Wall for amethyst (page 45)

Yeah, I guess that's the only thing we can do. The RMT has always been a messed-up place, so I think we've all become used to it by now. It's pretty sad though.
I do remember we had some good competitive players though. Carnelian, Kiawe, and ~VoltMadness~ were good competitive players, last I remember..
(Sorry about the names, I haven't visited Pokebase for months, so I really don't know anyone's new names)

That’s its job!!

"Can't get good players to post until they get good advice... but they can't get good advice if they're not posting"

You forgot the other part.
Good players can't get good advice if there's nobody to give them good advice.

True

I love how the first thing some new users do is post their question without reading the rules, as if they have some sort of disease where if they don't post their question right away they'll die. Then, they get so confused about why their question was closed, when they simply could've read the rules and avoided the trouble.
I get it. The glorious page known as the rules may be discouraging to read at first, but that doesn't mean new users shouldn't avoid it.

Smogon isn't actually doing any better rn honestly. Go through the RMT section, and stuff like "this is my first team help me out" or "I'm a total noob save me" is pretty common there. Only thing is that about a eighth of those teams are actually good, and a moderation is a bit stricter (they close stuff until the rules are not followed). But still, the mods are doing a admirable job here as well

The RMT isn't really gonna improve until good players actually start posting their teams there, which won't happen until they believe that they can get good advice by posting it there.

Nice to meet you, where you been? I could show you incredible things.

Is that a Beatles song
