Title: Should Pedophiles Have Their Times Removed?
Post by Bryce729 on 07/07/21 at 17:12:13

This has been a pretty hot topic in the community after recent events and I feel like we need to come to a decision on this.

I don't think we should remove history from the game due to outside circumstances, especially in the case of Sword where so much history would have to be re-written due to his times being removed. Removing his WRs gives his competitors a false sense of victory in that they had WR but they didn't know of it until now (many have referred to Dragon on Daisy Circuit in this way). The best we can do with pedophiles is not allow them in any discord servers and de-platform them.

Removing someone from the players page doesn’t erase WR history, it just stops them from competing on this chart.

the PP is a privilege, its not built to be accurate

so yeah bop them from here at least, maybe make them anonymous on the accurate charts

I agree with Arvo, I think Sword's times here should be removed because this site is much more of a privilege, as said, than an accurate leaderboard, and just like we ban times from cheaters even if they're legit, we should ban pedophiles' times too. In a way, we only accept people worthy of trust here. It can be interpreted as in-game trust, I know, but if someone has lied for years to the community, even if it's not about time trials, wouldn't it be the same?
And of course, since the idea of accuracy has long been abandoned here, banning a high-level player is completely viable, so the fact that his times are iconic and past WRs for some doesn't mean anything. And hey, would you want the PP to be associated with a pedo? I don't think so. Just like cheaters, they lied and lost our trust, there's no need to keep accepting them. They lost their trust privilege, so they lost their spot in the charts. That's all. And that's why I voted Yes.

Exactly like Arvo said, remove them from the PP.

I'd keep them on websites like MKL, which are made for accuracy. They need to reflect all the times a human has said, regardless of who the players are outside of the game. However, making those type of players anonymous is a good idea, though.
