From my point of view wintrading on ladder is much worse than in a tour: you essentially fuck over other players as well in the race for 1st to 3rd place. In a tournament the only person “losing” actually gains something for it, so while I do agree we lack some consistency I feel like those two scenarios are pretty different in itself. It’s at least more complex than just “everyone deserves a perma ban” in my opinion.

I do understand that screenshots per se aren’t as reliable evidence wise. We are talking about ingame mails tho where I am fairly sure you have the ability to access those or am I mistaken? Understandable, yet even if you only use EN chat for the announcements other players who have all languages enabled still potentially get „spammed“. Therefore it’s not really reasonable to exclusively monitor English chat. Thanks for acknowledging, just add a short general ruleset in the threads to refer to for transparency. Also appreciate the reply in general!

AeOKC is not the player we had the „similar evidence“ tho compared to the Art situation. That was vQAv now renamed to VTIG. Yet as far as I know there have been at least a few very iffy records about AeOKC as well, which isn’t my point in this post tho.

In the screenshot that is linked where we got told CN chat is not seen Summrs full message includes him telling Enzo that we mostly replied to CN players talking shit in shout at our team members, so yes, we let them know.

There have been a few instances now where some systemic issues concerning the moderation of the PokeMMO community have become visible. 1. Arts permanent ban for (attempted) wintrading compared to no sanctions against vQAQv while similar proof of him trying to wintrade was provided. This situation was already discussed at lenght in the topic it was brought up in and did end up getting Arts permanent ban changed to a temporary one. Yet the problem in itself still remains: There is a vast difference between the actions taken. The only "reason" given for the lack of action against vQAQv was that it wasn't anything "recent", yet I am pretty sure the relevant section of the code of conduct was already in place back then and some "policy changes" shouldn't change the punishment from nothing to permanent ban. Either there are no clear policies in place for the moderators to follow or it heavily depends on which moderator handles the situation - neither of which should be the case! 2. SweeTforU and others getting muted for using Shout during team tournament while chinese players did the same without any repercussions. This situation is a bit more complicated to be fair. The GM overseeing the match and issuing the mute did not have CN-Chat enabled, hence he couldn't see their shouts. So while it's obvious why there was no action taken, it can't be the case that a GM has certain languages disabled, especially when the mere usage of those channels can result in a mute. It's understandable that GMs or other moderators might feel like they can't properly moderate certain chats due to a language barrier, yet they should at least monitor those superficially. There could still be insults writting in english or, like in this case, they could use shout while they are not supposed to. There can't be such notable differences in moderation (seemingly) depending on the language. A smaller problem was that there was no prior warning before the mute and it happened while SweeTforU was in the process of starting his team tournament match, restricting his ability to communicate with his team while participating in an official team event. It was a only a 60 second mute but considering the lack of warning and it being issued against an active player this still feels like an overstep in case of moderation while also showcasing some lack of transparency as there are no rules in the relevant forum threads regarding the use of shout. I am sure there are a lot more instances that could be listed here but those are just two pretty recent ones I witnessed myself. Going forward there has to be more consistency and transparency when it comes to the moderation of PokeMMO as well as some form of accountability when fuck ups like those occure. Just brushing off situations like this with "policy changes" or other superficial excuses is not cutting it!

IGN: CHUCKunso Time Zone (UTC Format): UTC+1 Discord: chuckunso Preferred Tiers: OU NU Fluff: Pretty busy with work generally, so won't be able to put in too much time. Down to get back into it to some extend for PSL tho, even if just as a sub. Donation: 1$ mandatory donation.

So we at the time where I have to do a lava cookie raffle again?

No we won't.

Imo it's just shitty for the people not able to 24/7 the game or got unlucky so far so they pretty much missed out on Tini and Larv. Especially since Larv is blocked behind OT Dex. Sure I am bias right now being at 60k encounters in total split across both spots and not getting anything but in general I find it unfair since it seems to be a heavy hit, not just "lets make 50:50 into 40:60 or 1/3 : 2/3. Edit: Also a heads up on such changes would be nice, making people able to priorities certain hordes if they have multiple spots they are hunting at least until such changes hit live.

With items to change IVs from the legendaries I bet this suggestion came up already but: I think a lot of players would appreciate an item to up the IVs of their shiny prizes. I do understand that 5x31 shinies are seemingly not what is aimed for but maybe we could get an item implemented that offers the old 25 IV shinies to be upgraded to 3x31 3x28 in order to make them as viable as current prizes.
