Social media is pointless to push when there is nothing happening, there is no news, no hype, no launches, literally nothing. There are announcements we had wanted to post months ago to get action but it was needing dev input and despite promises it was never received.
We understand that we are all volunteers and our personal lives must come first but we can’t neglect our commitment to Shic either.
There has been interference from other project teams, and communication to only part of our team and the rest of us kept out of discussions. That is not a healthy and thriving environment and gives the impression of agendas.
This was posted in Mod chat “One of the problems is that the only people that still do some things for the project outside of discord have a way to not mesh with the way our discord runs. I'm the one that falls between the shore and the ship, now being not able to work with either side.”
The 4 of us have absolutely no context to what this means and despite being asked for clarification, like normal it’s been ignored and avoided.
Who is doing work for Shic outside of Discord because as far as we are aware no one is?
What is wrong with the discord and the way it’s run? What does “have a way to not mesh with the way our discord runs” mean.
It’s now become crystal clear that this is not only pre-meditated but supported and encouraged with backstabbing and gossip with an agenda of MB and 3/4 mods out and them in.
This is a group who actively and purposefully supports well known scammers from other projects who not only have scammed some of our member’s who were also in that community and lost $, but they have also publicly and privately tried to destroy Shic and done all they can to make it happen.
Why are they being allowed to infiltrate Shic and given full support which we’ve all worked so incredibly hard for, yet we can’t get a reply, support and respect, especially when there are private attacks on people.
Back in January there were false narratives and lies told about MB’s absence to try and push forward an agenda by a group wanting control via a DAO and since we stood up and said no things have not been the same.
A DAO supports whales and gives them majority control, that’s not what Shic is about, we are about community and it’s not fair to those who joined this community, invested what they could but don’t have thousands to be a controlling whale.
With a DAO, the more coins you hold the more votes it gives you, instead of every holder big and small having the same voice, those who control most coins then controls whatever new rules they want to enforce. We were even TOLD that the discord server would be owned and run by a DAO bot and every single thing that happened on the server, roles, channels etc would be done by a vote and the bot. That is beyond ridiculous and nothing but power play.
What everyone is forgetting is that someone would have to own, host and control the bot.
Team members should not be met with blatant disrespect and told how things will happen eg “And yes, sorry, you will no longer be the sole queen of a server. It is what it is.”
Yet it’s not about full control?
We are not saying we’ve been perfect and faultless, we’ve all made mistakes but the way things are behind the scenes it is broken and we can’t see a way forward. We can’t work in a space or environment where there is no support, lack of communication and downright sabotage and disrespect.
We know there have been and will be a lot of rumours and false stories after this, we don’t want to get into a slinging match but we will try and answer questions as appropriate in #shic chat. Please keep any comments and discussions civil.
We honestly wish Shic all the best, we hope that there will be people who step up and move Shic forward to what it can truly be.
Thank you for all the support you have shown us, we see you and appreciate you.
MB, Bad, Meddy & Smerbs
