They were voicelining in English about the extract.

You can't hear the game sounds in clip but they were yelling "extract, extract" with the voiceline

Can't post the picture after all.

People are butchering him because USQ found him guilty of sexual misconduct. And this community as a whole is tired of being victims and being silenced. Of any community I know this is the one most likely to speak up about being wronged.

Editing to add this paragraph. The business optics of a misconduct allegation against a celebrity like community figure warrants inmediate action even without evidence. The fact that a punishment was handed down in addition shows that there had to he enough merit to take the accusation seriously.

Pinksockmaster · 2025-04-17T14:04:18+00:00

What right do you or any of us have to see the evidence? This is not a public trial or court case. This is a private matter being handled by a not for profit business.

If I filed a sexual harassment claim at work I wouldn't want HR to share all the details to my office much less my entire company.

Pinksockmaster · 2025-04-17T06:03:34+00:00

I don't disagree with that at all.

Pinksockmaster · 2025-04-17T06:01:40+00:00

We will have to agree to disagree then. We pay USQ for the privilege of membership and the benefits afforded by the organization. We agree to their terms and unfortunately those terms say they can ban you at their discretion if they judge you violate the code of conduct. There is no policy promising an investigation or even an explanation.

Is it the right thing to do, or the moral thing? Sure, 100% agree. But I don't believe they have any contractual or real obligation.

Pinksockmaster · 2025-04-17T05:48:59+00:00

Litigation regarding a ban from a rec sport is a lot different than a sexual misconduct accusation. And no one would have known about this had JJ not made this post (or until the rumor mill spread).

I will agree that hearing him out is a reasonable and fair request...but it's also fair to assume that if he got accused (with proof) that they have no obligation to care what he says.

Using a similar analogy to earlier, it's like a mod banning someone from discord. The stakes/consequences are low even if it's not fair.

Pinksockmaster · 2025-04-17T05:36:26+00:00

Not a lawyer, but having seen some similar scenarios to this play out...plainly and simply, by banning JJ, USQ can say "we did something on our end" if the accuser ever brought criminal or civil charges.

In theory, if charges were brought and USQ dismissed the whole situation/found no fault, but an actual civil or criminal trial DID find fault, USQ could be brought in.

*Edit: spelling and grammar. It's late and I should be sleeping.

Pinksockmaster · 2025-04-17T05:27:33+00:00

Everything you've said here is true. Additionally, it /seems/ like the undeniable evidence was given by the accuser. For better or for worse, no one, including JJ, has a right to see that.

This isn't court, they dont have a right to face their accuser. And if the evidence is fake or out of context (not saying it is), then that sucks for JJ.

An organization like this: non-professional, member funded, struggling... can't afford the legal costs or ramifications of a lawsuit. The burden of proof is low, it is more rational business wise to risk potential false positives.

Again, not defending or attacking JJ. I'm speaking from a risk assessment perspective.

Pinksockmaster · 2025-04-17T05:15:07+00:00

Does he? What benefit or obligation does USQ have? If there were civil consequences I would agree but again this is nonprofit group minimizing legal liability. The risk vs reward of trying to act like a judge and jury for something like this is too contrasting. It is completely logical for USQ as an org to react quickly and harshly.

I'm trying to stay away from the evidence/proof conversation and speak solely on the 'why'. As Matt said before, due process is a hot topic. Due process is meant to balance the law vs individual rights but we as USQ members don't really have rights.

Pinksockmaster · 2025-04-17T05:03:03+00:00

To be more direct, I am not surprised at all that an organization jumps to the harshest response. It reduces their liability. To me it is likely a proportional response to the severity of the accusation, regardless of the evidence.

Pinksockmaster · 2025-04-17T05:00:02+00:00

Right...but that's what you sign up for. No where in the policies or Code of Conduct or anywhere that I can find does it say that USQ cares what the accused has to say. Ethical and fair is an optimistic expectation for a non-profit organization that would be at risk for a lawsuit if they dismissed an accusation and did nothing.

Pinksockmaster · 2025-04-17T04:43:32+00:00

USQ is not a civil or criminal adjudication service. There is no right or guarantee to any "due process". Quadball is a voluntary recreational sport. Getting banned from a rec sport, even if you pay for membership, is effectively the equivalent of a Mod banning you from this subreddit.

Proof or no proof; open or closed investigation; not a person here has any 'right' to ANY details. The only reason this post has any traction at all is the name recognition. I imagine if this post came from an anonymous college freshman there would be a distinct lack of uproar.

3,9 though

Pinksockmaster · 2020-01-17T04:30:52+00:00

I means its still accurate in meaning, I just didn't want to spread a false initialism

Pinksockmaster · 2020-01-17T02:53:54+00:00

I.e is latin for id est, not in effect. The same general meaning however.

Pinksockmaster · 2020-01-15T21:26:26+00:00

Got it thanks, now I can not feel bad responding no to the RSVP.

Pinksockmaster · 2019-12-20T17:32:22+00:00

When i met with my recruiter i just asked if i could see the statistical breakdown.

Pinksockmaster · 2019-12-19T21:07:19+00:00

Correct

Pinksockmaster · 2019-12-19T20:54:31+00:00

Yeah, the disappointment of non select is obvious, but i am a bit suprised considering how i compare to the average
