for this case, simply doing /ignore [username] or clicking their name then "..." then "Ignore" will do your work (there's also "report" if you think the case is severe enough to warrant attention from global staff members).

(I cannot really help with Battles per hour)

You can be in multiple battles at once. When in a battle, go back to the Home tab and select 'add game.' in theory you can have as many battles as you want running, though keep in mind it gets tough trying to juggle multiple battles.
 
how do i do the big sprites for pokemons? i know that you can put small sprites like this: :garbodor: (:name of the pokemon:), but how i put the big sprites?

this post explains it, honestly it's easier than importing sprites from another website every time

is there a code like this one for the SS mini sprites like

?
 
can we have an option that allows us to watch new threads AND messages in forums? Like make the options check-boxed so that it's multiple choice. I think this could be useful for anyone (like me) who wants to catch up with things. Then the "Don't send notifications" option could be used as a seperate option or completely negates the other two.
 
Hi, I did a lot of breeding a Showdown battling during Gen VI and to a break from it until now. I'm interested in getting back in a participating in some Smogon tournaments, and I've got a few questions.

1. Do all Smogon tournaments take place on Showdown? I looked through a few and found some replays in Showdown, but I couldn't find it explicitly stated anywhere.

2. Since it looks like at least some Smogon tournaments take place in Showdown, is the main point of actually breeding Pokemon in-game for use in official Nintendo events?

3. I've been looking through the OU resources/cores/sample teams threads and they've been really helpful. Any other recommendations for getting adjusted to the current meta?

Thanks!

Edit: Also, from what I can tell, the OU meta doesn't necessarily go by what is or is "supposed to be" in SW/SH. For example, I'm seeing a lot of Clefables with Soft-boiled which is an egg move *joke snare* that it should not be able to obtain in SW/SH. IS this observation correct?

1. Yes, beside some few VGC and BSS ones that might get hosted but none in Smogon formats
2. Or just playing online on the cart ladder. Some just collect competitive mons too, especially shinies
3. Probably just hitting up the ladder on Showdown
4. It's not an egg move, it's a tutor move from FRLG/E in Gen 3. Even if it's not available in SWSH, or otherwise very obscure to get, it really doesn't matter for the sake of our legality, as long as it's able to be transferred up and that it technically exist. Also explains why stuff like Wish Chansey is allowed, even though it's a very rare event move also from Gen 3.

Thanks so much for the quick, concise response! That was very helpful.
 
Is there a place I can point out a problem I see in a pokemon summary and/or suggest an improvement?

I've seen an oversight that if fixed would just straight up improve one and I don't exactly know where to go
