Approved Smogtour Spectators

[Aurella]

Rn the spectator list only shows users who joined the battle after you, could this be amended to include the users who were already spectating?

Can I get a clarification on how spectators work on smog tours now? Iirc its special. Also tagging TonyFlygon since this is tours related.

Originally the battle spectator list on smogtours was invisible to everyone, till an update in 2020 changed to make that public. There was an error in how it was implemented so the spectator list only shows who clicked on the battle after you, instead of showing everyone watching the game currently (like how it does on main). Luigi clarified to me last year (while he was still TD) that it should've worked as the latter.

If you were looking a more technical clarification, Kris would probably know.

There’s nothing special about spectators, they’re just broken. They should work like main does. Only different thing is battles are forced public and you can hide the replay.
