The clans section of the forums is where users may create clans. Clans are a group of users who share a common interest, such as a certain type of Pokémon or fandom. They must be approved before creation.
Types of Clans
Clans are arranged into three categories, Clans, Other Clans, and Country Specific Clans.
Pokémon Clans
This section is for clans related to Pokémon or Pokéfarm in general.
Other Clans
This section is for clans that don't relate to Pokémon or PokéFarm and can include common interests or fandoms.
Submitting a Clan
When applying for a Clan, a form must be filled out. The application for submitting a clan can be found here. From the form, you must fill out a Clan Name, the type of Clan, and a description explaining what the Clan will entail.
If a clan is approved, the user will receive a Personal Message with a link to create the new thread. The thread will be locked upon creation but can be unlocked once the user is ready to make the first post in the clan. However, if a clan is rejected, a Personal Message will be sent by System Salamence explaining the reason of rejection. Accepted and rejected clans will appear on the ModWatch.
A clan may be rejected for the following reasons:
- It is a duplicate of a preexisting clan.
- The description is too vague.
- The clan serves little purpose.
- The clan is too specific. Explain
- Promotes spam.
- Applied for in the wrong section.
