Forum rules
Though TPPC is frequented by a number of people of varying ages, please note that this is primarily a children's site and therefore, profanity will not be tolerated. If you can't abide by that rule, please don't signup and/or post. These rules apply to posts, topics and profiles.
Our rules are common sense for the most part. They apply all over the RPG and its parts. Follow them! There's no excuse, they are there for all to read.
TPPCRPG Rules:
Conduct
1. Do not cheat. This includes using programs such as autoclickers, macros, etc.. Also included use of more than one browser or more than one window to battle at once (multibrowsering/multiwindowing), abusing glitches to get stuff you should not be able to get or to get it more easily than others, or doing anything that gives you an unfair advantage that others do not have.
> If you find an error or problem, PM it to a mod. Do not post it on the forum.
2. Trading TPPC stuff for things on other sites or vice versa, or trading TPPC stuff for real-world money are not allowed.
> Glitches/glitched pokemon are also not allowed to be traded.
3. Do not create multiple accounts around golden time in order to get many, many goldens.
4. Do not share accounts.
> Do not "give away" accounts either; it causes lots of problems in case of disputes/sharing issues/etc. Give away your stuff IN the account instead.
5. Keep your password safe, and keep it to yourself. Always logout when using a public computer. Do not give your password to anyone else for any reason. Note: None of the staff members will ever ask you for your password.
6. Do not scam.
> Staff members will look into it, and if you're caught doing so, you will be permanently banned from the RPG, Forums and possibly even the chatrooms.
> Lending somebody your Pokemon or letting them train it is at your own risk. Moderators will not help you get your Pokemon back.
7. If an account is banned and that account holds any staff members contest pokemon, the contest pokemon will be removed from the account.
Note: If you're caught cheating, scamming or anything else of that sort, your account will be permanently banned along with any other accounts of yours.
Courtesy
1. Be respectful and polite whenever possible to all others.
> Keep your names and profiles appropriate. Do not use vulgarities, profanities, or anything excessively rude, etc.
> Please keep the atmosphere of the RPG kid-friendly. While we have some older players, this is still a site for children.
2. Do not impersonate another user. This includes pretending to be them anywhere RPG related, or offering to trade pokemon out of their account that you don't own.
Chatroom Rules:
Conduct
1. Please have only 1 chat open per person (bots are not allowed).
2. Guests should change their names when they arrive. Typing /nick namehere (example. /nick Bill) is how this is done.
> Stick to one nickname. If you feel the need to change your nickname, refrain from doing it too often.
> Do not use inappropriate names.
3. Keep trades in #TPPCTrades. Type /join #TPPCTrades to get there.
> Rules concerning trades apply in the chatrooms as well; at no time on the chats are you allowed to inter-site trade, exchange pokemon for real money, or trade glitched pokemon etc.
4. Stick to chatting in English.
5. Don't spam. Do not post ads for other Pokemon RPG games, your site (this also includes 'friends' site and anything else), or chatroom channel(s). Also, no illegal or inappropriate links please.
6. Do what the staff in the room tell you to do.
7. Don't steal nicknames or Impersonate someone else. This includes registering a name only to forcefully disconnect people who use it.
8. If you have an RPG issue and no moderator is on the chat at the time, PM one on the forum or post in the Help forums. Normal users or chat server staff cannot help you.
9. Do not abuse the bots or any of the other server functions, especially in ways that harm other users.
10. Do not attempt to create new channels without permission from a staff member or an ircop. Always remember, the only official TPPC channels are:
#TPPC
#TPPCTrades
Anything else claiming to be official TPPC should be reported to a staff member or an ircop.
Courtesy
1. No cursing or vulgar language is allowed.
2. Don't harass, fight with, or purposely annoy others.
3. Do not beg. This also includes asking for powers or status of any kind.
4. If you choose to roleplay, invincibility is not appropriate. Please keep RP reasonable; don't clutter up the room with one-line posts if other people are also trying to talk.
5. Please do not type words or sentences in all capital letters.
Trainer's Corner Rules:
Conduct
1. Do not abuse the report button. This means don't flame moderators in your reports, don't report people without a good reason for it, etc
2. Do not spam. This includes "recruiting" for clans, which is not allowed. Do not advertise other Pokemon sites, forums, chats, or game sites. It is alright to have a link to your profile/signature, but that's it.
> Please don't say "sorry for spamming" - you obviously know you shouldn't be spamming, so just don't do it in the first place.
3. If you think someone is cheating, please PM a moderator. Do not make a thread about it.
4. No posting of any threads that break or encourage breaking any RPG rules, such as threads about intersite trading or cheating.
5. Do not post threads telling people to check another portion of the site. For example, do not make a thread telling them to check their PMs.
6. If someone is flooding or mass spamming the forum and a moderator is not online to take care of it, do not reply to their posts.
7. Account sharing is not allowed.

9. Do not bump threads, except in Trades, where you may bump after 20 minutes only.
10. Do not make "I quit" threads. Just leave silently.
11. Do not ask what a Pokemon is worth. It's worth what you think it's worth.
12. Do not post anything inappropriate; this means nothing of a vulgar or obscene nature, etc.
13. If you posted something and forgot something, please do not make a new post. Use the 'edit' button instead.
