To be a "beta tester", you had to request to be in the beta test. Not being a beta tester is not a big deal anyway, since the server is always evolving. The beta test period only lasted 2 days anyway and was essentially just a test to make sure permissions etc. worked correctly. I did this because I never had made a Discord server before and was unfamiliar with how it worked. If you'd asked, you would absolutely have been a beta tester.
 * Take out numbered channels. Being a user who's VIP on other major servers, I can assure you that they're an eyesore. However, based on the amount of comments to do this (and the lack of willingness for the founder to comply with the community), I'm sure that this won't be changed.
 * Take out any channels and roles not related to CCS. Everything seems to be under control here for now. Any other channels shall be voted by the community.
 * And my biggest thing bothering me, revamp current ALL roles on the server. I seemed to have been conveniently left out of the beta-testing phase, even though I have done nothing wrong and it was made pretty clearly that I had a Discord account. As the primary mainspace editor back in the day (now it's Cheekian - I bow to you with all the work you've done), I wonder why I was left out of this.
 * 1) The wiki and the discord should not be "separate," aside from the fact that some rules regarding profanity/off-topic convo be loosened. I don't appreciate this two-hierarchy business, especially when it's one wiki. That means:
 * 2) All wiki administrators/bureaucrats should have full access to the server if their account is on Discord. Admins should be promoted to "admin" and Bureaucrat be promoted to "bureaucrat," as logic dictates. This should include showing any "hidden" channels and the ability to ban/silence users. Being an admin and but locked out of half the community creates that "exclusive club" vibe. There is absolutely no reason to hide anything from them since the wiki administrators are the ones that keep the place running, and they have the right to know what happens in the community first if they'd like... whether that's on the wiki or on Discord.
 * 3) Any non-wiki administrator+ be renamed "trusted user" or "moderator." These users should still get all full rights to the server since obviously they won't break any rules. For sake of balance, if they are active on the wiki, be promoted at least to rollback or discussions moderator. Obviously, they won't do any harm. As a note, this isn't a "demotion" or "promotion" by any means, just a rename in roles to integrate the two places.
 * 4) Any current trusted members and other long-term members to be considered for a higher position more frequently, perhaps once a week?
 * The banned user that sparked this thread should be fully pardoned, and it should be up to him whether or not to rejoin the server.

Also, what people don't seem to realise is that that certain user was NOT banned for vengeance on day 1. In fact, we all decided to give that user a clean sheet, and pretend as if none of the crap on the 1st server ever happened. It's just, he didn't learn a thing and just immediately started being a bully again, and got banned quickly by virtue of getting 3 strikes.

Also, said user could be back on the server. He just never asked to be.

The other points will be taken into consideration.
