Welcome to the Battle Spot forum! We welcome you on behalf of the community. The philosophy of the moderating team on Battle Spot will be to maintain an inclusive and healthy community. We will be relaxed (no “NAZI MODS”), but we will be also committed to maintaining high quality discussion and content.
If you have any questions, concerns, complaints, etc, please contact Hulavuta or cant say
1. No trolling, flaming, etc. This should be fairly common sense. Please also avoid condescending passive aggressiveness and acting like a “big shot”.
2. No advertising Youtube channels or Twitch streams without first asking permission.
If you have a YouTube or Twitch channel and regularly stream Battle Spot content, feel free to PM cant say or Hulavuta with your stuff and we'll either give you the green light to post or advise you on what you can do to improve. Do not link random channels with terrible battles, they will be deleted.
Approved streamers:
- DragonWhale
- GroudonEmpire
- 6tennis
3. Discussing VGCs and Smogon tiers are not allowed. Please keep that discussion in their relevant subforums.
4. Discussing exploits or glitches, cheating on the ladder, hacked Pokemon or hacking, disconnecting, or any other method of dishonest or unsportsmanlike conduct are forbidden and will be severely disciplined. As a guideline, anything that would not be acceptable on the Wi-Fi forum with regards to in-game activity is not acceptable here. We will offer avenues of obtaining free legit Pokemon for battling use, so laziness is not an excuse to hack. P.S. RNG abused or cloned Pokemon are not hacks, timer stall is not an exploit.
5. Any other relevant Smogon rules apply; don’t spam off-topic, etc.
Non-obvious stuff:
6. Modest in-game discussion not strictly related to metagame or strategy discussion IS allowed if it is relevant. Please keep trades to Wi-Fi or casual discussion to Orange Islands but if someone is asking for tips for obtaining their Battle Spot team in-game or about moveset legality, that is acceptable. Please keep any trades to Wi-Fi or PM/VM however, “I’m adding you” “are you online??” kind of stuff is PC++.
7. Please keep posts to the appropriate thread. We understand that having a million different stickies and whatnot can be confusing, and we are trying to keep that to a minimum. Here’s a quick guide:
- For general questions, post here
- For RMTs and teambuilding inquiries, post here
- Singles / Doubles (WIP) / Triples / Rotation discussion.
- Battle Maison thread is here, in the Orange Islands subforum.
- For in-game battle videos, post here (WIP). If it’s any other kind of video, see rule 2.
- Check the forum if you’d like to discuss the Special ladder or PGL tournaments, these usually have a thread.
- Doesn’t fall into any of these categories? Post a thread or ask a mod.
8. Lurk less! Newcomers are encouraged to post as long as you follow the other rules. Do not be afraid to say something “wrong” or make mistakes – you will be corrected in a constructive manner. We welcome newbies with an earnest interest to learn and get better.
We hope you enjoy your stay in the Battle Spot forum!
