Smogon Simple Questions Thread

What happens if a player Gets two accounts on smoogon, is playing pokemon showdown with three accounts at the same time, but people cant ban them?
 
Hello hello, sorry if it's a too general question, but how can i have good matchup against offensive teams?
No need to be too complete, if you give me a short reponse with the most common ways to deal with them, it should be enough, thanks!
 
I would like to suggest that you give regular users the ability to remove a poll from a thread they created and make a new poll in that same thread, at least in the Circus Maximus section. It is worth noting that Bulbagarden has this feature and it also runs on Xenforo software.
 
I don't know if this is the place to say this, but I wanted to suggest that for the analysis section for the various gens & metagames, it might be nice to expand the search to look for more specific information, such as what pokemon tend to run certain natures/moves/Abilities. I do a lot of past gen RNG abuse and due to the metagame changing so frequently, it would help to be able to figure out what the most common natures & moves a given pokemon runs so I can optimize its use through the different gens. With nature mints being a thing in S&S, its less of an issue from then on, but for all the past gens It would help a lot.
 
Haven't been able to find this suggestion being made before, so if this has been suggested im sorry.

Why isn't there a smogon clock? I see way too often that tournament scheduling goes wrong because of DST changes and just not calculating the right time. An easy fix to this would be a clock on the top right of smogon and showdown so everyone could just refer to smogon or showdown time.

Because even if the majority of Smogon and Showdown users are over in the Americas, there's still plenty who are not and those also host and play in tournaments. There's even multiple timezones over there, but EST (GMT-5) is probably the most used one for deadlines and such. Two users in Europe and Asia for example wouldn't benefit much by going by some universal Smogon time based in the Americas when they're trying to schedule for a game. You're gonna have to calculate time differences regardless of some universal one.

Timezones are something everyone will have to deal with. The server is based in EST/EDT (whichever the eastcoast of the US is currently using, EDT as of this post). You can check the time according to the server with /servertime.
 
I was watching a blunder video and he said that people can post teams on his "smogon wall". What is that and how can I access/use it? I looked through blender's profile page but I couldn't find anything. Does it not show up on mobile?

Smogon walls are just a person's profile (that you can access upon clicking their name) where you can leave them messages.

So should I just use the "Start a Conversation" feature? I figured that that was for more informal stuff

"Start a conversation" is for private messages, visitor messages (on the wall) can be seen by everyone. It all depends on what you plan to say in that message and whether you want it to be public or not.

How do you insert a Quote into either a post or a signature? I see the insert quote option, but I don’t know what to do from there
Click to expand...
For a post, you can highlight the text you want to quote and there will be a tooltip that says "Reply", you can click it and it will add it to your post.

For example, I will do this with the "How do you insert a Quote" part of your post by highlighting only it and then I will hit "Reply":

I cannot help you with signatures as I do not use quotes in them
