The "Elite Four" title is reserved for the four webmasters of Psypoke: TonberryKing, Amphy, darkmind and Frost. It is unlikely that this will change in the near future, and thus nobody else will be given the "Elite Four" title.

The "Gym Leader" title is reserved for moderators of the forums. Moderators clean up offensive posts or spam and move inappropriate topics to other forums. Gym Leaders are chosen by the Elite Four on the basis of how people behave and contribute on the forums. Gym Leaders are appointed when an opening becomes available, and are chosen at that time. Simply contribute, and you will have a chance of becoming a Gym Leader.

By posting CONSTRUCTIVE topics and replies. Spamming, or repeated posting is frowned upon. Post topics which are worthwhile and create discussion!

The ranks are based on your post count. Contributing more will increase your post count. The ranks are:
Bug Catcher - 0 Posts
Pokefan - 25 posts
Pokemaniac - 50 posts
Cooltrainer - 100 posts
Pokemon Master - 250 posts
Pokemon Professor - 500 posts
??? - A LOT of posts

You will have to find out by getting there yourself. There's more ranks to achieve than the ones listed here.

The easiest way is to send a private message to one of the Elites: TonberryKing, Amphy, darkmind or Frost. You can also post in the Help Forum as anybody is free to post there.

This is a joint account between the four webmasters and is generally not used, so don't bother sending any messages to it, as a response is unlikely.

This is nothing more than an animated gif. Check out the Graphics Section for more info, or use the ones in the avatar gallery: look under Flashy Pokemon.

Either make one yourself or talk to the Graphics People and see if one would be willing to hook you up.

Official Psypoke Trainer Cards require the Psybucks system, which in turn requires the phpBB Cash Mod. Cash Mod for phpBB3.0 is still in development. Psybucks, and subsequently Trainer Cards, will return once the mod has been completed and installed. In the mean tim, feel free to request other cards in Slateport Market.

This is a simple guide with tips about how to be a spam-free member. Spamming is a serious issue that the Administrators and Moderators do not take lightly. Spamming is against the Forum Rules and excessive spam will result in a ban.

Spamming is making pointless, useless topics. They don't add to discussion, they aren't necessary, they are just there to take up space. It is NOT a good thing.

This is when you are the same poster twice in a row, this is annoying to other members and is a very lame way to increase your post count. Instead please edit your last post, or delete one of them and say you are sorry. It is very simple and polite, otherwise a Moderator/Administrator will delete it and give a warning/ban you.

Only post something that is a question, answer, or an important announcement/comment. Don't post things like: '' or one word posts like 'thanks' or 'what?!?!'. Please use full sentences.

if you want to talk to someone directly, PM them rather than making a new thread or post. Things like answers to a question or a useful comment can be posted on the thread. If you do something like: 'RaichuLatias what did you have for breakfast?' this can result in that thread being locked and you may get a warning.

Threads that haven't been posted in weeks or months shouldn't be posted in, there is a reason why people haven't posted in a while.

If you don't know what they mean you may need to just read it again, if you are still stuck just say so. Also please make sure your question/comment/answer makes sense by re-reading.

It really ticks everyone off. Please carefully look in the right forum for your answer, the answer may just be there. Or use the Search tool that is located at the main menu.

Don't go posting at everything you can see. Especially when the question has been answered, or if it has no relations to the topic. It can get very annoying, please if you have something to say that has no real use to anyone it please, don't post it.

Simple as that. Don't start conjuring up rubbish.

Make a new thread, it is that easy.

It is very likely that your question will be answered if you only post it once, if it isn't answered in the next couple of days post it again or PM someone that you may think know the answer to.

Think carefully where your question/comment should be put, if you don't know just take a put and say that you did not know and maybe request someone to move it into the right place. Your post is more likely to be deleted if you post something in the wrong forum.

Lame excuses can result you in getting in more trouble then you were before, just say sorry and don't do it again ;)

This is probably the worst type of spamming. It hurts people's feelings, and gives you a very bad reputation. If you flame hard enough it could result in an instant ban.

You know what is swearing, keep the language clean at all times.

Under no circumstances are you to post any adult-content at these forums. Doing so will earn you an immediate ban. We are extremely strict on this rule, so don't even think about it.

No worries, just make a post in the Help Forum and someone will answer your question.
