Can we add a subforum under Nintendo Treehouse for Pokopia to be accessed on the main page? I feel like the game is close enough to Animal Crossing that it deserves it.

At this stage, we'll wait and see how much discussion there is around Pokémon Pokopia first. It's always possible to create a board and move threads over later if needed!

I want to give a bit of feedback about the rules, but the feedback thread is closed (understandably, probably for the best). just wanted to say that I appreciate giving rules about member conduct, *and following that up with behaviour that is allowed*. instead of just making a demand and implying a "that's the rules, just follow it", it's more like "these are the rules, here is what you can do instead, and we encourage respectful discussion about it."

I thought about asking if we might get another public thread where people can respectfully debate site rules, but honestly I don't know if I trust people that much anymore. the internet is a wild place and I'm still not feeling so good over what happened last year. but in respect of leaving the past where it belongs, I just want to say that I appreciate the revamped rules.

I am once again looking to see if someone would have the answer to a question of mine! Is there maybe a rough guide somewhere on yearly TBT events? Like you can expect something for Christmas, New Years, Easter, etc. It would also be nice if maybe there was a guide somewhere to TBT events past, I'd love to see what kind of events were held on these forums

Hellooo!

There's no guide, but all of the original event posts get posted in the Bulletin Board, so you'll be able to see past events there in chronological order! Usually, each year we hold events for Valentine's Day or Lunar New Year, Easter/Bunny Day, Halloween, and Christmas/Toy Day. We also hold an event to celebrate diversity. There's no guarantee these events will be held each year (for example, we didn't hold a Christmas event last year, but we did hold a New Year event).

There are TBT Fairs, often every two years, but not always. We also irregularly hold a camp-themed event, and a gaming event (TBT World Champsionships).

There are sometimes additional mini-events as well.

Thank you!! I didn't realise ~Kilza~ and Jeremy had been keeping this updated!

Re-reading through the new Rules and Guidelines, I noticed that under “Prohibited Content”, the “promotion of terrorism” was omitted, but it was stated in the old rules. Shouldn’t terrorism and seditious content also be under “Prohibited Content” in the new rules?

This would already be covered under some of the other prohibited content rules and policies (not all of the points listed may be applicable in any given case):

2. Prohibited Content​

Do not post any content that contains or promotes the following:

• Political discussions, rhetoric, slogans, or campaigning [ Policies on Politics & Religion ]
• Religious discussions or promotion of religious beliefs [ Policies on Politics & Religion ]
• Discrimination, bigotry, or hate speech [ Policies on Discrimination & Bigotry ]
• Graphic or realistic depictions of violence
• Advocacy for or celebration of harm or death to others

Thanks for letting me know. I was thinking that terrorism is so serious that it deserves a mention in the rules (or even its own page), but this site never really had a case related to terrorism (like terroristic threats or false accusations of terrorism).
