Ik this is a random rant, but I feel like this is the best way to speak about this server to the people who really do care and make the decisions round’ these parts.
It would be very hard to argue that our community hasn’t gone through the wringer within the past few weeks. I don’t want this post to be about all the kylaz stuff, but I DO want to take a stance on the “removal of slicer roles” rumor going around. I think it’s a reasonable idea to maybe review the activity of slicers to see if that still supports what a slicer is supposed to be. There are a lot of people with the role who haven't been active or made an effort to contribute in a meaningful way (the same goes for some staff members but that's for another day). However, I think doing this review right now is very poor timing when taking into consideration all the events that have transpired recently. I, along with others, find it hard to see this purge as anything other than our side of the community getting our slicer roles stripped away because some people tease the staff and have unpopular opinions compared to others. IK NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET, but I would be very disappointed to find out that the removal of this role is more of a "guilty by association" call rather than a "do they actually contribute and represent our community well?" What’s done is done, and I think instead of a purge, it would be amazing to quickly move on from this whole ordeal so we can focus on strengthening and growing our amazing server!
I LOVE LOKA. There’s a reason why me (and so many others) are still here even tho we are old. Even after all the banter and stupid complaints, we have stuck with this server through so many years and are STILL here wanting what's best for the community. Sure, you can argue that people weren’t expressing their opinions in the most appropriate way, but I think things might've escalated so much because we (the community) feel like our voices aren't being heard. I know some people have a bigger target on their backs, but this was a server-wide ordeal and involved a lot of people. This server is one of the greatest ever made. I will literally defend and glaze Loka til the day I die. Nothing will ever change that, but this stuff is all just really OD and unnecessary.
Maybe I'm blowing this all out of proportion. I know it's just a role and the world will keep spinning at the end of the day. Slicer is such a respected role because it's something that shows your dedication to the community and cannot be taken away from you. I just care a lot and I feel like this is silly. Forums were made for people to speak their minds, so I'd love to hear what y'all have to say. God forbid a white boy speaks his mind in the big 26!
