[B][size=19]Forum and Pokemon FireRed Rules Overview- Read All[/B][/size]
I really wasn't feeling the previous forum rules thread- so I re-did it with a little more detail [b][size=15]Basic General Forum Rules[/B][/size]
Forward Note: If anyone breaks these rules- we ask you to not post in that particular topic. Upon doing so you may as well be helping out the rulebreaker by replying to his / her post or rep-lying to his / her topic. We ask you to use the report button and not mini-mod (reffer to rule #5). 1. Spam Posts and Topics Spamming is useless posts and / or topics that have no meaning or contribute little to the topic you are posting in- or the forum you are creating a topic in. Examples of this might be: Saying plain "hi" in a topic, talking about Ice Cream in a Team Rating thread, saying "djndfgd", posting topics that deal with the reality of pokemon and such. Spam where you are welcome to.
2. Double Posting Do not double post. If you do we reserve the right to exterminate it / them, eliminate- or whatever you would like to call it. Double Posting is spam- so don't do it. If you wish to add something you forgot- use the edit button.
3. Flaming / Vulgarity We discourage (in other word- do not allow) members to flame- at all. Flaming includes vulgarity (swearing), or putting down another member. Examples of flaming would be: **** you *****, or any other type of swearing, calling someone "n00b" because they don't know what they're talking about. We do have a swear filter- but don't try to bypass it.
4. Advertising Do not create topics for the sole purpose of advertising your forum and / or website. You are also not allowed to create topics for the sole purpose of advertising. Keep advertising to your signatures or don't at all.
5. Mini- Moding Do not mini-mod. Minimodding is when you do the job that the real moderators are supposed to do. This includes saying "Hey! You just spammed! That is not allowed". Or "Moderators, close this". Thanks for trying to help out- but we don't need that. Instead- try the report button.
6. Freedom of Speech EVERYONE is entitled to their own freedom of speech. You may have disagreements with others- but do not flame because of that. This includes: "Oh you dumbell- that is incorrect and you are a ***** for saying things like that". Or "Anyone not agreeing with me is dumb".
We look down on such people and it is best not to act like this in order to make a good impression.
7. Bumping / Replying to Old Topics This is not allowed. What we mean is that if you post in a topic that has not been posted in for a minimum of one month- you are breaking our TOS. We discourage anyone from venturing past page one since by page two topics would probably be old.

1. Creating Threads We encourage members to make threads- threfore increasing activity. But some threads are best not created- I have created a list of things
not to make.
a) Team Rating Threads
b) Question Threads
c) Multiple Topics
d) Chit-Chat Threads
a) There is a pinned team rating thread- use that and do not create new threads on it.
b) There is an exception to these. You may create these topics as long as you have checked pinned guides to see if your question lies there. The thread is well-organised and all you need
to do is scan the table of contents to find what you need.
c) Topics that deal with the same theme as another topic.
d) Not alowed. Chit-Chat will lead to spamming 120% of the time (yes, 120%) so do not create them.
2. Emulation / ROM discussion and distrubution No exceptions at all. If you feel like discussing go to another forum FAR away from supercheats. Emulation is illegal and is a banned topic here on SC.
3. Non-Pokemon Discussion Topics If it's not Pokemon- it doesn't belong in this forum. If you want to talk about Pac-Man- go to the Pac-Man forum. If you like graphics go to graphics and artwork. So only Pokemon Threads- okay? (no, this thread does not count).
