all of this is irrelevant anyway, meloetta is an offensive pokemon and seismic toss is virtually non-existent in UU, making your spread suboptimal

you also ignored the first part of my vm so i'm just going to assume this conversation is now over ok? ok.

I don't think he would have to rewrite the analysis. He would just slash Thunderbolt before Hyper Voice and mention how 252 HP allows him to set up Subs unbreakable by Seismic Toss.

lol what? how is it preventing people from helping when there's a thread specifically designated for these situations. besides, i wouldn't make him re-write the whole set just to fit your EV spread... did you even consider that?

I'm not teaching you how to moderate; I just don't like when my posts are deleted for a reason as silly as "organization", and I think you should stop doing it to me and others. As a site that's striving for the best product possible in its analyses, Smogon shouldn't tell people to not contribute a potentially helpful idea or EV spread because they missed a deadline.

Hopefully, we can be on good terms from now on.

I like to keep my forum organized. Not to mention, instead of making such a big deal out of this and trying to tell a moderator how to moderate, you could have simply posted in the thread.

What's the reason for that, though? The analyses on site don't show the posts made in the thread, so I don't see the purpose of inhibiting the free flow of thought and suggestions. If you didn't like my spread, you could have given a reason for it in the thread. For example,

"The extra special attack in FlareBlitz's spread is important because it does X. Your spread misses out on an important benchmark, which is Y."

If you had simply said something like that, I would have understood and accepted it. You shouldn't delete posts unless they are completely off topic or malicious.

The only arbitrary thing about this whole situation is you calling your EV spread "better" when it really isn't. There is absolutely nothing arbitrary about "don't post in analyses once they pass QC".

So, just because I missed an arbitrary deadline, I can't suggest a better EV spread?

If so, that's really silly and just seems to be a case of "I'm putting my foot down because I can".

Hello,

Why did you delete my post in the Meloetta thread? I didn't make any malicious comments and I didn't go off topic. I just suggested a slightly different EV spread that I felt would have done a better job than the one that FlareBlitz suggested.
