Pokémon Trivia Rules - ALL GAMES MUST BE POKÉMON RELATED, PEOPLE.

Pokémon Trivia Rules

Only Pokémon Games

This board is specifically for games related to Pokémon.
Any games which do not involve Pokémon belong in the Other Trivia board.

[Remember; Pokémon topics can be anything from characters to actual Pokés.]

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. Pokémon Trivia is awful with this rule.

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 members 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.

No going offtopic

Although this is the Pokémon Trivia board, all threads have their own special topics as well.
And like in every forum, the topic of the thread has to be followed.
Off-topic posts are considered spam, and repeatedly posting this will result in a warning.

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.

Tags

Tags should help to find topics. The best tags are general ones [Ex: "Music", "food", "quiz"]. Don't use too concrete ones [such as, directly, "Pokesave or pokeslap"], nor board tags [such as "pt", "pokemon trivia", etc], because it's easier to simply go to the board you want to find threads from.

The usage of insulting or completely pointless tags [such as "nonsense", "spam", etc] may be infracted upon repetition.

If you're unsure what to tag a thread or you don't know how to tag, check out the guide.

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 BinaryPeaches 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
