This is a forum for fans of Gyakuten Saiban series, known outside Japan as Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. It is also the official forum for the PW fansite Court Records, run by Croik (and friends~)

Please follow the rules listed below at all times when participating in the forum:


-NO FLAMING. Personal attacks of any kind will not be tolerated on this board. Phoenix Wright has a nice happy fandom so far and we all want it to stay that way, so don't air your personal grudges here. Everyone has a right to their own opinion in all matters but PLEASE, do so in a CIVIL manner.

Which brings me to another important point:

-NO FLAMING PEOPLE'S PREFERENCES. Our fandom is very diverse. This is NOT the place to argue the merits of liking certain pairings, etc. Court Records invites discussion on all topics and "don't like don't click" is the golden rule of thumb. You can discuss the pairing. You can not attack people for liking or disliking the pairing.

-NO ADULT MATERIAL. If you want to present a certain adult rated fanfiction/fanart/link, post a link to the work in question. Do not post or attach it here or it will be removed. No nudity, no sex, no extreme violence.

-POST IN THE RIGHT FORUMS. All personal introduction posts go directly to Press Conference, keep all spoiler discussions where they belong. Look before you post. If you are new to the forum please take the time to learn which forum is for which topics before posting.

Newly registered members will not be able to create topics in certain sections until they have gained a posting history, so be patient, learn the ropes, and please use the search function when needed.

-PLEASE MAKE ATTEMPTS AT GRAMMAR. If you want to be taken seriously use proper punctuation and keep spelling errors to a minimum. You are not Sal and no one is impressed by your 1337.

-NO SPAMMING. Though this is very open-ended rule, it makes life easier if your posts stay on topic and don't include a dozen quote boxes, macros, or smilie floods. Think before you post.

-ADVERTISING IS ONLY PERMITTED IN THE PRESS CONFERENCE. Do not advertise for your boards/games/home pages anywhere else or it will be removed.

-IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ANOTHER FORUMER, REPORT THEM. Do not engage your fellow members in useless arguments. Either simply report the post, or contact someone on the admin/mod team, and we will deal with the problem as quickly and smoothly as possible. The report button is the little "!" near the bottom of the post.

-IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A MOD, TELL CROIK. Do not engage the mods in useless arguments. As past experience has shown by now, snapping at a mod because you don't agree with their modly decision is the quickest way to get banned. If you don't feel you can talk to a mod in a calm, mature fashion, please save yourself some trouble and come to me. I will do my best to resolve the issue quickly and smoothly.

-IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH CROIK....Well, you can still come to Croik. I'm a pretty calm person most of the time. I have no problem accepting criticism as long as it's worded in a mature manner. Or, if your burning hatred of me is so great, talk to Wooster. Just don't whine. Which brings me to:

-DON'T WHINE. If you can't express yourself in a somewhat serious manner, we don't want to hear it. Please do not bump your own threads whining for people to post/review your fanworks/etc.

-KEEP YOUR SIG SMALL. Sigs are NOT to exceed 600x200 pixels, no exceptions. Everyone also is able to upload a 200x200 avatar if they so choose. Avatars are not to exceed 120kb in size, and Sigs 200kb. No warnings will be given if your avatar or sig is too large - it will be deleted. Text and quotes count into the size of the sig. DO NOT PUT SPOILER TAGS IN YOUR SIG. I don't care what's in it.

-DO NOT HOTLINK OFF OF COURT RECORDS. That means if you want to show off a piece of art or a sprite, host it on your own site/photobucket/imageshack. It hurts the site when you hotlink.

-LEAVE ROMS ALONE. Do not ask for roms. Do not ask for emulators. Do not ask for save files. Capcom is putting forth a tremendous effort to bring the games to us as quickly as possible. Please just be patient.

-BEWARE NECROPOSTING. This forum is not militant about necro-posting (posting in a thread that has been dead for a significant amount of time). However, if you search out an old thread, ask yourself if what you're about to say is really relevant before posting. If a thread is necro'd with pointless lol-ing or irrelevant banter, it'll be locked.

-YOU ARE ALLOWED ONLY ONE ACCOUNT. We do not smile on multiple accounts here. If you have more than one, don't freak out, we're not going to hunt you down. But if you get suspended/banned and use a second account to continue posting anyway, you are banned for life, no exceptions. If you find yourself suspended/banned and believe it is unjust, please come straight to me or one of the other mods OFF THE FORUM to have it settled.

-DO NOT POST SPOILERS IN YOUR SIGS OR AVATARS. What counts as a spoiler depends on what game is new at the time (psst, right now it's GK/AAI).

-DO NOT DARE ME TO BAN YOU. If the words "Go ahead and ban me" appear on my screen, my next three clicks will be going towards removing you from this forum. Maybe it's just a peeve of mine, but I can't stand that! It's happened before and it'll happen again, I'm sure.

And finally~

-BE COOL. In general we're all fun people here. A lot of us enjoy jokes and sarcasm. Sometimes it's hard to tell sarcasm online but this is a fandom forum, and if you find yourself taking it too personally or too seriously try to take a step back before letting it get the better of you. But at the same time, being an ass in the name of humor is not really humor, so remember that everyone is here to have fun and there's no need to be mean-spirited.

If you receive a mod warning for any of the things listed, believe that we're serious. Change your behavior or you will be banned.

If anyone has any more questions or suggestions, you can contact me through several different methods through my profile.

Have fun everyone~

I tried setting my signature image to http://x.jflom.com/files/pw/sig1.jpg but it says it is invalid. Is it somehow against the rules or some technical thing?

---

You should read a little more clearly:


The current picture in your sig is 182x184, which is fine, though since the above measurements are for the whole sig itself, it may be a bit too much with the text.




You can make a sig smaller by either cropping out excess parts (like blank space) which make the picture unnecessarily big, or you can resize the picture easily in any picture editing software (though how differs mostly by software).

---

It could just be the type of forum this is. I know that APnet rejects off-linked avatars. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

---

I posted before reading the rules am I banned

---

Yes, Carter. Totally BAN'D. And yet, the awesome power of your sig compells me to change my mind. Unban'd.

Speaking of banning, I've come up with some new additions for the rules:

-IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ANOTHER FORUMER, REPORT THEM. Do not engage your fellow members in useless arguments. Either simply report the post, or contact someone on the admin/mod team, and we will deal with the problem as quickly and smoothly as possible.

-IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A MOD, TELL CROIK. Do not engage the mods in useless arguments. As past experience has shown by now, snapping at a mod because you don't agree with their modly decision is the quickest way to get banned. If you don't feel you can talk to a mod in a calm, mature fashion, please save yourself some trouble and come to me. I will do my best to resolve the issue quickly and smoothly.

-IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH CROIK....hm, I dunno. Well, you can still come to me. I'm a pretty calm person most of the time. I have no problem accepting criticism as long as it's worded in a mature manner. Or, if your burning hatred of me is so great, talk to Anders. Just don't whine. Which brings me to:

-DON'T WHINE. Whining will bring down any number of punishments upon you, ranging from a quick kick in the pants to a shiny new Payne-a-tar, depending on the situation. If you can't express yourself in a somewhat serious manner, we don't want to hear it.

Thank you, that is all~

*is buried under hate-PMs*

Just a quick reminder to folks that the Court-Records forums are here for the benefit of the community, not the individual. If you report someone and a mod looks into the situation and determines that they've done nothing wrong, that's your cue to get over it. Continual pestering of the mods over an isolated individual incident will net you with the aforementioned Payne-a-tar or, god forbid, whatever other form of mod-entertainment I manage to come up with.

---

I am Interested in seeing this Payne-a-tar. If you need some extra cruel punishment, Feel free to use mine, if not already your idea.

---

Mind if I add text to that, Mikker?

---

Of course not.

---

Payne is shockingly buff.

I'd treat that as more of a pleasant surprise than a punishment. Maybe I should start whining about someone or something...

---

OK, I finally transferred. (shame that my post count is at 0 again... )

By the way, is my original avatar and my sig too big?

Sorry, I can't count pixels... :(

---

Right-click on the avatar/sig picture, hit "Proterties". Dimensions tell you how long and tall the picture is, Size is the file size of the picture. Both are acceptable, as far as I can tell.


And I'd say not to complain about the move. What's done is done, and at this point it's fairly late to undo it and tell everyone to go back to the old forum on a whim. Everyone else is settled in now, as you will be soon. Post count shouldn't mean much, anyway. Not as much as what's in the posts, at least to me.

---

Right-click on the avatar/sig picture, hit "Proterties". Dimensions tell you how long and tall the picture is, Size is the file size of the picture.

Not always possible, though. Alot of avatars and signitures on this board has the data becoming unaccessable when run through the transparancy filter.

---

Eat all the potatoes in the world and leave her with... ... ... I don't know... Onions and green peppers.

*read rules*

---

Um... Wooster?

...Your sig...

Man, Pazu, you pissed Wooster off BIG-TIME.

---

Worry not, citizen! Mikker comes to the rescue AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT!

---

Bring on the Payne!

---

I-I'll behave -

---

Wait! Wooster can't punish himself, can he? *head asplodes*

---

As I was bored of the big empty space under my posts, I made a new sig.
Unfortunately, my computer knowledge past 'How To Get On The Internet' is pretty much zilch, so... ummmm.... bites are smaller than kilobites, right? If so my sig's in size, but if not...crap.

---

It's fine, Impulse.

---

Should should only really worry about max size when you have animated sigs/avatars, really.

---

Thanks. I was just being careful, considering I've already been booked 3 times for my sigs/avatars.
I'll take the opportunity to say sorry about all that now. Sorry, I'll try and keep my sigs in size/un-hotlinked (which, in my defense, was before I knew what hotlinking was)/in file size, from now on.

---

Fixed my signature so it's not completely humongous now...

Well? Does it follow the rules?

---

It's fine. The text and pics add up to around 170 px. of height, as far as I can tell.

---

what is hotlinking?

---

http://altlab.com/hotlinking.html <=

---

I checked my signature twice but it still seems too big. Help?

---

It...is to big. Take out one of the pictures.

---

I ain't good at byte sizing so umm.. is my sig ok? *covers head*

---

Darzie the image is fine, but remember that the sig restriction counts Text as well. If you could squish your text higher, I'd appreciate it.

---

I'll see what I can do croik.

---

I just had a stupid question. If you have a big picture that you want to put in your sig, could you put it under a spoiler tag or something?

---

No, you tricky tricky Madfoot. If you're so anxious for someone to see your graphic genius, post it in Wright & Co.

---

I'm pretty sure mine's under measurements, but I just want to make sure.

---

Umm, how tall is text considered in pixels?

---

I dug this out of the old country. :3

---

How about this?

No offense, Croik...
