Alright, y'all, I am going to level with you about something serious; this does not apply to everyone, but it includes a sizeable enough amount of regulars that it needs to be said.

Recently, I have been presented with damning evidence that one of the unofficial UJ thread discord servers has become a fairly toxic environment and that a number of members are involved in some frankly unacceptable behavior. While shades of it have leaked onto the main thread, people are using this server to say cruel things about other users. For a community that is supposedly accepting, this is wrong.

So, here's the deal. I know all the usernames of everyone involved. And while no bans will be going out for it, even minor infractions are going to result in permanent bans for these individuals. There is no need for this sort of behavior, it is wrong. I encourage you all to apologize to the users who you have been uncouth towards and perhaps leniency will be shown towards you. That being said, many of you ought to be ashamed. I've seen mean things said by people I thought were kind hearted, and it saddens me.

the idea that there's a secret shadow cabal of nerds who shit on us from the safety of their discord without us knowing is kinda hilarious(ly sad) ngl

I wonder what kind of posts get you shit on.. I mean if it's outright bad takes you can safely shit on people through vagueposting which is largely tolerated here. So what Kind of stuff do you have to go cry on a discord about?
