I haven't actively been on the server in quite sometime, but I do have my own my opinions over hearing how things have been going over the last few years, and especially the last handful of months. Just because I'm not really around does not mean I ever stopped watching. And I think that applies to the older community members as well who might be looking for a reason to rejoin the server who should be considered valuable community members if they care enough to stay up to date on the server and what has been going on with it.

I'm going to say this as impartial as I can. Speaking from my own experience as a staff member from other servers, running a server of any kind is never a walk in the party and staff are on fair grounds to defend their rules-- and sometimes must do tough decisions to maintain the health of the community. Community balance is a huge key, and it can be a substantial hurdle to upkeep that.

And honestly, I think the state of the community is really telling at the moment if Dawn out of all people got banned from the discord server.

I do think some of the community could benefit from taking a step back, but I think that seriously applies to the staff team aswell, and Tez, this response just does highlight my issues with the staff at the moment, and especially some of the newer staff members that has joined in recent time. I'm not saying this word by word verbatim, but so many of the responses from staff members just boil down to either ''you're wrong we're right you're just being immature & or your thoughts and opinions don't matter because you're not an active participant on the server'' and it just comes off as condescending. Double read some of these responses if you doubt me.

If there is this much community discourse going, I think something bigger is going on then just a problem with the community itself.
