Q: I don’t like my username anymore. Can I change it?
A: Username changes aren’t possible at this point in time, due to conflicts with the forum system.
Q: My date of birth is incorrect! Who do I contact?
A: Contact a super moderator or administrator via a
Private Message, and they will update your details for you.
Q: What are the rules on the usage of profanities?
A: As PokeBeach is a PG-13 forum, mild and moderate profanities are permissible, although should not be used excessively. Slurs and similar derogatory labels are not permissible, and using profanities of any intensity to flame or slander another person will result in a warning. (See the
Forum Rules for more information.)
Q: What are the rules on signatures?
A: Signatures should be within the dimensions 680 x 250 pixels. Signatures may include .GIFs, however excessive use of images in your signature will cause it to be deleted.
Q: What are the rules on bumping old threads?
A: Threads that have not seen any new posts for over two weeks may only be bumped if that post adds new and relevant information to the thread. Posts that unnecessarily bump threads will be deleted.
Q: Who can I contact if I’ve encountered a problem with my premium subscription?
A: It’s best if you contact
Water Pokemon Master directly. You can send him a
Private Message, or use one of the avenues listed on the site’s
Contact Us page.
Q: I have come across a technical site- or chat-related error. Where do I report it?
A: Glitches and errors should be reported in this thread, or reported directly to a staff member. Please provide as much information as possible so that we can fix the error, including when and how the error occured, any screenshots (if applicable) and the browser that was in use.
Q: I’m trying to use the spoiler tags, but when I post, the tag splits into two spoilers instead of one. [
example]
A: This glitch is the side-effect of weird or superfluous code wrapped around the SPOILER tag in a post , typically faced by those who use complicated text formatting, and add and remove code using the default “Rich Text Editor” mode. Specifically, code that begins
outside the spoiler must end outside the spoiler, and same for code that is
inside the spoiler. [
example] It is good practice to check for invisible, superfluous code located in a post via the “BBcode Editor” mode. If you’re still stuck, contact a moderator.
Q: I’m interested in joining the forum staff team! How do I apply?
A: We are always looking for fresh faces to join the team! You can submit an application for this voluntary position via
this form. If your application is successful,
Shining Raikou or
Juliacoolo will contact you to arrange an instant message text interview on
Discord.
Q: I’ve got an idea for a new feature or project! Who can I contact?
A: Let the Super Moderators and Admins know via a Private Message, and we'll see what we can do. We are always keen to hear your new ideas, but as general rule there are no guarantees, since current projects may take priority.
