https://pokemonshowdown.com/pages/ladderhelpWhen The ladder started to decay. How much does it decay ? Does it will decay everydays onward ?
Above 1400, we have rating decay. Every day at 9 AM GMT+0:
This helps combat rating inflation. Ratings of less popular formats (ie. not current gen OU or random battles) decay slightly slower - you lose 2 points less per day due to rating decay in these formats.
- If you played over 5 games, there is no decay
- If you played 1-5 games, you lose 1 point for every 100 points above 1500 you are
- If you played 0 games, you lose 1 point for every 50 points above 1400 you are
Sorry, I don't understand: What is ladder decay? And what would it be in say Gen 7 formats?
Ladder decay means if you dont ladder within that day, you lose 1 (or more points) on your ELO, depending on how high your ELO currently is. This is so that the top 500 would be made up of active, laddering players and not dead alts/suspect test/ladder tour accounts.Sorry, I don't understand: What is ladder decay? And what would it be in say Gen 7 formats?

Thanks in advance.

i’m not sure if you’re being intentionally vague, but if this pertains to hacking in-game mons, check the Wi-Fi section rules and the thread on hack checking tips:Why isnt hacking possible ?
shiny finder said:Cloning is allowed on these forums. We do not care about your moral stance regarding cloning. If you do not want to trade for cloned Pokémon you are free to say so but DO NOT tell others cloning is hacking or whatever you consider it, keep all that to yourself.
The following is Smogon's stance on hacking and our rules regarding it:
Smogon's definition of hacking is the following - Hacking is the use of any external device/software in order to modify the game and the game data in any sort of way.
With this in mind, the site will not promote hacking in any sort of way. This means that you may not post, discuss, or promote PokeSav, PKHeX, editting, and anything else related to flash cart/cfw activities. You also may not discuss what is "hacking" and what is not "hacking" - this is because this is an exercise in futility.
A bump is posting in a thread that went inactive for a few days/weeks in order to move it to the top of the thread list so that people can see it again. This can be done in some subforums like the Rmt one where you are allowed to bump your thread once if no one replied so that you get a new chance to have someone coming and rating your team. In general though, you shouldn't bump a thread which has been inactive for a long time.What's a bump, how does it work, and how do I do one?
So if I want to bump one of my RMTs I just reply in the thread?A bump is posting in a thread that went inactive for a few days/weeks in order to move it to the top of the thread list so that people can see it again.

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?
Check this: https://www.smogon.com/badge_faqHow do I get badges? I see a lot of people have badges, and I don't really know what that's for (some of them are obvious like tournament winners, etc).
