I think we can all agree this is overdue.
Several members of the EPPRB community have come together and formed an agreement, a union of sorts, to force some overdue changes regarding the problems of both the discord server, and how we’ve been treating the community aspect of this project as a whole.
As of now, the demands should have been publicized and we invite any members of the EPPRBCU community, whether or not they are in the discord server, currently in the EPPRBCU, or planning to join the EPPRBCU, to hold off on contributing to the EPPRBCU project until we have confirmation our demands are being met.
I, of course, will be partaking in the union’s actions and will be waiting to relay information about the situation in the discord server to those of you who are interested in the ongoings of the community as a whole.
As much as I have loved writing for this silly project and its community I can’t see the project continuing the way it is now without major active changes in regards to how we’ve been treating each other.
To reference Anton’s argument, there have been cases of people committing acts that would get others banned, but somehow still being present. There is also the point of how some of us, Anton included, are reckless and biased, saying harmful things that are unnecessary and unwarranted. Anton, as much as she brings up valid points, actively contributed to the problem and has proven to be unwilling to improve his own behavior, thus the refusal to let him back in.
In regards to Anton’s situation; He left of her own accord, we just chose not to open the door again.
This should, hopefully, be the last time I say anything regarding that specific situation.
As for Entropy, Mod of DeathScreenMessages, the amount of say the community has allowed them in regards to the issues and various incidents going on in the community has proven to be ill-placed and must be adjusted accordingly. Individual members must recognize that while we are a community, parasocial behavior and complete reliance on others is an issue we have not been taking as many measures to prevent as we should have.
We were warned about these issues by Mewo almost a year ago, who remains ever justified in their stance regarding the server and has been proven correct in his assumption time and time again.
This will be harsh, especially coming from me, someone who still wholeheartedly believes the project itself is not only capable of being continued but also worthy of it.
If the project dies because of this, then it was never meant to exist as it did.
