As many of you know, some websites are just not good to join. As I find them, I'll list them off here for your own protection.
I hadn't become aware of this site until recently, due to a friend, who is also a user here.
Now, it looked like a nice site at first, with pretty nifty feutures. It was nice, a fun game to play, and the rules seemed easy enough to follow.
However...
A particular admin nor the rules never encouraged respect. Actually, it was the exact opposite.
I'm not stating names here, as it is rather rude, but said admin, and later another, decided to belittle this friend of mine just because my friend pointed out a mistake they had made on a trivia game.
It was a bit later on that a regular user of the site expressed that the admin in question was always moody, but it was hard to deal with the admin because of the position they had. It was also stated that all good roleplays were secretly managed by this admin, who possibly couldn't care less about people's feelings according to a small amount of research I made myself.
If you ever do join that site, I recommend you stay away from the forums. Maybe just play a little, but stay as far as you can from that place. I don't encourage people going to places where they will be treated like thrash by the owners, or at least one.
UPDATE: The other admin, the one who slightly belittled my friend, went off and made a slight 'apology' to my friend. From what I have seen on the rest of the site, the admin who apologized was the admin who really didn't insult others, but didn't really stop the admin in question from belittling other users. Also, the admin who apologized was the founder, and the one who has yet to do so only did a part of the site.
I don't know if they like each other or not, but someone like that should NOT be allowed to remain on the admin position, no matter how much you like them.
Even if owner admin apologized, it doesn't change the fact that the other has not, and it also doesn't change the fact that the other admin still has some things up that could be considered harassment against my friend.
There's also the issue that the admin I am worried about never fixes their behaviour, nor tries to, and doesn't care about lugging their authority around for all to see.
If you ever join the site, just.. stay away from the forums, I don't encourage it.

Site by the two Admins of the previous mentioned, PokéBattlers. The same issue remains. Other than the fact that they stole much of GPX+'s concept, layout, etc, the Admin in question still has not learned. There may be a change of name, but not a change of attitude. The person IS trying to change, but doing very badly at it.
The game is fun, but mostly a copy of GPX+, although it has its features.
The two admins there, though, have issues with weilding the hand of power, although the programmer is a bit better.
Posting in the forums in a way that can be taken badly by the admins will usually result in a ban, punishment, warning, or generally getting trolled.
*UPDATE* You may be pleased to know that the site is no longer running due to the fact that it had to move and out of the lack of users who moved with it, it slowly died. It sort of also died because of the fact that most users were afraid to post in the forums because of the Admin I mentioned below*
