Private messaging (PM) is a valuable tool for communicating with other players on Showdown. It can be used to discuss strategy, coordinate moves, or simply chat. However, PMing can also be a source of frustration if you don’t know how to use it properly. In this article, we’ll provide a comprehensive guide to PMing on Showdown, covering everything from how to send and receive messages to how to avoid common pitfalls.
Before you can send a PM, you need to add the other player to your friends list. To do this, click on their username in the chat window and select “Add Friend.” Once they’ve accepted your request, you can start sending them messages.
To send a PM, type “/pm username message” in the chat window. For example, “/pm SmogonTournaments Hello!” will send a message to the user SmogonTournaments. You can also use the “@” symbol to send a PM to a player who is not in your friends list. For example, “/pm @SmogonTournaments Hello!” will send a message to the user SmogonTournaments, even if you’re not friends with them.
When you receive a PM, it will appear in the chat window. You can reply to a PM by typing “/r message” in the chat window. For example, “/r Hello!” will reply to the last PM you received.
PMing can be a great way to stay in touch with other players and improve your Showdown experience. However, it’s important to use PMing responsibly. Don’t spam other players with messages, and don’t use PMing to harass or threaten other players. If you’re ever unsure about whether or not something is appropriate to say in a PM, err on the side of caution and don’t send it.
How To Pm On Showdown
To PM someone on Showdown, you need to know their username. Once you have their username, you can type “/pm username” into the chat box. This will send a private message to the user. You can also use the “/w” command to send a private message. For example, “/w username” would send a private message to the user “username”.
Private messages are only visible to the sender and the recipient. They are not visible to other users in the chat room. You can use private messages to have private conversations with other users, or to share information that you don’t want to share with the entire chat room.
Here are some additional tips for using PMs on Showdown:
- You can only send PMs to users who are online.
