Speaking of vBulletin, are there any plans to change to a better software package, like XenForo or something? It might make the forum look more aesthetically pleasing. I'm aware that the newest version of vBulletin is bad, which I'm assuming is why we're still using VB4?

Xena: Since you posted that in August, is it still doing it? I think someone was working on it at the time.
xDIRCIOx: That is what the FAQ thread is for, doesn't mean they always use it:

It's still going on, try opening serebii in an incognito tab or whatever other browsers call it
Lol literally 4 years inactive. Does the 30 day innactive rule not apply to stickied threads?
idk i read that forum's rules and it doesnt really make it clear that there is a general faq. having specific questions threads where new users will see them (assuming they all head to this forum first) will reduce the spam from new question threads while allowing new users to actually get help. I remember asking a dumb question about competitive battling when i was new and it was closed instantly. I wouldve appreciated better help back then and would feel bad for someone in my situation now since that section is pretty much dead

I guess not. I'll bring it up with the rest of staff.
The FAQ is in the newbie sub-forum. If they can't find it, they won't find any additional FAQ threads. But maybe we can work on making it more visible.

I'm an old member, whom just got busy with his personal life, but still enjoys the casual Pokemon playing, I came on here just to look a few things up today and I noticed a lot of pink Celebi's on the outer Threads. Maybe getting rid of the Threads that have Pink more than a certain amount of time...just a suggestion. :]

MAHINA-PEEEAAA!!!
is it possible that non-stickied threads no one posted in for longer than 2 months automatically get locked?

@ kill and run - no
@ vanillite1 - I don't think so, but I could be wrong. Right now, mods/staff do all the thread locking.
@ xDIRCIOx - We do come around and close threads (at least in some sub-forums), but it may not be exactly 60 days (as per the rule change).

That's ridiculous that you get a warning for posting in the wrong place.
What if it was an accident? Do these mods not care at all? Feels like it.
They make it seem like we purposely did this or something. How silly.
Like just move my comment to the appropriate section or ask nicely for me to delete it. It's not hard to do.
I certainly dont need a warning for that. It's called an accident. How about instead of giving the person a warning, you give them a link and help direct them.
I'm not very happy about this, and I hope they fix the way they do this.

No it's not. You only got a warning. Warnings are to help keep you from getting infractions. As a member of this forum you are expected to have read the rules.
These quotes are directly from the rules thread: http://www.serebiiforums.com/showthread.php?397567-Serebii-Forums-Rules
• Being new does not give you a temporary immunity to the rules.
• If you wish to contest an infraction or complain about a member or moderator, contact a SuperModerator or an Admin. Don't make threads to whine about it, that doesn't help or solve anything.
• Remember that receiving infractions or warnings does not equal the end of the world or that you're going to be banned. You need 15 pts to get a week ban, which is a lot. The infractions also mostly expire after 45 days.
17. Don't ask about or discuss banned users or their bans.
This applies to infractions as well. Punishments are between the user in question and the staff. Don't talk about bans, don't ask about bans, and don't be the middleman for a banned user. Banned people can post in the staff contact forum if they have any questions.

If you're going to delete someone's thread and move its contents, please tell them.
Don't leave them in the dark, thinking they never posted it, or that an error occurred. An inbox message would be nice.
Don't be turds, guys. Be cool. Thanks. ☺

Ok, As Ex staff here, If we were to move the thread, you will still get replies from that thread, Normally. Most Links will still work. Also, We often have a option to create a link to where it's moved within the old forum. This can set to Auto-delete after a time set by the Mod who set it.
If a staff member chooses to delete a thread, We usually have a very good reason to remove it. This is usually spam, or a post/thread that is breaking the rules and you're technically replying to spam and you can get an infraction for. The Original Poster usually has the ability to delete their thread, and there is very little staff can do about it. When I was staff, I only really deleted Spam.
