Hello.
I and AKM sama just want to give a peaceful reminder that we all need to stop taking out our frustrations about the bad state of the world on other people in this community, whether in the forum, or more commonly Discord chat rooms, because of which lots of productive, helpful and highly valuable members are quitting in frustration.
We are very sorry to see these members leave. We respect their decisions for leaving if they have personal reasons, because we know that the real world is awful right now, but still wish that all who have left or are thinking of leaving out of frustration or other related reasons, would all please reconsider and help make this community improve from its faults, as we think that we have all made a great effort to build something valuable here over the years, despite all of the hard times and drama that have been thrown upon us.
People come here to relax and have fun away from the intense toxicity of the real world, and if all they are met with is more toxicity, they are not exactly encouraged to stay and help out. This place should be somewhere to relax, have fun, and not take too seriously, as the world is under tremendous stress right now, and we all need somewhere safe where we are not nasty and mean to each other, because the situation in the world at large is not looking to get better anytime soon.
As such, we all need to take responsibility to try to be nicer to each other, including in the Discord chats and similar. Basically, please stop acting in ways that make our community members start to resent or even hate each other anywhere that you interact with them, and we should do our best to discourage such behavior from others.
We would also personally suggest that the moderators of Discord chats that mostly have members of this forum do their best to keep the peace there and not allow any considerable toxicity, as other members will not forget as soon as they visit the forum the next time.
The staff as a whole comprises some dozen people, and most of them have consistently made a great effort to do their very best to help this community in many different ways, so the ongoing resentment towards the staff as a whole, as if they are some kind of hivemind, is unwarranted and needs to stop. Just please try to accept that staff members are not remotely perfect, but most of them are trying hard to help, which is all that can be demanded of them.
In addition, the few members (be it regular or staff) that are acting in a repeated toxic and/or confrontational manner need to permanently stop immediately. Now is definitely not the right time at all for instigating any drama and resentment. If you do not comply, the rest of the staff might need to take action in lack of better options.
Also, we have been told that some members are creating content revision threads out of spite or extreme bias, to significantly reduce or increase statistics strictly because the dislike or extremely favour a certain verse, or want some versus thread results removed. This also needs to stop, as it is very damaging for the wiki. We all need to take responsibility to strive for accuracy and reliability, or the entire point of this ongoing project is severely undermined.
That is all. We hope that you will all do your best to stay safe and please take care of yourselves.
