Rumor has it... RCS clans serious about wars wanted changes!
We left off with displeasure with the RCS and drama with banning Hulk. Veryous posted a few questions towards the RCS mods on July 21st simply asking:
Can we no longer post hulks videos?
Can we not insult the mods in anyway?
Where can feedback about a mod/mods be sent without fear of persecution?
These questions were deleted but he received the response saying he should take it up at the next State of the Subreddit (SOTS), which is held the first of the month.

So let's fast forward to the August SOTS, which was posted a day late due to AutoMod fail. People voiced their dissatisfaction in several area, including how the RCS was run and the ban on Hulk. Ben and Sauron were the only mods that made comments on the post. They promised they were working on improving the RCS and apologized how the Hulk situation was handled and promised to be more open about removing posts and reasons why in the future.
Now lets fast forward to the following day where Ben announces the RWCS, a new branch of the RCS for war clans. There is an overwhelming positive response from the community, particularly the RCS war clans. The only negatives seem to be that the RWCS should have happened sooner. As the RWCS was still being put together, some people asked for clarification on a few points but it had good bones and support from the community and the people didn't hate the mods for once! Progress!!
A few of the mods freaked out and the mod Yesiac removed the post. When people began to question why they bothered removing the one good thing the mods had done, she posted this response. Well this didn't sit well with the masses and people began complaining, posting screenshots of leader and mod chats, slinging mud, and censoring the sub.
Ben and Sauron who were the only ones that had bothered to answer questions in the SOTS and were the only mods involved in creating the RWCS (with Red Cloud) were then removed as moderators of the CoC sub. More demands for answers from the moderators.
Fearing more censorship, Ben posted in Xenon's sub trying to summarize the events with similar explanations in a few posts in the CoC sub.
The lack of response from the CoC moderators while continuously deleting posts regarding this drama left many RCS extremely unsatisfied. Ben, Sauron, and Red Cloud and a few RWCS founding leaders decided to go ahead with the release of the RWCS but as a separate system from the RCS. Various numbers were thrown around but ~30 clans left the RCS.
At the same time, the RCS mods scrambled to come up with a solution for the remaining clans.
There wasn't enough popcorn to go around!
