Basically there was some stupid drama after beatnik decided to transfer ownership of the server, which resulted in the doxxing of a mod and a whole lot of regulars being banned. Also people cant enter it anymore because they disabled the bot, so they cant verify people anymore
On a large server I moderate we actually anticipated that there are TONNES of serious security-risks with the powers moderators have in discord servers to vandalise and/or otherwise completely destroy the community. We use a bot we wrote ourselves to track whether any unusual modding activity is occurring both from the modteam and bots in order to make sure a rogue doesn't do any serious damage. In essence, if any unusual activity (too much modding) occurs in a tight timespan it completely removes all powers of that person and sends warning messages to the modchats about it.
There are so many ways this could go wrong on the platform, ranging from a single team member getting their account hacked to team members that go rogue. For some servers you could genuinely destroy an entire server with the powers most mods have.
