The Dogelore Civil War, One Of The Most Imporant Events In The History Of Dogelore.
THE DOGELORE CIVIL WAR ( Late May - Early June, Major events happened on the 17th of June and the 18th of June )
June Conflict, (among loyalists) Fatherland Liberation War, Anti-Zeemist Campaign, June 18th Incident, (among separatists and Zeemists) Second Dogelore War, Dogeneral Square Massacre, Day of Reckoning
The Beginnings
The conflict dates back to late may and early june, when hhh, a friend of zeemgeem got moderation perms for helping developing a few parts of the server.
Emma as well as a few other users, have requested to transfer ownership from kirbizia to zeemgeem.
Her inactivity and doing nothing in terms of actual moderation gave a few good points.
The concept of an ownership transfer steadily gained a lot of traction in the public channels of Dogelore over the course of the week.
On the 17th of june, kirbizia banned zeemgeem and emma with the annoucement. Afterwards on the 18th of june. She resigned as the owner and handed it to hhh.
In the annoucements channel, she stated that she didn't like the position she was in, and that she was an awful owner of Dogelore.
Afterwards she unbanned zeemgeem and emma with the intentions of letting them talk out the things with h. Then left the server.
Sides of the Conflict
Loyalists - Led by hhh, considered to be the ones whom won the war, after it, h remained the owner. And most loyalists retained the power.
ACCUSED OF
Being corrupt and incompetent. Speculations of hhh being an alt account of kirbizia.
Zeemists - Led by zeemgeem, considered to be the ones who lost the war, main leaders banned / demodded, created their own server which now has spiralled into huge unactivity.
ACCUSED OF
members of the zeemist faction have been accused of breaking many integral rules, mass pinging aswell as spamming.
HHH Rumble
In the mod chat h told the mod team that they would transfer ownership to zeem, they gave him a useless role called "owner" but that didn't actually transfer ownership.
when mods started questioning the delay, hhh stayed silent. and didn't respond to any questions.
As time passed tensions built. Many mods began to suspect that hhh never even wanted to hand ownership to zeem and only gave the owner role to calm things down a bit.
Tensions built and the events slowly began to enter the public chats such as dogeneral,
eventually it all resulted to banning of gabe and flat rat. Afterwards, the conflict spiralled into a gigantic mess and the moderation team couldn't control it. The General Chat was in Shock.
As the conflicts escalated. Many chats were bombarded with rule breaks and spam and Mass Protests,
During the protests, ultra pinged everyone with a copypasta posted by gabe that detailed the toxicity of the mods.
Zeem posted many invites to cum city, an Alternative Discord. And soon. He was punished for it, muted and then banned. #dogeneral was quarantined and many users and mods left the server
The Aftermath
Zeemgeem was banned for rulebreaking, just like ultra.
Emma was demodded and Flat rat was remodded, r/dogelore and cum city now exist as separate entities, with cum city becoming unactive and r/dogelore reaching 60 thousand members.
here's a formal statement from the mod team
Let’s get to the point. Zeem & Emma are no more. Whichever side you happened to be on during this ordeal, you need to accept this is the reality. They will not be unbanned, ever. Whether you were for or against them, we all share a common interest - preserving this unique and diverse community. We need to stop dividing each other into groups and engaging in tribalism - it’s pointless. This case was a learning point for all of us. It has happened in the past before as well, and we need to make sure this will never happen again. We will update our moderator team selection & closely watch the server in the upcoming weeks. A true democratization process will begin, and anti-corruption policies will be implemented. Hopefully, this will just be a dark place in the Wacky Dog Fandom’s bright and supportive history. Let the past not divide us. Save the wacky. Save the world.
All that happened was for a reason. Below you will find a simple timeline of the events that led to their permanent removal:
- Zeemgeem was the Head Admin, had every permission except delete server - She and Emma beg for ownership of the server from Kirbizia to the point where they harass her - Kirbizia won't give Zeem ownership, threatens to ban them - Eventually, she is forced to do so - Kirbizia the next day decides the drama, harassment and stress isn't worth it, hands ownership to close friend "hhh" and leaves the server - This close friend is relentlessly harassed by Zeem and Emma, after they were unbanned out of goodwill, for the same reason: that hhh should give Zeem ownership - All hell breaks loose, Zeem & Emma let themselves all out in the mod chat, lack of loyalty to the community and selfishness is confirmed - Taxi creates a poll demanding hhh to resign, only approving votes were from mods and few users, fails - The public poll which was failing is deleted by Bobatealee, trying to save face and violating 24h upkeep time - Mod poll is hosted to eliminate democracy, knowing that nearly all mods oppose hhh - hhh can't take the emotional manipulation and temporarily goes into hiding, holds off on banning or demodding Zeem and Emma - Zeem supporters ban four prominent users from the discord for no reason - This finally prompts hhh to take action - Server falls into anarchy
And remember - it's over. It's all over. As quick as it all happened, it's all over.
There is no need to be afraid anymore. Zeem & Emma won't be coming back. We know what they've done. You all didn't deserve to be hurt by what transpired. Kirbizia didn't deserve it. hhh didn't deserve it. Nobody did. Not even they deserved what happened to them.
As all this fades into the past, change must come. This change will come in the form of a new moderator team, made up of some of the server's very best, loyal and active users who won't let us down.
Many of you believed their lies. You didn't deserve to be cheated on like that. No more lies. No more of that. The new team of moderators will implement several policies, redesigns and techniques to wash away the anarchy and bring back order. Change is coming. Don't fear it.
You were lied to. Some of you were manipulated. Some even emotionally abused. It's not always easy to recognize the snake in a bountiful garden. We have.
Zeem and Emma made their true nature known today in the mod chat. Where all moderators are supposed to be equal, where honesty should've been expected, where innocent people shouldn't have been sent death threats. No more.
Below is an album full of evidence. This is the side you never saw of those you advocated for.
