A quick guide to the rules of the forum.
1) Reply to Spambot: Don’t do it, it just brings more of them.
2) Multiple Posting: Multiple posting leads to spam, so don't do it unless it contains news. *"news" will link to the main rules*
3) Incoherent/Unreadable Post: If it’s difficult to read, it only annoys others, so use grammar and spelling.
4) Unacceptable Signature/Image: Pictures that are too big break the forums and are fun for no one.
5) Advertising: We’re here to talk about Pokémon, not about your Let’s Play (or what have you).
6) Pointless Post: No one wants to read things that don’t contribute to discussion.
7) Copyright Violation: It’s imperative for Bulbagarden that illegal content is not sponsored, so don’t post it.
8) Flaming & Baiting: Don’t attack other users or groups of users.
9) Inappropriate Content: The forums are PG-13, not R, so sexual and violent content is not allowed.
