As someone on the Safety Team I want to make it clear that I absolutely, without reservation, agree with Telanir and his decision to end the ‘Safety Team’. I joined the safety team because I am very unknown, unbiased, and have experience with the things the community was suffering from at the time, and probably still does. I came on board to stop predatory actions, sexual harassment, and other dangerous activities that actively harm community members. I never wanted the team to have power, nor was it meant to as Telanir stated. What I envisioned for the team was it being the friendly, open, and honest voice that could reach out to each and everyone of you, as well as being there when you needed someone to reach out to. We weren’t meant to be mods and the mis-characterization, overstepping of our bounds, and lack of any agreed upon document is the reason for the teams failure, not Telanir or any communication. To this day I think the lack of defined rules, channels, and community based definitions are a failure of the rule-system and the staff team. Defining and setting up more effective and personal measures to report violations such as discrimination, doxxing, sexual harassment, and harassment in general in a public setting are still something that will plague the community until it is addressed in one manner or another. The team was supposed to be there as trusted members, figures if you will, that acted professionally towards everyone and could communicate with each other, staff, the respondent, and the claimant. In short, I tried my best but other members on the team wanted far more than just a group of people who cared, wanted to make the difference, and were able to listen to all sides. It’s an issue in the community, staff, and very core. As sad as that is to say. I’ve been here for a while, off and on because of life, but things will change someday, I hope. Just thought I’d put my points in before it got swept under the rug. (PS: To clarify I actively campaigned against Draeris announcing the team, especially on a case that had nothing to do with us while Telanir was away. I do not support his actions nor did I think it was a case that was in the jurisdiction of the Safety Team, but in fact was in the jurisdiction of the Moderator team who should’ve self-policed or had admin support, not us getting involved.)

OOC: I am sorry for the picture and have gotten it revised. I am currently on a mobile phone so I cannot switch it right away. I am sorry for the show of the bears... special areas. *Sends a bird in reply "I am not sure what you mean? Are you coming to the Isles to meet us? I in all have no clue what you are actually writing about. Please explain why you sent this query?"

*The bird reaches Vale as he is working on the headquaters for the now growing guild. He quickly writes a response spilling water and gather dust on the paper from the construction happening around him. "We would gladly accept you in our fine organization. If you are a able builder we will greatly need you! If not we will allow you to become a miner or lumberjack. If you can bring and goods with you to Kalos that would be most pleasing to the guild. Thank you, Vale Genul"

*A bird is sent to every well known city informing the citizens of the rise of a new guild. The letter reads: The Commerce Guild The Nation of Gold Location: Human Isle of Kalos Hello to whomever this may reach. I am the current member entrusted with keeping the Commerce Guild from falling before it has stood. We are currently building a base in the isles and would appreciate help building and with supplies. The Commerce Guild is unique because of a new system that we have developed. Instead of being lead by a single leader who thinks only about himself we think about the owners of the shops. We will help you when you are down and you shall help us when we stumble. We do not believe in racial discrimination and frown upon it in any way. We accept all races here elves, dwarfs, and even orcs if they behave. We do not care about war as we are political neutral and we assure you that the guild will gain power so that we can guard you and your livelihood. We are not here for power and money. Like a chain we will form link by link, shop by shop. Please send me a bird if you are interested in joining
