Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Smogon Simple Questions Thread
- Thread starter Quite Quiet
- Start date
well, for starters, technically you can, but it's on a case by case basis. but realistically, imagine if you made an account on a website and then life got in the way and you forgot about it. then, a while later, you remember it and try to log in only to find that it doesn't belong to you anymore. i'd imagine most people would be upset! even on the case by case basis that taking an inactive username is offered, it's usually (if not exclusively) reserved as a reward for high-level contributors or extremely well-known figures, and even then you're not always going to get approved for it.
pretty sure it’s mostly badge holders, that’s when I changed to Pengu
badgeholders can request a name that fits inactivity parameters as a reward for being a badgeholder. unsure about how being "well-known" affects it, though
I feel like if someone has forgotten about something for over a decade, they'll probably have also forgotten their signin info and just make a new account.
Not really, browsers have been able to save that for far longer than a decade at this point.
Does Smogon not have an e-mail recovery feature?
This is not decided on speculatively
We do, but this conversation has run its course now
Is there anywhere you can submit OM ideas? I can only find the old gen 6 submissions when I google it
Nvm I’m all good now
What does the "np:" stand for in a suspect test thread? Now Playing?
What does NP stand for?
In other contexts it can stand for Nasty Plot or no problem
What’s the @@@ command for mix and mega
Nvm again I got it
Add an indicator so I know whether I’m watching a thread with or without email notifications. Sometimes I subscribe to threads I’m very interested in with email notifications, but later, when I visit the thread and see the button says 'Unwatch', I don’t know if I’m receiving emails or not.
This at least exists within the Watched threads section. https://www.smogon.com/forums/watched/threads
It also lets you disable/enable email notifications for individual threads with the menu at the bottom.
I guess, but it’s very awkward to have to go through all that (including searching for the thread) just to check, when the solution is actually pretty simple. As you showed, that information is already stored — you just need to present it in the thread page.
Where should I report a possible issue with an analysis?
One of the threads in C&C is probably ideal:
Typos and clarity reporting thread: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threa...-typos-poor-wording-inaccuracies-etc.3618600/
Bugs on the dex: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/dex-bug-report-structural-changes-thread.3656654/
If it's something else, it may be that the analysis is receiving an update (check the C&C subforum for the tier you are looking at) or that it hasn't been cleaned up yet or will be getting a revamp in the future (think removing Roaring Moon references from an OU analysis on a niche mon, for example).
