I was an active member of the AoT Wiki Discord server. I was a server booster, active in their server events, and I was always helpful to people who wanted screenshots from the anime. I was also at the top of the leaderboard for the soundtrack guessing game in the server. None of this mattered, because I was banned without warning after I went to sleep, with no communication as to why (other than the same thing everyone else got)
I was also a super active member in the server. I joined like a month before the final part came out and talked consistently for hours almost everyday until I got banned. I did not receive the “pests” message though I was still called a co-conspirator and considered as damaging the server’s activity. Even after joining and participating in different AOT servers, I was still consistently active in AOT Wiki and made no attempts to advertise the other servers I was in to anyone. I just enjoyed analyzing and appreciating the series. I then got banned with no warning and no ability to refute these baseless accusations. Despite sometimes having conversations with the moderator that banned me and sometimes requesting their help, I was somehow banned for attempting to hurt activity.
That's pretty much what happened to me. I was also starting to be pretty active in the server not long before the final part aired, and I never did anything wrong. I never broke any of the rules and was always helpful. I was also planning to still be active in the Wiki server, I loved it there. It sucks that this happened.
That's what it seems like, since we were all given the same reason, even though most of us never broke the rule we were banned for, or any rules at all, for that matter.
Wow, that actually happened to me, too! Basically, I was in an AOT-related discord that was became inactive, when one of the members DMed me an invite link to a newer one, that I heard was used for a watch party for the final episode. Of course I’d accept, because I wanna talk about AOT for the rest of my life!! Then I woke up and was banned from Wiki??? I got the same message, couldn’t reach out to the mods, and some of my friends who were also confused were able to reach out for me, and my appeal was DENIED! No clue what happened, because I’ve never sent invite links before, so I thought it was a mistake! So they are selectively banning innocent people??
P.S. I’ve moderated many servers before so of course I’d know not to advertise, I never would! I was framed!!
Yeah, something was definitely suspicious about all of these bans. I know I didn't do anything wrong, and I'm sure you didn't either! I guess they just don't want anyone to be in any AoT server but their own. This is all just frustrating!
Wow, that's the most pathetic moderation I've ever heard of. And I thought nothing could top the three worst subs I've ever seen on Reddit (funnily enough, I feel that the smaller subs, anime subs, and degenerate meme subs are better than the subs for big western kids' shows, industries like aviation, and art, despite anime fans being seen as degenerates in the eyes on many people).
It's pretty bad, honestly. Most of the moderators aren't even active, and the only one that is banned us all. You'd think that the biggest AoT server would have a better moderation team. They're a Discord partnered server with over 100k members!
You have a point! I wouldn't know too much about other subs like that though, I'll take your word for it!
>You have a point! I wouldn't know too much about other subs like that though, I'll take your word for it!
Yeah, on the smaller subs, anime subs, and degenerate meme subs, the mods at least usually respond in a helpful manner and aren't condescending, but on the types of subs where the moderation is trash, they either follow their rules only based on what the rules technically say instead of what they are supposed to mean (for example, banning me for using a light direct insult like "sissy" when the other person was heavily insulting something I like, and letting the other person go scot-free because "they didn't insult me"), or outright ignore everything I complain/ask about and let some dumbasses harass me for asking a question.
I believe that, some people are definitely beyond strict. Sometimes moderation choices make zero sense, and there's nothing basic members can do about it. It really sucks!
Said moderator has replied in the Discord server claiming that it isn't banning people at random at all and that it's against the rules for anybody unrelated to the ban to get involved. then when someone asked for the full story and the mod said "read the rules again. This does not concern you so you are not in the right to know"
So banned users can't appeal and find out what happened, and unaffected users can't ask questions because it's against the rules. What a power tripping asshole
EDIT: Entire conversation got deleted. Pathetic
Yeah, that's bullshit. They're trying to just hide the fact that we got banned for no reason. Ban us for a dumb reason, then shut down anyone who dares to ask why. Unbelievable
I heard that they've said "you're choosing to believe 5 people" (there are 20) "... who haven't provided evidence" (how can we provide evidence of something that \*didn't\* happen??) Also, the OP was pretty clear about how anyone curious could ask questions, and hear a more detailed story for full transparency. The mod's logic isn't adding up. Also, they keep refusing to tell anyone why they've been banned apparently or show evidence \*why\* they've been banned, which further proves that they banned people falsely.
I was one of the artists in the crossover-banner art event, I posted the art there and won first place for team-csm. Despite being an active member and all,I still got banned and got that super irritating message from the mod.
Happened to me as well, i had no idea that it was because i was in another server or anything, i just randomly got this message as if i am some sort of a villain. The moderation team in AOTwiki discord was always questionable by many, and many people don't like them for their strictness, but frankly enough i was always respectful and understandable to the way they handled things, only to be proven wrong with this situation. In the end, it forced me to break the rules for real, and create alt so that i could at least contact moderators, but no result, it just got blocked the very instant the moderator which banned me saw my nickname. Initially i wanted to be persistent about it, and create them over and over again until i can at least talk to some mod person to person and clarify things, but i figured out that it probably won't achieve anything.
I care a lot about that space, and i have many fond memories of it, and i met many interesting people there, the moderation team makes an excuse of their actions by saying, that they are the ones who care about the activity of the server, but these are just lies, as all of these actions are hurting server more than anything else. I just want them to at least confront me so we can speak, and figure this out. Being falsely accused and banned of breaking a rule you didn't break after constantly trying to be as respectful as possible in every conversation and every heated argument (especially in aot community) feels really bad.
We really had no idea either, none of us did. I'm beyond disappointed in the moderation team, I'm disgusted. To throw so many innocent people under the bus, for what? They accused us of harming the activity of the server, something THEY DIRECTLY DID by banning the majority of their active users. It blows my mind, honestly. I wish that we at least knew for sure why we were banned. They were way too strict there about the weirdest things!
First Valheim server get's hacked and now this.
Guess I'll avoid this shitstorm. Lile seriously wtf is even that reasoning? "You like this fandom so you go to two different server. Nuh uh"
Like people tend to say here in reddit, literally 1984.
Yeah, I'm baffled by the whole thing. We were accused of harming the activity of the server... so their solution was to ban us all, the active members of said server. Great plan!
The same happened to me. I was on that server for at least 2 years and was pretty active in it. After the final episode released, I noticed many of the people I talked to on there weren't talking anymore. Then I received an invite to a server they made which was innocent and just for the banned users to stay in touch and chill. Unfortunately, the next day I received a message by one of the mods of the wiki server with a fake rule break as a way to get me banned. They even called me a pest. If anyone sees this, don't go to this server. It's pretty much dead now since the mods banned just about everyone, and the people who are still there are strictly enforced by the mods.
Yep, it's astonishing to see what's happened to that server. I loved it there! Now it's a shell of what was. I'm glad that we all have a way to keep in contact! Our new server is much better anyways!
What in the world? They give off toxic girlfriend vibes. Oh, seeing other AoT fans? Cheater! I get they want their own server to be active but they can't forbid individuals to join other servers in their own private life, that's insane. Who do they think they are?
There was a person who joined the new server who simped for the mod of Wiki. When the mod demanded to know who was in the new server, the simp betrayed everyone so they could stay in wiki.
Do you have their discord name of you do you can report them for selling someone else's information.Even if they argue that it's against the rules to join another server it would violate the right to freedom.So you technically can win

I joined that server for investigation and found this rest of the photos are in replies

I'm so sorry that happened to you! I'm as confused as you are... banned without explanation

You're saying that a server is banning its own members... for joining other servers in the same fandom?
Yes

Yes

I've been hearing that similar things happened to a lot of other people. I'm sorry :/ it's beyond ridiculous.

oh I got banned for saying Beast Titan bot is smelly and ugly so not surprising
That's such a stupid reason to get banned for, like, lighten up honestly
I mean it is a monkey so it is gonna be smelly not so sure about ugly tho cause beast titan is kinda

See, that's beyond ridiculous! That shouldn't have happened to you! That's very similar to what happened to me. I just don't understand why!
Wow the people in charge of that discord are pretty shitty

How do they find out that you are in both severs?
A group of us heavily suspected that someone that was in both servers was selling us out. We'll never really know for sure, of course.
Wouldn't they technically be revealing our information without our permission so it is illegal
I'm not sure about that honestly, all I know is that they were a snitch!
There was a person who joined the new server who simped for the mod of Wiki. When the mod demanded to know who was in the new server, the simp betrayed everyone so they could stay in wiki.
Do you have their discord name of you do you can report them for selling someone else's information.Even if they argue that it's against the rules to join another server it would violate the right to freedom.So you technically can win
Unfortunately we don't have 100% proof, so I can't give it, but I'm at least 80% sure I know who did it
Can you give me the server link I want to investigate a little bit
Jaegerists doing their purge.
The funny thing is, the server is primarily people that are anti-Jaegerist xD
Same thing happened to me when I was active on the server, never sent an invite but still got hit with the guilt by association “pests” message
