How am I supposed to say, "Rebuild your team from scratch."?

What am I supposed to say if this happens?

Comments

The RMT is just so damn awful. Either implement much stricter rules, or remove it. It's a complete shitshow.

---

What's up with those flags on JarJar's comment?

---

Some people think it should be hidden because it breaks the "netiquitte" rule.

---

It's true though. Personally I feel it's the least interactive part of the site, and wish it could be improved upon somehow. Sadly, personally I have no good alternative, so I can only keep my peace for now.

---

My best idea is to ask them to sign up for apprenticeship on Smogon, rebuild the team, and come back. Do you guys have any other ideas?

---

My comment doesn't break any written rules. Go away.

---

It consisted of swearing, which isn't allowed. Mosmic edited it out. i didn't edit it out because I wanted to let staff see it.

---

Clearing flags now. You'd have to be pretty soft to be offended by what it says at the moment.

---

"Usual netiquette applies: Be polite,"
From https://pokemondb.net/pokebase/rules

---

Nothing I said was impolite.

---

I am aware that your definition of impolite may be different, but to many people, anything with cursing is considered impolite.

---

That's just nitpicky considering this is the internet.

---

The internet isn't entirely dominated by 4chan. Some people on some parts of the internet are more nitpicky than others.

---

Using a mild swear isn't even comparable to typical 4chan language (slurs, personal attacks, ect). Either way, this is pointless. Refer to fizz's comment.

---

To be fair, the F-word isn't generally considered a mild swear.
This comment chain has gone really off-topic.

---

Lel that team sucked.

---

Thanks. I'm really proud of it. It's gonna get me a spot in the top 500 someday.

---

Craap look at that Assault Vest Ferrothorn.

---

This would be a kid talking about his in-game team
If this was to happen so be careful

---

Can you be more specific? What do I have to be careful for? How should I be careful?

---

Try not to get too mad

---

I don't think that's the problem. I just need some way to get them to learn stuff.

---

There kind of isn't a specific way. I think it's more that we just give honest critique, and if they don't like it then too bad for them they asked the question.

I'd sugges tfor  them to become more familiar with the metagame, and also suggest that they don't post teams that haven't be tested at least a little (your example wouldn't last 5 minutes on Uber ladder so if someone tried to use it then they'd know there'd be no point in trying to save it. At least hopefully).

If they really don't understand there's not much else. I'm dealing with real life issues at the moment but once everything's sorted I'll spam reboot that whole guide thing purely so we can reference it in situations like these.
