AoC is growing up

Hello. Due to the increasing joins recently, AoC will officially provide more "professional" announcements, development blogs, and moderator responses.

What does this mean?
- Our staff team will maintain a strictly professional and mature tone. This applies especially to public, read-only channels such as #┃animal-development , #┃development-blogs , #┃announcements , and #┃minor-announcements .

• With several talented new additions joining our development team, we are going to work faster.

• Welcome @0xpy4 & @𝑅𝒶𝓃𝒹𝑜𝓂𝒜𝓁𝓁𝑜𝓈𝒶𝓊𝓇𝓊𝓈

• We will actively review, listen to, and implement community suggestions and feedback.

• We will keep you informed by setting clear timelines, including specific release dates for upcoming development blogs. (in #┃ping-board )

• To respect your notifications, we are limiting standard pings to a weekly basis instead of daily disruptions.

• Future announcements will feature cleaner formatting and more mature wording for better readability. - this makes us look more mature as a team.

• Our server feedback will be open 24/7. #server-feedback

We are becoming a bigger studio currently, and the current announcement/development format is not exactly professional, or clean.
Rules will now be enforced properly.

AoC will always be a family-friendly place, and so we have banned swearing completely (A word that has been moderated a few times is the word "Damn".
- # Damn historically means to condemn a persons soul - it is a mild swear word but can still be offensive

I hope you can all understand why we are going down this route.
