	Although the server, outside of a few major incidents, was largely peaceful since mid 2022, there were some major issues, ~~oen~~ of which included a lack of clarity for the rules. Moreover, in recent months, venting became a big issue with several members venting in public, or using venting channels inappropriately. Although stricter rules were introduced with various staff members becoming more active in moderating the server, sentiment for a change in the rules grew among some active members and the staff team. In addition, the debates channel had several issues, leading to many staff members also agreeing with a change in the guidelines regarding that channel.

	In mid-late August, after a series of venting incidents, Card0 decided to open a post in 852r-forum, asking members to give opinions on what the new rules should look like. Prominent members like [[Nijo]], [[Eris]], [[Heison]], [[Nox]], [[Cole Park]] and others contributed, helping shape the new set of rules. Despite this, most of the changes were suggested by fellow Staff members, with many arguing for more clarity and wide-spreading reach to ensure that future incidents would be minimised. One of the most notable changes, suggested by Andi, was the introduction of the "Level V" warning, meant specifically for people who vented inappropriately in the server, in which they would be barred from all venting channels for 2 months. This was done to ensure both that people vented appropriately, while also understanding their situations. A new rule, also suggested by Andi, was introduced to counter backseat moderating, while the rule on intoxication was clarified.

Although stricter rules were introduced with various staff members becoming more active in moderating the server, sentiment for a change in the rules grew among some active members and the staff team.

A Vice & Above text channel, alongside the pre-existing Vice & Above voice channel.

A [[Marketing Council]], created not long after the first sponsorships were created.
