1) Don't post if it's a niche. Don't hate on niche Pokemon, because they have feelings too. If you run into Specs Jellicent, think about it. In TR and Rain support, this guy can wreck with Specs Water Spouts firing off of a respectable 85 Special Attack. Specs Jellicent is a niche. However if you see a Piplup, that isn't a niche, that's a horrible idea. Haxorus is a niche, Axew isn't. If it's a niche or viable set in the Smogon Analysis, don't post it.
2) Don't post excessively. Found something 5 minutes after your first post? Good. Do not double post about what you just found. There's this magical thing called the edit button for this purpose; you should use it. If you really want to post something, wait for another person or two to post.
3) Post things that make your statement legit. Logs are good, Screenshots are better, and Replays are god-tier. The more of these you have, the more legit it will seem, and the more we will laugh at that silly thing you just found.
3.14) Describe what you saw. You don't have to do this, but we'd much rather hear about what you thought the opponent was thinking instead of just: "This happened. Lol." Put some insight into your posts that make the thing you're mocking even funnier.
4) Do not trash other players. With the above being said, if you do find a nub, don't humiliate them. This is the silly things you've seen thread not the silly people you've seen. Besides, they probably didn't know better. If you have a log, try and delete their name. There's no stopping you from keeping their name in, but you should edit it out anyway. Also humiliating people is what Firebot is for.
5) Don't even think about saying that you or someone else (besides the person who you played against ofc) was using the stupid set, even if you/they were. Haven't we learned from /birkal? It's not funny anymore.
Example post: I just saw a Darmanitan on the Doubles ladder. I thought to myself: "Okay, this is normal." It proceeded to use Belly Drum, which is when I was saying to myself: "What. At least it has a good attack stat." Then it activated Zen Mode, and that was just turn 1.
U SO NUB
Herro everyone! As you may have already noticed if you play Doubles, it's more popular than ever (But not as popular as OU)! Of course, because of the popularity of it, there are a heck of a lot of noobs on it too (You know who you are). In this thread you can find and post the silliest, craziest, most insane ideas ever to come out of the human brain, but only if you see them on the ladder first! This thread is basically the Doubles version of the OU Version of the "Silly Things You Have Seen On The Ubers Ladder!" thread. Take a look at the OU version here, and the original here, because I feel like they're awesome threads and deserve more views than the 20,000 they already have apiece :]

Before we begin, let's go over some ground rules, as much as every single person on the internet hates them with the white-hot passion of ten thousand suns.

With the introduction out of the way, go ahead and post!
