APHartheid Era

The aPHartheid Era (INCORRECTLY STYLIZED AS 'APHartheid' YOU STUPID FUCKING WIKI THE 'A' IS NOT CAPITALIZED) is the era of PHcord spanning from January 7th or 13th to March 11th 2024. The era was characterized by the implementation and consequences of aPHartheid, a PHeudalism-inspired system of government that segregated the server regs (active high levels) from the plebs (everyone else). The system was intended to curb levelflation, but soon become a burden and source of pointless drama to the server. aPHartheid was implemented on January 13th, replacing the previous system of entry into Reg Chat, and later repealed on March 11, bringing the era to an end.
== Actually Important Events ==
The following is partially derived from a textwall from PHistorian Cliff
Now New Year, New Server and January was quite the crazy month. On the 7th two important events would happen: new Reg-exclusive chats would be created, and a swarm of new members. Religious Discussion and Reg-Althists were created and only viewable by server regs, alongside Reg-exclusive Politics, which was taken away from the plebs due to perceived stupidity. The swarm of new members was caused by Josh Sullivan History making a video attacking PH for creating "junk history" YouTube content. In Map Games, a channel inspired by the old nation-rps FA used to do and implemented to clear maps-and-flags of well, map games, a problem had begun to arise: Map-Gamers would level up extremely fast due to their games being extremely active and they'd appear in Reg Chat, despite being relatively unknown outside the Map Games community. This would be called levelflation and spark a discussion on what constituted a Reg. The new system, later dubbed 'aPHartheid' by PHistorians, would be implemented on January 13th, replacing the level 35 requirement and ending PHeudalism. Under this new system, the existing Regs would vote on a person to get accepted into Reg-Chat and given the new Politburo role. However, they must have a majority and there were requirements that had to be followed; that being at least level 25 and having 2 Regs vouch for you. But there was a major issue with this. This would create an elitist type of chat that barely anyone could get into. And due to this, most regs only stayed in Reg Chat, starting a self-fueling cycle of general chat being seen as braindead and Regs not going in there. The chat would quickly be overrun by Jesters.
Speaking of Jesters, a new rule was added that pretty much killed off the Jesters. If you had the role, you'd have 4 days to appeal otherwise you'd be banned without notice. These measures were implemented to curb jesterflation, which resulted in 7 Jesters existing simultaneously at one point. A brief Jester Rights Movement, republic, and attempted revolution were formed, but ultimately went nowhere, with all Jesters either being banned or de-Jestered. Around this time, Merlin, Rolie, and Hope would become mods.
February would be by far and away the most chaotic month of the era. Many high-ranking Regs would either leave the server or be banned during this time. The first would be ThatGuy aka Makhno, who would be banned for mild transphobia on the 9th. Four days later on the 13th PumpUpTheVolume would leave the server for personal reasons, although this is disputed. Also early in the month, Transcended and Merlin began actually dating after 'ironically dating as a joke' for the past few weeks.
=== The Fall of Reg Chat ===
By the middle of the month, the chaos had truly began. Fauxn's rampant doomposting in Reg Chat led to the creation of Zen Zone, a serious mental health chat to vent about problems and such, for her to do it in instead. The chat's existence was a violation of rule 3, and would later be archived due to its toll on the mod team's mental health and failure to stop her from doomposting in Reg Chat. 
Starting on February 19th, all Regs would be subject to increased scrutiny by the mod team. This came after a heated debate in Reg Chat over the new "Slender Rule" that was implemented 3 days prior. In response to complaints regarding Fauxn and She-Notes' (who were dating at the time) obnoxious behavior. The rule allowed for mod action against obnoxious public displays of affection between e-daters. The argument began because Kornelion felt that it viewed online relationships as less valid than real ones, especially because people who had IRL relationships were exempt from this rule. The mods eventually had to briefly lock the chat because of how uncivil it was getting. Rules Regs could no longer get away with breaking minor rules like they could before. On the 28th shit really hit the fan. Amelia said the soft n-word and was deregged, prompting an argument over whether or not it was justified. Korn, Aja, and Oracle were the main people arguing in Amelia's defense. Insults were thrown and things got so messy that Marklin intervened and controversially banned Korn as a message to the Regs that they will not receive special treatment. Makite would then leave the server in protest. Fauxn, one of the most elitist and dickish regs, and a frequent violator of rules 3, 5, and 25, was banned on the 5th, coinciding with the announcement that Reg Chat would be locked every Wednesday. This was intended to force the Regs to go touch grass and interact with the plebs more in an effort to combat the elitism.
However, Reg chat wouldn't even survive to the next Wednesday, as on the 11th, it, alongside Reg Politics, was deleted by direct orders of Possible History himself. Reg Althists was archived and Religious Discussion became a level 15 exclusive chat. 
== Other Events that weren't as Important to the Overall Politics of the Era but still Happened and were Important in their own Regards just not in that Specific Regard ==
In mid-January davicraftlondon established the server's first Minecraft server, which proved to be a hit with the Reg population. Subsequent servers were less popular due to their frequency. Pleb Politics was created on January 23rd in an attempt to bring general chat's IQ back to acceptable levels, which had been dropping since aPHartheid's implementation. The Treaties of LARPagoza, started at the end of the previous era, concluded on January 27th, bringing the PHcord colonization of the world to an end. The Woke Mind Virus™ also saw a spread during this era, with PUTV and Voidess coming out as trans during it around the middle of January and February respectively. On February 2nd, Caudillo brought back MarriageBot, a semi-popular bot that was banned in the Fall of 2023. It started a brief Family Tree Roleplay in Reg Chat, with wars occurring amongst Mocha's daughters and between the Wokes and Anti-Wokes. The bot would be banned again shortly after its return. aPHartheid policies were also implemented in Map Games on March 1st with the segregation of Map Games. In mid-February, Voided oversaw a Forever Active cloning experiment, which resulted in all of said clones being purged (except for one, who was rehabilitated and took up a new identity as Pikabob) after intensive efforts by Void to fight them. Level 15 became a requirement to chat in any Map Game as a combative measure against unbearable LARPers.
