Smogon Simple Questions/Suggestions

That is called a custom title and is only available to badgeholders sadly
:/ Ah well. Thanks for answering my question though! What are the badges from? Having mod and things like that? Oh and I have seen the world COIL rankings thrown around a lot, how can I see my COIL ranking, since I think everyone has one? Sorry about so many questions I'm just a curious person by nature.

While trying to post to the Rate My Team forum, my laptop refuses to click on any of the prefixes. this means I effectively cannot post a thread. While I understand this is more of a personal, technical problem, I was wondering if anyone had experienced this or knew of any other ways to get my RMT posted?

You'll have to have played at least a few games in a tier on Pokemon Showdown. Log onto Pokemon Showdown and click your username at the top right, then click your username again. You should be directed to a page with your ranking, which includes your COIL. Alternatively, type /rank "your username" in any chat/room on Pokemon Showdown, and you should see the same thing.

Thanks! That definitely helped answer my question!
 
And btw sorry for asking this too, but how exactly do I apply for tutoring?

Smogon's tutoring program is found here: http://www.smogon.com/forums/forums/battling-101.42/ In order to join, post in the sign up thread that is posted at the beginning of each round. Each round lasts for about three weeks, so a sign up thread should get posted about every three weeks. However, right now the program is on winter break, and will next be available in January. The schedule thread is found here: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/2015-battling-101-schedule.3524485/

I would recommend choosing "watch forum" on the battling 101 forum to get notified when a new thread is posted, this will help ensure you don't miss the next sign up thread. I would also recommend choosing "watch thread" on the scheduling thread to learn ahead of time what time of day the next round will be posted, so you can sign up as soon as possible (spots go really quickly). However, it's likely the B101 staff will create a new scheduling thread for the next year, so you'll need to watch that thread when it gets posted (if you watch the forum, you'll know when it gets posted).

Hope this helps, and welcome to Smogon :)
 
Yea that exactly, i wanna know how to buildd a well constructive team, but the videos and guides here are a little hard for me.

EDIT sorry i responded slowly, and most guides in smogon are helpfull, its just that I find the difficult
 
How can I add a picture to a thread I made? Sorry for such a basic and dumb question, I'm a newb at forums.

It's on the menu next to the smiley face; you need to put the image url
 
Would anyone be willing to post an ORAS LC RMT for me? My laptop won't allow me to start a new thread but I wanna see if anyone has advice for my team.
 
There's an entire thread called "Rate My Team" on the home page here, you should be able to find a LC specific thread there and ask someone to look at your team.
 
The problem is that my laptop won't allow me to choose a tag when i try to start a thread in the RMT forum (it's a chromebook and doesnt work very consistently). Hence, I was hoping someone would kindly start the thread for me.
 
You would be better off waiting until you are able to write and post the RMT yourself, in all honesty. Posting an RMT for someone else seems atypical of the way the RMT forum usually works / the threads that are normally created. If you need immediate advice, you could always try the RMT room on Pokemon Showdown.
 
I've asked the moderator who said he had no idea what was wrong or how to help... While I understand it is atypical, it's currently the only solution I an think of, as I do not have another computer available.

Your options are really:
1) Pastebin the team and ask the chat in the RMT room.
2) Wait until you're able to post the RMT yourself.

I'm not sure why this RMT is so urgent that it absolutely has to be posted right now yet can't be handled live in the PS room.
 
It wasnt urgent I just didnt know who to ask to help get it posted, since I wont be able to in the foreseeable future and the LC mod didnt know what to do. Sorry for being a noob. Where does one find the RMT chat?
 
I hyperlinked it in my earlier post, but I'll post the link again here: http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/rmt

If you're unable to post threads for some reason, live rating on PS is probably a better option for you - posting an RMT on behalf of another user would be rather strange. If you have your heart set on it being posted as a proper RMT, you could get some more advice in the room, improve the team and then create an even better RMT thread when you are able to post (since RMT's typically showcase a team that's already had a certain level of testing).
