The Contest Hall Rules & Regulations!
Please refer to this list for all things you'll need to know about posting in The Contest Hall. It's imperative that all users are familiar with these rules to ensure the best experience possible in this sub-section for users and guests alike.
1. All BMGf rules apply.
It should go without saying that these rules still apply to this sub-section, even if they are not necessarily listed here. Any violation of these rules will be treated as they typically are.
2. Be respectful of other's opinions, ideas, and contests. Saying things such as "anyone who disagrees is dumb, stupid, etc." or simply bashing/insulting a user for their opinion will not be tolerated. While it's fine to hold your own opinion, we ask that you respect the right for others to do the same.
3. Search for contests before posting a new one. This is simply to keep duplicate threads at a minimum, as well to keep similar/related discussion in the same place for easier access. If you aren't able to find a contest, you are welcome to create it yourself. If you find a contest, but the last post was made more than three months ago, you are allowed to start a new contest for it. Duplicate threads (made in a close enough timeframe) will be merged for organizational purposes.
4. Contests should only be discussed in their respective threads. This also helps with keeping discussion organized, and falls in-line with respecting users, meaning not derailing their contest.
5. The Contest Hall is for Pokemon-related battles only. This is not a section to post "Pokémon vs. Mario" topics or "Pokémon vs. Digimon" topics. You are allowed to pit anything together as long as the two contests are from the Pokémon universe, whether it be comparing topics from the manga against the anime, or topics from the games against the TCG. If you are pitting two things in the anime together, however, that contest would go in the Anime section instead. The same applies with all other media that has their own section here on the forums.
6. Add a poll. While this is a regulation rather than a rule, it's asked that whenever creating a contest, you add a poll to your thread to allow for an easy way to see which contestant has won your contest. It also allows users to participate in contests even if they might not have anything to say.
7. Answers should contain more than just who you think should win. Again, this is another regulation, but it's asked that when posting who you think should win a contest, you give a few reasons as to why as well. This is to help keep discussion going, and also to encourage users to become more involved within The Contest Hall.
8. Have fun! There's no sense in participating in The Contest Hall if you're not having fun. If at any time you aren't having fun, or feel that you or another user is being harassed/shut down, please report the situation using the "report" button at the bottom of users posts, or contact one of the Pokémon General moderators.
