March 2020 scandal

The March 2020 scandal, also named Discordgate 2,, was a scandal that occurred on the Hypothetical Hurricanes Wiki on March 21, 2020. This scandal resulted in six users being blocked (although some appealed eventually), and Hurricane Layten, who was part of the plan, was prohibited from appealing again in the future.

On August 3, 2017, after posting a meme in the wrong channel and ignoring orders by moderators StrawberryMaster (SM) and HurricaneBrick (then Brickcraft1) to stop and move to another channel, Hurricane Layten (Layten) was banned from the Hypothetical Hurricanes Wiki for a year. Prior to this, Layten had been banned four times.The HHW block log for Hurricane Layten After mocking the wiki, the ban was later extended and turned into an indefinite ban.Layten's 2017 ban, briefly explained in StrawberryMaster's point of view This led to Layten creating a grudge against the wiki, including SM in particular and started believing the wiki was corrupt due to two coups in 2017 made by a few HHW administration members with the intention to replace him with CycloneRyne94, a former bureaucrat.
Years later, in March 2020, in the Hypothetical Wikis Administration Headquarters (HWAH), a place for hypothetical wikis' staff teams to discuss things, TornadoGenius (TG) added some members from the staff team of the Hypothetical Cities and Countries Wiki (HCCW), Hurricane Lars1 (Lars), FM Cube (Cube), and BlueStarPort (Port) to the server. They were kicked by SM, the server owner, after he complaints from several HHW administration members about their presence there, and who argued that HWAH should only be a place for users considered trustworthy and not just everyone who was staff on the wikis.
== Aftermath ==
About a month after the incident, in April 2020, a report was released by members of the HWAH server, now called United Servers/Wikis (US/W). The report made several recommendations, most of which were followed by the HHW administration. They included setting the ban expiry dates, which were set as May 21 for SuperDestructiveTwister, August 5 for HypotheticalHurricane, September 21 for Hurricane Lars1, and indefinite for TornadoGenius, FM Cube, and BlueStarPort. Hurricane Layten's existing indefinite ban and Cosmo224's temporary ban were both kept. Jarrell Tornado also had his indefinite ban kept, but the HHW administration did not rule out the chance of a future unblock; no action was taken due to Jarrell's disappearance post-incident.
