			== Discord BANS popular server due to flagging VIOLIN SHEET MUSIC as inappropriate ==

			I stumbled upon a topic that I believe may be good to have mentioned somewhere in this article or a related article as an incident.

			There is this individual named Sal who ran the Dead Malls of Discord (abbreviated as DMOD), a Discord server about dead malls (and retail as a whole). Sometime over the last few days, the server was wiped from the platform. Sal states in a recent post that in spite of trying to open support tickets and appeals, he was unable to do anything to bring back the Dead Malls of Discord server. The support tickets, sal says, were all auto-closed with canned bot responses. https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugkx1-dA22XF0lFsOhccqigU1FgUSV0IINcC

			While Dead Malls of Discord was certainly not the largest server out there, it was widely known across the retail community as a resource to talk to people and collaborate on anything dead malls related.

			Sal says that the flag was due to a photo he posted in the server of sheet music displaying various musical notes for the Bach Double Violin Concerto.

			For what it's worth, Sal is looking into Osmium Chat, an up-and-coming Discord alternative, to bring DMOD back into focus.

			This doesn't fix what happened on Discord, however, and it seems to just re-emphasize how dangerous and arguably-stupid it is to have AI bots decide the fate of things. An entire community was wiped out in the blink of an eye with no apparent sign of return except to rebuild somewhere else. Even with Sal's popularity in the retail community with over five hundred thousand YouTube subscribers, it could take years to build back up to anything even remotely close to what the server was previously.
