I’m sorry you had such a negative experience in our server. It was a small issue that of asking for certain conversations to take place in certain channels. The original issue frankly never involved you or your friends, it was between the mods and another member, and said member accepted the direction to move to another channel.

Addressing the topics you brought up, many we were unaware were even issues in the first place. We were unaware that the usage of fonts may cause issues for the members in the server. Generally, with the server name being in a font itself, I personally find that to be warning in itself that fonts are used in the server. We would have been happy to find a solution to the issue if you had brought it to the mod team. Alas, there was no communication from *you* that there were issues in the first place.

No one asked that Jamil Viper’s surname be censored. Images of snakes are something we ask to be censored, but not the name of a character. That never once was ever brought up. We do believe in taking accountability for ones on triggers. The topic regarding triggers was simply that putting headcanons for characters that are not your own may put people in the position of feeling pressured to accept a headcanon because of where it was said, as well as implying to new members that said headcanon is part of the server roleplay because it was put in a Rp relevant channel, as opposed to a general discussion channel. That was all we asked, was that the conversation be moved to a different channel. Yes, those things can trigger people with anxiety, autism, and other disorders than affect peoples ability to socialize. There is a lot of pressure to feel accepted by the people around you and that is what we were trying to address. We have a blacklist of things we require to be censored. A member of the staff team had a previous bad experience with role players that led to them censoring things that normally would not be censored, which was then addressed, and accepted at fault, and acknowledged that it was wrong and it wouldn’t happen again. I personally am physically disabled, as well as the mod that made the initial mistake. We understand the harm and effects of ableism and we are all learning no matter what age we are. We are also autistic and struggle severely with social interactions and understanding what is and isn’t appropriate, but that is why we are learning. The mod understood what was said to them, and the issue was resolved.

Having religion and spirituality be censored is for the comfort of people that have religious trauma, I still do not see an issue with censoring it. It is not anti anything to ask for sensitive topics to be censored and warned. We welcome all kinds of discussions, but some may need to be censored for the comfort of others. Discussion of the topics can create discomfort and yes, trigger people. Asking you to censor said topics or cease talking about a topic that makes someone uncomfortable is standard roleplay etiquette. Especially as the mods, we have the right to stop any conversation we feel necessary when it comes to member comfort. Asking for a topic to be censored is not pushing the fault onto you, it is informing and asking that you respect the decisions of the mods to have such things censored. It is frankly a bit disturbing that you think you should be able to talk about whatever you want without consequence or thinking about the comfort of others around you.

I’m sorry you feel that the mod team does not have the maturity to run a server, but frankly you and your friends are the only ones that think so. Members that witnessed the situation agree that the fault was more on your end than the mods, especially with the amount of dogpilling that was done to the mods during the whole situation. Overall this review is very much cherry -picking the situation, finding things to comment on to paint the server in a bad light. The original situation had nothing to do with you aside from the original clarifying questions, which we did answer to the best of our abilities, but you continued to pick apart what we were saying, and not only ignore the relevant parts of our responses, and reply to the parts that you did not like, you kept digging the issue further and further deeper, and whenever we didn’t wish to continue the argument, you accused us of not taking responsibility and ignoring issues in the server. We tried our best to remain civil and relatively professional in our responses, but you and your friends made it very difficult to do so.

Alongside all of this, you and your friends joined the server and almost immediately started spamming channels with your conversations, clogging chats with irrelevant conversations and making it very difficult for any members to talk. You all refused to remotely use our template or put your submissions in a format that made it easy for us to get information. Voice notes for backstories and such are not generally accepted, but we tried to make the server welcoming and accessible to members with their character submissions. We let a lot slide with your group and frankly we shouldn’t have as it let you guys think you had some sort of authority on how we should run our server.

We have a steady number of members and aside from one other member, the only people that left were your friends. That is not a lack of member retention at all. We still have many members (that are not our immediate friends) that are still more than happy to remain part of the server, and find that your actions and statements were more than inappropriate for the server, as well as harassment towards the moderation team. No one appreciates what was said or how you guys handled any of the situation. Yes, the mod team said some things that maybe were not necessary and one snarky comment was made, but to be honest the mods individually were having a bad day, dealing with external issues. I’m sorry any attitudes ended up in the discussion. We hoped that with you remaining in the server, any issues that remained were resolved, and that is why we didn’t remove yourself, and those that accompanied you and shared your opinions from the server, but you used it as an opportunity to deface the server and talk poorly on it in hopes that our server would fail to gain any new members.

We pride ourselves on being a welcoming and comfortable server for all, as it was made after a difficult situation with an old server that made us feel unwelcome and unsafe in the roleplay community. We have built this small server for ourselves, and hope that it continues to be a safe space with the measures we have put in place.
