Very simple RULES

[Fox]

1. No new threads requesting friend codes
2. No new threads about what you have for trade
3. No new threads asking people which starter they'll choose
4. No polls asking about favorites or such
5. No new threads about clubs, guilds, clans, leagues, etc.
6. No new threads telling people that you just got:

-a new pokemon
-diamond or pearl
-got a new badge​

It's also getting to the point where I'll just close all threads with "Poll: " in the front of the title without even reading them. This forum is not Pokepolls.

Also, these rules are in ADDITION to the rules already posted in this forum.

New news, old threads.
You know what? You can post new news in existing threads. Actually, that's what you should be doing, rather than cluttering this forum with new threads. All discussion of new Pokemon and any new information regarding them goes here. They don't each receive separate threads. Their types don't receive separate threads. Their evolutions don't receive separate threads.

This thread is for all things Team Galaxy. Their grunts and leaders don't receive separate threads. Their purpose doesn't receive a separate threads.

You should get the idea.

Rules - You know you love them.
About time this section got some rules laid down for you guys to read and follow. They're reasonable, they're simple, and they need to be followed. Don't worry though, there are only a few, so make sure you read up on them.

------------
Rules.
------------​

• Make sure your topic is in the right place.

A lot of times, I see topics that are asking for the opinion of two Pokémon, asking what members prefer. Don't post those here. They go in Poképolls. If you're unsure of where your topic goes, PM a moderator of the D/P sections, and we'll be able to tell you.​

• Discussion of individual Pokémon goes in the sticky.

Want to talk about the moves, EV's, general look, or anythign else regarding a specific Pokémon? There's a sticky for it. Post it there.​

• Minimodding.

Seems to me that this is rather rampant in this section. It's nice to know that you guys want to help out and all, but preaching about how a topic should be closed isn't helping us, or anyone else. The best you can do is use the report button. Make sure you do.​

-------------------​

Told you there aren't many, and that they're simple. These rules are subject to change at any point, so make sure you keep an eye out for any of those, and if you have any problems with these rules, PM a moderator of the D/P sections, preferably myself or Ninjit, and we'll explain things to you the best we can.

Thanks,
~Josh

Can I make a point to people that they need to read the first post of every thread that is stickied, I've seen way too many peopel disregard rules in those threads that have been made very clear. Several members have already been banned because of this, in order to stop it happening to you, make sure you read the entire thread before posting, and pay special attention to the first post!!

Is asking for a trade against the rules in this part of the forum? Not like, "I got such-and-such to trade, who wants to?" but rather "Could someone trade a such-and-such with me?"

 

[Virtual Headache]

There is actually a trading forum for that.
