Slayer of gods is just randomly banning people without valid reasons, knew it was doomed the moment he was mod in the official server with the circus show he did in umcoc years ago that led him to become banned from there
What was the original post and how many post was made before it. Unfortunately all I see is one side of the story. There's usually at least two sides of a story. If I only OP side of the story, I assuming it's going to be in favour OP's opinion.
Kabam can’t have unmoderated conversation happening on an official platform. The mods cannot possibly account for every language spoken by the playerbase. And, to preempt an argument, it is insufficient to have only one or two mods who speak a language, because they obviously cannot monitor all of the conversation that takes place on a busy server. You’d need a whole team of mods for every supported language.
Therefore, Kabam must choose a language to support. The one spoken by all of their employees and moderators, as well as a statistically significant amount of their playerbase (probably majority but can’t guarantee that) makes the most sense and doesn’t require hiring of additional personnel.
It’s not a racist thing, it’s a business decision that needed to be made. Also, a person of any race can speak English (I know it’s a horrible mutt of a language to learn, but just saying that English is not tied to a specific race).
How is that racist? There are language-based servers that can only communicate in that language successfully, and that's as much about conveying the information appropriately as it is about keeping the server organized.

The English rule is currently an official rule that I believe is in the welcome message to the Discord. At the moment Kabam does not have the resources to properly manage and moderate other languages, and thus at the moment English is the only supported language on the forums.
To properly moderate a language in the Discord, especially when it is or can be a high traffic server, requires not just having mods, but having a sufficient number to cover the Discord continuously, with overlapping coverage, with enough people to catch things as they stream by, with sufficient language mastery to not just be able to translate the conversations like a dictionary but also pick up the linguistic and cultural nuances, plus all the ways to curse, insult, or exclaim bigotry in that language. *Plus* the internal staff to manage and monitor those moderators, plus perform the necessary translation services for anything that shows up on the Discord from the staff. It isn't just about getting a couple volunteers and away you go.
Kabam is responsible for all the content on the Discord, and has a code of conduct they intend to enforce. It will take some time to expand that to other languages, because the Discord is not just a free for all to allow people to express themselves.

Pretty sure Slayer is just randomly banning people tho, I got banned for calling Nagase the ytber, a friend I've known for months, Nagussy even tho it's a nickname I've called him for months. Didn't know it wasn't allowed+should've been a mute at best
So it sounds like we can add mod abuse and racism to the list

Are they actually able to Ban people ? And is that what happened ?
Or is it that they just removed the particular comment (like can be done up here, but just isn’t noticeable because deleted comments in Forum here don’t typically get a “message deleted” line leftover afterwards) ?
Let's go ahead and stop the alarmist thread here, before it gets out of hand. There are rules in the forums and the discord that are "English only" not because we are gatekeeping these spaces from specific people, but because we're only able to moderate conversations in english.
