I raised this already in Discord, but I would like to move this article title to '''Punish''' as it is much more commonly used in the Smash community, while "Punishment" in that form is never used. "Punish" is also used as a noun in the Smash community (ex: "The Ice Climbers have the best punish in Brawl") regardless of how grammatically correct or incorrect it may be.

:Fighting game communities in general have never cared about grammar anyway, lol. I '''support''' this move. [[User:Aidanzapunk|<span style="color: black;">'''Aidan'''</span>]] [[User talk:Aidanzapunk|<span style="color: orange">'''the Spooky Gamer'''</span>]] 16:22, October 26, 2023 (EDT)
'''Support''': In addition to "punish" being the most common formatting of the word, I'll reiterate what I said on Discord that renaming it as punish will make it more consistent with how we title other articles.

'''Support''' per above. Feels like unnecessary formalisation of a common community term. -[[File:PlagueSigImage.png|20px]][[User:Plague von Karma|<span style="color: #4952eb;">'''Plague'''</span>]][[User talk:Plague von Karma|<span style="color: #4952eb;">''' von Karma'''</span>]][[File:PlagueSigImage.png|20px]] 05:47, October 31, 2023 (EDT)
: It turns out that this would technically violate [[SW:MOS]] and is actually listed as an example, reason being that punish is a verb versus a noun. However, as an English teacher and linguist, I'll clarify that words can occupy and be used in different word classes depending on context. For example, "run" can be used to refer to the sport (noun), or the act of running (verb). In the case of "punish", Smashers often use "punish" in a noun form, eg. "I didn't get the punish, nooo!", thus why this move proposal exists at all. Just thought this would be worth noting in the event that the policy is rewritten with a better example. - [[File:PlagueSigImage.png|20px]][[User:Plague von Karma|<span style="color: #4952eb;">'''Plague'''</span>]][[User talk:Plague von Karma|<span style="color: #4952eb;">''' von Karma'''</span>]][[File:PlagueSigImage.png|20px]]
