We're functional, which is more than can be said for most of the world these days. XD

Name changes don't necessarily need a reason! 'Just because'; is also perfectly valid. A staff member just needed to get around to approve the name change. So there's that settled.

As for the other thing - I'm actually not sure! This is probably a technical issue - @Teapot is more likely to know more. ^^

Thank you, @StellarWind Elsydeon !

Child, just because someone else violated the rules and wasn't caught yet doesn't mean they weren't violating the rules, or that you have a mandate to do the same because someone else did it.

The posts you've attempted to make both before and after you were moderated also demonstrate that you've failed to read our rules despite the warnings. Hence your moderation continued.

I suggest you spend less time complaining and more time reading the rules and making sure you don't break them again.

Ok

I'd say the rules regarding fan-made Pokemon would also apply to fusions. ^^

Alright then, thanks.

Can you elaborate a bit? ^^

Could we do this in PM?

Fire away.

Ask me again when this is actually relevant. At this point we have no clue how the -max nonsense even works. ^^

Okay, I'll ask again in November!

Bit disingenuous to try to draw attention to yourself when you've made a second account with just a slightly different number to get around that restriction all those years ago too AND continued breaking the RP forum rules under said second account. Seems like we missed that at the time. Massive vigilance flaw on our part.

By all rules of logic I should ban you for doing that as our global rules EXPLICITLY prohibit this. However, it HAS been an inordinate amount of years during which you didn't exist here. So I'm going to remove your restriction from the RP forums - but if you so much as break even a fraction of any of our rules, you're getting launched out of here for good.

Got it, I'll try to do my best

Merge'd ^^

The rules are a bit more lax for specific important NPCs than they are for player character. They can still have only one mega evolution and it must be their key pokemon as it were - and they would only use this sort of power when a situation truly calls for it.

Established NPCs who canonically have a mega evolution capable Pokemon in their team (i.e. Korrina, Steven, Wulfric if the anime counts) are, of course, allowed to have theirs. Ones who don't or non-established NPCs.. you should probably run those as an organized list by me anyway, though they are more likely to be approved with less detail requirement than player characters do.

My bad, we normally don't allow names starting in 'special' characters for similar reasons but I must have approved the name-change while running on semi-automatic.

I did a rewind on your name change - you're back to being Swirled (just 'Soul' is unfortunately already taken). Feel free to change it again when your name change limit expires.

Thank you

Ye gods, does no one read the actual warnings...
The problem wasn't that you posted something "someone else already did" - it was that you posted something made with a doll-maker type application, as that's not allowed on the corner. ^^

Ohhhhh also I'm only 11 and well I'm kinda bad a t reading lol

There aren't any, the rules regarding legendaries apply only to the RP boards~

PrincessPika is correct, although she is also overstepping her non-existent authority and should let actual staff members answer the questions of members rather than mini-mod.

oh, ok

Well that's a bit of a situation, then... And I'm actually not sure what to say. Obviously, other players can't force a kill on your character as that would be technically considered autoing - and you can't really neutralize any of them specifically and make a break for it because that would be autoing THEM.

What you - and the other RPers - need to do is actually communicate and discuss this matter among yourselves and actually figure out a solution. What RP even IS this?

Hypothetical, but thanks for letting me know.

Yeah, I mostly meant just talking about it or using it as a point of mention in dialogue, or within the lore of an RP. I was just curious.

Until the games are released, Galar and anything related to it may not be used in RPs, as anything you might have on the region is speculation and/or partial information which may be contradicted thoroughly by canon.

Okay. Thanks for the clarification.

I'm not sure what Hazbin Hotel is, but excessive violence and/or gore for the hurr-durr-lol-random is best kept to other communities.

@Philucifer you're wrong. in hazbin hotel there are massacres because of overpopulation.

RP settings do not work like the games do. Pokedex completion does not require catching Pokemon (Pokedex entry writing would actually likely be the job of legitimate researchers rather than dumb children doing unpaid labour), and the average trainer is unlikely to ever encounter an actual legendary pokemon in their entire life, let alone actually catch one. So yeah, no.

Okay, thank you for the feedback

afraid so. you might have to recreate them in a more simple form, but game screenshots are still not your work.

So a direct copy is off-limits, but a recreation would be alright?

in this case yeah.

Edited bases are a bit of a grey area in the RP forums - although I'd say that the same rule regarding bases in the Creative Corner should apply - so long as the edits are yours and you provide a link to the original base as posted by its original creator, they should be okay.

Awesome, thanks!

I've had that question asked before, and the answer is typically that in order to mimic something, pokemon like Zorua usually need to have encountered it before, which suggests a previous encounter with said Legendary. Such an encounter wasn't approved and so this really should not be done.

Mimicry of such from an impression or stories or second-hand accounts would likely to be inaccurate and not really fool anyone.

I understand. Thank you for taking the time to answer my silly little question.

That is exactly what it is, yes. I put it together Several Billion Years Ago when the Meet the Team videos were still slowly materializing and it amused the everloving frell out of me, so I kept it. xD

Done. ^^

Ah, I see. To be honest, I'm not really one for small talk either, not because I don't have the time, I simply feel a long chat is a good way to relieve stress. Regarding your dislike for small talk on forums, I totally agree. They are meant for roleplay! Not off-topic chit-chat!

Well, the RP boards are meant for roleplay, obviously other boards have their own purposes. But I get what you mean. XD

Haha ^^

Essentially - age is no excuse for bad behaviour, but I've seen young children whom we've had no problems with at all and grown adults that couldn't stop getting in trouble and had to be launched. Depends on the person and their behaviour. ^^

Ok thx

I was worried since I read the rules

Among what things?

Among the multitude of other things I do. Is there a point to this?

I just want to know the admins. better? That`s all.

I read the rules but didn’t notice the present tense part

And I thought it would be fine since I don’t have a mega stone

Thank you!

Typically it's whatever staff member sees the request first and has the time to handle it and usually it doesn't take all that long unless we're all unavailable for a wider stretch of time.

Either way I approved yours now that I saw it. ^^

Ah, thanks Stellar! ^^

Profile pictures aren't as restricted as many other things are - the main rule honestly is the bounds of good taste. Remember, however, that some artists for instance do not like their stuff being used without their permission - and if we receive a complaint or find an avatar by a particular artist who is known to not permit use of their work, we will remove it. ^^

@StellarWind Elsydeon Good to know. Thanks!

I kinda am still waiting a response on this, as I do want to create more stories and post them here, but I'm unsure on what levels of violence and gore should be avoided.

I'm honestly not sure what to respond with. I'd say that if the degree of gore and/or violence is high enough for you to warrant asking that then maybe it's best saved for AO3 or something instead? <<

Well XD Yea, that's a thing. But I do have an idea of how much I'm willing to show. I won't do things like torture, but I'm talking about something being eaten alive in some graphic detail, but probably not to the point of detailing what organs the creatures are eating. xD

You might want to read the RP forum rules - and our global rules in general - before posting anything. I had to remove your attempted thread because aside from the use of art that is not yours and the fact that you're essentially trying to put together a tabletop game in a decisively not-tabletop environment... Yeah.

ah, gotcha. thanks for your time.
