The Piplup Palace Forum Rules
These are the TPPF Rules. If you don't follow them, you could be suspended, banned, or even have your account deleted! Make sure you check back whenever these Rules are updated. It could "save your bacon"!
1. Use your best spelling/grammar. If you don't, we won't be able to understand you! The language we use here at TPPF is English. Use your best English, please. n00bsp3ak [Noobspeak, the "language" noobs (NOT newbs) speak] is permitted in a few threads Moderators have started, like "I wuz here," posted by Teh Blazer. If you don't follow this rule, you may be warned 1 - 15%
2. NO SPAM. SPAM stands for Stupid Pointless Annoying Messages. Only three smileys per post. No pointless posts either. If you post SPAM, it will be deleted and you will be given a warning! If you don't follow this rule, you may be warned 1 - 30%. If you keep this up, you may be suspended/banned/deleted!
3. Be nice to other members. What we don't need is a flame war. If you have something to say, and it isn't very nice, unless the person specifically asks you to say it, don't. And if you play, say, a villain in an RP, and people start flaming you outside of the RP, let a Moderator know. We'll take care of it. If you don't follow this rule, you may be warned 5 - 40%
4. Don't ask to be Staff. The more you ask to be Staff, the less likely we are to make you a Staff member. Staff members will be chosen if we feel they are worthy. If you don't follow this rule, you may be warned 5 - 15%
5. Only post your threads in the appropriate boards. If you don't, a moderator will move the thread. Also, if you are unsure about where to post the thread, PM a Moderator. If you don't follow this rule, you may be warned 0 - 5%
6. If you have a suggestion for a new category or board, or anything else, such as an RPG idea, either post it in the Suggestions Board, or else PM an administrator. A regular member can't do anything about the suggestions, except agree with you or disagree. If you don't follow this rule, you may be warned 0 - 1%
7. Don't ask about banned members. They're banned for a reason. It's okay to talk to banned members after their ban expires, but don't talk to the perma-banned people. If you don't follow this rule, you may be warned 5 - 50%
8. The dreaded 4-Word Rule of doom! That's right; if you post something with 3 words or less, it's SPAM. If you don't follow this rule, you may be warned 1 - 20%
9. Don't double post. The only exceptions are if your posts are at least two weeks (14 days) away from each other, or you need more character space (up to 3 extra posts, unless you have permssion to post more than that). If you don't follow this rule, you may be warned 1 - 30%
10. Don't bump up old/dead threads. They die for a reason. A thread is considered an old/dead thread if it is either not one of the first 20 threads listed (one page), or it has been locked for some reason and isn't stickied, or it hasn't been posted in for around 5+ months. If a thread you want to post in is old/dead, ask a Mod to bump it up for you. A thread ISN'T old/dead if it is stickied. Stickied threads can always be posted in, unless they are locked, or a Mod says otherwise. If you don't follow this rule, you may be warned 1 - 30%
11. Keep it PG-rated or below. Don't post T+ rated stuff without a moderator's permission!! Kids come on these forums, too. We don't want to post mature content or anything similar. If you don't follow this rule, you may be warned 50 - 100%, or be suspended/banned/deleted!
12. Have fun!!!! The most important rule of all. If you don't have fun, you might as well not have joined TPPF at all. No, we won't warn/suspend/ban/delete you for not following this rule.
