January 2021 mod exodus

On January 25, 2021, 5 mods all left at about the same time.

Mods who left

Reasons are according to Weezor.

Mod	Status	Reason for leaving
CommieDog	On an indefinite break (left with Govern and Vithra on the 25th), unlikely to ever return Was in the server on an alt named "Syzygy", coming online once every couple of months before leaving entirely	Unclear; contributing factors may have been stress over finals and the epilepsy incident
Chupa	Returned January 31 Proceeded to leave again on February 8 Returned February 18 Resigned February 20 Leaves and rejoins for a few minutes to check on the server every month, last joined then leaved June 6, 2021 Banned after a mod vote on July 22, despite not being in the server, for creating drama and being egotistical	Had "a long and retarded argument" between each other in mod chat
Jafi	Returned February 22 Resigned March 4 Rejoined May 22 for the anniversary and left again May 31 Rejoined August 20, currently advisor
Govern	Resigned and left with Vithra January 25	Felt that the server was bad for them mentally and that they didn't fit in
Vithra	Resigned and left January 25

Aftermath

Cereal, Nicoglasses, and Thumper were all temporarily promoted to mod to fix the resulting staff shortage. Cereal and Nicoglasses became permanent mods on January 31. Thumper later became a permanent mod on April 26.

As it is pretty "sus" for 5 mods to all leave simultaneously, this caused some drama and speculation "among" the community.
