That might be better posted on github. Sure. Thank you very much.

Were the various species teams consulted about how their species affects their education and the like? I can already see the various subspecies of Tajara being affected, not to mention IPC datapacks and the intense education that skrell have, as well as the bloodsucking/knowledge gaining of dionae.

Trial passed. Congratulations!

Hello, apologies for the delay. This IR is being binned due to the anomaly consequences not being deemed as canon.

Because if you have been temporarily banned, you must have been spoken to a lot about something and failed to heed the warnings of staff members at the time. Its common sense, honestly. No one from that era is around, and we're not going to trudge through the many, many, many years of logs to attempt to find which one is yours. If you wish to be a head of staff, you must reapply. Locking and archiving.

Head of Staff whitelists are stripped automatically by the system upon receiving any sort of ban. If you wish to be head of staff again, you must reapply. Also, we are not handling a complaint six years after the actions have happened.

This honestly sounds like a bug, as you used to be able to only succumb at <20% BA or thereabouts. If this is true, I strongly encourage you to make a bug report. Otherwise, keep this thread a tame and healthy discussion please, everyone.

On trial: 03/03/2026 - 03/04/2026

If there are no more concerns regarding this staff complaint, we will close it in 24 hours. If there are, please post here. Also, this was not a joke. Please come into my DMs, or any other moderator or administrator with your evidence, if this ever, ever happens. Aurora should be a safe space.

Originally, it was going to be @Owen and myself handling this post, but since it is withdrawn, well, we still want to post. First and foremost: Aurora does not tolerate transphobia or discrimination of any kind. Aurora also does not tolerate accusations of transphobia or accusations of discrimination, without evidence, of any kind. Such accusations have real life ramifications on people when accused in real life and, in my opinion, should not fly. We completely understand why some people are hurt from this, and feeling betrayed, and we are sorry that staff reacted how they did. More on that below. In future, I have some tips for everyone. To our players: If something ever, ever feels off, please, please report it. Even if it turns into a big misunderstanding, we will never judge or punish you for reporting. To the moderator and administration team: We will continue treating these cases seriously, and when evidence is brought forward from all parties, we take action. We will no longer be accusatory in our own right. We as a staff team have learned from this, both on how to handle situations such as this, and how to handle ourselves in future. Owen and myself have worked together to create a post for the moderator chat which will hopefully see some improvement from us in future, and hopefully create less hostility when it comes to all complaints, not just this particular case. If people are entering other peoples DMs to create hostility, we encourage people who have received such hostility to come forward with their evidence and myself and Owen will take a look at this. At the end of the day, we are volunteers. All work we do for this server, as with any staff member, is volunteer work. We are human, we have emotions, as anyone else on this server does. No one deserves to be blasted in DMs by someone.

Accepted. Thank you for taking the time to rewrite this.

But what about pronouns? Did you discuss that with them over PDA or talk ICly?

Did you talk to the character ICly about this and explain your reasoning? Did you perhaps explain what Guwan meant to them via a PDA message or the like?
