I think this form needs to be edited to make it easier for the player. Especially those of us with limited time and phone restrictions. Scrolling through pages and copy and pasting is hard on my phone. My suggestion is to remove the link line. Since the trainer card line is already on there. You can find the same information easily by going to the section marked level ups with the deductions. This information is also in the pokebank beyond those two it feels like an unnecessary step.

This was a request I put forward for the achievement thread, but was dismissed on the basis of wanting to make sure that everything is legit and needing proof to make sure that everything was accurate.
Basically, I already run the story, whilst studying full time and working three jobs, whilst volunteering enough for a fourth, and me having to now dig through the Pokebank thread to confirm that level ups were legit is another bit of work for me to run the game. I had a look at the bank thread. The posts have the links, so it is literally a matter of copy and paste on the players. Basically, by putting the task of finding the posts on me, it leaves me with more I have to do to confirm posts, which also makes posting updates take longer.
I approved Nobles reimbursement in a matter of minutes because she filled the form out correctly. If I had to find the post to verify it myself it would take three times as long.
Basically, I understand that it is a pain, but the difference between ten players spending a few minutes to find the link, and me spending a half hour trying to find ten players links makes it necessary.
Honestly you could look right in the bank and all the levels were already claimed will be updated on the main post. I look through that stuff before i put it there.
With this reimbursement form it should just before for our records it shouldnt have to be approved. Its more for the player.
This is why i made the old form just have a claim added into it.

Look, I will be straight with you here. For players to gain points outside of posting it needs to be approved by a person in a position of authority. Even the sketchpad involves players being awarded points by the assessor. Players can't just add points to their card without approval.
So basically if you want this removed, you have to approve any and all reimbursement forms. Otherwise, I am not going to be told that something has to be changed that involves more work for me when really, what I am asking isn't unreasonable. Even on a phone, you open a new tab, open the Pokebank, hold down the link and click copy link location. The difference between this for you is an extra couple of minutes, but for me it longer because I am doing this for everyone. So yeah if you want this field removed, you have to be the one to verify and approve.
Let's have a look at the post count in blizzard blue, shall we? Desolate Divine: 3 posts. That's right, I didn't stick around in Blue, because I see it as a sad attempt to relive the glory days of pe2k.
Let's have a look at the rules for Blizzard Blue, shall we? Nothing in the rules about how you don't spend more money levelling up before evolving.
Let's have a look at the rules for Platinum, which were written by yourself, shall we? Abso-freaking-lutely nothing in the rules about how you don't spend more money levelling up before evolving.
My stance isn't unreasonable. You want this change, I don't. This change has more affect on me than it does on you. So if you want this change to happen, you need to pick up the extra work it is going to bring for me.
And I'd think twice before making comments like that last sentence of your post. Insinuating that I am somewhat at fault because I don't understand something that you have not communicated properly.
Now what's it going to be? Are you going to help me in order to make this change happen, or are you going to expect me to pick up the slack from what YOU want?
