I don't need any introduction, just post more and get to know me! I'll start with the most important thing; if you want the full set of rules, click here (http://pkmn.net/rules)! I'll be condensing it for you so you can be wary of some of the more commonly broken rules. Trust me, they're really easy to follow.
Three Word Minimum - Anything below 3 words is forbidding, but 3 words is allowed.
No Spamming - Should be self-explanatory, make your posts relevant and try to avoid redundancy!
Avatars/Signatures - Avatar/Signature total is at most 150 kB, so you can have a 100 kB avatar and a 50 kB signature. That's 153,600 bytes btw! Avatars are 100x100 pixels.
Reporting posts/"Mini-modding" - Don't try to enforce rules, it's spam and you can't do anything about it! Use the "report to moderator" button. Don't abuse the button either.
Double Posting - Self-explanatory, basically you can't post more than one time in a row. There are exceptions; if your first post is more than 10,000 characters then go ahead and make a second post.
Some Exceptions to the above - There are instances where it will be allowed, read this post for more details (http://pkmn.net/forums/index.php?topic=103187.msg2295220#msg2295220). In a nutshell, if you want to update your art/writing thread, then you can post again. So long as there was more than a couple days between updates, and you aren't posting more than 2-3 times in a row. It's just a matter of common sense!
Swearing - Obviously, do not swear. "hell" "damn" "piss" "crap" is allowed. Use your common sense! If it's censored on American television then it is not allowed (b (five letters) and b (seven letters) also aren't allowed).
Respect - Everyone deserves it! Treat others the way you want to be treated!
Flaming - Don't try to pick a fight with someone! You can debate, but if someone does something to piss you off report them to a moderator!
Flood Control - Not a rule, but you have to wait 30 seconds between each post! If you try to post 29 seconds before another post, then you have to wait another 30 seconds! Watch out!
Added note - If you made a post, and it told you to wait 30 seconds, then you hit "Back", then make sure you refresh the page before you try to post again! It also helps to copy your content out of the box.
The IRC
Link: http://pkmn.net/?action=content&page=viewpage&id=3601&parentsection=36 (http://pkmn.net/?action=content&page=viewpage&id=3601&parentsection=36)
It's a chatroom for people to hang out in! If there's no activity, try to make some!
This runs on Java btw, so make sure your computer can use that. If you don't want to use Java, then use something like mIRC (http://mirc.com[/url)! Our server is irc.synirc.org and our channel is #pkmn.net. If you are not IRC-inclined, then follow these directions after configuring your name and stuff:
/server irc.synirc.orgAnd once you're connected,
/join #pkmn.net
From there, most people should be able to help you with anything regarding the IRC. We don't bite!
General Help
Link: http://pkmn.net/forums/index.php?action=help (http://pkmn.net/forums/index.php?action=help)
So the forums run on SMF if you can't already tell... the above should be able to help you with forum specifics if you need any help!
Hotlinks and Images
This is asked quite often, and I'll provide the answer here!
Posting an image is really not that tough; the image must be uploaded to the internet however, in one way or another. If it's on your computer, then upload it to a place like Photobucket (http://photobucket.com) or Tinypic (http://tinypic.com). If it's already uploaded, great!
Once uploaded, take its URL (Right Click -> Properties -> it's right next to location; copy it) and put it between the following tags
[img][/img]
So, for example if I wished to post this Ike avatar I have on my computer, I post it like this;
[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v290/Lance_Firestarter/Ike100.png[/img]
So it ends up being;
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v290/Lance_Firestarter/Ike100.png)
Hotlinking is equally simple. Just use the following "formula;"
[url=(insert URL here, ie the website on the address bar)]The text you wish to have[/url]
So if I wanted to link to the rules;
[url=http://pkmn.net/rules]Read the rules![/url]
It ends up being like this: Read the rules! (http://pkmn.net/rules)
Now, if you wish to hotlink an image, you put the image between the url brackets. So it's like this
[url=http://pkmn.net/rules][img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v290/Lance_Firestarter/Ike100.png[/img][/url]
Result:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v290/Lance_Firestarter/Ike100.png) (http://pkmn.net/rules)
It's that easy!
Post Count
Post count doesn't matter that much; trust me, I'm the #1 poster on this board (Tim doesn't count because he didn't actually make all those posts!) Every forum but Forum Games increase your post count... Just make sure each of your posts follows the rules!
You do get new ranks above your Pokeballs for having x number of posts, and those are as follows;
15000 - Fan Rotom
10000 - Fan Fan
5000 - Name Rater Hater
2500 - Sentret Fan
1000 - Joeno Fan
500 - Typhlosion Fan
250 - Mulholland Fan
100 - Rex Fan
50 - Rob Fan
25 - Psythor Fan
1 - Iceduck Fan
0 - Pokémon Fan
So once you hit that many posts, your rank changes to that particular thing! It's just aesthetics is all, and it's fairly cool I suppose!
That's pretty much all I can think of; enjoy your PKMN.NET career and have fun! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask in the PKMN.NET general board (http://pkmn.net/forums/index.php?board=2.0) board!
Also, if you're new, check out this thread (http://pkmn.net/forums/index.php?topic=105748.0). Make your own thread obviously for people to welcome you but also participate in some ice breakers as well! We're a welcoming community with an open mind to a lot of things.

Nice guide, Muhed.
It's actually taught me a thing or two.
-
I Wish that was an automated message :(
-
It could be transferred into the PM you get automatically when you join.
It would tell you all you needed to know, anyway.
-
That would really help, maybe I wouldn't have broken as many rules as I did when I joined...
-

Oh well as long as you don't break them now! BTW this guide will sure help people who have just joined. Too bad you hadn't made this when I joined...It certainly would have helped me about putting images in you signatures.

(http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/3342/seerta2ftx9.png): Well, since we are allowed to post here, you made a small mistake. You give the link to tinypic.org (http://tinypic.org), but the correct one is tinypic.com (http://tinypic.com)
Still, it's really helpful
-
Tinypic was already there, but it was .org instead of .com so thanks.
-
Hello I'm Laluna I just got here so I wanted to ask some help is there anyone that could help me in here ? ;D ::) :angel: :yeswink:
-
We can't help you unless you tell us what you need help with. Besides, pretty much all of the basics you need to know are in this topic.

yo mamma,is that bidoof's way of talking in the pokemon mystery dungeon fourth gen series?

-
Well, that anwsers my topic I made then. Thanks Liam. Doesn't make a difference to me, though.
-
Oh, thanks Liam. It's updated.
-
No problem.
I haven't said it yet, so now is probably the best time; Great guide you have got here Muhed. :)
-
Muhed... You became an Moderator now...? Wow, dude! ^^ I don't know that when you started to become an Moderator... But keep up the good work!
Well, I just finally back for now.
-
I'm not a moderator.
-

Well, I just finally back for now.
Why the hell did you think he was? What made you think that Muhed was a moderator?
-
You really need to jump on his throat? I think I got the point across just fine.

Does Fan Fan still exist? I'm a Phil Fan now it seems. Someone check.
-
Well, judging by all the other people who were on Fan Fan who are now on Phil Fan, no.
-
It does exist. Rex's old profile, Steelix, is still a Fan Fan. That is on the 12000+ post mark. All of the 15000+ post mark members are Phil Fans.
Fan Fan does exist still.
-
Oh yeah... Thank you for pointing out my error, Liam. :)
-
10K+ seems to be Fan Fan, 15K+ seems to be Phil Fan. Okay then, updated.

Wait. If you're not a mod, why is this topic sticky?

Because an admin thought it was useful or requested it and then STICKED IT FOR THE GREATER GOOD. Caps needed. GREATER GOOD. Oh man.

ultra-bump!
stuff about the irc channel should be updated to reflect new server
-
Hello I'm new that this site. I decided to make an account for the nickname part to get nickname ideas for my Pokemon. I been playing and watching Pokemon since it first came out in 1998. I did take a break from this in high school after GS came out on Gameboy. Maybe 2 years ago I started back on this because I was really bored with Xbox. So I got a DSi and Platinum and playing again.
I created my user name because Cubone is my favorite and its nature is lonely so with clever editing I made it rhyme. Simple as that!!! So if interested hit me up. I love talking Pokemon. I do battle so WANNA BATTLE?
PS- Cant wait for Black and White
-
Sup this is my second time around for being on this site. It's been a few years since I left, figured I'd come back with the release of Black and White.
My user name is the same one I used the first time around with a different number. I picked it cause Aggron is my favorite pokemon.
-
Welcome. :D
Don't forget to brush up on the rules.
pkmn.net/rules (http://pkmn.net/rules)
Also, enjoy your stay.
-
yeah but how do u put animation in avatar
-
If you have the animated GIF then all you need to do is treat it like a normal image, upload it to a file host, (tiny pic, iaza, photobucket, imageshake) ect. Then go to forum settings, right at the top you will see avatar settings, pretty straight forward from here. Just past the location of the image in. But make sure you check the file size, gif's have larger files sizes and your profile cannot go over 150kb.
-
Hai. My name is Luc. My current favorite pokemon is Scrafty. I usually have a hard time fitting in a forum or a chat without looking like a geek. Lol.. Well... I hope I can get some friends.
-
we're all geeks round these parts
-
Thanks, this helped a ton! But there was one thing i was wondering: What are the pokeballs (above your avatar) for?
-

Pokéballs - normal member
Safari Balls - donator (not sure to what.)
Great Balls - moderator
Ultra Balls - global moderator
Master Balls - admin
At least, unless it's changed recently.
-
Donators don't have any special features aside from giving karma back when that was available, but they donated to fundraisers for disasters whenever the site opened up donations.
-
i donated to Hatai, though.
-
i donated to Hatai, though.
That was open for a limited time. Plus in order to gain the Pokéballs you needed to show us evidence of the donation such as a screencap.
-
Hi i'm matthew. Is there anything you guys recomend that I check out?
Yeah, registeel! (http://www.pokestadium.com/pokemon/sprites/handheld/blackwhite/animated/379.gif) awesome!!!!
-
all of the forums, maybe try to submit a nickname to the rater, really everything
-
good info ;D That answers all my questions.
-
Thanks for telling me the rules! I'll do my best to follow them.
-
Necroposting is not following rules!
-
i think necroposting is okay when its a sticky that'll be front page forever
-
necroposting isnt a rule... to be fair... and in most forums necroposting isnt a thing in sticky threads
-
That helps ^.^
I just registered and read this
It's good that somebody thinks about the once that just register
I know it's a stupid question but as I said I'm new ::) :
How do I get to the place with the Pokemon names and suggest my nicknames or whatever because I registered and the website sant me here? :unsure:
-
It's either under Site or Misc on the side.
-
I've used "hell" a couple of times! PHEW!
So... even if I use * to cover up words I can't use them?
-
that's exactly right
-
I've read all of the rules yet they don't really answer one question. What are the poke balls for?
-
They're a sort of status indicator -- regular ones are for members, staff have master balls, and donators have what I think are friend balls. I think that's all of 'em.
-
Pokéballs - normal member
Safari Balls - donator (not sure to what.)
Great Balls - moderator
Ultra Balls - global moderator
Master Balls - admin
At least, unless it's changed recently.
i think this is still correct after 4 years
-
Thanks for this helpful info :)
