Decision: Dom ghosting/speculating in ORAS Classic Round 1
Yesterday, during the match between AllFourtyOne and Poison Adhesive, dom publicly speculated about the sets of Poison Adhesive's team and the correct plays to make in order to beat the teams (Shown https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen61v1-984240413 here and https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen61v1-984243542 here).
Dom is one of 1v1's widely known community members in the 1v1 tour scene, and thus knew exactly what he was doing when he publicly speculated, and continued to do so after Poison Adhesive requested for him to stop. Not only that, but because of the higher position he has played in contributing to 1v1, he is expected to take the rules of the tournament scene seriously. There is no room to claim ignorance of the rules, and thus no reason to hold back any kind of punishment. The combination of this, and the fact that he did this two rounds in a row, will result in dom being tourbanned from scheduled 1v1 tours for the next 7 months, effective immediately. This will continue after dom has been unbanned from Smogon.
Everyone, pls be considerate with the choices you make and what you say during a tour battle. We are all just here to have fun, and by publicly siding with one particular party you are simply undermining the spirit of the competition; you basically deny both players the ability to win on their own accord.
If Dom's behavior persists, despite this development, further action will be taken, on Smogon and on PS!.
Edit: changed the ban from 8 to 7 months, reminded that he will be unbanned in 1 month, not 2
if mans is using 3 ttars then it's gonna be what we call "visible" I don't want to deal with rom that takes 20 clicks to upload 1 replayConcerning the Nexus Server, or any other side server for Gens 3 and 4 1v1:
To reiterate, please refrain from using any other battle server outside of ROM for Gens 3 and 4 1v1, for the time being. I understand that ROM has been reported to be laggy and have issues with saving replays. However, the primary reason for relying on ROM is due to the reliability of its continued existence; i.e. the replays we save for the tournaments will be kept up, and the metagames will be updated whenever unbans/bans are put forth. We won't have to worry about suddenly not being able to prove that we did our tour set, or worry that anyone will have to deal with a cheating opponent. Presently, we are working to allow people to use the relatively reliable Nexus, after Nexus has updated the Gen 3 1v1 and Gen 4 1v1 rulesets. Presently, it does not even enforce Species Clause in either tier. ROM's formatting for Gens 3 & 4 are up to date, and as soon as Nexus's are as well, you will be allowed to use that server.
Two players have already accidentally used Nexus in their posted tournament set. Since no rules with Gen 4 1v1 were broken, I will let this slide, but any future games done in Nexus, until Nexus is updated, will not count.
I will post a follow up in all threads who need to use ROM, as well as this one, as soon as I know Nexus has been updated, after which point you will be free to use either ROM or Nexus.
Yeah that was added in the main post for this threadIs there a sheet for standings ? (or is it planned to have one?)
Idk the whole situation, but even if the team is public giving advise on which move to click is still ghosting. According to this thread, linking the player a RMT of the team they are facing is allowed (although it mentions a teammate and this is individual tour, so your argument seems iffy anyway). However, the thread also specified that suggesting moves of any kind is Extremely Not Allowed. What dom did here is still ghosting by suggesting a move regardless of the team being known and should be punished for it.ok liberals agent Solar mother fucking flare comimg thru. So i was asked by the agency to do a post where i DESTROY u with facts just like BEN SHAPIRO does so here i am.
Ok so hosts and mods always say we follow smogon rules for infractions and bans but i dont see anywhere saying u cant tell someone about their the team your opponent is using dom's team is clearly public (the team is here
https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/1v1pl-iii-sets-teams-dump.3649770/#post-8132688) and here is what smogon says about ghosting
"Ghosting: Ghosting is defined as giving any piece of advice to someone playing a game. Any form of direct advice is considered ghosting. A player should be able to make their own decisions based on what they observe by themselves. Asking for suggestions or affirmation adds an unfair dynamic and greatly reduces the chances of making mistakes. Our tournaments are designed to be tests of individual skill, not the skill of one player with the support of others providing suggestions or preventing bad plays. Playing a game while in a voice call with someone else will always be treated as ghosting of the highest severity."
anyway i do know i prob didint link u to the right stuff or put the right thing segment about ghosting but i am in a hurry so the agency probably shouldn't have picked me but hope i make the agents proud one day

Dom never told any1 to click a move or anything in general it was just simply saying this mon has giga drain and there have been confusions about this topic like during wcup when alive said if he was able to watch some series live he would have told his team mate about the team the opponent is using but idr what we talked about so idk make some custom rules or just like say speculation of any kind or anything set/team related is bad btw people got banned and unbanned for speculation so fix ur rules zzzIdk the whole situation, but even if the team is public giving advise on which move to click is still ghosting.

dom: lost, hypothetically
dom: is "giga drain here" ghosting
Lost Heros: hypothetically
dom: bc i know its giga
He said: "giga drain here" which is for sure saying that someone should click that move, especially that he only later mentions that he knows it is giga. If he only wanted to say that giga drain was a move on this venu, then he would have just said that and not first telling someone to click giga drain on this turn. This seems very clear to me, but if you want me to get a TD involved I'm fine contacting them for you.Dom never told any1 to click a move or anything in general it was just simply saying this mon has giga drain and there have been confusions about this topic like during wcup when alive said if he was able to watch some series live he would have told his team mate about the team the opponent is using but idr what we talked about so idk make some custom rules or just like say speculation of any kind or anything set/team related is bad btw people got banned and unbanned for speculation so fix ur rules zzz
He asked is giga drain here ghosting he didn't say giga drain here i think there's a difference and if not u falsely quoted him anyw.He said: "giga drain here" which is for sure saying that someone should click that move, especially that he only later mentions that he knows it is giga.
