Forum Rules and Management (Updated 10/6/2009)

With this forum's popularity increasing rapidly, I think it's about time some ground rules were laid out here.

1. No spamming. This is pretty simple. I don't mind going slightly off-topic in a thread, but don't post a bunch of nonsense that nobody can understand or is totally out of place.

2. No flaming. This is another easy one. Don't insult others. I don't care oif everybody thinks one person's theory is stupid; disprove it with discussion and don't resort to name calling.

3. No memberating. Reenee is the moderator here. Not you. Let us do our jobs the way we see fit.

4. No cross-posting. Don't post the same topic you post here in Soul Silver. You're only aggravating those who visit both forums and you're just making yourself look like you're doing it for the extra tally on your post count.

5. No advertising. Simple. Don't just drop a link to Smogon, Serebii, or another site to help someone out. Explain what the link is so we'll know how it's supposed to be beneficial.

6. Keep your language mild. This game is going to be E-rated, so make sure your language reflects an environment that's acceptable for younger visitors. I don't mind one or two little things slipping past every once in a while, but don't make a regular habit of it.

Note that these rules are in addition to the forumwide rules and terms of service.
