Rules-READ BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING!

RULES

1. No violence or talk of anything such as drugs, guns etc. We'd like to keep Twilight Kingdom a nice and friendly place to be in.

2. No flaming or being rude to anyone. If you come across people you just do not want to be friends with, don't cause each other trouble.

3. Please try not to double post. This makes the forums look messy, go back and edit your post instead. If we find a double post we may just edit it ourselves, or delete it.

4. It isn't necessary but try to keep to at least three words per post. A post with no words and just smilies will either be deleted or edited!

5. No spamming, which means posting without any relevance to the topic. Also no going off topic. Spam is basically:
Stupid
Pointless
Annoying
Messages

6. Capitals are allowed IF they are used correctly and with a point. Basically you can use them if you're not going to shout or flame people.

7. No swearing whatsoever! We do take note of those who swear and there will be consequences!

8. No excessive use of emoticons to decorate the page or to fill anything up. It's classed as spamming and they do not count as words. This also applies to the chatbox, continuous usage of emoticons can get very annoying.

9. No telling other members that they are breaking the rules if you don't know the rules yourself! This is up to the admins/mods so please don't try it unless you know better. If someone is breaking the rules on purpose, DO NOT REPLY TO THEM! Alert us instead! Try to help new people on the forums and chat if they are doing something wrong without knowing. Pointing them to the rules in a friendly manner is a good idea.

10. Don't ever ask to be a mod or admin. We decide who is worthy of managing the site and asking will only lessen your chances.

11. You may PM the mods and admins if you need help. Any rude PMs won't be responded to, and you may be banned.

12. There is no real signature limit, however, if the image(s) obstructs the forum layout, they will be removed. Remember, just because there is no real limit does not mean you can have a small animation thats over 1MB.. think of those dial up users! We recommend under 70KB and no more than 3 images, unless they're small enough or neatly presented.

13. No bringing up old topics that do not relate to this day and age. Meaning you can bring up old topics if they died out and will be good to start again. But if the topic concerns members of the past, then it's quite pointless.

14. No one shall flame or speak badly of ANY other website, you could really offend members of that site if they were to ever come across us. Flaming other sites is wrong!

15. No picking on newbies. Try to help them instead, everyone is a newbie at some point and we all make total idiots of ourselves too, so don't bring people down. If it annoys you, then fix the problem! Don't make it worse!

16. Never EVER EVER EVER bring up sex or anything related, it's one of our pet hates, we are here to talk about things which are suitable for all ages!

17. Absolutely NO flaming or arguing rudely with the admins, whatever we say usually goes and if you feel strongly against it then you may contact us but be nice and polite. Respect us and we will respect you.

18. Speak in English ONLY please! If the admins and mods are unable to understand things then we cannot moderate the forums or chat!

19. No "What is your favorite Pokémon" topics, that is what stickies are for. In other words, it is better to post in the existing threads than to start a new one with identical relevancy to it.

20. No making "I will answer all your questions" type threads, they tend to spoil the purpose of the website and forums.

21. Creating a new account on Ho-oh's Realm is highly frowned upon unless you absolutely have to! Anything you want to do on a new account can be done on the old one INCLUDING changing your username if you ask an admin!

Rules Specifically for the Chat

22. Be patient, not everyone connected to the chat is available, don't start getting upset when no one responds, people might just be busy doing other things.

23. Absolutely NO clones, which means joining the chat more than once at same time.

24. Anyone who spams will get a warning first, if they spam again, they are banned..."end of story". Whether the ban is temporary or permanent is entirely up to the admins/mods. "Spam in moderation I personally think is fine... but not constant spam."

25. Respect other people's wishes. If they want you to leave them alone, please leave them alone.

26. Please try to avoid "text/chat speak". For example "i leik 2 tlk 2 ppl" it is very much frowned upon.

27. If a troll walks in and starts causing trouble, STOP TALKING. Simple as that. If there are no mods around then just STOP and they'll get bored if no one is speaking. If you argue back, YOU'LL be the ones getting into trouble.

28. Religious and political chat is forbidden due to people not being able to control their emotions. Many users have been insulted and flamed for their beliefs, time to put a stop to this.

Ok and those are the rules. If you do not cuaperate and follow these rules you will warn you about it. If you continue to not cuaperate with these rules you will be banned without further notice!
