General Rules[/size]
- Abide by the Proboards ToS at all times.
- Do not spam any area of Senko, including the General Chatter board and the Cbox. Doing so will result in a warning, and repeating it after this may result in a suspension or ban.
- Keep things PG-13. If you're in a thread that's starting to get over that, the creator of the thread MUST put a warning in the title. If something is too Mature or Violent, an admin will give you a warning. If you dont follow it, then you might be banned for a day.
- Respect the other members and the staff. If you don't agree with something, you're fine to say so, but constantly arguing about things is a no-no.
- Please try to avoid stretching the boards! Not only will it make the site look ugly, but it's much harder for Dial-Up users to load pages. If your image is too big, it will be removed or resized without warning.
- Don't steal anything from this board, or use any stolen material here. This includes art, stories, etc. Doing so will result in suspension or a ban. If you're using an image you didn't create, ALWAYS give credit, and have the artist's permission to use it. You have been warned.
- Don't advertise anywhere other than the correct board. Any posts like this will be deleted without warning.
Roleplay Rules
- Make sure your posts are readable and not full of errors and typos. There is a spell check tool. Use it. You are not allowed to use chat/text/leet speak in character.
- No powerplaying or godmoding. Only the member who owns the character can decide what that character does. If you need to take control for a little bit, you need the other member's permission, and you should note this at the top of your post.
- Again, keep things to a PG-13 level. Warnings need to be put into titles if you go over that, and anything too over the top will recieve a warning. Admins will be monitering threads that have the [M] or [R] rating, and if it is TOO descriptive, the warning will be sent. If it continues a ban might happen.
- One-liners are not acceptable. Each in-character post must be at least a decent paragraph long. It's not difficult.
- If there are more than two of you in a thread, please post in a set order, so that no one is left behind if they're off the site for a while. Eg. Member 1 posts, Member 2 posts, Member 3 posts, Member 1 posts, etc.
- Pokemon are only able to learn up to six(6) abilities while they are leveling up. When your Pokemon has six abilities and is to gain a new one upon a level up, you must get rid of an older ability to gain the new one if you want it. You are also able to have your Pokemon not learn the new ability if you would like.
- During a Pokemon battle, you may use only one attack ability, and one status changing ability per post. This might make it seem like it's a little more difficult to make a post a paragraph long, but get creative.
Character Rules
- To be a Pokemon Trainer, your character should be at least 10 years old. If they're younger than that, you need to PM a staff member for permission.
- When making a character, fill out the form provided. This makes sure that you cover everything you need. You're welcome to add sections or jazz it up if you so desire.
- Characters will generally be new trainers starting out. However, if you want your character to start out with Pokemon, you need to PM an admin explaining why, along with each Pokemon you want, and their levels.
If you just want a different starter to the current options, PM an admin when you make the Lab thread, and ask them about it. Unless it's very rare, or a Legendary, we'll usually say yes. - Pokemorphs are allowed, providing that their history makes sense and they are not part Legendary.
- PCs are a must, no exceptions. You should either make the thread after your character is accepted, or after they get their first pokemon. If you don't, an Admin will remind you through PM.
- You may not be a Pokemon. This is a Pokemon Trainer roleplaying forum. If you'd like to roleplay a Pokemon, I'm sorry to say, but you'll have to take your search elsewhere.
- The code for the character board is cherrygrove.
Cbox Rules
- Posting more than 5 times in a row is considered spamming, and you will be warned for it.
- You are allowed to add a link to your Cbox name. However, please don't use this as a means to advertise by asking people to click or drawing attention to it. If the conversation flows to it, sure, but otherwise, keep advertising to the correct board.
- Unless there is an admin there to moniter the C-box to make sure things don't get too out of hand, keep it PG-13.
- Please don't pester other members or staff over the cbox, or start arguments. We can and will delete posts if we have to.
The Admins reserve the right to modify, add or remove rules at any time, without notice. However, any major changes will be posted in the announcements board.
