Hi all
Just a notice, we recently discovered that someone got into a moderator account and started hard deleting a load of key and legacy threads...around 150 threads have been lost dating back to 2007 and some weeks ago so we can't roll the forums back.
Luckily no personal data could be accessed by this moderator, and we've altered the permissions so hard deleting isn't possible in the future
Sorry for any inconvenience with this and sorry for any lost posts. -

you already know
Only acceptable when the other person's broken an agreed to clause or is cheating or something. Anything else is just being a sore loser, and you should spread the word about him/her so no one battles with the childish brat. 
Yeah, it really pisses me off too. Dx

Wut are you saying?
Ya, if you are on the last turn or you just beat there last pokemon, if they have a lot of wins, they quit. It sucks.T-T

Seriously, it sucks so much. I was about to break my losing streak the other day, and had just dealt the finishing blow, when my opponent shut his game off. And it was on ranking mode, too.
As Desi said, the only time it would be acceptable is if the opponent is cheating or breaking the rules somehow. Then if they're not going to play fair, they can't complain if you don't. (Mind you, it's more satisfying to beat a cheater than to ragequit from one.)

To be honest i really couldnt care less if the little numbers get recorded on my game, I know I won and I dont need some little pixels telling me that, if they want to be a brat thats fine but if they have skill and are a brat like that i wouldnt hesitate to battle them again.

I would think that the rankings system should credit you for a deliberate disconnect. probably does not though.
although I will be honest if Im playing someone that looks like a super hack (all shiny etc) I might disconnect on them in the name of karma

Ragequitting sucks.
Seriously, I hate that things so much... I wish there was a way to ban it.

You're on thin ice
I thought they would have made it like Mario Kart Wii, or Sonic Colors DS. (you get credits if person gets DC'd)
I was so freakin aggrivated when I found out it didnt.

Having a shiny pokemon doesn't make it a hack. Have you never heard of rng abuse?

'Course it annoys me. But if I know them, now I can make fun of them.

yes, I know legit shinies exist. its the obvious hackers Im talking about. with all shiny, all (pseudo) legendary. trust me, ive only done it once or twice
That would be way too harsh, given a DC can happen by accident.
I think it would be best if a DC was just counted as a loss by the DCer. I expect the system can tell which player is responsible. Makes it useless as a method of cheating. Sucks a bit for people who get an accidental DC, but one loss isn't going to affect Rating much, and if you're non-deliberately DCing regularly, you need to fix your connection.

A bit too long but I like this idea. This seems like something that could implemented. Thing is a lots of kids play this if they rage quit once and then find themselves not able to play all day, well it could hurt gamefreak.
It is as close as I can get to "throw my DS angry", it's extremely annoying since(let's face it) getting those wins is usually a pretty serious battle, very few times do I get paired against players where my lead can sweep out the gates. Most good players will win around 50% of their games. Getting cheated out of one of these wins makes me much more angry than is should.
Still if there's a connection loss you should get the win, since the other system is off it won't register, it makes us happy, and won't give the trolls too much ammo for B****ing. The only problem would be with actual connection losses giving both players wins I guess. No-one can see your losses but you, what do you care what that number looks like.
