I've often wondered what that even means. Is it topics in chat like politics or religion? Complaints about others not doing their part?

Oh Wise One
I think any or all of those plus more
In my original FS, which was a great fs in many ways, this happened
Myself and two others were joking around in chat ( names mostly changed to protect the fact that i forgot them)
We were talking about giving all the members "royal" names
It was like
Bob "well of course you are king muck"
harvey " you know Sexy Granny would have to be Duchess SG"
*just then i notice 'crazy soggy' buffed my MH*
Me " and here comes Princess Soggy"
well "soggy" storms into chat saying, "Don't talk about me you don't know me yada yada yada omfg"
after that she was const6ant tension
so the gist is
a lot of the drama is just stupid crap
btw
I joined my current fs in January or February and have seen Zero drama, and we don't even have to make rules about it

I need to talk to inno and see if I can change my name to Princess Soggy.
Our FS made one little half rule about controversial subjects, and it was "Nothing is off limits until someone complains"
Since then we've talked politics, religion, sex, drugs and pretty much everything else without a single player getting butthurt. Kinda surprising when dealing with 20 random people on the internet.
Edit: we came close to drama one time-- Our wonder program records everyone's KP donations in a spreadsheet so that each players gets out what they put in, and a player upgraded theirs before we had a chance to record despite being told specifically to wait a minute so we can write it down.
So we asked everyone to send us a message saying they understand the system.
It was unfortunate timing as we just added a couple new players that day and it looked like we were real hardcases. iirc one of them left pretty much right then. Also I think they didn't like that we post everyones # of visits for all to see.

My fellowship has NEVER had any drama, I have 2 slots to be filled I'm in Wyandor

They probably weren't worth your trouble anyway.
The thing about posting # of visits is making sure you get it right.
I've seen places where I visited every day, but somehow was counted for five.

Yeah we have 4 counters per world, 2 obvious ones and 2 secret. It would be nice if the game tracked it for us instead.

My dad just got out of an awful fellowship experience on the SA world...
Ever-changing rules & always adding additional 'conditions' like "no more than 4 cross tier trades at a time", then being told "you have until tomorrow morning to remove 8 of your 12 cross tier trades", which suddenly a mere 1 hour later "you haven't removed your cross tiers - you're getting demoted to Fellow now!"
And other such nonsense... ("you need to upgrade your steel factories because we kicked out too many steel players a month ago - oh, and post more steel trades for the rest of us!")
Honestly Soggy, I wish I could join your fellowship on Khelonaar world, but I don't even begin to qualify yet!
Your fellowship sounds like a real blast!

We're more interested in activity and participation, a low score is temporary.Honestly Soggy, I wish I could join your fellowship on Khelonaar world, but I don't even begin to qualify yet!

If you're up to doing daily visits, and some of the tournament, we'd be glad to have you

Sweet!
However, would it be okay if I stick around to help out my current fellowship with this week's tournament?
I do have marble/silk/gems boosted, and I'm likely going to ignore the event after the Vallorian Valor is over with, so (hopefully) I can focus more on over-hauling my city back into production mode vs. event mode.
I typically visit 6-7 times/week, with the occasional need to skip a day every couple of weeks to 'reset' my visit timer so it's not at some horrible time. (like at elevensies... or lunchin... or afternoon tea... or dinner - or supper! )

You'd be surprised at how much drama is out there. And people especially seem to love to focus it all into the internet world until it's got a finely honed edge. My first Archmage specifically created a drama free fellowship due to all the crap his former fellowship put him through. Drama is real, folks. It's here, it's everywhere, and for those who have run into a pile of it, a fellowship with the promise of a drama-free zone is mighty welcome.

Life is too short to put up with drama like that, especially in a game that should be a way to relax and have fun. The minute any sign of drama rears it's ugly head, I'm on top of it. Had enough of that in the first FS. I won't put up with it in my FS.

Sounds like the people involved are unclear on the concept that this is what you are doing with your extra time for enjoyment...

what do you mean by ''delete tiers?"

Ya, I'm sitting here chuckling to myself, "what drama?" - some of us have experienced it in this game - me, in 3 fellowships until I made my own FS. First was, a "clique" was gossiping about me and made up stories, and "accidentally" emailed me instead of the AM with their report about me. My crime? One that didn't even exist, saying that I was playing my husband's account. What my real crime was, that they didn't mention? Passing every one of them in score.
Next FS, the drama that came out of the introduction of the Orc chapter, and boycotting the game. I personally thought the boycott was silly and did not support or participate.
Next FS, a political debate (I stayed out of!), led by someone that was transgender, complaining about how she was treated. It offended many people who threatened to quit.
I said forget all this nonsense, I'm starting my own FS and asking for drama free chat. I've seen many players quit, or get booted out, over these things.

What program is this and is it easy to use? Or is this some super secret hush-hush-say-no-more thing?
The issue of posting visits came up in one of my fellowships. Some viewed it as a shame list rather than an encouragement tool.
Another fellowship took issue with our boosts spreadsheet which happened to include score updates. The mostly-absent archmage made a rare appearance to object to the scores being listed (despite it being a requested feature by a number of members) and that actually led to a rift in the guild between the active and casual players.
