    Good evening Jordzi, I hope your doing well. I know where your coming from, but I have to ask you something: Are you allowed to act like a kid in Wal-Mart? If you do, people around you would call cops right away. To use your analogy, PokeMMO the game is like the club and the forums is like an office building. Your not in school, but there are times when you have to still follow the rules of school. Your not allowed to talk to yourself in Wal-Mart or people (around where I live) would call cops and detain me for being "nutty" in a public setting. Although, you are allowed to talk to yourself on forums because no one can hear you, you have to have a certain level of decorum when on forums. This is like a PokeMMO library. You can go and read up on stuff on forums, but you don't act this is a club.

    This isn't Wal-Mart tho or a library, it's an online game/forum. There's a fundamental difference there. It's a game, they want to have fun. You aren't meant to be having fun in a Wal-Mart or a library or a classroom. Like I said, there is obviously a line and just being insulting/offensive is definitely not something that should be tolerated, but the idea of turning the forum into a strict and controlled environment akin to a library is not appealing to me. There are rules, sure, but we don't need to overextend those rules to turn this into the equivalent of a certain Russian dictator's Soviet Union (rest in peace Uncle Joe). Basically, just take into consideration the age group this game is meant to appeal to, and then think about whether what you are saying is realistic. 

     

    Fwiw, I think the way that forum is moderated is mostly fine, I don't feel like it's either as strict as some people here think it is, or as strict as your comments indicate that you'd like it to be. I just think it's important to point out the big difference between a forum like this and the public settings you compared it to. 

    EDIT: You really can't make reference to Russian dictators by name?!

    Good evening LowOrbitAI, I would like to debate you on this paragraph. Forums is a professional place where people speak about certain issues dealing with gameplay. If I go on forums and make jokes, then people might look at forums and be like: "seriously, this game's forums is a joke!" and they leave.

    Even though (as far as I'm aware, might be wrong) the majority of the player base consists of teenagers/20+ somethings, this is still a game for children. That's not to demean the game in any way, the beauty of Pokemon is that everyone can enjoy it and there's undoubtedly a large proportion of players who are here for nostalgia value, but the concept of fictional monsters battling each other is something primarily devised for kids. Without meaning any offence, lighten up a bit. Obviously there has to be line but kids playing this game don't want to treat it like school, they just wanna have some fun. Your idea of how the forum should be sounds extremely cold and mechanical to me.

    I can personally vouch for Radish as being trustworthy and reliable, as well as being active pretty much all of the time. Your mons will be in safe hands. Although they will have to listen to his shit jokes...

    ;D

    ???? What is the point here dude. Nobody gives a fck about you getting scammed... Even if we cared there ain't nothing no one can do. Staff don't deal with this shit because thinking your ''friend'' is trustworthy is your own fault and not their problem. 

    Seems harsh. You are right there's nothing anyone can do but scamming is the lowest of the low, a little sympathy wouldn't go amiss. At the very least OP is giving everyone a warning, albeit doing it in the wrong way. 

    Discussing the upcoming meta.

    Gengar only had Cursed Body on PTS, I think we're gonna follow Gen7 mechanics when it comes to abilities / movepools

    If this is implemented (plz no) will all current Gengar just auto have their ability switched, or would it only be new ones (meaning old Gengars keep levitate)?
