The Public Forums is a section on PokéFarm Q. It is a place where the community of the game can communicate, and holds many functions. It is not part of the game itself, so users can ignore it entirely if they desire. It can be accessed from a link at the top-right corner of each page.

Make sure to read and understand the Rules before posting. You should also read the stickied threads of a forum too.

Navigating the Forums

Sections of the Forums

The Forums are divided into four major collections. Each collection contains related forums, and each forum can have multiple subforums.

Core

Announcements

The announcements section of the forum is a location for the sites staff to post important or notable information to update players on changes made to the site, the implantation of new rules, or reminders for staff and players. This forum consists of one sub forum.

News Archive

The news archive is a location for old, or outdated announcements to be stored.

Suggestions

The suggestions section of the forum is dedicated to suggestions made to improve PokéFarm Q. Here players may suggest changes made to PokéFarm Q and users or staff members can discuss them, after some time the staff decided to approve or to decline the suggestion. Suggestions of features from the old PokéFarm should not be made, as they are most likely going to be implemented.[1] A detailed description about the suggestion process is located in the Suggestion forum acceptance/rejection/deletion-etiquette.

This sub forum currently has three sub-forums:

Approved

Suggestions that are approved by staff, and will be put into the site are locked and moved into this subforum. This subforum acts as an archive of PokéFarm Q's upcoming features.

Rejected

Suggestions that the staff and users deem to be unfit for the site, are moved into this subsection. This subforum acts as an archive for the features that will not be added into Pokefarm Q.

Completed

When an approved suggestion is competed, the main post then gets moved into this sub-forum, here, all current user-suggested features of PokéFarm Q are archived.

Help

The Help section is constructed for members to ask questions about the site, and have them answered by other users, or staff members. A notable thread is the Questions about Site Rules-Thread, here you can ask questions mainly regarding the Site Rules. It is also advised to look through the other threads or the FAQ before asking a question, not following this rule can result in a short mute.[2] The Guides have also helpful answers.

FAQ's

FAQ is short for Frequently Asked Question. Questions of importance or significance are moved here once resolved.

Bugs

This section of the forum is made to report bugs or errors in the site. It is important to provide as much information as necessary to help solving a bug. As a guideline it is possible to use this Bug Report Form.

Journals

Each user may create a thread here to log their game progress. A Journal can be used as a diary, to post your adoptables, to keep track of Shiny Hunts, as a To-Do-list, to post art or in any other way a user wishes, as long as it follows the Site Rules.
