Server update 1.0 + FAQ thread. Check here before you ask any questions!
Hello everyone. As of today, that lock on the subreddit is finally lifted! Before we go into what changed exactly, here's some backstory:
Our sub has had a couple people in the last two-three months that enjoy "completing" the requests without being staff or notifying anyone. Since that is against the rules, we track down and ask people to redeposit so a staff member can do them. So in essence, even if they do them right, we can never know thus it's troublesome for both the staff and user parties. If you're one of those malicious snipers buddy ummm... we didn't appreciate it.
So what did we do? We made a bot. Now whenever one of our friends feels like being a jerk, we shall change the way the sub works. Here's what will be changing for you, exactly:
- You use our sub's form as per normal. Please note that the pokemon you'll be depositing starting today are not the usual three, but it's a brand new list. Check the form to see it. Press the copy button and paste everything to the submit text box. Don't post yet though!
2)You paste it in the submission box but, you copy the "Deposit info" section of the form and delete it from there. Then you submit.
3)Our automod will reply to you with a slightly changed message, which will include a reddit "user". That's the bot. What we want you to do, is to Private Message that user. Put whatever you want in the title (try to keep it request-related, and in case you also message it for redeposits make sure that the word redeposit is in the title as well). In the text part of the message, paste the "Deposit info" you had copied, including a link to your request. The bot will reply to you once it has been processed, and that is that.
Here's a gif showing the general concept of what we're talking about regarding the PM and deposit info. Note that it is not necessary to delete the link if it's already in the message. Just paste the deposit info below it and you are fine.
Note: If you do NOT get a reply within 10 seconds or so, there might be something wrong with the bot. Retry sending the message, and if it still doesn't reply to you, contact us ASAP.
And that's about it. We'll take care of the rest. If you fudged something up and lost the deposit info part you had copied before you could paste it, it's fine. Just type the details out yourself in the PM (the format isn't strict for the PMs compared to the actual request).
There might be some issues that will need addressing, so if you see anything wrong, or even if you have some sort of feedback for this, tell us! Please excuse us if everything comes crashing down.
#FAQ
###My request got rejected, what went wrong?
###I try to post and it says "you are not allowed to post here". Am I banned?
Not really. We have a schedule, and you usually get that when we're closed. Well either that or you're banned.
###Rules say no editing the requests. What if I made a mistake?
You can edit your request, provided a genner has not gotten to it yet. If you do edit it, if a file helper has already made a file please reply to his comment informing him of the change as well.
That does not mean you get to change it over and over and have them redo it all the time! Please understand their position, and only request a change if it's absolutely necessary. Make sure you think it through so there aren't any more mistakes that you'll be asking to be changed later.
###What is this TID and SID I see? How do i find them?
These values are necessary to make the game think a pokemon is truly yours (so you can change nickname etc). Specifically you need these values, alongside trainer name and gender to match. Which also needs to be followed up with...
###What is the nSID and nTID stuff I see? Are they different from the above terms?
###I don't see my question listed here, what should I do?
Either drop it as a comment on this thread, or contact us through modmail. But please make sure people haven't asked it already.
More to be added if asked repeatedly. But that's all for now folks. Enjoy being able to request again ^_^ But everyone knows you are here just for the...
Cat fact of the day: The term “puss” is the root of the principal word for “cat” in the Romanian term pisica and the root of secondary words in Lithuanian (puz) and Low German puus. Some scholars suggest that “puss” could be imitative of the hissing sound used to get a cat’s attention. As a slang word for the female pudenda, it could be associated with the connotation of a cat being soft, warm, and fuzzy.
