Advertising is not just giving a link to another site - some sites are well known to the extent that nicknames are just as bad. The usual punishments apply here as they do to giving links.

You're right- people shouldn't need to be told how to be social, which is why these aren't rules on being social. They're rules for how the forum is run. The rules are set by the staff so they don't have to put up with those few that refuse to be social for whatever reason.
I'm not sure why anyone would push for more rules on an internet forum.
nice to see the fabled rule 20 still exists..the changes are good, no more waffle in the rules and it should help new members start of on a better foot around 'ere.
If a moderator can't take user complaints, then they're not cut out for moderating the place now are they?I'm not sure why anyone would push for more rules on an internet forum.
Umm, but there are only 8 rules. You must be making one up.
It's not that I myself need them, it's that I believe many do... I used to, before I started posting more intelligently. It pushes you to be more articulate and there's something to be said about being a valued member in a site that requires you to contribute well to a discussion.
Now when we welcome people to PKMN.net and say "Read the rules", we can actually expect that they do it.
20. This rule does not exist - But you are still expected to follow it.
Does this answer your query?
