Hello,
 
I appreciate that it's the middle of the regular season of PSL XVI as I write this but I thought it would be a good idea to gather feedback from the community regarding this PSL edition and also look at suggestions for the next one (whoever would be keen to host it).
 
I'll share my views:
 
Pros
I thought it was nice to have a variety of managers involved, including giving a debut to managers like NecasInTrouble and Wallarro - it shows that the competitive community is willing to continue giving new people a chance to showcase their managerial skills in the biggest unofficial tournament Drama was identified and dealt with pretty quickly (e.g. the Brumoso incident), although it could have potentially been dealt with more smoothly (e.g. Not suspending Necas) New players were able to debut in their first PSL season (e.g. LiveLaughHate amongst others) The chips were a nice incentive and had that surprise factor against opposing teams  
Cons
I believe that Doc doing most of the stuff on his own wasn't a good idea considering his commitments - these sort of events always need help as it's incredibly time-consuming Although the chips were a good incentive, I believe that this alongside the point above caused line-ups to be submitted and weekly line-ups to be posted slightly late The fact that players could leave a team that was eliminated during the regular season and join a team to increase their chances at winning seems a bit unfair - I believe you should stick with your team until the very end unless a midseason draft occurs, as it's the player and manager's responsibility to motivate the team. Although both managers had to agree to the trade, I feel players should stick with that team regardless Some of the draft picks weren't the best compared to previous seasons PSL is starting to lose its identity as the years go on. It used to be known as the competition for only the most elite and top players in the game but admittedly the quality has been decreasing over time. Although there are still some great quality matches, the overall quality has definitely reduced.  
To be updated as the season progresses.
 
Now onto my suggestions for a future PSL...

"Entei is just a weaker Arcanine"... I'm sorry, I don't ever remember people complaining about Arcanine or it ever getting suspect tested.
 
And you wondered on another thread why people just ignore what you say, just play the tier and stop coming up with nonsense. 

This is still open? Well, let's see how this suspect ends. I wonder when people will realize that Entei is just a Weaker Arcanine...
 
 

Nice one man, as Incog said there are better shinies but we understand there are limitations that you don't control. 

GL to everyone participating. 

No worries, I think it comes down to personal preference too and its hard to please everyone, if I had picked one of the mons you mentioned, some players could possibly be asking why not the big old snorlax instead 😄 It's a rare shiny too and one of the faces of the tier for a long time.

I didn't mean to that extent, I meant how OU have had stuff like Shiny Volcarona and Dubs had Shiny Metagross for their seasonals, maybe we could potentially have a similar rare shiny like Eevee(?), Spiritomb, Rotom, etc - but Snorlax and Flygon especially are pretty cool shiny's and I understand that admins have the final say.
 
I'm sorry I didn't mean to come across as harsh, I'm grateful that there is a seasonal tournament and that you are hosting it.

I thought about raikou and entei alongside snorlax but that would give the winners an hard time choosing 😕
Even for Seasonals there are limitations, in my opinion these were the best options I had at the moment or close to it, and respecting your opinion, I think they are cool.

Prizes seem meh (except Snorlax) considering it's a seasonal but cool tournament anyway.

I think the issue is that you've built a negative reputation for yourself where you only want to be heard, ignoring whatever comments and feedback other people have directly responded to you in the past, derailing threads and continuously quoting people (even when requested to stop), so you can't really complain when people do the same to you and automatically disregard points you make.
 
The main tier I've seen you play is OU and sometimes NU, yet you make points on subjects related to UU. It's probably best to do your research, look at statistics in game and actively get involved in those tiers instead of just playing hypothetical scenarios. Theorycrafting can only get you so far...

I see you are confused about your ban reasons, so let me clarify.
 
You had an extensive mute history for inappropriate chat. About a week ago, you were banned for the first time due to the message below, which lasted a day.
 
[01/04/2024][GLOBAL][EN] chabonki : u need to spread your cheeks to lure alpha
 
Earlier today, you were banned for 3 days after sharing a link for a porn website in a public chat in your alt character MiMule.
After this, looking further into your account, we found out that you also have another alt named "SIothum" (with an "i", not "l"), which you used to impersonate Slothum, as seen in the messages below:
 
[15/03/2024][GLOBAL][EN] SIothum : how's everyone doing? [15/03/2024][GLOBAL][EN] SIothum : Stay tune! Given out shinies after the next alpha!! Follow me for more drops! [18/03/2024][GLOBAL][EN] SIothum : good afternoon! [21/03/2024][GLOBAL][EN] SIothum : Doing a shiny give away after the next alpha! Stay tune! [24/03/2024][GLOBAL][EN] SIothum : Hi guys! Slothum here! [26/03/2024][GLOBAL][EN] SIothum : hi! it's slothum here [26/03/2024][GLOBAL][EN] SIothum : Hi guys! Slothum here! [28/03/2024][GLOBAL][EN] SIothum : Good morning! Slothum here!
[28/03/2024][GLOBAL][EN] SIothum : Stay tune! Doing a shiny community give away soon!
 
I guess you really wanted his presence in the game, but impersonating someone is a serious violation, it's not the way to go about it.
 
On top of this all, we have also found these messages in your alt:
 
[03/04/2024][GLOBAL][EN] MiMule : u guys better behave or i screen shot and report
[03/04/2024][GLOBAL][EN] MiMule : i make the community better
[03/04/2024][GLOBAL][EN] MiMule : im friends with mod and stuff, so u better behave
 
So the rules you broke only in this short period of time:
 
1. Inappropriate chat conduct, several times
2. Impersonation
3. Threatening other players, and with false information.
 
Using alts for these things did not save your account, and it never would have.
The player you have issues with has been warned for his conduct and later punished more severely, as shown here in this thread previously. If his conduct continues after the current punishment, we will also escalate it.
The difference between you and him is that you were a lot faster escalating your punishment by breaking several rules instead of one. We take racism seriously, of course. We also take it seriously sharing porn in a pg13 game and potentially exposing minors to such thing. We also take it seriously when players attempt to pretend to be someone else.
 
You still have a chance to continue playing in a new account, as long as you remember that the rules also apply to you.
Please don't waste this chance you are being given by pursuing this subject further. We cannot be more clear than this. This discussion is over and we will not tolerate further drama about it.

Ninetales is not Fairy. At least not in MMO (we do not have the Alolan version), so it makes your list a little thinner.
