CRMT Forum Rules - updated October 10th, 1007

All other forum rules apply to here as well.

1. Flaming/bashing/trying to piss people off will not be tolerated.
"...wtf are you crazy!??!?! putting -INSERT MOVE HERE- on -INSERT POKEMON HERE- ?!?!?!?! And those EVs man, are you drunk? You suck really... do you ahve any idea what CoMpEtItIvE battling is!?!? Youre a stupid dumb a.ss. You are banned from the thread...LOLZ!!!!!!!"

"Excuse me, I know what Im doing. I beat -INSERT PERSON HERE- on Netbattle and my Wurmple totally PwNeD the Elite 4 so shove off!"

Do this and die.

2. If someone wants to use a certain Pokemon, don`t whine and complain about it.
Ok, they want to use their fav. pokemon and request to not change it, then dont WHINE about it, let them use it. Why do you care? If its a Rattata... who cares let them get pwned. Just give the moveset, and move on. (this is limited though, don't abuse this and ask people to rate your team consisting of Pichu/Geodude/Munchlax/Jigglypuff/Machop/Wurmple)​

3. READ the first post made by the threadmaker.
If they say they can only use certain things, then don't whine about how they NEED it and you refuse to make a decent set without it. Work with what they have.​

4. Do not spam.
Think before you post please with your comments. For pitys sake at least aim for over a line of text.... You pointless messages help no one.​

5. Since this forum is for getting help with a team, don't be stubborn.
If your team consists of Torterra/Garchomp/Flygon/Gliscor/Jumpluff/Salamence, and those all happen to be your favorite Pokemon and you're dying to use them all on the same team, don't complain when you get criticized for every single Pokemon dying to an Ice move and when people tell you to use something different. You might point out rule 2 but considering this forum is for help on your team, you probably shouldn't post if you aren't willing to be flexible and accept criticism.​

6. No illegal movesets.
In other words, sharked/ARed moves and such.. don`t post them​

7. Stay on topic.
The point of this forum is to fix/improve/help teams. Not to talk about who your favorite Pokemon in the D/P generation is.​

8. No "gimme a team" threads
No one really feels like building you a whole team. If you need help choosing members, have at least 3 other Pokemon on your team with some form of a moveset that you know you`re going to use.​

9. You must at least post movesets when asking for a "rate"
"Rate my team!! -insert 6 smilies here-" or "Rate my team! -list 6 pokemon and their natures here-"

Listing 6 pokemon and asking for a rate is spam. You need to post the movesets, or else what in the world fo you want them to rate? The order in which you listed the "team" ?​

You may look up some good movesets on this thread: http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/ Select the one that best fits what your team needs.

10. Please use this standard format for posting teams:
Pokemon @ Item
Ability:
EVs:
Nature
- Attack
- Attack
- Attack
- Attack

This makes it easier for team raters to understand your post and see your team. Threads with teams not posted in this format may be closed.​

11. If you aren't knowledgeable in the subject of competitive Pokemon battling, then you should not post suggestions.
Being given bad advice and finding out it was bad after breeding a whole new team with the bad advice in mind defeats the purpose of this forum. People who frequently give bad advice will be warned and receive infraction points. I may decide to only allow certain people who I know to be qualified to make suggestions if too many people give bad advice.

12. Please post full movesets
Posting only one poke or two poke sets on one thread clutters up the forum. Please use the Complete Moveset Thread in the DP Discussion section and make a post there to save room. The thread is found here
