As the previous thread was both rather unwieldy and full of misleading information due to various rule updates, this is a brand new thread for asking for clarification regarding the site, trading, forum, and other rules. Please keep in mind that this thread is only for asking questions and receiving clarification. If you believe a rule should be changed or tweaked, please make a Suggestions thread with your reasons. Particularly good or common questions will be added to the posts here at the start of the thread. Rule updates will also be noted here.

The Most Recent Rule Update

March 16, 2024 The Type Race rules have been updated for clarity. The only change is allowing additional, specific items to be loaned or given away within a Type Race Team thread.
CHANGE LOG

February 08, 2024

Site Rules, Rule 5D: CAPS LOCK Adjusted to allow a small amount of CAPS, if the CAPS are only one line (as viewed on desktop) or two lines (if viewed on mobile) long. "As viewed by" refers to the person reading the post and how many lines the content takes on their screen. Trade Rules, Rule 11: Trade threads are single-use threads. Made it clearer that trade threads should not be used to host community trading centers or hubs.

Site Rules, Rule 8: Spoilers Added a link to the Spoiler Policy thread which displays the current spoiler embargos.

January 24, 2024

Site Rules, Rule 6: Art Usage Expanded the rule forbidding the use of AI-generated art on PokéFarm to the use of AI-generated content of any kind.

December 12, 2023

Site Rules, Rule 7: Legibility Removed hard requirements on font size, font type and contrast ratios between text and background colours.

May 3, 2023

Site Rules, Rule 14: Thread Conduct D. Posting YouTube Videos This rule, which previously forbid directly linking to YouTube videos, has now been removed. This was done to reflect the discontinuation of support for the [youtube] BBCode tag which allowed users to embed YouTube videos, as well as to reflect our offsite landing page.

April 10, 2023

Site Rules, Rule 3: Accounts E: Account Deactivation Site Rules, Rule 5: No SPAM A: No Begging Additional verbiage added to both rules to improve clarity. No changes to the actual rules or rule enforcement.

February 27, 2023

Site Rules, Rule 8: Spoilers A. New Pokémon Games New game spoilers will now remain embargoed on PokéFarm until the new Pokémon are added PokéFarm, OR until 6 months after the official release of the game, whichever comes first.

February 2, 2023

Site Rules, Rule 6: Art Usage D. AI-Generated Images Images created through use of AI-generation are not permitted to be used on PokéFarm. Due to the nature of their creation, there is no way to determine whether all artwork used by the AI to create the final image was obtained with the permission of the artist(s). This also applies to drawing and/or selling designs based off of AI-generated images. More information available here.

May 5, 2022

Site Rules, Rule 3: Accounts D. Account Details Updated to reflect the automated username change process announced here.

February 25, 2022

Site Rules, Rule 3: Accounts D. Account Details PokéFarm moderators do not have access to view your password information, and under no circumstances will request knowledge of your password. In the event your password is shared with anyone (other than a parent/guardian being aware of their minor child's password), or of any other account security breach, a moderator will manually reset your password, and you will need to select a new password on your next login.

Art Rules 8. Gachapon must include examples of your art. Each gacha tier must include at least one example of art, in order to demonstrate to your customers the general quality of art that they would receive if they purchase from you. Ideally, the example pieces should not be up for sale themselves, so that the artist retains all ownership rights.

January 27, 2022

Trade Rules 6. Off-Site Trading and Digital Goods (read carefully!). Trading PokéFarm digital goods for legal tender is not allowed. This refers to trading for PokéFarm items, currency, or Pokémon with other players by using real-life currency (including PayPal, other online currency transfer systems, or gift cards). Purchasing ZC from the site and using the ZC to trade is unaffected. You may only exchange PokéFarm digital goods for digital goods from other sites if the trade complies with the Terms of Service of the other site. You also perform such trades at your own risk. The ability of the Moderator Team to resolve issues with such trades is extremely limited. -PayPal: Per Paypal's Terms of Service, you are not allowed to ask your customers to pay the fees of a transaction, nor are you allowed to ask them to "send money to a friend" in exchange for a service or purchase. You may not use PayPal to trade with other players for PokéFarm digital goods.

  • Type Race Rule #3: Players may now make congratulatory posts in TR threads without the posts being deleted as spam. Use of the upvote/thumbs-up is still encouraged.
  • Type Race Rule #4: Players who wish to give away Pokémon to their team members may post about this once in the TR thread; however, team members who want to take them up on their offer need to PM them instead of posting in the thread.
  • Type Race Rule #6: The TR thread host OR the TR raffle host may post once in the TR thread every 24 hours to advertise a team raffle.
