Hah. I was just waiting for someone to shoot down a perfectly reasonable point and then it happened. Amazing.
It should not be"Rule 4: In biology and ecology, extinction is the end of an organism or group of taxa. The moment of extinction is generally considered to be the death of the last individual of that species (although the capacity to breed and recover may have been lost before this point). Because a species' potential range may be very large, determining this moment is difficult, and is usually done retrospectively. This difficulty leads to phenomena such as Lazarus taxa, where a species presumed extinct abruptly "re-appears" (typically in the fossil record) after a period of apparent absence. Also, don't murder people, okay?"
They're rules. They should be clearly explained and seperated out as convinient for the reader.

4. No advertising. We forbid advertising for profit (for example, "I need more members, cry cry"). Afterall, we want to keep our visitors. The two exceptions to this are a) sites which offer a feature relevant to the topic that is not offered by PKMN.NET, a fact which should be made clear in your post and b) your signature, where you can advertise whichever site you wish. Assuming it follows other relevant rules of course.
Bish, bash, bosh.
I love it when you use such debonair legal jargon when answering queries
The rules haven't changed a great deal, like others said they have been condensed a lot. They also have a much more friendly tone to themSee, this is what I don't like. Some of us don't like to be treated like children and given SOLID RULES as if we can't follow simple guidelines. It's a forum not a board game, why should it be assumed that we're idiots who can't act properly. It still amazes me how a lot of the people here who boast a high IQ and excellent school grades are still apparently to stupid to know how to act around other people.If you're in need of being bossed around then there's an army out there who would love to have you join them, but even they have an excuse to do so because it really is a matter of life and death for them, the same can't be said for a pokemon forum however.At it's core a forum is just a social gathering, if you need to be told how to be sociable then you shouldn't be here at all.
For that reason they need to be as clear cut as possible to avoid people having an excuse when they break them, because sadly people do break them.
1. The admins and mods make the final decisions.4. No advertising.5. No spamming.
