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.
Saw both of your posts in the cong thread and I have to say that I am relieved to see people that still not just have common sense, but also enough knowledge to know how useless such a thread is. And no, I am not being sarcastic. I applaud you.
