PokéDiscuss Forum Rules
Created and maintained by: Shining Zorua
1. You have to take care and be responsible with your account. Do not give out your password to anybody, not your brother, sister, cousin, parents-- nobody. If they post things that are against the rules on your account you will be held liable, not them you. Saying it wasn't you is not an excuse, own up and take the consequences.
2. Your not allowed multiple accounts, this can lead us to believe that you are trying to evade a ban which is also against the rules (see number three,) However, if you do have a shared computer and you have a sibling that wants to register contact a Super Moderator so they know who will have same IPs as others.
3. Do not spam. Simple as that. Posting things with low quality is considered spamming. Post like this in the Wi-Fi Center is an example. "Uh, yeah I need so and so and I'll give a so and so, K?" You need to have high quality posts! Posts like this are good, "I'm currently looking for this Pokemon and I am willing to trade this one, this one, or this one. If you have a Pokemon in mind tell me so I can see if I have it," is good!
4. Use proper spelling and grammar, posts that are hard to read will be considered spam and deleted along with adding warning points to your account. We like to see our users with proper grammar!
5. Do not ask to be modded! There is an application, find it submit it. Simple as that! Asking to be modded is a good way, well, not to be modded.
6. Don't revive dead topics. This means don't post in topics from six months ago. There is one exception to this rule, that is: If you have some new critical information that is important you may then post in that thread. Old threads are usually locked, so don't think you'll be able to post a lot.
7. Don't "Mini-Mod," I hate this. People who say "Oh you shouldn't be doing that, its against the rules," are mini-modding. If you see a post doing that please report it! We'll deal with the user and post!
8. Don't abuse the reporting system. This means don't submit false reports or don't submit 40 reports for the same post/topic. Its irritating and will lead to warning points, or a ban in some cases.
9. Be respectful to all members and staff, this is a must! Cussing at members or staff will automatically get your banned! Simple as that, end of discussion.
10. Be sure to follow all specific forum rules. Each forum has their own set of rules for you to follow, these rules are the guidelines to posting in them. Break the rule, your post will be locked and/or deleted.
11. Do not post inappropriate content. This means no downloads containing viruses, anything that could harm a computer, anything that can harm minors in anyway, meaning pornography.
12. Do not repeatedly curse! Some cursing is allowed, not a lot. Every now and then you can say Damn, but not any other word.
The staff expect you to behave, we are not your friends.
