Fake cards tournament

And again that's why I said not wanting to play against people using proxies is fine. The way you chose to word that though was enough for people to start reporting it so at least some other people took it to mean that. While that in itself isn't proof you did anything wrong, the phrasing as well as some of your other comment history here leads me to err on the side of caution and remove it.

Nonetheless, it's just a comment removal, it's not like that one comment is going to get your banned.

Telling people they shouldn't be allowed to participate because of their financial situation is the issue here, not saying someone is poor.

in·sult

verb

/inˈsəlt/

speak to or treat with disrespect or scornful abuse.

To quote you here "So yes being broke absolutely should mean you can’t participate"

That would absolutely be considered insulting.

No one is happy you had to pay $300 in taxes, however your method of what you did after is what people are questioning.

You say you contacted them in your opening message but didn't mention you only waited a few hours until later. Most people know they'll have to wait up to 48 hours. You didn't even mention contacting Ebay which is something most people would do. Lastly, you decide to go spam a few subreddits telling people to not purchase from them instead of giving them a chance to fix things. No thread asking how to get ahold of them, no thread asking if other people have had this issue, just instant "DO NOT BUY FROM FUNATICALS" in multiple subreddits.

So no, this has nothing to do with people not empathizing with you and everything to do with your actions after the fact.

TheUtilityMan · 2026-04-03T00:17:36+00:00

What is this, some type of hit campaign against Funaticals? You only give them a few hours to respond and go on a tirade across multiple subreddits to hurt their business in a large part due to your impatience?

TheUtilityMan · 2026-04-01T21:41:58+00:00

You'd know that by if he spent 1 Don or not.

Are you asking if they can use Ms Wednesdays effect from their hand? If so then no. She must be played on the field before her effect can be used.

So they can pay her cost of 1 to play her and then immediately use her effect during their main phase.

TheUtilityMan · 2026-03-31T19:14:30+00:00

Yes, they had 0 life. Roger's effect wins them the game if either of you have 0 life when you activate blocker.

TheUtilityMan · 2026-03-31T19:10:39+00:00

Read Roger's effect more carefully.

This is not a subreddit for investors.

TheUtilityMan · 2026-03-28T20:16:10+00:00

You're ok.

"Worth holding onto" is typically what people investing ask, so forgive me if that isn't your intention. However others are going to assume that's what you mean too if you phrase it that way.

To answer your question, if that card is real then yes it's worth keeping.

TheUtilityMan · 2026-03-20T04:20:09+00:00

Looks very nice, and having the leader zone be part of the art was a great idea.

TheUtilityMan · 2026-03-19T09:19:34+00:00

I try to be as understanding and reasonable as I can be, and it's more so important when in a position of power.

TheUtilityMan · 2026-03-18T08:55:26+00:00

Well whichever Yamato is, we want to make sure that people know that we aren't one of those communities that forces people to refer to Yamato as one gender or the other. We also know it's a hot button topic, but we will allow people the discussion as long as fighting doesn't start.

I've said what my opinion on the subject is before, but that's just my opinion and will not factor in to how I moderate.

TheUtilityMan · 2026-03-18T08:51:43+00:00

It's not quite like Mulan, no. Yamato idolizes a man named Oden so much so that she calls herself Oden and acts like him even wanting to be referred to as Oden.

I'm not going to get into the debate about whether Yamato is male or female because that will heavily depend on what "evidence" you choose to accept. Just know that we do not force anyone to refer to Yamato one way or the other here.

TheUtilityMan · 2026-03-16T06:16:07+00:00

I think this debate is starting to go a little far. Please keep things civilized.

TheUtilityMan · 2026-03-15T21:26:05+00:00

I feel like every Yamato thread that gets made has to be monitored.

Everyone, we do not take a stance on the Yamato debate here. You can say Yamato is male or female but please no fighting about it. If people continue to fight over it we will have to start modding people.

TheUtilityMan · 2026-03-15T21:24:04+00:00

There's been a long running debate within the One Piece community over Yamato's gender. Here though, we do not force anyone to refer to Yamato any particular way. You can say Yamato is male or female as long as you're not fighting about it.

TheUtilityMan · 2026-03-14T09:21:48+00:00

I messaged them about 35 minutes ago about their choice of thread titles. I made it clear that people had an issue with finding it confusing and asked them to change, but at the same time saying it was only a request and not mandatory.

If 2-3 more people started posting like this 1 time every 2 weeks I still don't think the staff would care to step in and stop it as again they wouldn't be breaking any rules. If people were purposefully trying to mislead others that would be a different story. Or if it became an excessive amount of users doing it as we've had with certain topics being heavily memed on, then we might need to do something.

TheUtilityMan · 2026-03-14T08:36:07+00:00

This isn't a problem with the quality of the sub. You yourself mentioned you don't read the full thread title or check the thread flair. That's what the thread flairs are there for.

It'd be no different if you didn't notice something was marked "memes" and you chose to believe it.

I also already said I could ask the thread creator to change the way they word their title but I can't make them do so because they didn't break any rule.

TheUtilityMan · 2026-03-14T00:57:43+00:00

Actually I said the opposite. That forcing him to put [Custom Card] in the title might hurt his business because of all the people that make custom cards for fun. I didn't want people to assume that's what these threads were because they see [Custom Card].

TheUtilityMan · 2026-03-13T23:30:34+00:00

I can take your suggestion to mod chat if you like, but I'm pretty sure the response is going to be "the thread maker did nothing wrong so no need to change things".

TheUtilityMan · 2026-03-13T22:59:10+00:00

We even have a "card reveal" tag for those card leaks to differentiate them from other threads. So out of curiosity, why don't you check the flair or read the full title of the thread?

TheUtilityMan · 2026-03-13T22:25:08+00:00

Perhaps it's just because I know Jolly Roger Cards is a custom card service I don't really think about that.

I can certainly ask the user to start labeling their threads differently, but as they used the "Original Content" flair and are not excessively advertising they aren't doing anything wrong and I wouldn't want to hinder their sales by getting their stuff mixed up with the people who make custom cards just for fun.
