I don't know if it goes in the battle system bugs section, I apologize in advance if it's not, maybe it's more of a general issue, but I might have found an abusable bug related to the bosses cooldown. I've been fighting johto and kanto bosses in the last 2 days but now I realized I can fight almost all of them again, except Koichi, Bugsy and the not revamped ones like Pewdie and Boss Boss. It might be a rollback but I still have the money that they gave me after I beat them. That means I could just fight them again and make double the money, I'm not doing that of course. The only thing I can remark happening is some server crash while I was fighting one of them and unfortunately I can't be any more specific because I've found about this today by using the cooldown checker, actually both of them in Celadon.

This plant in Breeze Town is bugged and if you get past it you can basically go outside of the map, through trees etc., lots of people noticed it already but it seems right to report it here too.

I know people don't obey rules in help chat, sometimes it's too much, sometimes it's not because we're not robots and it can happen to go off topic without even realizing it, to me there's a line between straight rulebreaking and 10 seconds of chit-chat once in a while, and most of the staff gets it, some doesn't, we say it ourselves to stop when we see things taking a bad turn. So don't think I don't understand your point of view. Moderating is tough, I've moderated in different games, and I've also seen a lot of mods here and I have no issues with them, including you. Do you know why? Because you do that but I've also seen you helping the community in game. I'm sorry if, to me, filling the chat with 5 warnings instead of 1 and not helping once about the questions that get asked, to let us do that job as regular players is not good moderating. I hope you can see where I'm coming from even if you don't agree with it, and I'll not reply because you're right if you tell me this is not the place. Back to the topic, I'm pretty sure it's not just 10 people out of 1000 that have this opinion on the matter, even some all chat players had people that disagreed with the rules, it's just that some don't want to raise their voices and some do. We're allowed to be concerned about this as much as you do, I know that staff plays the game regularly too but in help chat I always see us. I don't exaggerate when I say that, at times, if it wasn't for us, nobody would help in that chat, there would be plenty of an unanswered questions and false info. We do a lot for the community even if we're regular players, it's not nice to hear that we're just 10 people, since those few people are the ones that kept that chat alive until now. This said, since rules will not change now and there's no point on keeping this up, I hope that you can at least remember this discussion if you're taking a future decision about this again.

Players stick to one chat most of the time, players that actually help there are people that are busy playing the game like everyone else and are not going to switch chat every 3 seconds, sometimes there are questions that belong to help chat, then become battle chat material and then help again, no kidding. It's not nice being warned for helping in the wrong place, It's not nice explaining why and getting warned for minimodding, that actually happened today. I do respect the staff a lot and you say you all took this decision, this is just a concern and not a way to sound disrespectful because we appreciate everything you do for us, but did you consider this from a regular player's perspective? Have you asked yourselves how all the players in the server feel about this? The only thing trying to revive battle chat is going to accomplish is killing another chat that until last week was peaceful and now it's just full of warnings of redirecting to another chat that's not that different from spamming , people not getting answers at all, people getting annoyed to the point they wanna leave the game and players that have been here for years getting frustrated for not having enough recognition for what they do. Trust me, we've been in help chat for plenty of time and it's never been as bad as it has been the last few days and I think this thread proves it and the way I feel does cause I've never "whined" about anything about this game in more than 2 years. P.S: Battle chat died cause it was unnecessary and to me it's not worth reviving at this stage.
