Floof Bot is a Discord bot built by | Floof Bot is a Discord bot built by Lewdcario that several Smash-related Discord servers use. It has been designated as the dedicated bot used by Smashcords, and nearly all of the listed servers have Floof Bot in use. Features of Floof include user profiles to show characters, friend codes, and other information; it also provides basic moderation features, reaction roles, custom commands, and a server economy system. Floof Bot is integral to the Smashcords network, allowing for moderation logs to be kept across multiple servers, which has aided in keeping communities safe. | ||

In December 2019, {{sm|Zeckemyro}}, the owner of the ''Ultimate'' {{SSBU|Luigi}} SmashCord, stepped down after a document produced within Smash Assembly revealed repeated instances of toxicity in the community. While this was meant to be private, the document was leaked to the public through the server for {{SSBU|Simon}} and {{SSBU|Richter}}, which was violation of policy in the Smash Assembly server. Staff investigated the issue and eventually found the original leaker after misdirection attempts by {{sm|Abbey Street}}, another Smash Assembly member and one of the Simon server's co-admins. A member of the investigation team was approved to attempt to blackmail the leaker — who was a minor at the time — by threatening to send their nude photos and roleplay messages to their classmates and their eSports team. This blackmailing attempt was later revealed in July 2021 to be a false flag used by a Luigi Discord moderator named Uber to try and become an administrator. The "leaker" provided Uber with a screenshot sourcing the leak and, after that, the leaker ceased further contact and deleted their Discord account. The investigation was then closed. In the moment, Lewdcario, as well as other Smash Assembly staff members, expressed approval of the methods used in the server. However, many others also criticised this, pointing out that it was indeed blackmail and wanted accountability, and soon they agreed that it was a bad move. Lewdcario later wrote a letter apologising to the leaker on behalf of Smash Assembly, as well as to the server itself for allowing it to occur. Uber was also punished. | In December 2019, {{sm|Zeckemyro}}, the owner of the ''Ultimate'' {{SSBU|Luigi}} SmashCord, stepped down after a document produced within Smash Assembly revealed repeated instances of toxicity in the community.

In late July 2021, a document<ref>[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eZbU5DfpP5cyQuVwu43t6-PZN5sRblm9ddI6Wyl5a3c/edit?usp=sharing Lewdcario Leave Document]</ref> produced by Carrie Oki was released under a Twitter account dubbed "Lewdcario Leave"<ref>[https://twitter.com/LewdcarioL/status/1419783132002328584 Lewdcario Leave tweet]</ref> that divulged details of this incident, as well as accusations of hypocritical moderation policies and power abuse | In late July 2021, a document<ref>[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eZbU5DfpP5cyQuVwu43t6-PZN5sRblm9ddI6Wyl5a3c/edit?usp=sharing Lewdcario Leave Document]</ref> produced by Carrie Oki was released under a Twitter account dubbed "Lewdcario Leave"<ref>[https://twitter.com/LewdcarioL/status/1419783132002328584 Lewdcario Leave tweet]</ref> that divulged details of this incident, as well as accusations of hypocritical moderation policies and power abuse. It also revealed details of an NSFW channel in the ''Smash 4'' Lucario Discord, which was shut down in 2016 as new Smash Assembly policies were enacted against the practice, wherein Lewdcario also stepped down as owner of the server. Lewdcario's Discord account was disabled shortly after the document's release and multiple badges were removed, which was later revealed to be from a report by Carrie Oki. This also resulted in the Byleth server losing its Discord partnership. The document has been heavily criticised for hiding the identity of Uber, as well as attempting to pin responsibility on Lewdcario herself, leading some to question the intentions behind the document's creation. It was also criticised for having little context in its evidence pertaining to the power abuse allegations. | ||
A few days later, Lewdcario put out a response<ref>[https://twitter.com/Lewdicario/status/1421545057061154816 Lewdcario's response]</ref> that apologised for allowing the incident to occur, but also proved the blackmailing incident was an attempt by Uber to try and fill an administrative position after he was pressured with reports to the police. Evidence of Carrie Oki admitting to doxxing people for "vigilante justice" was also divulged, and evidence of a revenge motive regarding the Pyra/Mythra server's removal the month prior was proposed. Lewdcario later stepped down from Smashcords. All of these events prompted many affiliate Discord servers to cut ties with Smashcords, including the [[SmashWiki:Discord server|official SmashWiki Discord server]]. | A few days later, Lewdcario put out a response<ref>[https://twitter.com/Lewdicario/status/1421545057061154816 Lewdcario's response]</ref> that apologised for allowing the incident to occur, but also proved the blackmailing incident was an attempt by Uber to try and fill an administrative position after he was pressured with reports to the police.
