Flaming Other Pokémon Fansites

[fenzo666]

It has come to the attention of the Project Pokémon Team that many forum members have been making slanderous remarks regarding other Pokémon fansites; more specifically Serebii. We kindly ask that all members refrain from flaming these other fansites. As such, one of our rules have been modified:

Be considerate of other members and Pokémon fansites.
This encompasses many of our rules. Specifically, do not offend other members and/or Pokémon fansites in the IRC or forums. Do not flame or write slanderous comments regarding any other websites and/or members. Keep in mind that CAPS LOCK is generally considered shouting and should only be used accordingly. You will be penalized if you do not follow these rules.

Project Pokémon would like to maintain a healthy relationship with all other fansites and this is only possible with the cooperation of our members. As stated above, anyone not willing to cooperate will be punished. Thanks for reading and abide by the rules.

I just did a search for "Serebii" and didn't see any problems, except for some discussion in the Wiki sub-forum, and that was only from like one poster. Is there a certain post/thread/whatever that bought this to attention?

Not that I don't agree with the rule. I do. We should be respectful to other websites. Give credit where credit is due, and all that good stuff.

Indeed randomspot. Flootenkerp told me that it had something to do with the IRC though. And bashing other sites won't help this community be productive anyhow. We would like to retain a good relationship with the other communities, yes?

This came to be as far as I know, because Floot and a couple of other members in the IRC wanting to go do a spam attack in Serebii's IRC channel using the excuses of it being 'fun' and whatever.

Well, it's good to know the origins of this. I do fully agree with it, and if any immature crap like that does happen, we can safely say that it wasn't supported by PP.

Well, some of us have edited some of the comments so most problems are not visible.

We didn't go through with it, and it really wouldn't have done much to the site except annoy them for 3 seconds. They have a script that makes it so you can't repeat something more then 3 times. But me and Narwhal didn't do it, and we don't intend t in the future. sorry it had to go that far, it won't happen again.

Sorry about that...honestly I dont even know why I dislike serebii I use them all the time I just dont like to.

Your feelings are your feelings. We are in no way, shape or form trying to change them. You may say what you will about any other fansite, including ours, if you want; just not on our forum or IRC channel.

I always found it pointless flaming at them, i mean there information is exactly the same to different Pokemon sites, like Marilland, and even here.

I always thought soon there a rule will be created to forbid the action, one more thing, who makes the rules? they seem so honorable and literate.

[Varna]

Flaming other sites? Do some people really have that much free time and so little to do? =\

+1 to supporting this rule, though it's sad that it's even needed.

[Okami]

It kind of reminds me of that saying...'If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.' Of course, I break that all the time, so who am I to speak?

[Neo]

I have noticed this on the Wiki Contributers group with pokefan saying never ever use serebii no offense to you pokefan

[ocwil]

i use it all the time
ow and regarding the new rule totally agree +1
