Could someone link me the discussion/suspect threads regarding Kyurem Black getting unbanned back in B2W2? It was such an interesting and unprecedented decision, and I want to see what people's reactions and thoughts were.
Chances are, for less active tiers, it would take a while to actually get a game if you try to search for one, so it's not really worth to keep it around. Besides, with challenge only, you can play with the same person as many times as you want without waiting.Speaking of it, why do tiers get demoted to "challenge only"? what is the problem of them being available for general play? challenging people hoping they just happen to want a game of a specific tier is extremely tedious, especially when you can only challenge one person at a time
The easy solution would be to allow queuing for multiple tiers, and having the option is still better than not having the option, you can rematch just as easily from a general match than from a challenge...Chances are, for less active tiers, it would take a while to actually get a game if you try to search for one, so it's not really worth to keep it around.

Except it's not an easy solution when it requires a whole new system to be coded to accommodate it + the fact that it doesn't help with the problem of ladder bloat, which is also a problem if we had everything available as a ladder.The easy solution would be to allow queuing for multiple tiers, and having the option is still better than not having the option, you can rematch just as easily from a general match than from a challenge...
No Smogon metagame have any arbitrary "no gen 8" or "no legendary" rules to them, so you're out of luck here really.Just joined looking to get help in building a new team from scratch and the only rule are no gen 8 or legends. Where would I go to start this discussion?
I know it’s not on smogon or showdown but I was hoping to come here for help to build a teamNo Smogon metagame have any arbitrary "no gen 8" or "no legendary" rules to them, so you're out of luck here really.
you'd be better off taking a look at Battling 101 to be tutored, learning and start building your own team, Rate My Team to see teams already built by the community or the Competitive Battling FAQ thread also works if you aren't familiar to the competitive aspect of PokémonI know it’s not on smogon or showdown but I was hoping to come here for help to build a team
everything is in the old gen 5 OU subforum, suspect thread was here: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/np-bw-ou-suspect-testing-round-7-ice-ice-baby.3473636/Could someone link me the discussion/suspect threads regarding Kyurem Black getting unbanned back in B2W2?

Prepare to be dissapointed, because as the fifth reply on the thread mentions, it was NOT a decision from here. It was copypasted from the PO's council. Here they would have never unbanned if PO hadn't done it first, and caused a large chunk of the playerbase to jump ship into their servers.Could someone link me the discussion/suspect threads regarding Kyurem Black getting unbanned back in B2W2?

Typing /commands gives a list of a lot of commands, though it doesn't seem to be all of them. For example, /ionext and /offerdraw aren't listed.is there a list of ingame commands anywhere? I've been using this for months and didn't know it possible to offerdraw until i saw a youtuber do it.
this thread could help you btw remember that this post is somewhat obsolete, some commands may no longer work or some new ones like /status may not appearis there a list of ingame commands anywhere? I've been using this for months and didn't know it possible to offerdraw until i saw a youtuber do it.
As you can see if you look on said birthday page, if no year is visible in the profile then it leaves the age blank.So if you go onto someone's profile, and click the blue link to users, you see categories of most messages, most reaction scores, today's birthdays, and site staff. The category in question is Today's Birthdays. Does that category show the age you turned into, even if you made your age invisible on your profile? Or does it just not show you said user who had their age invisible at all? Or does it still show you said user, but not their age? This confuses me so I figured I'd ask.
I’m pretty sure it’s impossible unless you got an admin to tamper with it. See: lifeisdankAlright. Sorry to ask a question the day after I asked one, but how do some people end up with negative reaction scores? By that, I mean they have a -(insert number here) for a reaction score. How does that even work?
Is It Just everybody that is staff, or something higher?Guys How Do I Change My Date Of Birth???
It says ask an admin, but idk who is a smogon administrator....

Also, feel free to post any suggestions you may have for Smogon here as well. Here's some of the stuff that's been put forward already:
Can we delete inactive accounts with 0 posts?
We're not deleting inactive accounts because chances are an older user could return and want their account back. The most that'll probably be done is name changes if a user is desperate for the name. But in general a purge is very unlikely in the near future.
Can we enable likes in Smogon conversations?
This feature costs money that we don't have unfortunately. Plus, the admins are programming more important things for the site, too.
Can we have a dropbox to export older teams into?
It's currently not possible for XenForo. You can upload teams to files and then upload them to Dropbox to share with friends, but XenForo does not support this.
Can we add Tapatalk, or some other way to view Smogon better on the mobile?
chaos is currently too busy to be able to have the time to implement something like that. You can try to make something for us though!
Can we have a darker Smogon theme?
NMx13 designed one. This thread has instructions (http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/smogon-dark-skin.3502839/) to add it in.
Can the search function look for three letter words?
Unfortunately not, but you can try to search on Google.
Can we have clans?
It's generally accepted that we won't have clans anytime in the future.
Can we have a ROM hacking forum?
We wouldn't get enough activity to really need a forum, as everyone goes to the other ROM hacking forums already and we'd have nothing new to offer.
Can we edit options in a poll?
Nope, Xenforo doesn't support that unfortunately!
Will we ever change the logo?
Nope, Smogon means Koffing in German, so unless we change the name there's... not really a point.
Then on the forum called "Pokemon Showdown" there is a thread called technical support. The first post may explain as to why you can't even enter it in the first place, and it's somewhere near or at the bottom that it may explain why. If you still have no clue as to why, then make a message about it in that thread. However, I recommend you do it in the way the bottom of the post tells you to.Hi! i just got a brand new server and i cant get on it
