E. Smily Abuse- Smilies are fun to use once or twice in apost. That's why they're there. But a post FILLED with smilies isn'tfun, it's annoying and pointless. Put a limit on the amount of smiliesyou use.
F. Mass Thread Production- If you make a thread or topic,try not to make too many other threads or topics. It floods the threadlist and is spam.
G. Random Post- If you post something that is completely off-topic, it is spam. Please refrain from it.
2.Derogatory Treatment- We at the Topolegion League have zero tolerancefor anyone who is disrespectful enough to insult other members. Thisincludes flaming, insulting, and disrespectful criticism. Comments toanyone's race, gender, or ability that the recipient finds insulting isstrictly prohibited. This applies to the forums and the chatbox.
Note:Truthful criticism is different from pointless, insulting criticism.Criticism may be harsh, but if it makes a good point, then it followsthe rules. Take for example these two:
A. Your Charizard sucks. Your strategies suck. This team is a train wreck. Do you know anything?
B.Your Charizard isn't really that good for *so and so* reason. I can seewhat you are getting at, but this team just is not that good for *soand so* reason. For example, this is bad because *so and so*. Might Isuggest *so and so*?
Comment A is insulting and pointless, and offers no help.
Comment B is truthful and gives reasons to back itself up. This is good.
3.Inappropriate Content- Pokemon is aimed at a young audience. Therefore,a lot of our members are young aged. Therefore, the Topolegion LeagueStaff frowns upon any age-innaproprate material. The following fallunder this category-
A. Profanity- We have a filter on the forums, but there are so many ways to bypass it. Please do not use profanity.
B. Inappropriate Pictures- Rather self-explanatory, don't you think?
C. Non-Profane Comments- Just because you don't swear doesn't make material clean.
Abusers of this rule will be more harshly handled than others.
4.Straying Off-Topic- It's OK to stray off the topic of discourse once ina while to an extent. If the discussion turns sharply, then something'swrong. A moderator or admin will try to straighten the topic, or lockit if it gets out of hand.
5. Misplacement of Threads- If youput the wrong thread in the wrong forum- say, a trading thread in theGeneral Pokemon discussion- it will be moved by an admin or moderator.This is a minor offense, and won't become a concern unless the persondoes this constantly.
6. Real World Information- Here at theTopolegion League, we want to create a friendly, safe environment.Therefore, it is against the rules to persist for someone's personalinformation. If you ask once, it is up to the other person/party as towhether they want to disclose the information, but if you persist, youare committing a punishable offense.
If someone asks for your personal information, think twice before handing it out. You never know what might happen.
Wewant you to have fun at the Topolegion League. But, we also want you tofeel safe and secure. That is the purpose of rules and regulations.
Have fun!
