RATE MY TEAM (RMT) RULES_______________________________________
So yeah, recently this forum has started to degrade in quality and activity. I blame the massive influx of new members due to GPX+. They're scaring away all the serious people who enjoy competitive battling. But anyways, in an attempt to bring this forum back to the level of its early days, I'm going to be making some actual rules and clarify certain things. I expect you all to read and understand these before posting. Anyways, I'm gonna start off with some suggestions. Not rules, just suggestions. They don't have to be followed but you would still do well to read through them. Suggestions
And that's about it for suggestions. Everything below this point must be followed. Now, onto the actual rules. If too many of these are broken, I'll just close the thread. Because that's how it works around here. The Rules
You don't have to follow this, but at least make it look similar to what I just did, and make sure it has all the information needed. AT THE VERY LEAST YOU MUST INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: ITEM (if you have no item, say so), ABILITY (only if there are multiple abilities for one Pokemon) NATURE, AND YOUR FOUR MOVES. If you shirk from any of these then I will probably close your thread. Natures are very very important, and skipping out on them will not help. Same goes with movesets, but I MIGHT be a bit lenient on items. Items are still extremely important though, since having one is pretty much always going to be infinitely better than not having one.
Also note that your thread will not appear right away. This does not mean you've done anything wrong, it just means it hasn't been approved yet. You'll know if you've done something wrong when I tell you. Failure to follow any of these rules will probably result in your thread getting closed. If you break enough guidelines, even if you follow all the rules, then I might close your thread. Just depends on how I feel. -------------------- |

I'm assuming I'm allowed to post here, since... y'know... It's not locked or anything...
QUOTE 1) Post full teams. This means 6 Pokemon, no more, no less. You may post previous members of your team, or substitutes, but if you've got 7 Pokemon and you don't say why you've got 7, then your thread goes KAPUT. I'd dispute this rule under certain conditions. If someone posts a thread with one pokemon then asks what to do with the rest of the team, then I'd understand. But if someone's posting a team which they're working on and isn't completed, then why should it be disallowed? For example, say someone has five pokemon and wants a sixth pokemon to help cover weaknesses, but doesn't know the best choice, why should their thread suddenly get disallowed because it doesn't have a full set of pokemon? |

I dunno, I've made up teams before and been stumped on what sixth pokemon would be ideal for coverage. It's taken some input to pick the optimal pokemon. *Shrug*

You did post your pictures correctly. Your thread didn't show up because all threads need to be approved by me or any Global Moderator before it'll show up to regular members. This helps hide any threads I don't want the public to view, and to make sure that nobody posts in a thread that breaks the rules (consider that the only kind of punishment you'll ever get from me). Of course because I'm nice I'll always give you a couple chances to fix your thread
Oh by the way your thread wasn't accepted because you were missing some information needed, and there's a stupid rule somewhere up there that you missed. I think it's #8 This post has been edited by Black Ice: Jun 22 2009, 09:39 PM -------------------- |

Sleeping Clause - No 2 Pokemon may be asleep at the same time. Similarly, no 2 Pokemon may be frozen at the same time either.
Species Clause - You may not have 2 Pokemon of the same species on a single team. OHKO Clause - OHKO moves such as Fissure or Guillotine are not allowed. Evasion Clause - Sand Attack, Double Team, or any move that lowers accuracy is not allowed. You also may specify if you want Brightpowder to be legal too. I'm sorry, but, we can't show off OUR teams from OUR games? And we can't have OUR pokes know the moves shown above? Last time I checked, this isnt a RP forum, why is this a big deal? -------------------- |

Uhhh, what. Those are optional, you don't have to play with those clauses.
Most people who battle competitively do though, to balance out the metagame. And this is generally a competitive battling forum. -------------------- |

If your team has at least one uber then it's an uber team. If your team has at least one OU Pokemon it can't play in UU. If your team has at least one UU Pokemon then it can't play in NU. And so on.

I see that you have to post the complete team, but are you allowed to post Singles Battle Tower teams, say, three pokemon?

No one knows what Pokemon you have, and what their moves are. It's impossible to rate a team like that.
Go make a thread and read the rules before doing so. -------------------- |
