Emoji Reaction Strikes and Moderator Action
I have seen many of the volunteer members of this discord when posting to the #đź“Łannouncements channel be beset by rude responses.
I have seen this in the YouTube, the Facebook, the Twitter - and even more on discord. The moderators and admins here ARE NOT official employees. This IS NOT the official discord. If you want to be upset that the game is not out, bring complaints to the official producers - and not the volunteers who have been already kind enough to:
• Make you a community,
• Share content reveals,
• Upload cross platform,
• Share game data (emojis, images, leaks),
• Settle your disputes,
• And listen to your requests for the server itself...
Completely free of charge as a passion project. I have seen moderator goodbye posts barraged with responses of GLOBAL not even with an ounce of care, consideration, remorse, or appreciation for the volunteers who are making these announcements. Without a hint of reading and knowing who to send their hate towards - they simply send it.
And honestly, I think the community can do better than this as a whole.
Can treat others better than this as a whole.

Those who leave responses like this should not only have their response removed, but get a reminder and poke from mods that this is a fan discord, and that their responses were rude.
@celi 🌸 / @Celo Zaga because of the announcement this morning.
Thank you so much for you post it’s very nice to hear appreciation for what we do :PotaLove:
You're right. For a long time this Discord server was the only real western social media presence Magic Awakened had, and it's still the best and largest one. Many players got used to unloading their frustrations with WB and NE in here. The mods who understand that this is nothing personal are saints, tbh. They deserve better, but this is a gaming community: Rudeness is inevitable. Mods often lose control too, they're only human.
There will be rude people in the world, but through each individual action, and perhaps a few reminders, I think it is possible to set a good example for others đź’ś
As a follow up - There are now 23 middle fingers on the post, when the mods and admins of this discord have no power over the game and are just sharing information people joined to hear more on.
🤦‍♀️
Seriously, people need to 1 read and 2 treat others better.
@celi 🌸 @Celo Zaga wanted to give you a little update again, and say thank you as well for making this server in light of all the disparaging remarks on admin posts.
Thanks for the report, I made the decision to just disable the reactions in the #đź“Łannouncements channel, and soon automatically add thumbs up/down emojis for new posts, some members are simply immature or uneducated and prefer to take out the frustration of having to wait 3 years for the release on us, I don't particularly care about this, but I will take some steps to make the server cleaner and lighter.
It’s not fair for them to take out that frustration on you and others, and I hope the changes do help make the server lighter 💜
I personally love the outfit announcements, and take them to friends instantly so we can see how we’ll dress up our OCs
I'm glad to hear that you liked it, I believe that the everything will better when the game is finally released, i know it's frustrating because I've been waiting here for 3 years :DobbyF: , but I try to do my best.
Thanks again for the feedback, much appreciated.
