Middle Finger Ban Wave

The Middle Finger Ban Wave occured on Thursday, April 8th and Friday, April 9th 2021.

Lead Developer and Owner Sprinted, made a post into the Discord's update log channel, claiming the update was going to be delayed due to Wi-Fi issues. Some people became... very mad and spammed the message with the reaction of the middle finger emote.

Lead Administrator hourlyglass sent a message in general chat, pinging everybody and telling anybody that had the middle finger reaction on the message would have consequences. They said people had 1 hour to remove them. They then proceeded to put this in announcements.

13 minutes later, Head Moderator Furrsty messaged in announcements, claiming the punishment was a permanent ban, saying that the server did not tolerate the treatment they were giving Sprinted. They said that he was working very hard, all day, all week and that they deserved a break.

Moderator Bobby agreed with Furrsty.

People began to remove their reactions, though some people didn't. One hour after the initial warning was established, 68 people were banned for having the reaction up.
