We're getting off the designated course here, aren't we? But since it seems that's allowed, and that's what I've always been so good at, I'll toss in my two cents.

I believe that if you choose to share the game server with everyone else, then you too can share a chat server with them as well. As Nat's screenshots show, the moderation in both places is only applied on an absolutely need-to basis. Which, in my opinion, is too lax. But the  situation the Discord has is the same that World 42 has. If you haven't moved from World 42/the RP community (and no blame on you if you do!) then you can deal with a Discord that is pretty much the same way. Right now I count 14 people in that server that I do not like and really don't want to interact with at all and they probably feel the same about me. Some of them are just not mature, others have actively harassed and talked mad shit about me for years. However, the only time they frustrate me is when I see their name in the roster. I have customized my notification settings and blocked them to where I rarely have to pay them mind (although it'd be super nice if it wouldn't even show me there were blocked messages but I suppose that's needed in order to see the context of some conversations). Further yet, there's more I'm ambivalent towards.

What I'm saying is - the idea that this server was ever a "clique" has only ever been a self-fulfilling one. It's not anymore a clique than World 42 itself is. So, it would be very nice if we could have some cooperation here. Put aside differences for once.

However, on the other hand,  I will cede that there are a few people that need to be removed from the community for good. They provide nothing of worth in their interactions on any level. And, as a platform that chooses to associate itself with the Wikia brand, it should rightfully take action about this. Perhaps it won't affect the quality of our actual game server, but this platform has the ability to moderate itself and it really should.

But whatever it does, it is not subjected to Wikia policy because it is not a property owned by Wikia. To even hint at the prospect of trying to damage this wiki because of its associated chat platform when the administrators are not even the same is kind of insulting to anyone who's ever worked on things here. Be it those whom have only made their own character pages or the dedicated folks trying to improve this wiki.

Anyways. I like the changes. It's cool. I just think it's kind of a lost cause with how small the community is now.
