Hello, and welcome to the RU tier! Like any subforum, the RU forum has its own set of rules, following these rules will help make your experience in this subforum go well.
To start off, pretty much any rule that applies in the other subforums and on Smogon in general (OU and UU forum rules for example) should apply here, however there are some specific rules that i'd either like to highlight or are exclusive to this tier.
1) please ask an RU moderator before making a discussion thread:
I'd really like all of you to get approval from an RU moderator before creating a discussion thread. New ideas are nice, but it's usually a good idea to check in with a forum moderator before impulsively posting something that's of low quality, too similar to another project, or anything of the like. RU forum Moderators should be happy to help out with new discussions, and even if an idea isn't initially approved they might be able to help out with your thread to make it a bit more presentable before you post, which is good for you, us, and the people who will post in the thread in the future.
2) Please do not make discussion threads about specific Pokemon:
One of the first types of threads that usually pops up in these new forums are threads about specific Pokemon. I dislike these kind of threads, they die fast and really clutter up the forum. If you want to discuss a specific Pokemon in detail, try the PS room, or in the np thread.
