A guide for people new to the forums
-DO NOT SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION LIKE YOUR NAME, AGE, BIRTHDAY, LOCATION, ETC.
-While on other sites like YouTube or Twitter you're encouraged to post as often as possible and become famous, here that's not a good idea and will get you flagged and possibly reported for spam. Quality over quantity.
-Report and flag advertisements or AI posts. Do not let them take over like they did to multiple popular social media.
-Don't be an annoying piece of garbage to other people and remember that the world does not revolve around you.
-Points and the amount of posts or reactions you have do not matter. They do nothing. No one cares, all that matters here is to have fun talking about and discussing Pokémon.
-There is an edit button.
-Try to avoid making three or more comments in a row on the same discussion. If you have something you want to add, there's an edit button.
-If your post is not immediately posted even though you pressed post, that means it's going through approval and will post a couple hours later, after it finishes getting approved. You do not need to post it again, that might result in duplicate posts.
-Please do not revive old discussions for no reason.
-Flags are not a dislike or disagree button.
-Don't post things in the wrong place. Post things about the TCG in the TCG part of the Forums, things about GO in the mobile games section of Pokémon General, things about the mainline games in the video games section of Pokémon General, things about Unite in the Unite section (that is not part of Pokémon General), things about TCG Pocket in its own sections, etc.
Edit: Added the thing about the different sections.
Edit again: I somehow forgot to mention approval so I added something about it. I put it in the middle because it looks more normal there.
Feel free to link this whenever someone who is new here says they're new to the forums or is spamming or is begging for reactions, or to add something I forgot in the comments.
Also sorry if the size makes it look weird but it makes it a lot easier to read.

This is a great idea, thanks.

This discussion isn't about that person, it's about giving advice to people who are new here, so please stop talking about them.
Also, do not comment on flypupkai's posts. They're only here for angry reactions and arguing, so just ignore them. Maybe they'll even leave if they don't get the angry reactions and arguing they want to see.
Can we go back to talking about advice for people who are new here now?
Edit: Sorry if that last part sounded rude.
