Pruned Discord & Forum

Good Morning, tossed a bunch of inactive and alt accounts from the discord and demoted a bunch of rookie accounts. Something to the tune of 100+ over the last 120 days.

Why? Our time is precious as I get older I along with our support staff are not college kids or 20 somethings or teenagers. We all have lives and responsibilities, we simply do not have the time and energy to pour into fruitless endeavors. This is a community and as such it should be treated.........as....such!...

Moving forward the barrier for entry is going to be for lack of a better word "More Difficult". Once upon a time the forum was closed and in order to join you had to fill out a lengthy application and have an account created for you. Another time you where required to make 15 non spam posts in order to be promoted. Now you simply need to show up and copy and paste. And even something as simple as copy and paste has failed time and time again.

So moving forward the Application will remain, however all accounts will be audited by someone from Staff or Support staff. Any flags will be noted and action (removal/banning/authentication/etc) will be taken as necessary.

Lastly ALTS that decide to create forum accounts under the guise of secrecy. MUST LET A STAFF MEMBER know. Failure to do so will result in loss of discord and forum privileges.

I am tired of having our time wasted if you want to join The OCW Community Great. If you want to be an observer, great just observe outside. If you want to be a fan/friend then some semblance of participation is required if that is too much, then do not apply for said Fan/Friend status.

Thank you for listening to my tedtalk.
