How To Use This Forum

[scpinion]

For those of you that have never used a Google Group before, here is a basic introduction to how all this will work.

You will need a Google account to contribute, so either make a new one, or just use your existing one.

Please chose a "Display Name" that will allow you to be easily identified. Your main account on Pokemon Showdown would be a good choice. :)

If you would like to contribute an analysis:

Head over to the Reservation Index and check what Pokemon are available. You must get approved by a moderator before creating a new analysis.

Once you're approved, use the "New Topic" button to start up a new analysis. Make sure to follow the format in the Analysis Template. Also, check out the Guidelines to Writing an Analysis.

We want everyone's input on each Pokemon, not just the QC staff!

Feel free to comment on any Pokemon that has made it to the Quality Control (QC) stage! If the person is still using the Work in Progress (or WIP) tag, then save your comments until they change the tag. They are required to change the tag 3 days after creating the thread, so you won't have to wait too long.

Sorting/Searching

Clicking the little gray tags at the right of each post is the easiest way to search for particular threads. 

For instance, if I wanted to view all posts for Normal teams, I would click the "Normal" tag.

I know some of you have had trouble with a large amount of text appearing when you try to reply. That text shouldn't be visible when you actually send the message, so just ignore it. Alternatively, just ctrl+a (or cmd+a) to select all of it and delete it.
