Note, prior to making this thread, I've already done a decent (admittedly just decent, not exhaustive by any means) amount of research into this. I am very very curious to know the US Government's spending. By this I mean what it actually spends money on (how much is payroll, how much is SS /...

In all OU debates, be sure to use the following framework when debating points and proposing actions. Posts will be monitored and moderated with the expectation that everyone is following the framework. Disagreements with the framework will NOT be part of specific policy threads; they will...

It's hard not to write a ridiculous tl;dr regarding this...I'll try my best. The reason I am specifying "Current Gen OU" is because I don't believe we can quickly and to everyone's satisfaction come to an agreement for all official tiers across Smogon. That is why this topic will focus solely...

This additional work will be implemented via the team builder. Posts 1-11 represent the previous iteration on the battle side; post 12 and on represent the desire to switch it to the team builder.

If teams wish to conduct a trade, both managers (or assistant managers if the manager is not present) MUST PM Zebraiken on the FORUMS to have the trade be official. Be very specific, especially when trading retainer rights. A retainer becomes official once a manager and the player PM to...

Note, this is PURELY theorymon and PURELY my own thoughts, not the thoughts of the council. Theorymon-wise (in addition to some experience on the ORAs ladder), I believe OU kind of "lucked" out here, in that I don't think a lot of the new stuff will be broken. Almost every new Mega is good to...

So CTC's thread here: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/team-archive-by-ctc.3513518/page-3#post-5635265 is a pretty solid "top-down" approach to providing community services for team building; namely, he provides the team and then provides justification for its formation. I basically want...

Welcome to the eighth week of the Fifth season of SPL! Get.Your.Battles.Done.Follow.Aldaron's.Scheduling.Rules. Try not to wait until Sunday to do your match unless absolutely necessary, it makes it exceedingly hard to try and get matches completed should people not show up, especially when...

As per Stellar: I propose we auto-set all Pokémon in 6th-Gen Smogon metagame battles to Lv50. Here are a few reasons why I believe we should make this shift. I will also briefly address counterarguments. There is no Lv100 option in XY battles: Heart Gold and Soul Silver were the last Pokémon...

Or if you didn't go to / dropped out of college, that is fine too (basically not interested in people still in undergrad or younger)...I guess soon to graduate people can respond too... It's kind of a lullish week at work, so naturally I'm curious about...smogon. What're you all doing with...

So, as any of you moderately active on social media should know by now, this article: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/wait-but-why/generation-y-unhappy_b_3930620.html is currently witnessing a sharing craze, and articles / people advocating have spawned in high quantities, and articles like this...
