Please be sure you understand the following rules when interacting with Pokemon Rapture.
1. You must be polite and considerate towards both fellow players and staff.
--> We do not tolerate any forms of harassment or bullying.
2. Pokemon Rapture is an inclusive community and will not tolerate bigotry of any kind.
--> This includes racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, aphobia, biphobia, ableism, etc.
3. Pokemon Rapture is an 18+ forum. Please do not join if you are under 18.
4. That said, Pokemon Rapture is also a SFW forum.
--> Our rating is 3-1-1: we permit mature language, mild innuendo or sexual references, and mild violence. We do NOT permit heavily sexual content; nor do we permit gore or heavy violence.
--> We do permit heavy topics such as suicide, self-harm, and abuse, but please appropriately trigger warn for them. Also, they should be discussed primarily in a fictional context, not a real-life one. It's OK to discuss these things when they apply to fictional characters, but real-life examples should be treated with more sensitivity.
5. Keep conversations on both the forum and Discord server light and relatively on topic. No spam.
--> Sensitive topics such as politics, religion, and real-life suicide and self-harm should be avoided or taken to private channels, not discussed on the forum or in the Discord server.
--> Off-topic conversations are fine as long as they happen in the appropriate channel or board. Please don't dominate other areas with off-topic conversation.
6. This is a literate roleplay forum. Please do your best to use appropriate grammar and spelling.
--> IC posts have a 100-word minimum. The forum will not allow you to post fewer than 100 words.
--> In battles, you must give some flavor or context for your Pokemon's move use. Posts that simply state "{Pokemon} uses {move}" are not permitted.
7. Please be respectful of Pokemon Rapture's setting and canon.
--> Pokemon Rapture's worldbuilding is highly collaborative; if you have ideas for the world of Deprin, please let us know!
--> However, please work together with staff to develop your ideas for our world, rather than making major changes unilaterally.
--> A certain level of flexibility is permitted, but establishment of major facts should take place with staff input. (For example, making up your character's neighborhood is fine; making up an entire city is not.)
