neither the main post of wiffu nor the vent thread is the appropriate place to discuss what went down in the last 1-2 days. letting this take over the comm is just making it a really unpleasant place for everybody, and we want to contain this as much as possible. if you'd like to discuss it, please do so either here in the mod post, or take your conversation off wiffu.
a mod left up a thread discussing this and was clearly moderating it at the time (there were screened comments in the thread) and i'll be bringing it up in the discord because the whole thread should have been deleted.
on a related note, a lot of the discussions i'm seeing here and also on wiffu are conflating two distinct events, which i'd like to clarify here:
1) the deletion of the original comment from the discourse thread. this was deleted at the request of a nona who was from the server, and was done so because it was leaking information from a private server. we would have done the same thing if nonas were discussing information from DMs or from other private platforms. this comment was deleted regardless of content and on the principle that trans nonas should be able to post on a private discord that is, again, moderated, and they should be able to do so without worrying that their discussions are going to be dragged into a public forum.
2) frogmod stepping down. frogmod was asked to step down because she reacted aggressively to a nona who made a reasonable request to have a comment deleted. the comment was linked in the deletion thread clearly requesting that it be deleted on the basis of the fact that it was leaking info from a private server, and again had nothing to do with the content of the comment itself. as furby has said elsewhere in this post: It's inappropriate to use mod status as an argument chip and call concerned nonas and idiot, then make cheeky remarks when said nona becomes upset. This is bad mod conduct and not the first instance. For these reasons she was asked to stand down, it had nothing to do with the content of the discussion and everything to do with how she handled herself.
i hope this clarifies a few things. again, if you wish to discuss this please keep it off wiffu because this situation is upsetting for a lot of people and we don't want it to take over the comm.
