There is growing concern from many guilds and people in the community about an incident that occurred on Telegram recently.
During a tournament, a member of the SE community was kicked off the tournament channel of Telegram by another member because of behavior that A1 Caitlyn (the channel/room creator) deemed disruptive and/or inappropriate. This is a bad precedent and a potential slippery slope. If we are at the mercy of the decisions of other members of the SE community and not an official Wulven representative, it is far too easy for personal grudges and general drama to determine who is and isn't allowed to participate in Wulven sponsored events. This needs to be addressed, because if participation in Wulven sponsored events is determined by an individual or one guild, there is danger of that power being misused to the detriment of the greater SE community.
In addition, there is also the issue of telegram having a max cap of 200 people for a certain channel/room. What happens when that cap is reached and more people want to join? The channel/room creator chooses who shall be kicked in order to accommodate others? Not really a good thing nor will it be fair.
We all know that currently the Telegram channels/rooms of SE, the SE Public Chat and SE Tournament Room were created and currently run by A1, particularly their leader Caitlyn0 with the help of her fellow A1 members. I sincerely feel that this is wrong and prone to abuse of power as what has already happened.
It would be acceptable and fair if Telegram is to be continued to be used as a platform for Wulven sponsored events that Gondorian, Kyle, or any official Wulven representative would be the creator of the “official” Telegram rooms for SE making them the “only” people with the authority to kick/ban anyone based on the SE CoC. Perhaps this is also a good reason to return to using IRC for Wulven sponsored events where no one unofficial individual or guild has the power of kicking anyone who wishes to participate or join as well as prevent future kick/bans when the room cap is reached.
