    Other Trivia Rules


    The Four-Word Rule

    This is one of the most ignored rules at PC. And it's an important one.

    In other words, all posts must contain AT LEAST FOUR WORDS per posts, not including character min. bypass.
    Three word posts will not do. Numbers and smilies don't count as words. Make it four words + and worthwhile, please.


    Character Minimum Bypass

    Another ignored and important rule. Other Trivia is getting worse.

    Ever tried to make a post under 24 characters long and gotten a popup message saying it's not long enough? That means your post is too short! Yet people constantly bypass with characters - e.g. exclamations marks and ones. Bypassing is putting in an offtopic message to make the post longer so it will be accepted. Yes, this counts as spamming.

    And repetitive offences will be warned.

    Report them, people!

    Example:
    ........................
    (character limit)
    *kills character limit*

    Both bypassings [four words and character limit] will be infracted with 2 points that will last for two weeks upon repetition.


    The Revival Rule

    Please refrain from posting in threads that haven't been posted in during the last 30 days.

    If a thread is too old, make a new one. Constant revival [five times or more] will be infracted with 2 points that will last for two weeks.


    Rating Games

    Just a short note: Don't bypass. In rating games like "Rate the Signature of the User Above" put the rating out of ten, and then a short constructive critiscism.

    Example:
    5/10

    Your pic is too blurry and it ruins it.

    Also, don't go around and post things like "I already rated yours before, [insert same rating here].". If you already have rated the user's Signature/Avatar/Theme/etc. before, just wait for someone else to post!


    Guessing Games

    When creating a guessing game, please put thought into them.
    Games like "Guess how old I am", are pointless, as they will come to an end pretty quickly, and will be closed.
    If you feel the urge to create a guessing game, please think of something that won't end after 10 posts.


    No going offtopic

    Even though this is the Other Trivia forum, the threads posted here have special topics as well.
    Like in every other forum, the topics of the threads have to be followed - however in TCTI, you may go offtopic.


    Duplicates

    As with the revival rule; don't make threads that already exist and are still active.
    Before creating games please search for existing and active threads.


    Other

    Have some common sense. Abide by all the normal PokeCommunity rules.
    Remember if you see any posts that break rules, report them! Please do not mini-mod.

    If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or another member of the higher-staff and we'll be happy to help you.

    Remember to have a good time and enjoy yourself! Thank you guys. :D

    Just remember: break the rules and you'll get Forever's Wrong Number Wrath.

    Other Trivia Announcement: 3 word posts are NOT allowed.

    Okey doke, recently on the board there have been a lot of three word posts.

    The 'four-word rule' is a rule that is counted on literally every board. And yes, that does include Other Trivia, no matter how much you hope it doesn't.

    3-word posts do count as SPAM and before now members who have posted 3WPs have been given a chance to edit their post. However, the number of posts has reached an unnecessarily high level.
    Therefore, any members who post 3-word posts more than a certain number of times will be warned or infracted     - a record will be kept of your posts and I will act accordingly.
    This is so that the board will remain spam free and any new members or posters will know not to post 3-word posts.

    If you're a little hazy on the OT rules, please read them again.
     
    Do you play "The One Above"?

    Okay; so I've had a few complaints about this from various members. And from now on, you cannot copy and paste posts. By that, I mean you can't copy + paste "^ is the poster above this post" or whatever the new thing is. The idea of The One Above is to get to know other members or give some information about them, not just repeat yourself over and over.
    The games in OT are here for you to make friends and get to know each other better; not for you to just post in. Plus, you're not gaining anything from just posting mindlessly.

    So, from now on, post original and thoughtful things, please. :>
