Get rid of the "Official Shiny Pokemon Thread" or whatever crap title it is. I realised that it is a useless thread, with little or no intelligent discussion in it whatsoever. I suggest un-stickying it. That thread is a major warehouse of spam. If anyone needs a place to track which shinies he/she has, just go create a "My Player" Thread.
That thread was stickied to reduce OTHER shiny threads. Why do you think we have
that thread stickied in General Pokemon Discussion when its also a whole pile of crap? Stickied threads are not stickied only for importance and contributions, but also to reduce other kinds of these threads.
It's not in the General Pokemon Discussion, but in the Gaming Discussion. Also, Shiny threads are already useless, why sticky one Official and Useless one, when members can post their shinies in their My Player thread? Even if they want to tell the world that they're lucky, they can still do so with a My Player thread.
Even though they are in different forums, the same concept applies. Anyway, My Player threads are for trading. The stickied thread is for boasting.
You mean, we are encouraging people to boast? I mean, those who post there sensibly either want to keep track of their shinies, or wants the world to know, so they can trade it off. For the first one, one can easily save a list in his/her built-in Notepad in their PokéBeach Forums account; for the latter, one can create a My Player thread/signature containing their Shinies.

Also, Merging the "Mini-Modding" Thread with the PokéBeach Forums Rules thread would be good, since it makes the place less cluttered with stickyed threads.
No veteran member reads the rules, because they know the rules already. Why would they read an edit without being notified? Anyway, mini-modding is getting out of hand and needs its own thread.
Veteran members would have read the thread by now. Duh! Merging the threads together would put everything in one place by now.
We are just trying to make it a big issue. Holy Star wants postcount. Also, it deserves its own thread because, as I said earlier, it's one of the major issues we have to tackle on this forum.
Yes, it is a major issue, but the rules is the no. 1 thing we must obey. With it included in the rules, we have no reason not to comply to it.

Btw, Making a Competitive Battling Discussion & RMT Sub-Forum would make the place more neat, since the Tiers, the EV/IV/Natures Guides and the Team-Building Guide would then be seperated, making it neater. Also, people will not be bombarded with In-Game Team Rating threads, or "Where can I find ???" theads.
Many people have suggested this many times, including moderators and super moderators; WPM is busy, VERY busy (I saw his work) making the new site content. But it's still the first change that should be done to the forum.
He can easily make a new forum with the click of a button, and force ask a moderator to transfer all the threads over.
WPM must have his objections to it since he can do it so easily and even staff members have recommended it.
What are the bad points that comes out from this? Does it actually make the forum look smaller, or make it more neat? Even you want it
