Pokemon: Frequently Asked Questions

[lifeup]

This post is to replace the little list of frequently asked questions in the userinfo (which is going to be updated in a few days). Hopefully this'll be a bit more organized on a separate post than just on the userinfo.

Only comment to add more questions, comments are screened and will probably be deleted after the question has been added to the

I thought it might be easiest to have some categories in the memories where relevant posts to the comm are properly named and tagged? Kind of like the way the how-to layout comms work. That's how most comms seem to do it, in my experience. Just a thought.

I know memories would be too hectic for me to try to organize (more finding in-depth posts than anything else), but we're trying to use just tags. Only, not many people are using them; I've been tagging most people's entries for them. >_>; I have a memories category for shiny Pokemon (all I have is that tutorial so far), but if there are any other categories that really need to be added to memories and not just tags, let me know and I'll try and fix it up. :D

Maybe you could open tagging to everyone on the comm and maintain a list of tags to use? XD;

I'm pretty sure it is open to everyone, but...yeah, it'd be nicer if there was a stricter way of tagging (like, instead of "trade" some people might put "trades", etc.). Though I guess it helps either way, even if it's a pain to search through each possible tag in the list. ^^;

The pokemoncenter site is no longer running, so you might want to remove that link. (:

Whoops! Thanks for letting me know! :)

Would you consider doing moderated posting? It seems like we're getting a lot of stuff that is kind of off topic or stuff that should really be posted in personal journals. I think moderated posting would help a lot with this problem if you had the time to do so.

Whoops, sorry it took me so long to get back to you! (For future reference, this post is kind of meant for this kind of suggestion.)

I don't really see a bigger increase in off topic stuff more than usual. It's also kind of hard to say what exactly's off topic - technically, as long as it's Pokemon-related, it's on topic...it's just that some posts are more community-related than others. Anyway, it's just too difficult to do moderated posting because there's a huge number of posts per day that I'd alone have to check and judge whether it's on topic or not (I don't want to add another mod just for that), and trade posts would be posted hours after people are online and ready.
