RBY Forum Rules
RBY Forum Guide
RBY Moderators
These users are responsible for the RBY forum and will enforce the rules at their discretion. If you have any questions, ask them anything!
RBY Council
Smogon's official RBY Tiering is governed by a small council. Their responsibility is to ensure the RBY metagame remains stable, and they may engage in suspect tests and the like to this end. If you have any questions about tiering, they're the people you call up!
RBY Discord
Smogon has an official RBY Community Discord Server! Join for discussion about all things RBY -- including OU and lower tiers, tournaments, analyses, and more!
Our staff in the RBY Discord are as follows;

- Global Forum Rules apply.
- All threads should be approved by a RBY Forum Moderator (emma, Enigami, FriendOfMrGolem120, Serpi). Feel free to message any of them via Discord or Smogon if you would like to make a new thread and note which moderator approved the thread at the top of your post. Unapproved threads are likely to be locked.
- Don't post threads asking questions; use the Simple Question Simple Answer Thread instead.
- Don't post threads with competitive teams; use the Rate My Team Forum instead. Make sure you read their rules first!
- Don't post threads with non-competitive RBY topics; use the Orange Islands Forum instead. Make sure you read their rules first!
- Be nice to each other. You can disagree with another user while still being respectful. Don't engage in flame wars. If you see something, say something. Please contact a RBY Forum Moderator with any concerns regarding harassment, bullying, or any other unacceptable behavior.
- Ensure your posts are grammatically coherent, contribute to the discussion at hand, and aren't simple one-liners. Don't double post unless there's a significant amount of time inbetween.
