Forum Rules:

These are pretty basic rules but I've seen whole forums go down by these things.

1. No Spamming! Please people stay on topic, unless there's a very good reason! This does not count towards the Spamming Board.

2. No Flaming, we don't want fights now do we?

3. No Double Posting, unless it's been 20 hours since you're last post. Staff members may double post if necessary. Go to the Spamming Board if you really want to double post several times.

5. Show respect for other members and staff. You may have a problem but don't make topics saying, 'Voltaic SHOULD BE BANNED!!!!' or saying 'VOLTAIC is wrong!" or ANYTHING like that!

6. Try showing some intelligence and not use inappropriate language. You never know when there is a kid on the forums. If you must please label you're thread with a warning.

7. Do not advertise you're sites and forums in threads. You may provide links or banners in you're signature, but please do not overdo it.

8. Do not post topics or replies showing inappropriate images or videos. You will be banned without warning.

9. Mini-modding is very helpful, but please leave it for staff. You may report threads or posts to anyone of the staff members.

10. Show credit for people who have made you anything from the Graphic Shops.

11. Do not make threads or posts like: "I'm a rank up" or "look at the posts I have". They are considered spam, so please do not do it.

Any one who breaks the rules will be reported to Emerald and other staff!

You get three warnings before you are temporarily suspended or banned. Follow the rules and everyone should be fine.

Yours sincerely,
The Houndoom

Spectrum Six and Gym Battle Rules:

-No using hacked Pokemon or hack their stats. If you use them, you lose the match and you could possibly be black listed. Unless have special permission from three administrators.

-Battle rules are posted on every leader thread, they will make up their rules as long as the two major rules remain.

-If you want a battle, please stick around long enough and actually find one. Don't say "PM me if you're interested!" Please post a reply on a challenger post or make your own!

-Please have good sportsmanship. Bragging, being excessively cocky/arrogant, debasing others, making false accusations of hacking, or being a sore loser are all frowned upon.

-If a disconnection happens, keep the same team that you used previously if both parties decide to re-battle. Also, please do not disconnect if you are losing. Lose with dignity, don’t be a sore loser.

-Keep off topic discussion to a minimum. Talking in the miscellaneous thread or shout box about an off topic discussions is alright, as long as it is not your sole purpose for posting on the forum.

-This is a leader vs. leader rule. If you are not a leader, ignore this rule. If two gym leader’s battle, to keep the stakes fair there would be three options.

1. Battle by Gym Leader A's rules. Gym Leader A's badge is on the line.
2. Battle by Gym Leader B's rules. Gym Leader B's badge is on the line.
3. Battle by rules agreed upon by both Gym Leaders. Both badges are on the line. Winner gets loser's badge.

-No more than 2 legendaries can be used per team.

-Gym leaders still have the right to ban legendaries from their gym if they wish to do so.

-Must follow all rules of the Gym Leader, Spectrum Six, and Champion.

Important things to follow when posting:

-When you are posting a GYM battle thread please put your WiFi name Vs. Leader name (Gym), and notify them once you made the thread. For example:

Emerald Vs. Alex (Gym)

And, please don’t leave the thread blank when you are battling each other, CHAT! This is what forums are for aren’t they?
