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.
