You have been warned for breaking the rules.

Pokémon Showdown Rules
Global

1. Be nice to people. Respect people. Don't be rude or mean to people.

2. Follow US laws (PS is based in the US). No porn (minors use PS), don't distribute pirated material, and don't slander others.

3. No sex. Don't discuss anything sexually explicit, not even in private messages, not even if you're both adults.

4. No cheating. Don't exploit bugs to gain an unfair advantage. Don't game the system (by intentionally losing against yourself or a friend in a ladder match, by timerstalling, etc). Don't impersonate staff if you're not.

5. Moderators have discretion to punish any behaviour they deem inappropriate, whether or not it's on this list. If you disagree with a moderator ruling, appeal to a leader (a user with & next to their name) or Discipline Appeals.

(Note: The First Amendment does not apply to PS, since PS is not a government organization.)

Chat

1. Do not spam, flame, or troll. This includes advertising, raiding, asking questions with one-word answers in the lobby, and flooding the chat such as by copy/pasting logs in the lobby.

2. Don't call unnecessary attention to yourself. Don't be obnoxious. ALL CAPS and formatting are acceptable to emphasize things, but should be used sparingly, not all the time.

3. No minimodding: don't mod if it's not your job. Don't tell people they'll be muted, don't ask for people to be muted, and don't talk about whether or not people should be muted ("inb4 mute", etc). This applies to bans and other punishments, too.

4. We reserve the right to tell you to stop discussing moderator decisions if you become unreasonable or belligerent.

5. English only, unless specified otherwise.

(Note: You can opt out of chat rules in private chat rooms and battle rooms, but only if all ROs or players agree to it.)
