General policy on name resets

[haunter]

Hello, as of late numerous users have been contacting us in order to get certain "inactive" accounts reset on PS!. Please, from now on, before getting in contact with us, make sure you fulfill one or more of the following conditions:

1. you are a contributor to Smogon (badgeholder) or Pokémon Showdown! (coder - spriter);
2. you are a global driver-moderator and/or a Room Owner of a public room.

Exceptions to the above cases will be granted to:

1. particularly helpful global voices;
2. established community members who've owned the corresponding Smogon account for a long time.

Under any circumstance, account resets will only be granted if the applicant provides convincing reasons. For instance: "I really like the name" is not a valid reason to request a reset. Likewise, owning a newly registered account or having had a recent name change on Smogon doesn't qualify you for a name reset on PS!.

If you want an account reset and you think you're qualified for it, then feel free to send a motivated request via PM to Jasmine.

Thanks for the cooperation.
