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.
I'm sorry, I got called in to work almost immediately after update and I am just now getting off so if you're missing a result those are coming out right away.
or if you will refuse to talk to everyone who approaches you about the game. villagers who won't trust A SINGLE PERSON are only hurting the town. you can pick who you think is the cleanest to claim to/discuss with but at least do something or you might as well be idling.
Forum PMs are a thing too and I strongly recommend them in time zone conflicts or when giving your results but it's generally a good measure of activity and involvement in the game if people don't come on irc / don't make it easy to have conversations with them
