Rules

Most of these rules are just your general TCG etiquette, and should really be a given for any game. The breaking of these rules can result in suspension, deletion, and in extreme cases an IP ban. Please read through these rules before joining and make sure that you understand them completely. Thank you!

• NO CHEATING! It's easy and can be tempting to cheat on some of the games here, but please be considerate and play fair. Only take cards that are given to you on the prize pages, and please don't abuse the system by refreshing the page. We CAN tell when a page is refreshed and what cards are handed out by our card randomizers. If we happen to check and catch you cheating, we have the right to terminate your membership.
• Joining our forums is optional, but if you do decide to join please be courteous to the other members there. DON'T double post; If you need to fix or add something to your previous post and there are no posts after yours, simply click the edit button and change whatever you need. Forum rules can be found here.
• You must have a website to showcase your cards so that other members can see them and trade with you. Community/Social websites such as MySpace and FaceBook are NOT acceptable (LiveJournal and sites with a similar structure are the only exceptions). If you need free web hosting, we recommend checking out webs, bravenet, and awardspace. If you need a place to upload your cards, PhotoBucket offers a great free image hosting service.
• Keep track of your total card worth somewhere visible on your site. This is because gym badges (and consequently, levels) are affected by your card worth.
• Keep a detailed log of where you are earning all of your cards. This includes cards earned from participating in our activities, trades with other members, level ups, and etc.
• Have your site ready and your starter pack up within a week of joining the TCG. Please email us back to let us know when you're done. Once we receive your email and see that your site is up and running, you will be removed from the pending list and set at Level 1, as well as receive two extra random cards for remembering to tell us. Pending members are REMOVED after a week of no activity, so if you will need more than a week to get your site ready, let us know in the comment section of the join form.
• Log in at least once a month (to show that you're active). Members who have not logged in within the past month will be moved to the inactive members list. To change your status back to active, simply log in and go to Settings in the member panel menu. If you need a break, are going on vacation, or some other condition will keep you from being active, you can change your status to hiatus manually through the member panel (again, go to Settings).
• Link back to MissingNO (http://missingno.ka-blooey.net) to help us grow! :) If you'd like to use a banner or button to link back, you can choose one here.
• Don't direct link images (cards, items, banners, etc). Images must be uploaded to your own server or free server such as Photobucket.
• Update Freebies are up for grabs as long as they're still on the first page! PLEASE do not take freebies from any older updates.
