Hmmm, very true. But it was just a suggestion; Ursula asked for ideas and so SCV058 put one forward and I backed it. Its her decision overall. The only thing I'm really gunning for, like I said, is a terminology thread. :]

I'm not trying to call you out or anything if it seems like that, I'm just providing solutions to the problems at hand. I'm still backing up my claim for a "Hall of Fame" for Trades :3

I like that idea too. It would make the TC feel more like a community.
 
Most people here that are new dont even take time to read the rules, even if it says read before posting. I know this because i have made this mistake.
 
we should have a kinda GTS, where there is a long list of offers and wants :)
 
I think that their should be a Pokemon Donation thread. Here people can donate some of their unwanted Pokemon and other people can have them. People who have obtained a Pokemon from the donator can train them and really take care of them. The donator could make a post of his unwanted Pokemon and someone will ask for them or a few of them. It would be easier than a giveaway aswell...
 
Cloning should be allowed. Everyone was happy when it was

You should really write some reasons, the staff aren't gonna be lured in just with this...

I can give reasons.
1. Because everyone clones their own Pokes anyway.
2. Because frequent traders know who is trustworthy for such things.
3. Because some may need help because they don't know how to clone.

4. I would rather see clones of legitimate Pokémon out there than out-and-out hacks.

Just wondering, you say donate pokemon but who would hold these pokemon? Are you just stating that your telling the person to write down what your donating and that the person must Vm/Pm you for it? Sounds a little bit of a hassle haha.

Technically, cloning is allowed, but you can't offer cloning services in your thread. I mean, you clone pokemon to offer to your customers, but you just can't say in your thread "Hey everybody, I'm offering cloning services, gimmee your pokemon!". Besides, everyone does cloning in secracy, and I honestly don't think that the mods are going to overule the "Cloning" rule even with those points your making

Just adding one more quick thing. They do allow it, if you've read the rules:
Cloning threads...
To avoid users from being stolen Pokémon, it's now against the rules to create cloning threads, so such threads will be closed instantly. If you see a thread offering to clone Pokémon, DO NOT ACCEPT, because that's the easiest way to steal Pokémon. Instead, report the thread. If you want someone to clone you a Pokémon, you may ask it through PM, but remember this is at your own risk, so make sure it's someone you know well. You may also not sneak cloning services into your threads. We WILL find it and remove it.
Also, if someone offers you to clone Pokémon, never accept it from a new member

Actually, there once was a member operated donation center found here. Several members held and distributed the Pokemon. It was shut down because it was spreading hacks. I did enjoy it, although it ruins the trade market if trader A could get a Pokemon for free, thus ruining trader B's business if he/she also has a similar Pokemon. Why trade for a shiny Mewtwo when you can get one for free, hm?

Unless this is already implemented, I believe that anyone who responds to a bad/reported post should be warned. Guys, just report and ignore. Stop minimodding and intimidating newbies. :)

I thought of a few ideas that might help the Trade threads:
1. Trusted Traders thread.
There should be a Sticky Thread of trusted traders. Although it seems like a bad idea, there are certain conditions that must be met. For example:
i. Have at least a 5-star rating from 20 different members
ii. Have a set amount of posts, like 450, to recommend a person
iii. Recommendations by satisfied traders that can give a good report on why they deserve to be on the list
iv. The overall quality of the trader's past and current threads (ie. Services, types of Pokémon offered, appearance of the thread, etc.)

One is impossible as you can only see a traders average rating and only a single trader here has a five average AFAIK. Two is bad criteria since most bad traders and hackers have a lot of SPAM in their posts and tend to conduct trades there rather than via VM. Three is good. Four is asking too much of the mods as it will take a lot of unnecessary research.

The blacklist is a much easier idea to execute than this, plus if there was a thread like this people would tend to trade with these people and no one else, whereas with a blacklist people will trade with anyone except those on the list.

Might I add on the issue of stopping people posting quick trades as full threads, how about adding a 1 point infraction for someone who does it a second time after having their first thread already moved and warned.
 
I would like to see a PC Blacklist...
With two sections one for Disconnectors in the Battle Threads, and one for the Trade forum for Hackers and Liars ( Lying about IV's/EV's/Nature ) Or people Distributing others stuff without permission
EDIT: Maybe even a Thread like "Is my Pokemon Hacked?" So people unsure if there pokemon is hacked or not can post there and ask if there pokemon is hacked or not, would also be helpfull to get rid of some hacks in threads.......
EDIT2: I Also think you should be Able to Double Post in your Threads, that way youll be able to Update it with new things you catch/breed. I know this is a problem for me as i catch 2 or 3 things a day and if i update my thread it still stays on page 3 or so :/
Anybody else think that?

I think Number 1 falls under the general idea of a hack check thread- its possible to asks about hacks but its hard to prove without checking.

Number 2 - I have also had this issue often- but how can we prevent people from abusing it to constantly bump their own threads?

Well its not really hard to tell something's hacked, ive already found a few hacks people gave Juupton (like 5) And well as long as they have something good to update it with they can double post ie they just cant update it with a random bidoof catch...
And it doesnt count to post count so i see no porblem with it :/
 
i liked the blacklist idea. many hackers are blacklisted from the most of the shops already so why not to have a forum blacklist?

People can have differing opinions on what is a good post....

And? Its not that hard to just listen to a Rule and the Rule would be You can only Update "good" Pokemon. Or here this is better idea If your Thread is on the First Page you cannot Update it, but if its on any other Page you can Double Post and Update it that sounds better.

Yea i agree, there should be an Official Blacklist, not just a Blacklist on Trade Threads because that means i would have to check every Tarde Thread to see who hacks or not...... And if your on the Official Blacklist you cannot have a Trade Thread does anybody like that? It would help get rid of some hackers.....

The first page rule is a good idea-
Though some people do have trouble reading rules...
