On the 17th of July, a mini nuke was attempted by users Zarney and Woozy, who were promptly demoted by Pastor. A leaked dm log of Pastor and a 14 year old, which consists of Pastor and the 14 yo discussing the morality of a relationship between them started being shared around, Pastor being 17 at the time the conversation took place. As Pastor claims, this person came into their life after a break up when Pastor was at a vulnerable point, and the conversation was all that ever came out of the relationship. | On the 17th of July, a mini nuke was attempted by users Zarney and Woozy, who were promptly demoted by Pastor.

On July 27, 2022, just before 3 am UTC, Discord Trust & Safety sent a direct message to the moderators of [[Whenthe]], indicating that action may be taken on their accounts for moderating a server that violates Discord's Community Guidelines. This implies that the server had recently been mass-reported. In response, the mod team immediately freaked out and locked every channel on the server. Shortly thereafter, mods completely ''deleted'' all four main channels (#general, #casual, #serious, and #bots). | On July 27, 2022, just before 3 am UTC, Discord Trust & Safety sent a direct message to the moderators of [[Whenthe]], indicating that action may be taken on their accounts for moderating a server that violates Discord's Community Guidelines.

The mod team's response was unsurprisingly very controversial. The action was considered by many to be an extreme overreaction, especially when you consider that the deleted channels had almost 4 years of history, and that a similar scare happened 7 months earlier and the server emerged just fine. However, some defended the action as necessary to protect the server from future incidents like this (the server contained a lot of racial slurs from over the years). | The mod team's response was unsurprisingly very controversial.

Pastor went on to temporarily step down citing that their mental health had taken a major decline, while continuing to argue for their innocence. Very soon after this, the new mods would be announced followed by the threat of the server being deleted by discord once again. All of this obviously prompted what can most accurately be described as a "complete shitstorm", and destabilized the server severely. | Pastor went on to temporarily step down citing that their mental health had taken a major decline, while continuing to argue for their innocence.
