because of all the time we (mostly you) spent on that rules thread and how it has been completely ignored since you posted it :-x

Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.

Oh, yeah. I think changing it from "Got a cool idea for Birkal?" etc. to "READ THIS (link to rules)" would be better because then they won't be "OH HEY I HAVE A SUGGESTION FOR A METAGAME" or "SUGGESTION BOX MUST MEAN HELP MY TEAM RIGHT???" Idk something like that would (hopefully) lessen the bad traffic that forum gets.

Or we close the forum because like literally 1% of all suggestions even turn out to be implemented

Yeah, I was thinking of maybe having just a thread be made (actually that's kinda bad and could be worse so let's not do that) or just referring to a mod of the forum if someone has an idea to suggest. The suggestions are normally not god enough anyway, and it would be 10x better just to refer someone to a mod of the forum they are trying to suggest something for imo.
