    Mod Edit By @Liquid Squirtle

    So, as a primer, this is really not how we should be treating new members here. At all. This level of cannibalization towards her in this case should not be pointed at someone who hasn't actually done a goddamn thing except post a link and show a fair bit of naiveté over Chris conventions that are commonplace to folks who have been around a while or at least got into Chris from different forums.

    Here's the original post in question:

    As you can see, just a link to a Discord. Nothing actually bad or endorsing trolling plans on the Discord, just a place to document streams and more or less be like the Club Discord. However, the thread devolved into screaming like banshees, and girlfriend saga troll accusations really quickly and was embarrassing for almost everyone involved. Even I'm not above this.

    The post was edited to this after the fact:
    Here's the thing, there was no need for this. Just the simple advice of "Hey, we've got our own discord, you might want to check out the rest of our threads before you dive right in. Making friends here is going to be a lot different than on usual forums due to the subject matter but would be easier if you joined some existing threads with folks that seem friendly."

    Instead, this just got stupid real fast. Here's the thing, following and/or trolling Chris in an organized manner has been around for 10 and a half years now. This is unique among lolcows, any that predate Chris are long faded into obscurity and Chris has the most mainstream and Youtube presence of any of them. It's been around so long now that there are folks who haven't gotten into following him from forums talking about him or following a random snarky comment down the Fanta-filled rabbit hole but instead from mainstream Youtubers and outlets. Moreso as the Club gains traction. The CWCki isn't going to document the culture that Kiwi Farms or anywhere cut from the same cloth has built up, nor the non-golden era memes, nor the ever-changing definition of A-Log.

    The point is, we've gotta be more inclusive to new members who haven't followed in from any Chris-centric forums. Point them in the right direction first if they're not overtly breaking any rules. Be nice. Until it's time to not be nice. Giving $1200 to hang out with him at Bronycon is a good reason to not be nice. Giving $1000 for Chris' hand-drawn spank bank is a good reason. Flaunting your ability to talk to and influence him on us following him is a good reason. But other than cases like that, it's not your call. Use the report button and move on.

    I'm leaving this stickied as a wall of shame and hope that anyone else who comes in gets a chance to learn the ropes.

    Okay so apparently the KF and CWCki Club servers just weren't enough.

    Ooh, I didn't know there was other Sonichu/CWC servers :0 I was looking around on twitter for some and couldn't find any.

    Well it's not roleplay-? It's just a server for people to hang out on! :D

    ah yes, totally, 100%


    I didn't know that there were other servers, sorry. ^^;

    What is the point of any CWC chat server?

    A place for weens and amateur autists to scream “JULAYYY” and talk about unrelated garbage like “how was your day?”

    Were the emojis really necessary though? I feel the cutesy banner was unnecessary- I didn't even know there was cwc servers until today so I guess I shouldn't complain because I learned something out of this?

    I wanted to make it catch people's attention, which it did. I just like rainbow stuff since it makes me happy. :3

    Actually we talk about stuff like Chris's tweets, Youtube videos, and keep a look out for any possible Twitch streams. :0
    Everyone in there so far are very chill and nice people from what I can tell.

    Ok, first off I just merged like 6 of your posts. There's absolutely no point to double posting, there's an inline multiquote feature for a reason (the +quote button). Don't do that again, please.

    Second off, between the cutesy intro post, using a full name (I pray that it's not your actual name), being a 18-36 year old boyfriend free girl, and emphasis on cwcville as part of the discord server has my ween senses tingling bigtime. It doesn't seem to be the case in your follow-up posts but given past girlfriend sagas, you can see where I'm coming from, right?

    Third, I haven't looked at the discord since I as a rule don't join servers with no one I know but since we already have the Cwcki Club discord I'm having a hard time seeing the point. Don't get me wrong, it's great if it's active and we can absolutely improve with more invested folks on the club discord (assuming they're as chill as you say) but it seems redundant right now.

    Sorry, I don't really understand how the mechanisms of this website work since I don't ever use forum-based sites. I'll try to figure it out and thank you for telling me.

    I'm not exactly sure what a "ween" is, but the only thing about my name that is true is that my first name is [mod-edit]. The "Viola Kelly" part is just the names of my 2 cats from my childhood. I just liked their named and added onto mine to use online. I used CWCville as the title of my server since it was all I could think of.

    I had read the rules of the website before signing up yesterday and before members told me, I didnt know that there was other Discord servers floating around. I'm apologize if I have caused you or any of the members here any problems.

    Then research it. Look around before joining. Get a feel of the type of userbase this site has. That's what I did, and I fit in like a hand in a glove (or at least my hands do).
    That's bullshit. How could you know about Chris and this website and not know what weens are? Especially considering we're going through a ween plot right fucking now and never shut up about it. It's a bit redundant if you join a CWC forum and you're not familiar with the basic lingo of the community. Perhaps you're feigning ignorance...
    It's literally at the top of the chat page. How can you not miss it.

    I just said I'll figure it out in time, thanks for ignoring that part. I don't want to start an arguement, I just want to join up with other people who are interested in the same things as I am.

    I looked up what a "ween" was and now I understand. There is no need to get mad at me for not knowing what a single term is.

    I saw that tab but I thought it was like a chat built into the website like deviantART. I've only been on the site for 1 day, give me a break. I'm still exploring stuff.

    That's nice and all but it just seemed... Strange I guess but maybe that's just cause I'm a grumpy pussy. It also may be because the format is really out of place with how this site is ( though you're a new member and I can see you're unused to how things are here ).

    But hey you do you ya know? I'd suggest maybe getting more of a feel of how things are here before making a thread and promoting your server though but maybe now I'm saying that too late.

    Gonna be honest here, I'm getting strange, autistic, weeny vibes from you. I don't believe you as an unironic human personality for one fraction of a femto-fucko-second, because I'm reading you like a fucking coloring book.

    2 week old Deviant Art profile, a specific interest on said profile stating that you're a fan of "Sonic and Sonichu", the tryhard naivete demeanor with a bubbly attitude, newbie-style overformatting of a first forum post... female Sonichu avatar with Pichu ears? Really?

    If you're thinking of somehow establishing yourself here so you can become another "saga" to the life of our favorite manchild, I'm going to stop you there right now and give you a clearly detailed warning on why you should not do any of the shit I think you're plotting on doing: https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Weening#Why_you_should_avoid_weening

    If life dealt you lemons on not being famous enough to earn a biographical article on Wikipedia, and instead you settle for a CWCKi article while choosing to leave my warnings unheeded, then welcome to the CWCki Club! I hope you enjoy your stay. I vow to be the first editor to write your article as you eventually spiral down the path of the lolcow. Any actual contact with Chris carries a curse, much like an aggressive flesh-eating STD, and rightfully so.

    Maybe it's all just a ruse to "troll" us. If it is then it's a pretty pathetic one.

    I'm sorry you feel that way about me. I just find everything interesting and wanted to talk to people with similar interests.
    Sorry for trying to communicate with you guys, it seems that I don't fit the standards here by a long shot.
    Also i just like rainbows, why is that a bad thing? It makes me happy.

    i'm not trying to troll, that's dumb. What would i get out of trolling?
