DO NOT!
These are the things you should NOT do at the Pokemon Universe Forums.

    * Advertise. You are not allowed to advertise other forums, websites and chats on the forums.
    * Necromancing. (Reviving threads that haven't been posted in in a long time) Please don't necro threads which have died long time ago, unless you got something good to add to the discussions and get life back in it.
    * Don't do ANYTHING illegal.. You are not allowed to post; warez, NOCD patches, cracks or bittorrent links on the forums. Child porn is prohibited and will be reported to the authorities.

    * Talk about warnings or infractions in the forum, you should only talk about between the Moderator who gave you the warning/infraction.



IRC Rules

    * No posting advertisements to other chats, we don't wanna visit your chansey chat so don't bother us about it, nor will we bother you. You can post it if an Operator says yes.
    * No posting links to other websites unless it's just for humor, images...etc does not count as those tends to be funny anyway, at least sometimes.
    * You are not allowed to be a complete dickwad towards the other members or towards any of the staff members of Pokemon Universe.
    * Do not try to ban evade, we know it's you, if you try to evade your ban then you will be reported to the Rizon IRC Ops and might face a server-wide ban from Rizon.
    * Please refrain from posting what you are listening to, unless it's something completely awesome, not everyone really cares what you are listening too, well, someone might do it but not all of us.
    * No attention whoring or drama in the channel! Please keep this in queries or something like that.
    * Don't share warez links in the IRC channel, if you want to do this then do so in the queries instead.
    * Don't engage in holy wars of any kind. For instance, "vi vs emacs" or "java vs python" or "windows vs linux", or "democrats vs libertarians" or "chocolate vs peanut butter".



Administrative Actions
This is what happens if you are found breaking our rules!

    * You will first be warned if there is only a minor issue, it's just to tell you "Oopsie, you did something wrong, please don't do it again.
    * If it keeps on you will end up with Infractions and Warning Points, these are a bit worse and that means you are in the danger zone and you should start behaving.
    * If you still keep on acting like a smartass you will be temp banned from the forums, this means you will not be able to post on the forums until the temp ban is over.
    * Next time there are no warnings, you will just get infractions if you keep on after getting unbanned, if that doesn't help you will end up with a permanent ban! That means you will not be able to come back to the forums, however, if the admin/mod who bans you is in a good mood you might just end up with another temp ban.
    * If you try to evade a temp ban it will be upgraded to a permanent ban. If you try to evade an already permanent ban we will up it up to a complete IP ban, if you keep on after that we will report you to your ISP for harassment and abuse.
    * If you spam or act like an ass in the IRC channel you will be warned the first time, continue and you get kicked, the next kick will include a 10 minute ban, and if it continues after that you will be thrown out with a 2 hour ban, continue after that and you're chanseyed because we will permanently IP Range ban you from our IRC channel.

All changes i have made will be highlighted.

I'll write a set of ventrilo rules if you're thinking about getting ventrilo.

Stephenkill2 has just started a war that he will probably win due to the fact that he is staff.

For updates on the war look in any thread i post in, and then look at how stephen edits my post.

Taze, no one should take advice from your trolling lips any day, as it will most likely lead to death or banhammer.

Taze's Protips on being a douchebag:

1.) Troll on everything and anything.

2.) Change your name to something lame, like taze.

3.) have a picture of hitler jamming out.

4.)Spam the forums until everyone is pissed, like so.

5.) Congratulations, now you  act just like meZ!

Seeing as though windows 7 was my idea, i would say PC

Taze's Protips to beating campers:

1.)  Get a good headset.  I picked up a 75$ pair from tiger direct for 30$!!!!

2.) Blast the volume to the point where your eardrums will shatter, then turn it down some

3.)  Run around like you have a huge f'in wang and your trying to stuff it down everyone throat.

4.)  Take a 50cal and rip the scope off and make an iron site using some duct tape.  Also, try attaching a ferret to the barrel of the gun.  This will lower the recoil so you can spray and pray like the scrub you are.

5.) Now, throw away that controllor and hook up a mouse and keyboard to your console of choice

6.) Bind shoot to every key on the keyboard except for what you have bound to movement and ect.

over9000.) Slap your wang all over the keyboard, even though most of you will only hit 2 keys at once.

8.) Lean back (your still slapping the keyboard) and watch campers heads explode in shear amazement.

9.) Profit
