As a smogonfag, I'm going to make a thread about what's wrong with Smogon.

This claim ended up being spectacularly wrong because there was far more dangerous threats that needed testing (Mega Gengar and Mega Kanga) and Deo-S is still nowhere near the top of the broken things in the metagame (*cough*Genesect*cough*).
I actually made a couple of posts in that thread that pointed out at the sheer idiocy of Deo-S being the very first suspect, which were promptly deleted.
Been said that, Smogon mods shouldn't be surprised when people have something against their modus operandi. And these are only a couple of the things that are wrong with the community.
