The Rules(All members must read before posting)
Admin Thu Apr 03, 2008 7:09 am
Spamming
There are many different kinds of spamming. Those kinds include:
Double Posting- posting after your own message.
To prevent this you can edit your posts by using edit button in the top right of your posts.
Flooding- Posting mass messages one after another either being separate threads or posts in a single or multiple threads.
Do not flood, you will be banned
Duplicate Threads- Threads that have already been created by you or another member
Use existing threads instead.
Going off topic- Posting content not related to the thread’s purpose.
Stay on topic by posting things that relate to the thread and its discussion
Short posts- This includes one liners such as, “Yeah”, “ZOMG I know, right?”
Create longer posts with more girth so that you look more sophisticated and to create more discussion.
Foreign Languages- Posting in another language other than english
If you speak a different language other than english, please contact the Admin so they can make a thread in that language, we don't want anyone to feel left out.
Flaming
Flaming other members will result in a ban. Do not do it.
Ex/ Member 1: My favorite Pokemon is Zapdos because it has a great movepool and its speed is delicious
Member 2: Zapdos sucks wang chops, are you thinking straight? Motres is the best you homo.
Report flaming if you see it occurring please, do not membrate, which is the next topic.
Membrating
Membrating is the attempt to act like a moderator. If you do not moderate the forum, do not request thread close of others threads. You may only request closure for your own threads.
Ex/ Member 1: I LOVE POKEMON THEY ROCK MY WORLD!
Member 2: Do not spam! Requesting the closure of this thread. Stop duplicating your threads and don’t do this again!
Again, report those you see doing this please.
Advertising
Feel free to Advertise things in Your Signature or posts, just Don't overdo it. also, make sure the Advertisements Do not break any of the phpBB Rules.
Ex/Member 1: Guys, you should see this (link)
Emulator and Rom Discussions
These are not allowed. I don’t feel the need to give an example. Simply put: If it’s not on the DS and isn’t a store bought Pokemon Diamond/Pearl game, it’s not allowed to be discussed.
Adult Content
Please note that this forum is Family friendly and will not tolerate Pornography and Similar, this Forum is for all ages and we expect Older members to accept this.
Grammar and Other Posting Issues
Good grammar is expected to be used at all times when posting. It is expected you use as much correct spelling as you’re capable. As well as grammatically readable posts, the colors you post in also matter. You should post so that you aren’t straining the eyes of others.
Ex/ Member 1: Pokemon has really made a leap in the graphics department of the game.
Another problem is the using of smileys. You’re allowed to use them, but do not abuse them by using a lot of them in a row.
Ex/ Member 1: Tyranitar’s move pool is great because he can learn dragon dance.
Also, do not create long obnoxious thread titles.
Ex/ Member 1’s Thread Title: HELP ME PLEASE I’M STUCK IN THE GAME AND I DON’T KNOW WHERE TO GO!!!!!!!????????!
Rate my Team/Build my Team Threads
I now want all RMT threads to have the prefix [RMT] in their title, and any Build My Threads (see later) with the prefix [BMT]. Rate My Team threads need to have 6 Pokémon (or less, depending on what team we’re dealing with) with EV-spreads, natures and moves. A Build My Team is where you can ask as to what should be placed in your team. For a BMT, you only need as much as a center and a general direction of what you had in mind.
Games
As you may have noticed, we mainly didn’t allow game threads. This is mainly to prevent useless threads that consist of nothing but spam and/or have no place in this forum. This is what we’ll allow (you must still ask permission, though. Although we’ll probably allow it):
Who’s That Pokémon
Who wants to be a … Millionaire
Role-Playing threads
Bumping
Bumping is generally frowned upon, but because of the pace at which this forum moves, it’s necessary at times. That’s why we’ll allow limited bumping, but only if the thread is less than 1 week old. Afterwards, if the topic continues, we’ll delete or merge your bump post. Of course, you can also do it completely different. Just go to edit, copy your message, delete the post and reply the exact same message. No harm done there.
This does not apply to discussion threads. Those can be bumped up with new discussion.
Taking Action
When you see a problem with a member or two, either PM the moderators: (none as of yet).
Educational help
If anyone on the forum would like help with thier homework and such, you may be free to PM an older member for an explanation, we're not allowed to give the answers away, that would be cheating.
Fun
Abiding by all these rules and having fun is highly valued, we hope you enjoy the Forum and may your time here be a pleasant one.
