In an attempt to improve the integrity of Floatzel.Net and Victory Road, all news articles now require citation. Anyone not citing their sources may lose moderative powers; if you don't have moderative powers, you may be banned.

Plagiarism is a serious offense and I am treating it as such. We don't want any other Pokémon sites hating on us. (This is just a precaution for if it does happen.)

I think this rule is a little ironic because Serebii actually refuses to reveal there sources even though they're always accurate.

Isn't that because most of Serebii's news are leaks? I don't expect them to cite those.

At any rate, this is probably a good idea. But how are non-mods going to be able to violate this, seeing as they can't post in the news forum?

Yeah, but we're not Serebii. I would like to see everything cited because it makes us look more respectable.

Non-mods can violate it by posting the news on Pokémon General without citations.

Good idea, Cat. I would hate if someone plagiarized Mekahz, so I always cite.

Good idea. I never posted pokenews before so I never violated this rule.
Anyway, I will keep an eye on everyone who doesn't follow this rule.

All my articles are typed in my own words. There won't be any plagiarism problems from me.

Citing is critical when it comes to posting news, so I think this is a good decision.
