Formal Day

Description
Formal Day, as the name suggests, is a 1-day event in which everyone must chat formally. It is "a unique occasion to practice your formalities and an excellent (not to mention entertaining) way to socialize with your friends. The fools who reject this delightful occasion shall be jeered at and thrown into the peasant dungeon."

Rules

 * Everyone must abide to the rules of formal grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
 * Using slang terms, acronyms and abbreviations such as "lol" "oof" "wow" is prohibited.
 * Moderation bots can be set to delete these words, and give warnings to those who type it.
 * A channel is renamed to "peasant dungeon."

Surprisingly, several people genuinely enjoy Formal Day and look forward to it. Some claim to hate the event, but it may be them exaggerating for the sake of playing the peasant role.

Reception
Members get very divided on Formal Day. The majority accept the conditions and partake in formal discussions, praising each other's rich vocabulary and eloquence. Some initiate sophisticated discussions or compose verbose poems. Meanwhile, a few people reject the rules and purposely act as informal as possible. They spam abbreviations, slang, deny punctuation and butcher grammar.

There is always tension between the latter, who are referred to as "peasants, fools, hooligans" or other derogatory terms, and the noble people, who call themselves "gentlemen, fellows, chaps, comrades." Escalations occur when the Peasants continue their crude and ill-mannered commmotion, protesting when the bots suppress and warn them, while the Formal Folk demand for them to be thrown into the peasant dungeon and jeer at them.

In one particularly violent Formal Day, the Formal Folk would chant for the insolent peasants to be crucified, burnt at the stake, sent to ditches.

History
The 17th of November, 2019, SPY grew particularly frustrated by the lack of meaningful conversation in the server, and by the abundance of pointless terms such as lol and lmao. This is the first instance of Formal Day, but it was originally called No-Lol and No-Lmao week, and lasted an entire week. Only these words and their variations were banned.

The second event took place on the server's 1 year anniversary, on April 1st, 2020. This time it was called Formal Chatting, with almost exactly the same rules as modern Formal Day, but it wasn't compulsory.

The first real Formal Day was on the 23rd of September 2020, and set to repeat every month.
