Solomods Rules & Regulations
Introduction
Welcome to the brand new Solomods subforum!

Solomods are a subset of Pet Mods where all changes are made by either a single person or very small group of people. Ideas that don't quite fit into the definition of Other Metagames or Pet Mods also go here.

The Solomods subforum is a very laid-back place, meant to be a place where you can share your unique ideas to your heart's desire. However, as with everything on these forums, there are still rules that you must follow.

Rules
First and foremost, all general Smogon and Pet Mods subforum rules apply here.

In addition to general Pet Mod and Smogon rules, the Solomods subforum has a few of its own rules that you must adhere to.

- All initial Solomod submissions must be made in the Solomods Megathread. Do not create a new thread to post your Solomod without permission.
Only certain Solomods will be given their own threads (explained more in-depth later), so any Solomod that you post must first go into the Solomods Megathread. The Megathread serves the same function it did in Generation 8, acting as a sort of Team Bazaar and discussion thread for Solomods, a place where you can post your ideas and get feedback on them. Any approved thread posts will be deleted.

- Certain Solomods will receive permission to have their own threads in this subforum. These Solomods are selected periodically by this subforum's moderators.
For Solomods that become popular enough to warrant having a bigger place to generate discussion and put resources, some will be able to have their own thread. Solomods will occasionally be approved for a thread by our forum moderators, usually due to them becoming popular or otherwise too big to contain in the Megathread. Before posting your Solomod in the Megathread, if you feel that your Solomod is already deserving of having its own thread (likely from it already having an established playberbase or being a popular mod from Gen 8), then you may ask the moderators for pre-approval to post your thread.

- Up to 2 distinct Solomods per person can be posted in the Solomods Megathread. Solomods with their own thread do not add to this total. After posting one Solomod, you must wait 7 days before posting or unretiring another one.
This is to prevent the thread from being spammed with many Solomods from the same person. This limit may be increased in the future. Both of your Solomods must also be significantly different. If all or most of the elements from one of your Solomods could be easily added to your other without clashing with its premise, then they are too similar.

- If you wish to post more than 2 Solomods in the Megathread, you must retire one of your other 2 Solomods and wait 7 days to either post your new Solomod or unretire your old mod.
This is simply another measure to prevent spam in the Solomods Megathread.

- Discuss the Solomods of others in a respectful manner in either the Solomods Megathread or their respective threads.
This forum is meant to be a fun place to share your creativity, so please be respectful of the ideas of others, even when they don't line up with your own tastes. You can offer criticism, but it must be constructive and Solomod owners have all the right in the world to not make suggested if they don't want to - it's their Solomod after all.

If you have any questions about the rules or the subforum in general, feel free to ask Yoshiblaze, AquaticPanic, DuoM2, or Scoopapa

That's all! I look forward to seeing your ideas!
