This doesn't really have to do with my "work", per-say, but it did happen on a rp server.
One time, on this semi-popular discord server, these two guys were having this conversation in the general about some thing they were both reading, (can't recall it right now), and my spidey-sense went off. They had stated that they had conflicting opinions about something that had to do with that topic, (I think it was some ship), and for some reason, even though they were both being civilized about it, and weren't really arguing, something just felt off to me. So told them that they should take the convo to DM's, (mind you, I wasn't staff). Everyone in the channel that saw me say this was confused, and said that there was no reason for them to leave general. But I was like, "I don't know, but you guys should really take your conversation to DM's." And at my continued bugging, they did, and I think they invited like one other person who also happened to read the manga, (but wasn't really saying anything in their convo). I didn't view it as that big of a deal. But then like a week later, one of the owners of the rp DM'd me and told me that she had seen me warn the two guys to take it to DM's, and since I had prevented "the situation" from happening directly on the server, and had been on the server for a good amount of time, she asked me if I wanted to be on the staff. I was like, "What situation???" and learned that they had gotten into a argument over the manga and had dissolved into throwing slurs and unsavory insults at each other.
I had barely even remembered telling them to take it to DM's, and accepted the role of staff. But it really blew my mind.
