1. No Mature Content
While the creations thread are slightly more lenient on their rules then in the main rules, they are still content that must be avoided. Unlike the main forum rules, where the content is PG13, any artwork here is posted with its own rating system. The publisher of a Thread must name the thread with "PG-13", "PG-16" or "PG-18" in their thread. Anything not labeled will show that you have not read the rules, and the thread will be deleted and you will receive a warning through PM's, even if there is nothing else wrong with your thread. Anything that is considered "PG-R" are restricted from the forums, and can result in a ban if posted.
The Following things to avoid include, but not limited to:
* Sexual Content - Do NOT post ANYTHING sexual ANYWHERE in these forums.
* Discrimination - Do NOT Harass someone because of Religion, Gender, Race, Etc.

2. Do Not Post Works of Others
Do NOT post any artwork or stories that do not belong to you, even if given permission by the original arthur. Never post anything that you do not own yourself, and do not post artwork of others claiming it to be your own. If we find out, the post will be deleted and you will be given a Ban and account Warning. Don't risk it and don't post anything that isn't yours. Be safe with your account and don't do anything stupid that might get you into trouble with copyright. This is your one and only warning on the subject.
3. Respect and Critique
Please give the people who post their artwork respect while critiquing their artwork, it takes a lot of courage to post their work online for everyone to see, and I expect to see respectful criticism while people post on these forums. Anything that can be considered flaming or disrespectful will be removed and the person will be giving a warning on Flaming. Repeat offenses will result in an eventual ban. People who post their work on here must also be free to criticism while the post. Listen to what people have to say about your artwork and remember that not every comment that is negative instantly is disrespectful and full of flaming. Take a moment and read the comment someone has given you before needlessly reporting them, it might end up making you a better artiest or writer.
4. Reporting Creations and Comments
While we do enjoy the help with reporting material so we can remove or edit it before it can get out of hand, please keep in mind that reporting something merely for spite will often get you punished. If there is nothing wrong with the comment or creation, and you report it for no apparent reason, then you will receive a warning. Repeat offenses will result in a ban.
5. Enjoy Yourselves
This thread is suppose to be for fun, and to enjoy yourself. If your not feeling like you are enjoying yourself in the fan creation page, then you don't need to post here. Its only for people who want to post their artwork and show off their love of Pokemon by expressing themselves though an artistic fashion. If you feel the need to harass someone because their "artwork sucks!" or "they suck at writing!", then I suggest you don't view these forums. Attitudes like that will not only hurt the person you are commenting about, but it will also more than likely end up getting your account banned. Please enjoy yourselves while in these forums, but not at the expense of another persons enjoyment.
