Welcome to the Latias Forums. We hope you find your time here enjoyable and informative, but we must lay down some ground rules to help maintain the high level of quality of our forums. The Latias moderation staff assumes that you have thoroughly read the general rules and those specific to the sub-forums in which you choose to post. Full compliance is required; loss of privileges will result if your posting habits are not up to scratch. The following are general rules which are enforced in all sub-forums. Be aware that moderator discretion is supreme in all cases.
Do NOT organize trolls here. If you post here about how you've been trolling a forum, you will be banned.
If you get a warning from a member of staff, and you want to reply to it, think long and hard about that reply. If you respond with flames, sass, etc., you will be banned. This applies to harassment of staff outside of the forums for performing their moderating duties.
No staff impersonation. This includes any attempt to appear to have certain abilities not possessed; such as stealing an avatar, using a similar name or claiming verbally to be staff.
Do not be a junior mod. This means that you are not to make posts like: “Ban this guy!”. The Latias moderation staff is more than capable of maintaining these forums; please let them do so without your interference.
Trolling is not allowed. This means keep purely joke posts and one word replies out of the serious forums. If you do not have something substantial to contribute to a thread, do not bother posting. Just think to yourself, "Does my post add something to this thread?" If the answer is no, think twice about hitting that submit button.
This is an English forum. Post in English. Unless your topic is specifically about posting in Spanish or something similar, there is no reason to not post in English.
Employ the conventions of standard written English. Nobody is going to jump down your throat if you make a spelling mistake or split an infinitive, but please, your posts MUST be readable.
Do not bump old threads. Making meaningless posts in threads that have long since died is strictly prohibited. If you have something of consequence you’d like to add to a thread that has fallen off the front page, feel free to do so. All “bump” “to the top” etc. posts will be deleted without exception.
Do not register multiple accounts, ever. This is self explanatory. If you wish to change your username, contact an Admin via PM. If you create an alternate account when banned, your ban will be extended or made permanent.
Do not flame or abuse other members. The anonymity of the internet does not give you a license to treat the users of this forum disrespectfully.
Do not post illegal stuff here! This includes links to ROMs, warez, or anything of the sort. If it's illegal, do not link to it here.
General stupidity is banned. This includes linking to porn sites, shock sites, “lol cats” or anything else in that vein.
Do not create threads that do not support discussion. Creating an entire thread to ask a simple question is not acceptable; do a Google search for that stuff. All thread starters are required to provide a good basis for discussion in their opening post.
Do not disparage other internet sites here, especially other Pokemon communities.
Do not flood or double post. If you have something more to add to a post you have made, please edit it rather than creating a second post.
If your post or thread is edited or deleted by a moderator, do not remake it. It was altered for a reason.
Post all threads in the correct forum. The topic of your thread determines the most appropriate location. It is fairly easy for us to move threads, but it would be nice if you would be conscientious enough to make your threads in the correct places.
Do not send mass PM's for any purpose, especially advertising. Please forward any such PM's to an Admin if you receive one so that the offender can be dealt with.
All signatures must be a reasonable size. Using an image that takes up half the page is unacceptable and will result in a straight up ban.
Do not link to shock sites, rick rolls, or other sites designed to scare and/or annoy the person accessing the site. This goes for signatures too.
Read the rules of the sub-forum in which you would like to post before posting.
