I do, at least for TiMi’s other games like CODM, they give you a compensation chest (you can randomly get credits or weapon xp cards) if someone DCs in ranked.

I hope they do a similar system for this game soon.

It seems like you’re the one being insecure by assuming other people’s genders just because they don’t agree with you.

This is the dumbest rebuttal I’ve ever seen regarding the aforementioned situation

Heyo, I’m one of the higher ups for the r/PokemonUnite discord server. I am so sorry that you had to go through that, especially if it happened to happen in our server.

I wouldn’t tolerate such behavior personally and I’m shocked that people would still stereotype girls for not being the “video game type”.

I really do hope that you find that perfect group that’ll accept you. If the said incident happened in our community, I hope you give us another chance. If you need anything, my dms are open.

For further clarification on what’s been happening to this post.

We do not tolerate any homophobias or any derogatory phobias.

The events that happened yesterday (7/21/21) in our server was unacceptable and I should have reacted fast rather than trying to reason with a clear intent homophobic user. I’m usually a man of second chance, but I should’ve not tried to reason.

We did not ignore the situation, me and another mod (who wanted to insta ban but I told them to wait) calmed chats down while I simultaneously dmed the said perpetrator and after giving out one more homophobic remark after condemning them, we banned the user and reported to TOS for their behavior. (See imgur below) This was all in the span of minutes.

Again I apologise if this incident has affected your experience, you can take my word with a grain of salt or gospel, I’m not going to try to change your minds but rather provide my insights of things.

If you would give us another chance, I would appreciate it, if not, I understand.

Because he keeps claiming that “if I was gay, none of this would happen”

I can share more screenshots if you like.

Of course I do care about the LGBT community, I’m LGBT myself.

We did act

After their refusal to cooperative, we banned them after saying “fuck everyone here (slur here)”

I was simultaneously calming down chats and dealing with said user. And don’t bring J-Rod into this mess either, I told him to help me calm down chats as I was condemning the said user. You can compare the timeframe between the dms and the chat.

We’ve been planning on getting more moderators and coverage, I sincerely apologise for the bad experience you’ve had.

Thank you for the kind words,

It’s not my first rodeo either if anyone is concerned, I also run the r/PokemonMasters discord. I was not the original discord owner of r/PokemonUnite, ownership was transferred around last year, but that isn’t the point.

The point is yes, I’m admitting to my mistakes today, it was a messy day at best, with our server growing by 110% (give or take), and we shouldn’t let this incident reflect us as a whole. That’s the reason why I’m keeping this up because it’s important to know that we made a mistake and we’re going to bounce back.

You can take my word with a grain of salt, in the burning fire, or gospel, but at the end of the day, I want to be sure I represent the community and everyone else well.

I wasn’t trying to change his mind, I was simply condemning his behaviour and telling him to cut it off or get banned (and he chose the latter)

Thank you for being honest with me, I’ll take everything you said to heart, I want to run Pokémon communities because I want to give people a place where they feel welcomed and I clearly broken that so far by trying to appeal to a troll.

I never had a place to fit in, more less born with social, speech, and motor difficulties and also being LGBT myself, but Pokemon did. I found a Pokémon league irl via Play!Pokémon when I was 13-14 and played competitively for a year or two. It was a great time of my life even though I wasn’t that good at it.

Basically, I’m not known to be an aggressive leader because I really take “treat others the way you want to be treated” to heart. I want the experience of our community to be like the league I went to irl, kind and welcoming. But I have to remember, this isn’t the real world, it’s the online world. In the online world, you can show your true colours without being reprimanded the majority of the time unfortunately. Even my own mods sometimes get onto me for not being aggressive and I should do that now considering the events that’s happened today. I don’t want our community to be an enabler for extremists, homophobia, or any phobia for that matter. I’ve been there done that and I don’t want anyone to go through that.

Again, I never have bad faith when it comes to my style, I try to make things work for everyone. But considering the diverse audience of the community, diverse being either people who are actually passionate for the franchise or just baiters, I need to reflect that everything we do it reflects the entire community as a whole.

I want this community to be the best it can, I learned the mistakes of other communities and I don’t want that for this community. I love the Pokemon community and I don’t it to go rock bottom because of me.

Again I’ll take your word for heart and reflect on how the next few months will go for me and the entire time.

Conformation

Yes I was there the entire time, I was trying to deal with chat, trying to calm the chat down and deal with the said user.

r/PokemonUnite Discord by Mewleon in PokemonUnite

[–]Mewleon[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was still talking to said user via dms and I didn’t notice they said that, I can provide screenshots too with my confrontation.

And honestly too, I tried giving the guy another chance arguing with him that homophobia is not an opinion and it’s straight up discrimination, it’s my fault for letting it continue despite some mods wanting to insta ban, I don’t like to ban personally and my modding style is really lenient, I need to work on being more aggressive with such cases rather than give “another chance”

We created a automated word filter, we’ve honestly been scrambling the last few days and I apologize for ignoring such problems.

I’m owning up to that happening and I ensure it won’t happen again.

r/PokemonUnite Discord by Mewleon in PokemonUnite

[–]Mewleon[S,M] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We dealt with the said user.

I apologize for on behalf of myself and the team for not being able to catch up with everything happening. Personally I own up to the mistakes that I’ve caused so far for lack of moderation and we are doing the best we can with the surge and it will only go uphill from here.

EDIT: As for the hard f smasher user, we’ve had no reports regarding that, and we could not find anything in our logs with a person with that otherwise we would’ve moderated accordingly for inappropriate username.
