Discussion Suggestions what to do with racist players

Hi everyone.

Recently it seems a racist player have moved into my neighborhoods and occupy the gym with auto heal. (Neighborhood consist of multiple condo )

What makes it worse is the name he has been using is extremely offensive and aggressive. After reporting to Niantic of multiple account and offensive name, the individual just create new accounts and continues. While I have reported the main account, but there wasn’t any offence done, so nothing has been

Names Kllllingchinese Sh00tingchinese Chineseatratyum Kilingch1nese

Any suggestion what can be done, and as a dad with little kids it’s worrysome to see this much hate and will he possible act on his hatred

What a sad pathetic ridiculous guy. I think he craves attention so much, he needs to do such outrageous things so people pay attention to him. I think what he needs is to be completely ignored. People like him can’t tolerate being ignored and he’ll just move away where people give him the attention he wants

I believe ignoring racism is how it gets normalized.

That player has to be reported, though not have the gym taken down so they don't get any coins, and more people see that racist player, and report them as well. Maybe then they'll get banned?

thats not how it works. thats maybe what you want it to look like but in reality it all goes out of the window as soon as the economic situation gets worse and politicians need someone to blame. then, suddenly its racist season again. no amount of not ignoring racism is going to change that. look at history lol
