If J0 and Mopwielder aren't fired then I'm never playing sot again. J0 was instrumental in giving Bruono the spotlight multiple times and Mopwielder deleted messages calling Bruno out in the official discord. People cant manage a community if everyone in the community hates them.

[🐟Barnacle Burwik 🎣 @Burwik]

This is such a nothingburger statement.

SoT NEEDED to come out and denounce the CMs who caused this and the fact that they let this get out of hand.

Rare just needed to say they are going to rebuild their CM system from the ground up and prevent this from ever happening again.

Controversy has erupted in the Sea of Thieves community after a player awarded a prestigious role by devs was accused of misconduct with minors

Many members of the game's partner program have quit and called for an explanation from Rare

[KingHotdogPig @KingHotdogPig]

He may be banned, but this is not over.

Bruno was elevated to Boatswain because certain individuals brought his name up to the Community Management team for promotion in the first place.

He was then further endorsed by various Boatswains, Mods, and Community Managers. Some of whom KNEW about Bruno’s inappropriate jokes and behavior toward a minor, yet still gave their approval without even looking into whether @HeSlashThem was fit to represent the Sea of Thieves community.

@j0toro, @Taaaaamas, and @mopwielder were aware of these concerns, but chose to dismiss them as “drama” while defending the situation with statements like “people can learn and grow” or “we shouldn’t let bullies dictate which way we go”

Framing concerns about inappropriate behavior toward a minor simply as “drama” while labeling those raising concerns about it as “nasty voices” is concrete proof that these people helping lead a major community like #SeaOfThieves, lack the experience and professionalism needed for their roles.

Again, to be abundantly clear, this is not directed at every Mod, Boatswain, or CM. This is directed at those who happen to be these, but have repeatedly shown poor judgment, awful behavior, and forever damaged the image of Sea of Thieves in the process.

The boatswain system needs to go. Elevating regular players into this strange in-between role, where they act as representatives of the game (while having friendships with members of Rare’s team) creates this super confusing and unhealthy dynamic that allows players to be in positions they don't need to be in in the first place.

Not everyone who speaks against you is a bad person, and not everyone who stands beside you is a good one. People raise concerns because they genuinely care about the game and its community. Others go along with the status quo simply to stay close to Rare, maintain influence, or protect their position. That behavior needs to end. Immediately.

So, until the Community Managers and Mods involved step down from their roles at @RareLtd & @SeaOfThieves, I cannot view this community as the safe and welcoming space it once was.

Make your voices known. Unapologetically stand up to this behavior.

[🐟Barnacle Burwik 🎣 @Burwik]

The people who helped Bruno reach Boatswain need to be investigated as well as they harbored and protected a WELL known predator
We need to wipe all CMs and Boatswains
It isn't an elite friend club, it is a duty to uphold the ideals of SoT so players can feel safe
THIS ISN'T SAFE

[Vic @realThatGuyVic]

On the 9th of May, a victim of Bruno reached out to me. For the past 7 months Bruno has been manipulating an, at the time, 15yo into sharing explicit material. That this was allowed to go on for so long, despite the red flags, is absurd. #SeaofThieves 1/2

@realThatGuyVic We gotta kill this guy

[KingHotdogPig @KingHotdogPig]

I can’t even put into words how disheartening it is to see #SeaOfThieves in the state it’s currently in.

We have Community Managers behaving unprofessionally, Discord mods acting like they rule the world, and both think they're above the rest of us. United in censoring discussion around individuals who have absolutely ZERO place in this community and pose an actual threat to everyone in it. All while players are constantly being gaslit by those same CMs and mods into believing the community isn’t in complete disarray when it very clearly is.

What makes this even worse is that these are the very people whose job is supposed to be upholding the community’s values, the Pirate Code, and Microsoft’s Terms of Service. But it feels like nothing is being enforced at all.

Situations like this are 100% avoidable too. If the CM team had genuinely listened to the community and addressed these concerns and allegations early on and did something about it, things never would have reached this point.

To be clear, this issue has absolutely nothing to do with the production or creative development side of the game. Please don't tag developers, artists, designers, or other team members into discussions they have no involvement in. Our criticism and calls to action are specifically directed at the community management side of Sea of Thieves. That team needs serious retraining, and a reevaluation of whether certain individuals even possess the requirements needed to continue representing the Sea of Thieves community in their current roles.

I'm so tired of this, I just want to play the game man...

Why are official sea of thieves boatswains and mods using their private chat to be mean about me :(((

@BethTheBeek why do u continue to play with n word spammers even after being shown what ur friends say
@TheCrewOfFools why are you saying “yikes” as if I did something gross the one time we were in the same vc. Our mutual friend Rui was banned wrongly and you were yapping on about how you could see offical support tickets and were going to find out what lead to the ban (I barely spoke in that vc), and I also don’t think boatswains can do that... But yeah don’t elaborate just act like I was some weirdo cause others were saying it 🤪 gotta join in with my pals!!

The mod is saying I abused emoji perms. Sot partners used to have react perms in that server but removed it after I clown reacted @MakEhOh a couple times (funny) and clown reacted 2 different mods one time (funny). 4 clowns = ABUSED PERMS 🤡
Sorry other sot partners but we can’t be trusted with those sacred permissions because of me.
Also how dare you act like the sot offical discord is “your space”. It is everyone’s space, for you to act like I’m being rowdy in someone else’s house is nuts.

I am calling for the removal of all boatswains. You have let in freaks, start again and add normal people.
I am also calling for all sot discord mods to be given discord accounts controlled by rare called “Sotmod 1, Sotmod 2, etc”. Too many times these mods egos have caused problems. If they are so desperate to moderate, moderate.
If they want to talk, use your main account that has no power to talk. Those should be no personal bias/connection with these accounts.

Anyway it was cool to see that the “boatswain” hideout was their little gossip/complain corner. Grow up!
