This first post is only a rules post. The following two posts will be reserved by me for updates to project coordinators as need be. Please read the first 3 posts often, as they may be updated periodically and contain useful information for people seeking information and assistance.
Project Pokemon Rules.
Third translation thread
Second translation thread
First translation thread
Welcome to the Japanese to English translation thread for Pokemon Black/White. This first post is ONLY going to cover the rules because frankly, a lot of you aren't following them. The second post, by Kaarosu, is constantly updated on the latest research shindigs, and the third post is a FAQ. Check all three every now and then because they may be updated.
There is to be absolutely NO discussion about piracy!. What this means is:
Do not ask for links to ROMs
Do not give links to ROMs
Do not say you downloaded a ROM.
Do not give "subtle" hints on how to locate ROMs.
I can't speak for all staff, but I'm just going to ban people for 2-4 weeks right off the bat from now on for doing any of this.
If all you're doing is asking for updates or generally being an annoying leech who contributes nothing to this project, expect to get a hefty infraction and/or a temporary ban.
Finally, if someone in here is breaking the rules (trolling, piracy, or any of PP's rules) or you THINK they might be breaking a rule, DO NOT RESPOND TO THEM!
It only encourages them.
Use the Report button. The Report button is the triangle with the exclamation mark inside it. It is in the lower left corner of every post.
REVIEW.
Do not ask, brag, link to, or give advice on how to get ROMS.
Follow all other PP rules.
Read the first three posts of the thread, and the most recent page or two of the thread before posting, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE ASKING FOR HELP!
Check the first two posts frequently for updates.
This is a research thread. Off-Topic conversation should be taken to the appropriate forum, or to Private Message.
Similarly, annoying questions such as "when is the next patch released" or "will X be in the next patch?" and other useless chatter may end up with your post being deleted along with possible infraction points.
If you think someone broke a rule, do not respond to their post or private message. Just hit the report button.
Also, please don't PM me questions about the translation project. I just moderate the thread. Please direct those to Kaarosu.
