I thought you only needed permission to use a sprite if you were editing it, like recoloring? Please correct me if I’m wrong, I don’t work with sprites so may have misread somewhere haha.
Forgive me if that’s what you actually meant though haha, I read it as “can I use it on my profile” lmao
Hello hi, it is I, making an entrance cuz I have questions about SPAM.
A few months ago, Suriya posted this in the Galar thread and, honestly, I still think about it a lot for someone who hardly quotes at all:
I agree it's quite annoying to see the same two people in a thread quoting each other like those long nestled Tumblr posts rather than taking it to PMs but there's nothing in the SPAM subsection of the Site Rules, old or updated, addressing the use of quoting (or excessive quoting) when it's something everyone should be aware of. I could have just missed it, or perhaps it's a matter of common sense, but shouldn't this rule be put in the Rules? And for that matter, how many quotes stacked on top of each other does it take to be considered SPAM?
Also! Assuming forum-based posts are still required to have at least three words minimum, do reply posts such as "ok" or "Thanks!" count as SPAM? (specficially of the "not worth the time to read" variety?)
EDIT: Thank you for adding the rule on quotes!

This is a general reminder that continuously quoting over and over is considered SPAM and it is not allowed [. . .] while I AM leaving them intact for the sake of the conversation, I want to ensure that everyone understands that it is in fact a rule that is being broken and should not be done going forward. Thank you for understanding.

I have a question regarding this part in the art rule "You may not sell traced art. This includes official Pokémon artwork. "
Whats the difference between selling a modified officiel artwork and a modified sprite? How about if the drawing share the same pose as the artwork, it's that still consider tracing?

Is there a chance the new rules could be pinned/linked to the Rules tab rather than being linked in the old deleted rules that are still linked to the Rules tab?
I'm not sure if there was a reason for it not being replaced instead of just linked but it'd be much more convenient compared to having to copy paste a link rather than just seeing the Rules when you click Rules
You can edit your own bookmarks! You can manually update the link to go to the new one yourself. (More... -> Edit Bookmarks -> Free-form Edit)
I don't think there's a way to automatically update it for everyone since it might mess with people who have changed that tab to be something different.
It might be nice to have that information somewhere though, since it's a feature not many people seem to know about, haha.
Those tabs are actually your bookmarks - if they have been altered by the player then they will also need to be replaced by the player.
However, thanks to your bringing this to our attention, we have been able to look at what they are initially set at.
That link now goes to the correct location, and it's possible (though we are NOT certain!) that if you've never saved the bookmarks yourself then it does use the "DEFAULT_BOOKMARKS" set which were just updated. There's a chance that if you've never saved them yourself that it should now go to the correct location.
But if you have ever saved them yourself then you will need to manually update them.
Completely forgot we could edit/change those, whoops! I've updated mine though now, thank you both :)

I just have a question about contests-
in the old contest rules, it says "Users must be 15 years old or older to submit a contest application".
I'm wondering, will that rule still exist (can't find in the new)? And as a smaller question, why is that rule there (I'm assuming for the same reason as clan creation)?
It still exists and the contest rules had been amended shortly after you pointed it out. It's indeed for the same reason as clan creation.
