Hi WCC! Mosspelt here with some updates and reminders.

First, there were several comments on the recent staff survey regarding the special moves indicator being difficult to recognize in the Battle System. Because of this, we have reverted back to the colored text for special moves in order to make them easy to identify. We hope that this change makes it easier for everyone!

Next is a small reminder for everyone. The #help-desk thread on the Discord server and the Help Thread on site are tools for members to use to ask questions about the site and it's systems to Staff. As such, we ask that only Staff members answer these questions, just to be sure that there's no misunderstandings or incorrect information being passed around. We appreciate everyone's efforts to help, and we hope that you all understand why we request this of our members. We will answer your question(s) as soon as we possibly can!

Finally, we have a pretty big announcement. Following a semi-recent conversation on the Discord, Staff has decided that nonbinary characters will be allowed on WCC. Because this is a new allowance, if you have a pre-existing character who you would now like to identify as non-binary, please try to have an in-character basis as to avoid an abrupt change. We have a new symbol to use on the Allegiances for our nonbinary characters (), and we would love to have them represented correctly as soon as possible. Going forward, if you wish for your character to be nonbinary please simply notate it the same you would male or female on your character creation. Please note that intolerance of any kind regarding these changes both IC and OOC will not be tolerated in any capacity. With this change we are also reminding the community that OOC and IC homophobia and transphobia are never okay. Your characters may be curious or even confused, but malice, intolerance, and prejudice have never been allowed. As with all RP topics that are banned on WCC, staff may ask you to edit or take down posts that violate these rules, and you will face appropriate consequences.

As always, if you have any questions please let us know! We'd love to help you navigate any of these changes or additions, and we're happy to answer any questions or concerns you have. You can privately message any member of staff, respond to this post, ask in the #help-desk on Discord, the Help Thread on site, or reach out in the Comments and Suggestions board. We'll get back to you as soon as we can! We hope these changes are helpful and look forward to what they will do for the site and community. We do have some other projects cooking up, which we hope to announce fairly soon after we complete some more testing and modifying, so please be on the lookout!
