| http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/t.29582237/ Your thread is currently in conflict with the guidelines of Gaming Discussion:
Since there does appear to be discussion happening we don't feel the need to remove your thread just yet, but that isn't reflected in the first few posts very well. Your thread has been reported multiple times, most likely because of the language used to describe the purpose of the thread. Please make the appropriate changes to be clear that the thread is for discussion. |
tl;dr Let me reiterate again that trades and off-topic chatter need to be kept to a minimum since I had a moderator slap me on the wrist. Day bans without warning will now be in full effect.
4/27- A few minor revamps to the thread as a whole as well as a

If you consider yourself a thread regular, send a PM to GNPL with the title of "New Mascot", and tell us which Pokemon or group of Pokemon you want to see as the next representative for our thread! Once we have received a sufficient amount of entries, we will be putting up polls in the thread to allow everyone to vote on the nominees.

If you're interested, please see the 5th post and send in your entry ASAP. Note that we have edited the rules; Rather than having only Level 1 Pokemon, they can be up to Level 5.

If you were not chosen, please don't feel like you aren't important to us, because everyone here is an important part of this thread and we wouldn't be here without you. And even though you do not have a position as a mod, you can still help the thread run smoothly and be a great environment for Pokemon battlers. :3 Without further ado, check the Mod list to find out your new thread mods. <3

For the sake of having this be a quality "bible", there is a 1,000 word minimum on this.

EDIT: We will be rewarding the Top 3 based on length/quality.
