Rejected - Inactive Chat Quality of Life Improvements

1) Clickable text that will post privately in chat
Let names of pokemon either shown in the nickname slot, or whenever it shows up in the chat (fsdaffd sent out Aegislash!), post /dt [pokemon] for faster and more intuitive look ups.
Optional: posting /dex instead of /dt or posting /weak when the steel ghost typing is clicked after /dt is posted.

2) Enhanced user ignore
Not a personal experience but should someone have a trigger seeing another user online, allow them to do /ignorehide [user] or /hide [user] to remove their name from the userlist. Same rules as ignoring where you cant just hide an admin etc.


3) Allowing to do /rank [tier/username] instead of /rank [username], tier
Longer nicknames add up time when trying to find a rank, and longtime users have built up a trophy list of metas. Typing in /rank chrispyburns, gen81v1 could just be shortened down to /rank gen81v1 and it defaulting to your own username just as /rank does.


4) Disable battle redirects when in single panel mode
This mode looks like it was built for double monitors or just for simplicity. If I were to run battles on one screen and chat on the other, the battles would pop over the chat screen every single time a new battle is found. There might not be an easy way to make separate windows differentiated but making single panel mode override the new battle screen sounds like an easier fix.


5) Tour resizing, new losing line, and personal highlighting
Massive tours are a pain to navigate. Tours would be better if they scaled with the window and truncating names as box size decreases. If boxes could expand and collapse with a click to show full usernames that would solve clarity issues with the truncating.
Your own box in the tour should have a unique boarder - either with a color or a unique shape but must catch the eye. This will make it easier to see where you are at in the tour and if you have no battles left, or not participating, you will know that you dont need to worry about the tour.
Black and white mode for wins/losses for aesthetics and especially as a color blind option.
Multi elimination tours need to be more blunt about the fact that you are out. Maybe instead of Waiting for battles to become available, it can be changed to 4 Battles remaining. This will also be blunt and polite about your elimination as it will say 0 battles remaining. Helpful during round robin tours as well.

Because I'm limited in ms paint, these are just mockups of what can be done. Left name highlight, right a more colorblind friendly option.


Sorry for the long post, thank you for reading it through.

The problem with doing this is you can have users and formats with the same name technically, so from a computer's POV theres no way to tell if your targeting a user or format. You can always autocomplete your name by putting in the first few characters of it and hitting "Tab".

Can you clarify what you mean by this? Are you saying /ignore should hide the user your ignored from the userlist or?

Yes it should hide the user from the userlist. Maybe it would be better as /ignore (username), hide or something.

If we went this route, wouldn't it make more sense to just add that to /ignore rather than making a new command?

Though honestly, why implement this?

Go ahead and skip this one, the others are far more important.
