I disagree on the PC Blacklist idea but I do support this one. Smogon was the one who taught me but If we had our own it would bring more publicity to the forum (I dunno if I'm the only one who has noticed but RNG has like blown up in the last year because everyone either wants to do it or has successfully learned it)...but its not that we really need anymore people on this forum with the servers being jammed for 3 hours today :( STILL, I think its a good idea.

Patience, grasshopper. It's not that important right now - it's towards the bottom of my to-do list. [and let me tell you, that list is absurdly long]

Correct, we can check at any time, any post, but we have to then log into the mod control panel, run it through the searches, check things out, etc ... and the process isn't exactly time friendly. Hence why regular searches don't happen.

Regular members are notoriously unreliable. And with such an important sticky you all seem to make this to be, you think this is going to be some "community service?" C'mon now. Blacklists cause a nasty effect where reputations can be damaged. And such surely doesn't touch your hands. By the way, you'd need permission from the staff to update your thread, so in the end, it'd still be a hassle, a communication challenge. What? Did you think this would be a freely flowing edit machine? Not that easy.

You all seem to operate on the idea that these threads will be easy and peachy to operate, but I highly doubt you've looked into the important angles when executing threads of this nature. Bottom line: they're tough.

None of your concern.

I talked with Erik for a good while tonight and learned quite a bit how much he's been dealing with all of his sections lately. So first off, back off and show some appreciation some time. All right? My gods, you all are swarming the poor guy like your life depends on it. Suggestion threads don't mean you can spin this around like a democracy and demand all these wants out of majority. Erik may have said this was oh "how democratic" but that doesn't mean you all have final say. Erik's trying to making forum life better for you guys, but mind you, blasting him left and right (with such like debates and continuous beating down of a topic) isn't helping you all whatsoever.

You got a suggestion? Present it in clear-cut fashion with some logic please. At the moment, it's highly doubtful you'll get a blacklist. If we had a smaller forum or more staff working around here, sure, it just might work, but with these circumstances, it's going to be difficult to pull off. Make sure you all put strain on moderation into your ideas before you eagerly press that submit button. And accept a "no" for once, it's not the end of the world and you don't have to debate the utter life out of it.

Oh, and finally, you can thrash and cut this post up all you want, but don't expect much "change" in return.

A smaller forum? Smogon is triple the size of PokeCommunity, and they have a blacklist. And believe me, they don't have many moderators either. They are just willing to put the time and effort into the forums, unlike some other people. If you truly cared about preventing hacks spread around the site, you would make the list of the known hackers and scammers. But no, let's just trade around our cute little hacks, and pretend they are legit! How nice! Also, Smogon members have less need for hacks, considering the majority of the members can RNG. But no, the RNG thread was shot down as well. Overall, the place will be flooded with hacks sooner or later, and don't pretend like you care, when you are too lazy to do something about it.

Everything you just said I 100% Agree with and is 100% True, whats the point of this thread mods if everything we suggest is either rejected or you say no its at the bottom of the to do list? Again good job Neptune XP

It was?

I fail to see how not having a blacklist means easy circulation of hacked Pokemon.

I've not seen worthwhile suggestions in this thread, so I'm just going to assume this has now served its purpose.
We shall now put your suggestions to work ~
