The Dream Logos and Fiction Wiki Discord crisis, otherwise known as The Great Drillimation Discord Mute is an ongoing crisis regarding the business practices of Drillimation Systems. The incident began on the site's Discord server before Driller got fed up with the situation that two days after the crisis began a server-wide mute was issued in order to investigate the situation, effectively preventing any conversations from taking place until the mute ends. Susumu Takajima, the site's owner, stated in a tweet that the mute is not permanent.
History
On December 5, 2019, CoolGamer23, as he has done for the past few months, posted a link to a tweet relating to his video game Chuhou Joutai, which has received partial backlash for marketing in inappropriate places.
After a big argument broke out with CoolGamer23 (Driller) defending himself, Ootwar tipped off about his behavior to the official FANDOM/Gamepedia Discord server, where some of the staff members criticized his actions, but didn't do much before Ootwar eventually went further into it in a report filed to the staff through their Zendesk.
BoycottDriller movement
On December 7, 2019, Ootwar and Mr21stCenturySamInc started up a hashtag #BoycottDriller as a response to his actions. As a response, he first created a new channel on the Discord server, #advertisements, to combat any further backlash. However, soon afterwards, Driller threathened to file reports about the members of the #BoycottDriller movement to the Discord's trust & Safety team and then Wikia's Staff, until he was quickly silenced by Ootwar's report that he sent to the staff himself shortly before.
A cornerstone to the major flood of users entering the server was a video posted by Chrissy on the same day, featuring GuitarKid as well as Natebross, discussing Driller's problematic behavior in the same style as most commentary videos.
