OOC Rules
general rules to follow
The most important rule we have here at BANG! is that you are expected to respect everyone on the site. Be they a guest, member, or staff member, everyone deserves fair treatment. Expanding on that, it is especially important that you do not troll new members. This means if a new member asks a legitimate question, you are expected to answer as correctly as you can.
Please do not beg for replies to your thread from moderators or members. We ask that you please be patient with people and wait for a reply. Similarly, please do not beg for certain Pokémon to appear in any manner. You're free to make a wishlist in your character's profile, but mentioning how you want to encounter a Charmander will not make it any more likely to happen.
Discussions about politics, religion, and similar things are allowed, but only if they don’t get out of hand. If they start to get too heated remember the rule of respect, and take the discussion elsewhere if you wish to continue it.
This site has a PG-13 rating, meaning anything of pornographic nature is not tolerated. This includes pictures, links, discussion, and posts that are pornographic. Similarly, links to illegal things such as torrents are not allowed.
If you wish to advertise your forum we request that you use the advertisement board. Please do not advertise your forum anywhere else on the site, including the cbox.IC Rules
rules to follow when roleplaying
Here at BANG! we welcome all levels of roleplayers, but we do ask that your in-character posts be at least 100 words long.
There is no order in which you must visit the boards. You can roleplay anywhere you want, and have as many threads as you want. We go by “liquid time” which means your threads do not have to be occurring in chronological order.
Do not powerplay. Powerplaying is taking control of another person’s character or Pokémon without their permission. If the character is not yours and the Pokémon is not in your possession, you do not get to decide what happens to it. Godmoding is also not allowed. When battling, please be reasonable with your attacks, dodges, and the amount of damage your Pokémon takes.
You may not spawn your own Pokémon. Only staff members may spawn Pokémon for you.
The OT, or original trainer, of a Pokémon plays a role in whether you can control it or not. If you are traded or given a Pokémon as a gift, it may not listen to you, depending on its level. The amount of Sheriffs you have defeated dictates the level of traded or gifted Pokémon you can control. They are as follows:
One Sheriff Defeated: Pokémon up to level 25 will obey
Two Sheriffs Defeated: Pokémon up to level 50 will obey
Three Sheriffs Defeated: Pokémon up to level 75 will obey
Four Sheriffs Defeated: Pokémon up to level 100 will obey
If a romantic relationship happens to develop between you and another person’s characters, please keep any and all sexual acts off of the forum (including PMs!) Any such scenes violate Proboards Terms of Service, and will not be tolerated on our forum.
Please include a link to your character’s profile in your signature.
