Removal of the Reddit Discord
I'm writing this as a form of formality and documentation on the removal of the fairy tail reddit discord from the fairy tail wiki. Based on recent events, We are now ending our affiliation with the Fairy Tail reddit discord due to events brought up by User:Miskos3 as quoted below.
"Hello, so there has been a bit of, um, situation with the whole affiliation thing to the FT reddit and their discord. Basically, Michelle became a moderator in that discord, but ended up being constantly bullied by the rest of their staff and/or other people. Because of that, she decided to leave that server. Since as far as I'm concerned, I considered her as sort of a FT wiki representative in this whole affiliation thing, and in any kind of partnership, it looks quite bad to treat a person you're dealing with in such a manner."
When the idea of implementing the reddit discord in the fairy tail wiki was proposed by User:AstonishingSpiderMan, they've mentioned these "Ultimately like I said, I want to unite discord, reddit, and the ft wikia together where the fandom could coexist and prosper and thrive with our love for Fairy Tail."
We believe that the discord staffs and members bullying someone from the fairy tail wiki side does not fit with what was promised to us by User:AstonishingSpiderMan. This kind of treatment does not support the idea of "unity between reddit, discord and coexistence" As admins we have taken an executive decision to terminate the said partnership. LightningGeist

A shame that this happened, any word from AstonishingSpiderMan about this?

None so far, but given that the people from the fairy tail wiki are already in the minority within the discord its very likely that the majority of users will stick with their fellow reddit discord members. Bullying a moderator to the point of them leaving the discord server already means that bullying is agreed upon by a lot of users and such thing were allowed to happen by the rest of the discord. Even if the bullying was denounced by User:AstonishingSpiderMan it doesn't change the fact that such thing happened, and it's very unlikely that they can force the discord members to change their ways either.
So it's really unfortunate that the situation led to this and promoting a place where such bullying happens is not what we were hoping to accomplish in the said partnership and it is definitely not the place where we would encourage the young and new fans of the series visiting the wiki to be exposed to.

Michelle is lying, I have done nothing but treat everyone with respect. She has admitted to accusing mods of hating her but subsequently admitted to them doing a fair job of moderating. She even made up with a mod she accused of hating her. Additionally, she even stepped down from the server when she was mod because of reasons I did not agree with. Ultimately, I am saddened that this has even happened. We all worked hard to make this partnership happen, I have even been working on incentivicizing users (via gift cards, or other rewards) to edit and help in the wikia but if you wish to remove the affiliation then I respect the decision. I disagree vehemently but it is not my decision to make. I am honestly tired of this from her, she has an issue she then threatens to get the affiliation to be removed, she has to have her way, and it's frustrating. I have been respectful, I have tried doing something for the entire community but I will not be held hostage by her. I worked something out with you. Uncool is still there and still comments and interacts, Davjac who she considers a close friend doesn't agree with the accusation either. The records are there, she wasn't mistreated, she didn't like that there was a change implemented so she cried foul. - Spider-Man AstonishingSpiderMan (talk) 23:57, June 6, 2020 (UTC)
