I see. Could a workaround be implemented by adding a command that will ban said user as soon as they log on again? Again, not a programmer so I don't know the limitations.

I'm not a coder or programmer, so I'm not particularly familiar with the terminology used here, but from my understanding, a user who logs into Showdown creates a userobject for that session which is the target of room punishments such as mutes and bans. After logging out for long enough, that...

It's not a power if everybody can do it.

My avatar is a large child of indeterminate ethnicity greedily devouring a watermelon. I chose it because I thought it was funny.

Boats. It's a very well-kept secret of mine that I have an enduring fascination and appreciation for nautical vessels.

You mathematically have a 50% chance to win the lottery: your ticket either wins, or loses.

Arguing about racism, xenophobia, and other obviously bad things in a thread about posting dumb opinions and passing them off as genuine bulwarks of culture and class is fucking stupid.

Nutella fucking sucks.

Super minor issue, but there's a typo when using a Z-move; the user "unleases" its full force Z-move, rather than unleashing it. (Taken from a gen8 Natdex OU battle) BUG STATUS: FIXED by The Immortal

A mod in Lobby used !show to display an image that just happened to have some details about me that I would have preferred be hidden. I don't blame the mod for it because it was a honest mistake, but in our efforts to remove the image, we found that /hidetext hid the post with !show but not the...

Currently, in order to use dexsearch for past generations, you simply append the number of the generation to /ds; /ds7 searches content valid for USUM, for example. I find it strange that /learn doesn't do this, and requires you to prepend the command with the abbreviation of the gen in order to...

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but for the past few months, my iPad (running iOS 8) and my iPhone (running iOS 11) have both been unable to properly display any content from the Strategy Dex. Every time I try to access the Dex, the screen is filled with tons of empty space that...

I'm all for this wonderful change that completely and totally balances the metagame, but I can't help but feel like this formula should be made publicly available for analysis. In the name of transparency, of course.

The difference between Pinsir and Salamence is that Pinsir's poor defensive typing and okay-but-not-great bulk prevent it from finding the room to set up in many cases, and that flaw means it can be played around with intelligent switches and prediction. Salamence, on the other hand, has ungodly...

I'm kind of lost on the concept of checks and how to define them. They seem very nebulous to me. Like, soft and hard counters are ideas I am familiar with and can understand, but a check less so. I know, for instance, that a counter is a Pokemon that can switch in on any move from a given...

I suppose that makes sense, but that Deoxys-D example seems a little outlandish; if the only way to keep Deoxys-D in OU is to prohibit use of all its selling points, it's pretty clearly too powerful for OU. I'm also not implying that complex bans are meant for keeping broken Pokémon in OU by...

I would guess using Smeargle to breed Slack Off after Sketching a Slowpoke or something.

Is there a particular reason why Smogon refrains from issuing complex bans? My guess is that having complex bans would make the competitive scene less accessible, but I could be totally wrong.
