Sorry, I was too busy to remember to post the rules. lol
But anyway, HERE are the real rules you got to follow:
Regarding Chatspeak: None of us want to see something like this, honestly. If you want to role-play, then try to use proper English, so that people can understand you in your RPG, which helps avoid confusion among RP'ers.
God-Modding/Power-Playing: God-Modding/Power-Playing is when one RP'er takes control over another's character, as in making them do something without the other player's permission. True, in some cases, it may be necessary for little god-modding to be done for the sake of plot moving along, but in that case it should only be done by the Game Master (GM) or Co-Owner, if your RPG's got one, that is.
Mary Sue/Gary Stu/Uber Perfect Man/mon: Mary Sue/Gary Stu is a term referring to a character that is perfect in everyway, or in the case of a Digimon RPG, a fan-made Digimon that's unbeatable, even if he's a Child/Rookie level and the opponent is a Mega/Ultimate level. Can you guess the reason most RP'ers hate this? No one wants some 'Little Miss or Mister Perfect' that can do no wrong. A character has to have flaws, but on the opposite, a character shouldn't have too many flaws either.
Plagiarism: Or, stealing someone else's work/ideas. This is probably one of the most important rules to Role-Playing. Don't steal the ideas of someone else's RPG or Fanfic or whatever! I've seen a lot of this before the downtime, and quite frankly, it's just sad, because it shows that the GM who made it has little to no creativity at all...
OOC: "OOC" means "out of character" or "out of context". Using it indicates that the poster is saying something not directly inside the game. For example,

What if someone agreed for you to use their idea as long as you gave credit?

Then its okay. But, I got something to add, so, Warrior of Wind, listen up! Sign up sheets are just as important as RPG posts and plots, without a good sign up sheet other members do not have a clear image of how your character acts, looks and feels, in order to know this, your sign up must meet good standards, this means plenty of description so that members know how to act around your character. I don’t ask much, just around four or five lines with proper grammar and good description. Now don’t get me wrong, I am not putting the entire blame on the members who sign up, some of the blame also goes to the game master who accepts such sigh ups, so it works both ways really: I ask that the member who sign’s up, give a proper sign up, not four words long for each section, as an example I have prepared the below sheets so that it is easier for some of you to understand…compare this: Example one Name: rachel Age: 16 Gender: female Description: tall. long hair and wears black. Personality: cold. nasty and angry History: parents died when she was ten Other: none To this: Example two Name: Rachel Age: 16 Gender: Female Description: Rachel stands at around 5’1 and has a slim frame, which appears toned and slightly tanned, but not overly so. She has emerald green eyes which are normally obscured by many strands of chocolate coloured hair, seeing would be hard to her if a pair of black sun glasses were not lain atop her head to keep the unruly strands at bay. She wears a long sleeved, black crop top, accompanied by a pair of baggy black trousers, which tuck themselves into large boots at her feet; most of her frame is covered by a large trench coat which reaches just past her ankles. Around her neck is a silver pendant, which takes the form of a Dragon. Personality: Rachel is serious in her battles and a hard nut to crack, she does not fool around when it means there is a battle to be won, instead she concentrates fully on the battle at hand, determined to win and bring her enemies to their knees, but of course, she is a good sport, and a loss is a loss, she can only learn from her mistakes. A good friend and powerful ally, she is a member worth having on any team, but her friendship is hard to gain, and her trust harder still. History: Rachel has lived along side her parents for as long as she can remember, like any other normal teenager, she attended school, sat exams and had to endure the nightmare known as homework. When a letter arrived for her mentioning the beginning of a Pokemon journey, she could not help but take up the offer and make her way to pallet town after bidding her mother and father a goodbye and informing her college that she would be taking a year out to complete her journey. Other: Rachel dealt with an unfortunate event when she was younger, which included water. Out at sea in a boat with her brother, they were attacked by a Gyarados and the boar was pulled under to deep depths. She made it out alive thanks to the help of her brothers Seal, but her brother met an unfortunate end. Rachel has been terrified of water ever since, but keeps her brothers Seal close by. Now not only does (fairly good) grammar make it look nicer and makes it easier to understand, but cant you make out a lot more about my character through the second example than you can from the first? Four lines and good description is all it takes, please try your best. And if you don't, yes, don't RP. At all.
