Whenever people here or elsewhere complain about their moderation polices, there's always someone with the "it's a kids site bro" argument.
Are they really though? Most people into competitive battling are usually over 16 of age, and I wouldn't be surprised if there was actually a significant overlap between the /vp/ and PS userbases. I know some of their jannies post here, and a few of the old ones were even showderp members before cucking out for a smogon badge. So why even keep up the pretense?
