Smogon Simple Questions Thread

[Lasen]

Is there a way to copy and paste colored text into smogon posts? I'm trying to move a long draft of a QC post into a sandbox thread since the draft itself didn't save in the original thread for whatever reason and I don't wanna risk losing it, and really don't wanna have to manually redo all of the text coloring-

If there isn't a way to do this, consider this a suggestion as well.

just toggle the bb code and copy it that way.

Is there a place dedicated to discussions related to policy review, aside from the subforum?

If not, was the idea ever explored/mentionned in the past? (Like a discord, for example)

Anyone know where I can find the most current smogon usage stats Image for Ubers?

How come the Discord servers are so heavily secured? I don't think I've ever joined another community Discord and had to wait for authentication or anything. Did something happen or someone do something to warrant it?

Sometimes there's discussions in the Smogon discord about PR topics, but there's no outright stated place for them.

There are a few bad apples that repeatedly spam doxxing-related links in every server they can access, which has been an ongoing problem for several years. Plus more recent phishing attemts also weighs in. It's unfortunate and I wish we didn't have to do it, but that's our reality.

What are reaction scores

It's the total of likes or other reactions you received from all your posts minus those you spent in Kalalokki likeshop to get bad renames

Does anyone know how the points work for tournaments? I won an RU tourney a few weeks ago and afterwards it said I received 11 points. Is there something to do with them, and if so, how can I check my points?

You will get ping on the round 1 thread when the tournament starts with the name of your opponent. Just check your notifications and you won't miss it.

Why permalocked users need to wair 3 months for their appeals ?

It would defeat the point of a permalock if they could appeal immediately. It's to make people wait a bit, think about their actions, generally to give time for reflection/improvement.

Since this doubles as a suggestion forum, I wanted to bring back a suggestion from a while ago that I also agree with.

If at all possible, could there be a way to "mute" certain threads/subforums/forums on the site? It can be slightly tedious to have to go into specific forums to clear the bold text "notification" for something I'm not interested in, similar case for marking the forums as read at some points: it can get pretty repetitive sometimes :c

Much appreciated either way

I don't think muting specific forums or subforums is particularly useful, but muting individual threads within existing subforums would be very useful. One major application that I can think of is people who want to stay updated on when new rounds are posted for a tournament, but don't care about the signups and/or previous rounds. There's a ton of OCD reasons why it would be a helpful feature, but this would be nice in general.
