Wickens Wicked Reptiles Goes Unhinged
Some of you may have known that an author here at Resolve was known for being a moderator of the Wickens Wicked Reptiles server.
After one person approached and was told to report messages to Discord directly ASAP, some of the server members began a conspiracy that the whole server was full of groomers. The truth is that the alleged "groomer" was a person that underage individuals invited to their own chat – any inappropriate behavior in their DMs needs to be reported to Discord to keep the integrity of the platform itself. I don't know if the person was a groomer and it isn't my job to immediately ban someone based on a group chat and I do not want screenshots of your personal group chats especially if it contains alleged illegal material.
A note was made and sent to the admin chat of the server to make everyone aware. On repeated reports of a user making the same transgressions I would probably investigate and someone eventually did.
Since then, several users have continued to scream about the server supposedly hosting groomers and pedophiles. They've done this whenever they feel they have gotten something incorrect. When one user posted a Black Eyed Leucistic ball python of theirs and called it an Albino – realizing their friend was wrong caused them to scream about child abuse.
You can find all of the information about Discord Trust & Safety and their documentation site.
Wickens Wicked Reptiles is not full of groomers.
This is a statement blown out of proportion so that children can justify getting someone banned when the appropriate response was to report any unwelcome behavior in a DM to Discord and block that user immediately.
According to at least one user of Adam Wickens' Discord server, Adam and Tikayle are directly responsible for endangering children by exposing them to adult content allegedly hosted on the server.
Adam Wickens, Tikayle, and those users do not understand the weight of the allegations they make.
For 4 years I pumped boosts into the server for Adam and also paid for the premium features of the mee6 discord bot. At one point I bought Adam a snake so he could stop producing spiders and could produce Black Eyed Leucistics – but that's a different story.
The last two years have been sketchy from other moderators leaving, moderators just not doing anything at all, and moderators just ignoring the server after Adam's infamous leopard gecko cohabitation video that got him in trouble with Darien Drollinger of MorphMarket, etc.
I asked Adam to remove my Admin status. I was just going to be a normal member.
Today, Adam accused me of trying to "delete the server" – which is insane. The mee6 bot, Bob the Jeweled Lacerta custom bot, etc were all tied to my account. I cycled the mee6 bot to get my premium subscription back and disconnect it to a bot (Bob) connected to my developer account.
That's it.
The apparent staff they have now say the bot was deleted.
It wasn't.
I literally cannot even do that.
Data for mee6 is attached to a guild ID (discord "server" - they're still called guilds in the dev documentation and some bots). All they needed to do is add it back (minus my premium subscription which was moved). This is trivial and idiot proof... you would think.
Bob the Jeweled Lacerta was a Discord custom bot tied directly to my Discord developer account. That was deleted – that bot did nothing. That was only used to put a custom profile and avatar on mee6 when that was supported.
Below you'll find Tikayle outright lying:
And you'll find a screenshot of Adam telling the truth:
You can clearly see I was not removed but quite literally asked to have my admin status removed.
You can very clearly see I quit.
Tikayle is not a pedophile according to Staff/Admin knowledge. She simply lies.
Adam Wickens is not a pedophile according to Staff/Admin knowledge. He simply doesn't know what is believable.
There simply isn't any reason to lie about all of this. I don't know why they chose to.
I removed many of the emojis that I had created either entirely (such as Adam's Got Snilk? and Cage Karen campaigns) or that may appear in other servers (which I probably did get from other servers) not because of pettiness but to make sure that any of those items were not the responsibility of Adam Wickens with regards to "borrowing" them from other servers and/or paying artists.
The only thing affecting that server is people being painfully inept. There were no malicious actions on my part. The premium subscription to mee6 belonged to me and all they have to do is add it back themselves (without my subscription). Bob the Jeweled Lacerta was a defunct unsupported bot tied directly to my developer account that had no value to them. The emoji are of no real value. Most of them were barely even used and quite a few were outright stolen (by me, admittedly) from other servers.
Update: Still lying. I do not have an alt and did not join TRR. Tikayle is intentionally on a mission to harass and loop Adam into the circus. This is shameful behavior.
As you can see above, I willfully stepped away. All of these other lies about supposedly being fired, deleting the server, destroying all the (stolen) emojis, and now ban evading are all unnecessary and quite insane – if I was "fired" then how did I retroactively get permission to delete things? What is the alleged "ban evasion" beyond Tikayle just wanting to convince everyone I'm just a really really bad person? How do they not know how to add mee6 back with their own admin accounts? Why lie? It's pointless, tacky, and disappointing.
Update 2: Going from it was "definitely" to now waffling is hilarious. I invite readers to go search the server for "pedophile" and find out that the server is used mostly for discussing pedophiles and pedophilia – but the server is not for "drama" after they've spent a good portion of the day screaming about it when they should have been clicking the "add to discord" button on mee6... remember mee6? It was the bot they spent the day screeching about claiming the server was supposedly being "destroyed" because I moved my premium subscription... when they were one click away from re-adding it... and a few clicks away from paying for their own premium subscription. That's quite the drama.
Oddly enough, like Adam, I also gifted Tikayle a snake. At the time his sibling sold for over $3,000USD. She wanted it for an educational program – I want to reiterate that, at this time, Tikayle is not a pedophile according to Staff/Admin knowledge.
The shame these two must be feeling over a discord server turning into #pizzagate (again) all because they didn't know (or ask) how to add a bot to their own server should be immense. There are no children locked in the basement of Wickens' Discord Server Pizza Parlor in spite of Adam Wickens and Tikayle trying to insist otherwise.
Update 3: I was asked why all these accusations were so lightly thrown around the server.
Many allegations were started by this person. As you can see, this person believes that Amazon and PornHub are identical and that Wickens Wicked Reptiles' discord server is responsible for her accessing alleged PornHub content while underage. It's quite insane.
The link in the server that allegedly hosted this "adult content" was for a gaming PC with an anime character that was certainly a somewhat sexualized game character but was not pornography or even NSFW (well, it's NSFW if you don't want people to think you're a massive weeb) by any means. It was a waste of my time to be told that TRR hosts explicit sexual content because user generated media on the Discord chat platform provides a link to a gaming PC on Amazon.com that allegedly has the same content as PornHub. That is stupid and insane.
If Discord acted on every whim of the user in the screenshots above then there would only be one active discord user. All of the other users would have deeply concerning accusations leveraged at them for using Amazon.com to shop.
Tikayle and Adam want you to know that the server has an extreme concern of child sexual abuse. At this time, to be clear, Adam Wickens and Tikayle are not pedophiles according to Staff/Admin knowledge. At this time, Amazon links are not moderated out of Wickens Wicked Reptiles to protect "kat" from accessing adult content. It remains unclear if "kat" knows the difference between Discord, PornHub, Amazon, or if "kat" is secretly locked in the basement of Adam Wickens' pizza parlor.
"kat" remains in a server that they insisted was unsafe for minors due to sexually explicit material. At this time no Staff/Admins are aware of Tikayle or Adam Wickens intentionally exposing "kat" to adult content. If you are otherwise aware of these activities please locate and contact the appropriate authority (such as Discord or the police) immediately.
"kat" threatening to send literal pornographic content of a minor to other users if she does not get her way.

Conclusion
Watching this whole thing unfold was like seeing someone's grandfather try to set the clock on his stove and accidentally setting the kitchen on fire while Tikayle and Kat roleplayed #pizzagate including screaming "Pedophilia in Wickens Discord server!" when literally all they had to do was click [Add to Server] on the Mee6 website.
That's it. That's all they had to do. It's embarrassingly stupid.
Just another day in the reptile hobby.
