Global Forum Rules
Lately, several members have been making low-quality posts, mostly spamming and advertising.
Hence, the mods of TPM have agreed that a little reminder is in order.
Kindly co-operate with us by posting meaningful posts and following the rules. This is to ensure that other members get a fair chance to enjoy their stay at The Pokemasters.
In case you haven't read the rules yet, please take a look at them.
The following rules are general rules that apply to all of TPM. Forum specific rules may be added at a later date.
1 ) No SPAM. Stupid Pointless Annoying Messages are not allowed to be posted on TPM.
2 ) Don't advertise. This includes posting on the public forums and using private messages (unless requested).
TPM's definition of advertising is:
Linking to your own site or material in a discussion where such material would be considered 'off topic'.
Posting a topic just to show off your site.
Linking to other Pokemon main sites.
Linking to your own refferal URL's, whether on-topic or not
Posting links is not considered 'advertising' in the following situations:
A direct link to a page within your site or another pokemon site with relevant information to a topic at hand.
Any site which is not your own and contains something you wish to discuss.
3 ) No flaming. While we like to encourage active debates, posting blatant insults or something deliberatly intended to offend someone isn't allowed.
4 ) Do not create gimmicks or extra accounts. Only one account per person.
5 ) Use your common sense: if you know something's wrong, don't do it. The Super mods and admins reserve the right to assume you should know better.
6 ) No posting for the sole purpose of bumping topics. Necroing anything without a purpose for threads over 3 months old = ban. The mods and admins will judge what passes as a decent purpose.
7 ) No pornography, graphic violence or other similarly explicit content.
8 ) If you think your post is not suitable for some people, include a warning that can be seen before reading it.
9 ) Follow Little_Pikachu's signature rules.
10 ) Obey the forum-specific rules of the forum you are posting in.
11 ) Please do not reply to posts made by spam-bots or obvious troll posts made by new members. Instead, please report the post using the Report Post button and a moderator or admin will deal with it. All posts that do reply to spam and troll posts will be deleted.
Remember that these rules are in effect throughout the whole board; they apply to all forums, and to all members.
If anyone has a problem with the rules, PM me and I will discuss them with you. - RedStarWarrior
