> [@Lyya](#): > > Wasn’t a thread just like this locked yesterday by @Nex Yep, it was the OFFICIAL Birch Guild recruitment thread. A member of another guild took it upon himself to post offensive things in the Birch Guild. This thread has been started by a different guild pretending to be Birch, to post silly things. ---

I see. That seems a bit immature to me, and not at all in the spirit of a “recruitment” thread – more like petty sniping. Perhaps this is better served in private discourse than with a public attempt at shaming. Flagging as a “call-out” post, which is a violation of forum rules. ---

Yeah, I shut down a different Birch Team thread yesterday because it devolved into a petty argument between two people. This thread is currently peaceful, but it’s also entirely unnecessary and doesn’t serve any purpose beyond its potential to start drama. Sorry @UKresistance. I’m sure you had good intentions, but I’m locking this thread in the interest of avoiding further Birch Team drama. ---
