Custom format is entirely for testing - missingno isn't a competitive pokemon. Hackmons is a close variant and competitive alternative to custom games. This has been suggested previously but won't be added.

Recently I've found out a problem in PS! server. Although the server can recognise a person's alts, it cannot provide the function to block the pm from the alts when another user ignores that person. Therefore, there are people who abuses this problem in the ignore system and keep on creating alts to annoy other users. Therefore I hope the moderators can fix this issue in the ignore system, and make it capable of blocking all accounts from a person.
I have a suggestion. Why can't roomvoices make gchats. I remember having a discussion with some other people about this a while back and I know that right now, you have to be a confirmed user to make a gchat. While roomvoices don't have power like drivers+ do, its not like voices are going to create the gchats that caused them being locked to confirmed users anyway (and not everybody like it was before) because they have something to lose. And if they do surely it would be very easy to track that user down regardless?
EDIT: The ladder tour room has everyone as roomvoice so you could probably just exclude people who only have roomvoice in that room. Same for any future room similar to that.

Hi there~
Sorry if this suggestion was already asked but I'm going for it
We all know that the only way to report someone is to contact a gmod/gdriver with screenshots. I was wondering if it was possible to create a /report command. When doing this command it will show up a link where you can report someone. In this link that's how I'll see the page :
Reported user : write his username
Reason(s) : multiple choices (Inappropriate username, spamming, harassment, impersonnating staff)
Details : additional details (not necessary tho)
Screenshots : proofs (not necessary but recommended)
And in the bottom right there will be the date and the user who made the report. If that would happen it'll need a lot of improvments but it's just the beginning/idead

Some rooms use room voice for tour wins, games that require modchat etc. There's no need to forbid rooms from using the voice status in various ways just to allow groupchats for voices.
We're still thinking about ways to roll it out. We actually did have a report command but it was removed the same day due to abuse.
Hi there~
Here's an suggestion :
Create a different format where you can try out some mons before a suspect test. When I say "format" I mean a PTR (Public Test Realm) functionnality. I've thought about this idea recently. For example, in 2015 we had a suspect test about Aegislash coming back to OU. We had some possibilities for example Aegi coming back but without King's Shield. Now there were some questions about the metagame itself : will it be stable, are fairy types going to be weaker, will stall disappear ect...ANd the problem was we couldn't test anything. We were only able to test it with custom game which is only possible by challenging. That was my idea : to create a PTR-like functionnality. I don't think suspect test can do that. I think the use of the suspect test is to acquire coil to vote. But when it comes to test something there's nothing so yeah.

When voting for polls could we get something that says "are you sure you want to pick this option" or something along those lines
I and many others(based on what I read in chat) often pick a choice that we didn't want because the chat moved up from people talking.
This doesn't really do much since most polls are for fun but for the tournament room they often use this to pick the next tournament. Sometimes the results are really close and could have easily been different because a few people clicked on the wrong one.

Rather than just being able to check a box, earn the right to use Shiny pokemon by winning tournaments, winning ranked games (with said pokemon?), or achieving other goals related to Showdown.
It makes the shiny aspect of Pokemon meaningful again, and rare. It also can promote the use of less popular Pokemon.
Does not apply to Pokemon who require it for certain movesets (extremespeed suicune/raikou/entei) etc. So there is no competitive integrity lost.

For this problem in polls, there's an option to vote in the chat. You'd type /poll vote (insert option number). That way you don't have to worry about the chat scrolling and your vote counting on an option you didn't intend to. Hope this helps!
So....still a no go on this?
I think a lot of people would benefit from simply being able add notes to their team or individual pokemon. Something more immediately accessible than a word document or pad of paper.
Wishful thinking here, but it would also be cool if there was a option you could check while in a battle that would display your notes as well.
Can we please make it so we can see who won/lost tour games in chat again? like when it said "Example One lost the game 0 - 1 against Example Two" in bold.
Or as an alternative you could implement a command for it such as "/tourresults, hide/show" or something that makes it so the room owner/mod that started the tour has the option to make it so users can see the results in chat like before, or keep the results hidden, thanks.

you can still see who won in the tournament, the "battle between user x and user y!" becomes "user x has won 5-2 against user y" instead of creating a new line of text. alternatively you can use the pop out button to see who has won in the brackets (however a command for results would be nice for mobile users who cant pop out the brackets)
SparksBlade Thanks bro, but my bad for explaining it miserably, lol!
I was looking for a potential "Doubles"-lead-usage, so how much did people send out Kangaskhan / Smeargle, Kangaskhan / Xerneas and so on :)
Excuse me!

the link sparksblade gave has vgc leads, just use ctrl + f (or whatever you use to search) and search for vgc
Hi there~
Here's a small suggestion :
When joining a PS tournament, during every matches, there will be an /autoblockpm command that will block player's pm during their fights. I
It's basically the same for Smogon tournaments. That's to prevent ghosting

Might be useful sort battle list for descending rating on PS?
Multi battles.
Yes, I get that. But it doesn't show up lead-combinations - if this could be possible, I'm fine.
What do you mean by "multi battles" ? Do you mean playing with another friend ?
I think he means multi battles. Anyway, it's on the to-do list (which I will update into the OP someday maybe).
So, still no opinions on this one?
Is there any possibility to add custom challenge that enforces intergenerational tiers and to be integrated into tournament system? For example, I'd like to host XY Ubers room tournaments with proper legality. This extends to bw1, ruby and sapphire, and etc. I'm not asking for ladder or anything. This can be just a command for users who know what they're doing.
