Question: How come my posts are "awaiting moderator approval", and how many posts do I need to make to get that lifted...? Couldn't find anything on the forums about that... :T

How come you have to post a certain number of times before PMing?

Its an anti-spam measure used to prevent spambots from mass PMing spam to people.

Can you get infractions for talking about politics?

Sexual images: Depending of the origin of the anine and what is seen.

So, origin of the anime. Let's say there's this really perverted anime. It's like, so close to being a hentai it's not even funny. However, they never truly show anything that can be called pornographic. It may or may not be rare to find a nude person in the anime, but the controversial parts of said person's body are always covered by something, be it steam, arms, a blanket, anything. So no porn, but very pervy. Are you saying that posting a picture from said anime would be disallowed, just for the origin of the picture?

Well, I think it would be better to talk about the Pokémon anime than some adult anime. Since this is a Pokémon forum. So do those days add up in the punishment? Like if you post something so controversal that it is worth ten points, like gore or porn and that was your first bad post, would you be blocked for three months and two days?

Are family members ok?

So is it fine too do some kind of Borderlands 2 Roleplay if I put rated M in the title?

I'm not a mod, but I believe I can help with these questions.

Can you get infractions for talking about politics?

There is a specific subforum in Serious Business called Nicoleta's Campaign Bus that you need permission to access where politics can be freely discussed. Outside of there, you can acknowledge that they exist or state an opinion, but I would avoid getting into political debates or bashing other people's views.

So is it fine too do some kind of Borderlands 2 Roleplay if I put rated M in the title?

My understanding is that as long as you label it as mature in the title, there are no rules against gore or sexual references. The rules of the RP section state that it's mostly up to the Game Maker's discretion how much is allowed. If you have more questions then I would ask in Octy, British Joe, Plumbum, AceTrainer14, or Flaze directly for the quickest response.

Are we allowed to put our friend code in our signature, or is that considered spamming? :X

Its perfectly fine to have your friend code in your signature.

 

[Oster]

Awesome, thanks!

 

[Luxario]

So, just to clarify, asking for pokemon trades is allowed?

Yes. Trades should be asked for here:Bulbagarden Global Trade Station

Its perfectly fine to have your friend code in your signature.

There's also a thread for sharing friend codes here and a field on your profile for it, so there are plenty of ways to get your friend code out there.

May I ask why you aren't allowed to have multiple accounts? The fact you can already change your name every once in a while means I don't need to but it seems odd.

Part of it is so that you can't avoid a ban. Also, it just keeps everything pertaining to you in one place so moderators (or regular users) don't have to look all over the place to find a post or information about you. It just opens the doors to a lot of confusion. If you absolutely have to have a new account for some unforeseen reason, I would contact a moderator or admin.

The only time that I'm aware of that alternate accounts are actually encouraged is during the Halloween Sock Party, but that won't come around again until next October and it's only limited to one thread.

 

[LilyStorm]

Makes sense. First forum I've ever seen to do that though.

 

[Pirate Queen]

Hello! I'm curious as to cursing on here. Can we? Like I'm not saying I'm gonna use the f word five times in a single sentence, just when you feel the need to use it for emphasis. haha, yeah, sorry if I'm not making any sense.
Thanks in advance!
