1. Personally attacking others is not allowed.
We want Poliwager Forums to be safe for everyone. Using derogatory or offensive words, slurs, or threatening other users will not be tolerated.
2. Do not spam.
Avoid short, unnecessary posts that are unrelated to the topic at hand.
Spam includes:
- Short posts under 3 words. (Add some content to your post so you aren't just posting things like "I agree" or "lol".)
- Double posting. (Posting two posts right after another. Use the "edit" button instead.)
- Reviving old topics. (You may revive a topic if the contents are still relevant and you have something to add, however. Make a new topic if it has been an extended period of time since someone posted in it.)
- Anything not relevant to the topic. (Make a new topic instead if you have something you want to share.)
Users should not try to step in for the Moderators or Admins. Instead, users should use the report post button at the top of the post so a moderator can handle it.
4. We are a PG forum.
Sexual related, illegal activities, and other things that aren't appropriate for a PG Forum are not allowed. We do have younger members here. Keep swearing to a minimum. Do not try to bypass the censors. You may turn off word censors in your User Control Panel.
5. Do not give out any personal information.
You are responsible for your account and we want you to remain safe while being here. Don't share your password, email address, house address, full name, or anything else personal. Use a strong password, and don't give your password to anyone for any reason, including staff.
1. Signatures.
Signatures can be changed by going to your User Control Panel -> Profile -> Signature. Your signature can have links, images, and text, but cannot have any inappropriate images, links, or text.
Your signature can have images in it up to 500x300 pixels. You have 512 characters to use for your signature. Signatures will be cut off at 350 pixels, but you can scroll to see the remaining signature if it is longer than that.
2. Avatars.
Avatars can be changed by going to the User Control Panel -> Profile -> Avatar.
Avatars can be up to 150x150 pixels and must follow the same rules for Signatures (above).
3. Poliwager Adoptables Images.
You are welcome to add your Poliwager Adoptables image codes to your signature so your Pokémon can gain views. However, you should refrain from adding them to individual posts unless the Pokémon is relevant to the topic (such as the Click Exchange Topic). Read more about adding your Poliwager Adoptables images here.
4. Spoilers.
The spoiler tag should be used for excessively large images, or when spoilers for an event, game, or announcement are posted. Please use common courtesy for others and don't spoil things for users that don't want to be spoiled.
5. Other BBCode and Markup.
Poliwager Forums uses BBCode to markup posts. With BBCode, you are able to edit colors, sizes, and alignment, and add images, YouTube videos, and links to your posts. Hover over each button the Post Reply page to see tips on how to use each BBCode. Please use these responsibly, and avoid using eye-blinding colors in your posts or using excessive images that are unrelated to the topic. You are also able to add attachments from your mobile device or computer to your posts, and create polls for your new topics.
Anyone breaking rules continuously will be sandboxed (you will need to have a moderator approve your posts before they get posted) or banned (blocked) from Poliwager Forums! As mentioned throughout this post, these rules are in place so that we can enjoy a fun and safe place together.
If you see anyone breaking any of these rules, please report the post by using the 'Report' '!' button in the top right corner of the post, and if it is urgent, PM Slix, or another moderator.
