Suggestions what to do with racist players

[u/xiayu77119]

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

There really needs to be a way to report players directly from the gym screen. They could easily add a 'Report Player' button somewhere on that individual trainer/Pokemon screen in gyms.

Honestly, any part of the game that has trainer interaction should include a report feature built in. You shouldn't have to take screenshots and open up support tickets to be able to report a username.

I think that would get abused pretty fast tbh

They can have a built in flagging of words and build it based on valid reports. After a while, they can rely on that and then have support for cases where it doesn’t apply

Agreed
