Hello, @Belzebel. I will divide this post in different parts in order to provide as much clarification as possible, pre-announcing that it will include details in order to support the statements that will be done. Unfortunately, the way ban and appeal works is something you have never been able to grasp despite I have tried to explain you them several times, both when you were within the staff team and as well outside. The problem starts in the first place when you say "quick to ban", making it sound in a bad thing, for the simple reason that you have no clue about how bans works despite I explained you several times every time you were getting punished for something and even in other moments. Warning exists, but there are few variables that affect how and if they are issued. I have already explained you them several times, but lets mention some here: The rule that is being violated: For Chat Infraction & Trade Infraction, if sending a warning here or not is totally and entirely situational cause there are both big and small infractions in both. Chat Infraction Making the example of something small, like it can be a little spam, we generally just issue a warning if the user has never broken rules before. If the user has already broken rules before, and therefore this means he already is familiar with rules and specially already received a warning for something else before, we issue a mute ban. For something heavier, for example involving racism like it can be «"Ehi you all nigga should die"» or, making a non-racist example, something like «"you fucking retard go fucking die you bastard», which is obviously way more serious and unacceptable, we just issue a mute ban directly without any previous warning. The reason why there is a division between the severity of the infraction is obvious, where one is a little thing that does not damage anyone or, if it does, is something small, and the other (racist/insult, etc) is something that affect the whole community and damages it. Trade Infraction Exactly like Chat Infractions, even here there are infractions more serious than others. A small Trade Infraction could simply be a user advertising a pokemon wrongly (eexample saying he sell a pokemon saying it's all +20 when in reality its stats are below), while a bigger one is a succesful scam. First is a warning, remembering the fact that warning are issued only if you have not received any punishment before, cause if you did then you should have familiarized with the rules and also have already received a warn, while the second instead (succesful scam) is a direct trade ban for X days. Even here, the reason is simple. in the second one is a real damage to a player that sometimes cannot even be reversed if not reported on time/fast and therefore deserves a direct trade ban while in the first a direct trade ban is not needed (remembering the previous punishment stuff) as the damage is something really small. GM Infraction Giving that GM handles the most serious infractions possible, warnings before ban do not exists here or are really really rare. Some of the serious things GM handle are: Real Money Trading (accounts, item, pokemons being sold or bought for real-life money which also harm and destroy economy), Unauthorized Software (usage of illegal software to gain unfair advantage over other players and also harm and destroy the economy), Bug Abusing (abusing of possible bugs to gain unfair advantage over other users and destroy economy, there was a issue in 2018 were people could duplicate Coin Capsule for example). None of these things deserve a warn before ban. Imagine someone duplicating Coin Capsules (like happened in 2018) on purpose and starting to sell them. Going there and telling them «"Ehi, saw you are bug abusing and selling the products of it, can you just stop please?"» after the user gained millions after selling bug abused things. It would be incredibly stupid and totally unfair toward the honest players. Same goes toward someone who is using Macro (unauthorized software) to farm money or pokemon for hours while being outside of home. What do you tell them? «"Ehi, sorry for the disturb, saw you using macro and farmed 3 millions and also caught a epic charmander while you were sleeping, just don't do it anymore, ok?"» It would be totally unfair toward honest players who farmed hard to obtain those things. No need to say but if the users in the appeal are honest and cooperative, and the damage they brought/did can be removed (example they farmed 5 millions pokedollars with macro, and they still have them so they can be removed) then we will obviously offer a second chance if that's their first infractions. The punishment history of the user: If someone has already previous punishments received, the user should be already well aware of the rules and have familiarized with them, specially since they should have received already a warn or got told by staff to familiarized with rules during the appeal. I mean, rules in general should be read before playing if we would like to be technically true, but we are anyway kind enough to issue just a warning at the first infraction and remind users to familiarize with them. Some appeals mainly take long time for two (or three, although third is really small) reasons: Infraction is a really problematic and big one (for example Account Hacks and RMT) User has a really long punishment history, on multiple platform (game, official pro discord, official tournaments discord + other stuff like spreading lies to incite riots toward staff) and therefore we need to understand what and how we want to actually proceed. Smallest of the things, Staff members being volunteers and therefore having like 3 hours available today, maybe 6 tomorrow and maybe only 1 the next day. Teerav was a moderation staff member in the past, you can ask him about the activity time, where there are people who can just handle 2 hours a day, which seems a lot but is not. But lets go down and make an example of a really problematic case, making a GM one for example, which is probably the most known complaint: Example: PlayerA starts to sell their account goods in change of real-life money (EUR/USD just to give an example). He sells 500.000 pokedollars and 9 pokemon to 10 different users. Yes, what just described looks incredibly messed up, however that's how 95% of the RMT cases are. In this case what we do in the first place is banning all the seller accounts (obviously) and then start to check all his trade logs of all his accounts from A to Z (even past one that might be 1 year before the RMT happened) to find every single user he sold the items to, and the trades that looks suspicious and investigate them. Now that we handled the seller, it's time for the buyers. Who bought from PlayerA(seller) is potentially involved in other RMTs, we cannot know until we find. So GM will go and check all the trade logs of the buyers cause maybe the buyer decided to move the bought goods on his alt accounts to hide them. Now lets suppose that the buyer has 3 accounts, this means that GM will have to go and check all the trades and connections in those 3 accounts where maybe the user did hundred trades in his game-life. Multiply that for the 10 different buyers and each buyer has 2-3 accounts (even if, as staff, most of the rmters have even more than 3-4), this means you will have to check all the trades and connections of 25-35 accounts (seller included). In the end, during the appeal, the user will be asked to be honest and cooperative and we will have to verify everything he says with the data we obtained. We are pretty kind during appeals, to my opinion, to the point where people deny even speedhacking despite they do that in front of other 50 players and get reported by 10 of them but we still give them more chances to be honest so we can offer them another chance to play with their account. Few months ago, our GMs found a mass RMTer group that had sold more than 800 millions pokedollars in total and the account to check were more than 155, which takes even more than a week. If a player trust or not a staff member, it really does not mean the staff member is actually unprofessional or handle the case wrongly. The only times where a staff member is not allowed to handle a punishment is when the said staff member is the one being involved. For example, is someone start to say "Keita is a fucking retarded idiot", I will not handle it myself but pass it to someone else. Here below the evidence: Really important as well that the reason you are not able to pick another MOD to handle your appeal is exactly what you have done, Belzebel, by playing the staff roulette and showing how much abusive that can be. You first were unsatisfied with Qeight; So you came to me (Keita/Shinohara), which was fine to a certain point despite Qeight did not abuse power or punished you wrongly (and 10 different admins from 2018, period Qeight joined, until now can confirm you that, Red/Sugar/Mage/Arkos/Eaty-Walross/Shaolan-Cames/Fluffles/Xylos/Shinohara/Logan/, so I don't understand why you say different unless you think all of us are blind). After that you were even unsatisfied with me (for the ban with the viadinho), which in the future evolved even in starting trashtalking me as well using as well racist terms and spreading lies about me (we'll get to this point later), therefore Walross talked to you about your behaviour (you were still in staff). After Walross, months later, in order to explain you the OnlyFans and what was wrong with having it in our community, Ehkoe intervened to help (both as your friend and as well as staff) and talk to you. All of this in the last year of course (2020), however if we consider even before than 2020 then more than 8 different staff members handled your punishments, and you always complained about them. Also, that number without counting all the one that actually warned you within the staff about your behaviour issues like you jumping within discussions about PVP (when we were still deciding it within staff and had not a council) and calling brainless people that had a different opinion than you and then calling them sexist after they asked you nicely and kind to refrain from coming out of nowhere and start insulting or disrespecting people calling them brainless for using a specific pvp style, as that's unnecessary and not productive. Just leaving a little part of it here, to give context, but not gonna go further as it's unneeded and the aim is not shaming or similar but just explaining that a lot of the things you see are just reaction after the staff team (not only qeight) just is not able to absorb unjustified insults and hate anymore. I mean, you were the first staff member in history that needed to be muted on the staff discord due to the continuous insults toward other staff. In no mean this is meant to insult you, obviously, but what you always did and shown was that you just played the Staff Roulette and looked for a staff member who actually agree with your vision and not a staff member who handle your case fairly and justly as it's correct to be. As for the appeal that was locked, it was not locked immediately but you were given an accurate explanation on why you were banned, shown you evidences as well of when you got warned about the topic (warned before the ban, out of kindness, so you had time to not commit that infraction anymore despite you had already more than 15 in total). You however tried to force a change of MOD and ignore the appeal itself, despite as I explained above it's just not possible to change MOD for the reason mentioned above plus the fact of how you abused that "want a different mod" system or the complaint in general about who was banning you/the bans you were receiving from different people. Appeal was therefore locked in the moment you were not cooperative and just pretended us to once again do what you want. No, staff member are not allowed to call others idiot. But, at the same time, players are not allowed to do the same. Please, refer to this post I made before for some extra detail about the first part: HERE (Written by Shinohara) and HERE (written by Walross) and then keep reading here. Qeight/Felix way of addressing the whole hate toward him has been wrong as he used a wrong language, but he reached a point where I think that he's totally right in being really mad about the way he's being treated. You specially Belzebel throw a lot of hate toward staff, and this is easy to prove just by watching your videos where not only spread lies and trashtalk but also target people (despite you complained in the past where some player did it with you). I will literally make an easy example here about it. In the past, in a private discord, I mentioned not being a fan of onlyfans and I preferred it not existing for various reasons (I still think it like that and will add reasons below), and stating that's different, in my opinion, than a porn actor/ess career. Reasons for that thought are literally these (as stated as well to a friend I talked with few days ago): However, you literally took my statement about it should not exists and transformed it into: Put into a Google Doc and sent it into a guild discord with more than 2500 users inside. (and later said google doc/screenshot went around the community) All of this is honestly cringe and sad. Also, bias behaviour for the onlyfans ban (discussing your patreon that contains +18 material and even send a warn when you open it)? You were talked by 3 people before getting banned, exactly cause it could have been prevented, but you just ignored and kept doing it.. Lets add as well the fact that, as a person who cared about you in the past, I tried to stop you in 35 different ways from breaking rules even to the point of dedicating you 12 hours in a row to talk with you about explaining you the situation, how you were breaking the rules and how to actually behave and report taunts/provocation from other players without answering to them. As you were ignoring me and keep breaking rules (and since discussing with you when you have a different opinion is just close to be impossible), I just tried to approach Teerav so he could have probably helped you better in understanding that you were just once punishment away from the permanent ban (where banning is something that no staff, and specially me, like doing). I didn't talk to teerav with any bad intention, specially since I never had a bad intention within the PRO related environments. I do this with the community in general, and I can prove it as I have done to you in PM. Last week, a user was starting to break rules and getting worse, so what I did was asking to a friend of this person (within staff) to actually talk to him and block him before it would have gotten to far so we could have both fixed the situation before it was gonna be too late and avoided a ban, since ban sucks specially in situation they can be prevented. However, about it, what did you do? Made this piece of art and spread it. Included this into your google doc and spread that into a community with 2500 PRO players, which later got shared around. This not only is racist for obvious reason (it clearly is as you are using my nationality to judge me) "Japanese sexist culture", regardless the fact you called "sexist" over than 20 staff members even when you were a staff member simply cause they told you to remain respectful if you wanted to participate in discussions and you were replying "Oh yeah, I am a woman so I have to shut up cause I am an object... you are sexist", despite no one ever said anything even minimally close to that (and there were other women in the discussion) but people just asked you to not insult people with a different mindset. Which was followed by further spread of hate: So, in short, no staff should be allowed to behave like this but recently the frustration shown and verbal abuse is literally a result of not being able to absorb anymore all of this hate based on lies and false things. Small mention to the fact on how you created us hundred hours of work by saying in your video by calling it HOW TO GET UNBANNED saying that all the banned people should go and appeal again mentioning they felt humiliated by staff. Despite they had already appealed and complained already in the past, and I mention past cause you made people spam that stuff in more than 300 people all with the same copy paste message you passed them that had already their case solved and complain reviewed and handled by one of the admin/leader in the last 4 years. This is just the tip of the iceberg obviously, but this is not the place aimed at pointing out everything unless further spread of lies are done where it will be necessary to point out any false-accuse and just say the truth done to avoid people being innocently being put in the bad light. The same happen with players obviously, which is why I had no problems in mentioning Rise (a former staff member we kicked) who damaged players by power abusing. In my eyes there is not just black or white, regardless if it's player or staff, truth is necessary and the spreading of lies and false accusation to put people in a bad light is just wrong. I will also make you other examples here below to make you understand what I mean with player unjustified hate. As I mentioned them in another post, I will simply put them in a spoiler so they are easier to close for the one who read them already: Already addressed this Staff Roulette above and how much abusive it can be. Action will be taken only if the staff member is directly involved in the case (e.g If you in-game insult me, I cannot ban and handle the case and I have given example above) or they abused power (in that case will be removed if there are evidences to support that claim, since we don't punish someone only cause player says stuff but is not able to prove it and on our logs everything is fine) or they have misused power or treated the banned user wrongly due to personal reasons or similar. However, none of that happened until now in the case you mentioned. Or, if it happened, then 10 different admins (Red, Arkos, Sugar, Mage, Eaty/Walross, Shaolan/Cames, Fluffles, Xylos, me-Shinohara and Logan) from 2018 until today are totally unaware of it and I invite you to properly report it. Please, read as well the link I passed in the second part of the post HERE (Written by Shinohara) and HERE (written by Walross) cause they are important and address things that I didn't repeat just to avoid a 30 kilometre post. Kind regards, - Keita8 points

Wally, but I quitted due to some decisions the staff team made. So what i did was simply try to either revert them or give alternatives. I give u the example of rerolls, i always said Rerrolls needed some kind of rework, including a way to get the desired HP on a legendary. And thankfully, you and your staff team managed to add a new feature for rerolls. Im glad you did it. Now all im ''pressuring'' you with, is the HP part, since i think its a must we can get them, not an easy way, but a possible way (check Idkup thread). Prehax in the other hand, he quitted for good, he was malding, didnt agreed with your decisions & some staff also left due some intern conflicts (as i was told). Then he came back, and changed things, i dont blame him for changing the game, I blame him for not being able to take some criticism/advices. The same way u ignored/didnt trust community with PvP Council. I understand your part, if u would follow what every player says, many bad decisions would have been made, but im sure you can easily detect those. I give u the example again in PvP Council, if Jorogumo provided you enough evidence that a poke deserves a ban, its trustworthy( before he became you 'advisor'. he always provided WoT and u simply never gave much credit to it). Some players are more wise, more experience than others to make such decisions, Or other example, McShitter with all of his ideas. Such players like myself, give you and your team ideas, suggestions to improve the game. I remember telling you about adding a way to have multiple legends Set. u totally ignored it, i spoke to Keita about it, i think few days after it got into the game. Also my question to Felix was: why, he knows most part of community hates him, he also dislikes most community. also doesnt play the game, but still likes to be staffer and waste his time here. So i think he either has nothing better to do in life or simply likes to be around just to make us, his haters, mad. Idk its a waste of time, but its his life. If i was hated as he is, i wouldnt waste my time in a game i dont play, and where i dislike the community.2 points

Hello PRO Community. I feel I want to share my own opinion on Prehax/Qeight. I feel that as a Game Master you should always display a higher level of maturity than the rest to balance the strict nature which the position sometimes has to deal with. I have seen how he acts and responds in the discord and it gives an impression of arrogance. That said, we do not know what he has to deal with daily. It can be stressful. I saw what happened on discord but I think we need to be more understanding as players. I see discord as a place where staff and the community can "unwind". Ofcourse within the boundaries. We don't know the struggles they go through or what they have to endure every day. Prehax/Qeight is not a bad person at all but because the work he does requires hard decision making that sometimes results in banning, we assume he's bad or corrupt or abusing his power. I know it sounds like I am sucking up but those who know me well can vouch, i'm anything but a suck up. All i'm saying is, let's try and understand one another and support each other, no matter the faults we have as individuals. We are a great community and I hope we can reach newer heights together. Thanks.2 points

Heyho boys and girls, I've been thinking a lot about potentially new forms for Summer, Halloween and Christmas the last few days. Since we already have a lot of forms, I wanted to see your ideas. There is no need for pixel art. You can just draw forms and post them here. The only rule there here is that it has to be your own work and idea. Don't post pictures that you googled or is not your idea originally. We may use some ideas. o/ Furthermore, we will hold a public voting and reward the first (if there are many submissions, maybe also the first three). The reward will be a Pokemon mount of your choice. If the mount is not yet added in PRO and isn't impossible to create then we will add it in the next client update. Last but not least, one more thing; If you create a form for a Pokemon with a pre- or evolution, please create forms for the whole family. If the interest or the time investment is not for you, please stick to Pokemon without evolutions. Submission format: The competition ends July 1st 2022 12 AM GMT+0.1 point

World of Warcraft, the community made the whole staff change Feral Druid multiple times, by just saying it's unbalanced/broken, Made Rogue Assassination skill be removed since the rogue could basically stay areal forever as long as he does the proper rotation Made Mage Frost damage getting lower since it was giving slow/freeze + high dps Made Death knight Blood lose it's worms that made it immortal. Reduced paladin Bubble CD time, etc.. Tera the community made the staff correct the scythe class because was dealing too much damage with minimum effort + life leech Made the staff nerf the Lancer damage output, since it was purely an immortal tank with infinite mitigation and high damage on pvp. Overwatch, everytime the community makes the staff change damage/ CD of certain charactes that are unbalanced Elders Scrolls Online every Wednesday they fix unbalancing, add community chosen items that were removed, remove updates that got a negative feedback. Those are 4 of the greatest MMORPGs ever made, of a staff that listen to the community feedback, all those games have 6 years + and they manage to attract the player base every time by listening to the community.1 point

Everything you said is great and i agree with it. Just pointing out something that i honestly see as wrong here. Doing something for free does give you the right to be an ahole to whoever is enjoying the free service. You do not see volunteer workers who are picking up the trash in the park telling you : "move your [hecking] leg and, let me pickup that godamn can of soda from under the bench where your fatass is sitting , move over before i also pick you up as well like the trash you are" . Doing a free service is not an excuse to be an ahole, just wanted to make that clear since this is where this whole problem started.1 point

Good evening, I've no requests , just a small explanation addressed to the community , There might be some troubles between staff & members due to being so strict or firm on execution , rules or appeals or what so ever. Those people firstly are working basically for free and spending hours of their day instead of having fun in real whether they like the moderating role over all in life or the authority or not so you might say, But what they do is trying to keep a game with a lot of criteria that a lot of people/us enjoying it in an order that kept the game healthy and alive for quite long time extends over 6-7 years. Maintaining an order by rules in anyway and earning respect to execute it , can't be simply done by being as a moderator or staff who takes part in a trolling chat or being malleable or not firm just to be friendly that's not their objective. Please be noted this firm attitude and roles of staff with due respect to the rules are a reason why you can play this game and have fair stuff that can protect you , to keep up with thousands of members with thousand issue to be dealt with daily along with the system errors and so on. So last to say , understand the burden they carry , a lot of the old staff already left the community because they are not willing to put more time in the game and so if you are against the staff traits or behavior you can engage yourself and participate or apply and try handle the tasks and see with your way how not everyone ( your friends specifically ) will treat you and your decisions and feel towards it. Thank you so much all staff community specially to the old ones who lasted till today devoting tons of effort and time. Special thanks/shoutout to : @Senrosia @Shinohara @Qeight @Red @Eaty @Maisa And all other staff members. gl hf ladies & gentlemen.1 point

And now, he is using this thread to put "Aww" and "Haha" reactions under every post that criticizes his behavior, making a complete farce of Shino's attempt to defuse the situation. I am talking to you directly now, Prehax, since you are clearly following this thread and drag it into the dirt: The work you do for PRO is extremely valuable and probably a big part of why PRO feels so good to play, even tho I don't always agree with your changes. That doesn't mean it's infallible and nobody is allowed to critique your work, nor does it excuse your behavior regarding the criticism. The immaturity you present is very damaging for the recognition of the rest of the staff team and maybe you should start thinking about that before you continue acting like this.1 point

I don't want to go into your topic about the jetskis since its pure nonsense imo. But it's not my job to answer this. The fact that some player kinda starting a witch hunt for a specific staff member is just annoying and without any sense. Wanting someone to be fired because he called a few ppl "stupid/idiot" while he is doing a damn good job on what he is supposed to do is just... Won't go deeper into that.1 point

Hi there @Nyong Your question lack of context, so I am not really sure about how to address that. I will in any case assume you are talking about appeals, as that's where the threads gets the longest to be replied in some situation. Please, make sure to correct me if you meant something different. The answer is here simply that the time necessary for an appeal to be answered is based on the kind of punishment the user received and in general the situation the user found himself (intentionally or not). I will make you two examples in order to make it easier: Example one: PlayerA starts to insult PlayerB telling them "You are a fucking retarded idiot". Staff intervened The situation in this case is really clear, there's not much to think about cause the infraction is evident and there is not really a need for big investigation if not small one (e.g check chat log to see further recent, and not reported, behaviour OR previous punishment history/connections). Therefore, what staff will do is simply issue a punishment. This punishment is generally a Quiet Ban that mute the user from all the game chats for X days, unless user got many punishments already and therefore goes to the next step directly that is either a temporary ban from the whole game or a permanent one. When the banned user will appeal the ban, it will be really fast for the simple reason that everything is already clear and honestly even easy to handle. What staff will check in the appeal is simply if the user understood why he got punished, if he regret it and understood from it. If appeal is successful, the ban will be reduced (not removed entirely unless first infraction), exception made when you have reached your 8th punishment when at that point there is just no way to get unbanned. Example two: PlayerA starts to sell their account goods in change of real-life money (EUR/USD just to give an example). He sells 500.000 pokedollars and 9 pokemon to 10 different users. Yes, what just described looks incredibly messed up, however that's how 95% of the RMT cases are. In this case what we do in the first place is banning all the seller accounts (obviously) and then start to check all his trade logs of all his accounts from A to Z (even past one that might be 1 year before the RMT happened) to find every single user he sold the items to, and the trades that looks suspicious and investigate them. Now that we handled the seller, it's time for the buyers. Who bought from PlayerA(seller) is potentially involved in other RMTs, we cannot know until we find. So GM will go and check all the trade logs of the buyers cause maybe the buyer decided to move the bought goods on his alt accounts to hide them. Now lets suppose that the buyer has 3 accounts, this means that GM will have to go and check all the trades and connections in those 3 accounts where maybe the user did hundred trades in his game-life. Multiply that for the 10 different buyers and each buyer has 2-3 accounts (even if, as staff, most of the rmters have even more than 3-4), this means you will have to check all the trades and connections of 25-35 accounts (seller included). In the end, during the appeal, the user will be asked to be honest and cooperative and we will have to verify everything he says with the data we obtained. We are pretty kind during appeals, to my opinion, to the point where people deny even speedhacking despite they do that in front of other 50 players and get reported by 10 of them but we still give them more chances to be honest so we can offer them another chance. You can understand from here that from a simple infraction like "You are a fucking retarded idiot" committed on a single account TO a RMT case (a single one) where you have to check 30 and more accounts, the different is as huge as the mount everest. Few months ago, our GMs found a mass RMTer group that had sold more than 800 millions pokedolalrs in total and the account to check were more than 155. In the end, not less important, is that Staff Members are volunteers (not paid) and therefore are active for their duties only during their free time. However, to clarify, this doesn't mean they can do whatever they want and be online whenever they want, as we have strict standards when it comes to staff activity that we want staff to follow. This cause even if you are a volunteer that doesn't mean you have to put/have less efficiency, organization and professionalism than any other job since no one forced staff members to join staff but they decided to volunteer themselves. I hope this make it clear why some appeal are replied before than others. Please, let me know if you meant anything else or if there is any part of it that is unclear !1 point

I would recommend umbreon for a specially defensive eevee. Jolteon, espeon, and glaceon are specially offensive, leafeon and flareon are physically offensive, and vaporeon and sylveon usually run physically defensive sets (sylveon can also go specially offensive).1 point
