Thread:Kreesident/@comment-35189567-20180508132238

There is a recent controversy in the SporeWiki Discord Server that has not only resulted in the deletion of the #trash channel but also costed Impy's adminship, for the purposes of reconciliation and documentation, I'll explain what the controversy was about, I'll try to stay neutral and summerise the controversy as much as I can.

It started when Me, and 2 other users (I'm trying to hide who they are as I don't think they would like being involved in an arguement like this) noticed in #trash that we could no longer use one of Tatsumaki's t!rate command which allows users to rate things with putting a word after the command such as t!rate Kreesident or t!rate Sushi. If you don't know, Tatsumaki is a moderation bot that gives users XP and ranks, you can also add Welcome Messages and notifications with Tatsumaki, Tatsumaki also has a series of 'fun' commands such as t!8ball, t!catfacts, t!fortune, and like I said earlier, t!rate, read more about Tatsumaki here: https://tatsumaki.xyz/.

Going back to topic, Impy later said that one of the admins was the one that disabled the t!rate bot command, the admin later said that the bot command was disabled as people were spamming that the channel with that command and there are still many fun commands that were still allowed, such spamming of the rate command happening just a few days prior when me, Wormy and Parazrael were playing around with that command to rate various things such as countries, cities, and ideologies such as creationism. Impy who at time was an admin, said that since he was an admin, he could re-enable the command, me, and those 2 users I mentioned earlier said yes and he then re-enabled the command just for #trash, we later went into a fight with Technobliterator in the channel, I had to go away for a bit at this point so I'm not sure what happened in #trash, when I came back, I discovered that Techno had deleted #trash as it had brought that arguement mentioned earlier and general disdain.

Technobliterator argued that there was very little chilling that happened in the server, the opposite in fact she said to Impy, which was true especially during the arguement there. She also said that there was never a vote to make a make a bot spam channel which was also true, she also argued that since Tatsumaki was a moderation bot and many people were using it for other things, it looses its purpose, Techno, Impy and one of the 2 users mentioned earlier continued arguing to the point when Techno threatened to remove Impy's adminship because of the way he was talking and later demoted him as the arguement went on, Another user was later promoted to become an Admin to replace Impy as they were considered to be the most qualified to become an admin.

I'm going to bring up some opinions here, if you disagree with my opinion, that's okay as long as it doesn't start another arguement, I think what Techno said does bring some questions, including, what counts as spam, what counts as misusing a moderation bot if its moderation commands were not even being used, and if we need a bot channel which at this point is something I highly doubt will ever be created. I hope I spread the message clearly and did not spread any misinformation, I also hoped that I kept the identities of the users that I did not mention by name hidden and only mentioned the most relevant parties in this arguement.

Wormy, when you're back and if you're reading this, please try to solve this problem and arguement.
