It is not permitted to use names from TV-series, books, movies, games and suchlike. Neither is it permitted to use names of known and famous people. This holds for names in all languages. For example, it is not permitted to name your character Thomas Edison or Teresa Agnes.
It is also not allowed to have exactly the same first- and last name as a MoM or HM of the WoX sites. If you pick such a name, the Infection Screening Team will message you and you'll get the possibility to change it.
You always need to keep a respectful tone on World of Gladers - both in the topics, as well as in Instant Messages and posts. Real Life bullying in topics is also not allowed unless arranged by all involved parts with everyone keeping a realistic attitude towards the situation. If it's agreed upon then add an OOG message saying that you have all agreed upon it. We will not tolerate the bullying of other users on site. All cases of bullying will be dealt with appropriately and could lead to the expulsion of users from World of Gladers.
It is not allowed to use names from the books or movies due to copyright infringement (goes for names in every language The Maze Runner translates to). Name mixing is allowed to an extent.
For example, it is acceptable for a user to use the first name from the books and a different last name and vice versa, but mixing names like Teresa Paige or Aris Agnes is unacceptable.
Using the names of celebrities is accepted but only if the name is not exactly the same as the actual celebrity (e.g. using Tom Hiddleston instead of Thomas William Hiddleston). However, if you are to use a celebrity name you cannot use the face of the said celebrity as well.
It is against the rules to copy any codes you may find on World of Gladers United or any other World of - X site.

It is not allowed to roleplay as other characters other than your own.
You are allowed to keep NPCs (Non-Playing Character) as supporting characters.
A supporting character is a person or creature with a minor role, who can be controlled by everyone in the topic. For instance, a bartender, a soldier from W.I.C.K.E.D and so on. These have to be viewed through your character.
You can only roleplay as another person if the plot-team has given you a specific role in an ongoing plot. In that case, you need to inform about this when you enter a topic. NPCs and other roles must not be other users from the page or persons from the books.
