Reason for server being Dehubbed:
Hullrot was used by Rane and those swept up by his words (including myself, admittedly) to drive forward a harassment campaign against Wizden and it’s founding and contributing members. The server also has a history for being notoriously unmoderated.
Reason the server should be rehubbed:
Good afternoon,
We removed Rane shortly after the dehubbing of EE as they went on to blatantly harrass and target wizards den staff with false claims of pedophilia, we took down their channels and messages in the discord where they had been harrassing wizards den and other people/parties.
Additionally we have brought in new moderators, a new head moderator and new maintainers to keep the server clean and prevent attempts at organising harrassment against other people/parties - this cleanup comes at a staff level, with new word filters, rank structure, and guidelines.
We are willing to work with wizards den to rectify any other issues that exist that may prevent our rehubbing.
Textbook case of a harassment community hurriedly sweeping and covering up the YEARS of its wrongdoings and expecting anybody to buy into the joke that it redeemed itself in a matter of days.
I would give them a year of consistency before even considering a rehub.
While I can see you’re passionate about the topic, there’s nothing to ‘redeem’. Rane strung us all along and I tolerated it with the hopes he’d get some work done on the game. Then it became apparent he had no intentions of doing so and just wanted to use the server as a ‘staging platform’ for smear and harassment campaigns, which neither me or senior Hullrot staff felt very keen about.
This is not a ‘we’re so sorry, take us back’ post, Hullrot does just fine without interacting with the main hub, this is an olive branch. I’m intending to smooth things out and rebuild bridges.
You also mention years of harassment, but Rane had only been Community Manager for a few months, and he didn’t go “let’s make a drama channel and I can bash on Wizden, lol” off the bat. He boiled the frog slow, and when he was done, we were left with wrecked relations to the main project and nothing to show for it. It still makes me angry.
