anonrerising

Anon I think you meant to reply to (you said the one below the one you replied to, and I posted that)

That is why I said that the original issue with the slurs etc.. wasn't that important to me, since things can get out of hand. I will say that theoretically, you should try to get people who have different enough schedules to make sure there isn't a huge gap of time when no one is going to be online.

That said, again, it is better in theory than practice, since you need to trust the people, and you can't always guarantee that you will have enough people from different time zones/with different schedules to fill those roles.

But again, as I said in the other post, to me, the issue is around the auction issue, and not with the slur thing, because that was taken care of. The auction thing, as I have said before, just went over the top, on a public (I assume that it is public, I don't use discord, but can't you make a server 'private' where you can only join by invite? I know other places used to have things like that) server. Venting of that sort should have been in 'private' where it can be guaranteed that everyone being vented to is on the same page.

It also concerned me because what happened is exactly something I would have done, and I am sure there are plenty other people who would have done the same things, especially on an auction where no one else bid. To see someone saying the things I saw in the screenshots (even if there were 'jokes' in between and other things) about something that I feel is pretty common behavior for many people, just made me want to go 'ughh'.

I will say it did make me change my mind about all the 'give us an auction mechanic!' suggestions, so there is that :P

I like the bundle option better. It's more fun to open five items than one, and it feels like getting more.

3/3 out of the white exchange students I've met here have been insanely obsessed with local English standards, commenting things like "Okok fix the english plz" on perfectly understandable reports.

Also ironic when they're the ones that submit typo-riddled work. The white girl interning here got chewed out for uploading to the company IG without permission, especial;y when her sentenced loook like dis. Someone needs to learn to proofread her own work before editing and criticising our email templates.

Colonizers real mad that they don't own this country anymore I guess.

i’ve noticed that every drama or shitstirring user that’s been up my ass has been locked

for reasons unrelated to me of course!! its just a pattern i’ve noticed and it’s hilarious tbh

Yeaaaaah, kinda meant to reply to the one below this. I'm not the best when using this site lmao. ( I can hardly even navigate it )

Anyways, the new server ( FR, not taxidermy ) does have mods in different timezones, seeing as it's a public one. ( The taxidermy one was a private server, hence why the mods were all people I knew irl )

But yeah, the auction thing was me venting mostly bc I was angry, to be honest, more at myself than anything. But seeing as the server is adults only, I was in the state of mind that "this won't be blown out of proportion and people will understand that this is venting" but apparently not lmao. ( Though it still irks me that people are saying I implemented the no screenshots rule to cover my own ass when it was actually put into place because multiple people were having anxiety attacks and expressed concern, but that's a whole other ballgame )

And god no, please no auction mechanic, that sounds like a nightmare in and of itself, especially when things go wrong.

i knowww. white people are the worst to work with.

reading "sentenced loook like dis" burned holes in my retinas

you were an absolute ass to a specific namedropped user because of your own failings as an auctioneer. i dont know why you thought it was appropriate to "vent" like that when you absolutely could have dealt with those feelings internally. or at least not in public lmfao

No offense, but in my experience, adults are more likely to be catty bitches and leak shit.

However, considering that what you were doing could have led to a targeted harassment campaign or people blocking someone because of your own failure as an auctioneer, among other things? You reaped what you sowed, dude. You deserved every insult for tantrum worthy of a bratty kid in a grocery store being told no.

Honestly, I'd prefer an automated system, because then it'd put the onus on auctioneers to do it right and would make it so you couldn't back out of your own screw up like you childishly considered from what I saw.

I feel the same as the two anons above me.

Venting is fine, as long as it is 'private' or can't be traced back to a specific person if it is public. (note, by venting, I am talking about where the other user hasn't done anything wrong, just something the venting user didn't like)

I am pretty sure that most people did understand it was venting, I know I did. But, it was still over the top, and in a place where random people could see it. Even if the rule is that it is adults only, unless you knew everyone personally, you couldn't be guaranteed that it was adults only, and honestly, many adults can be worse than minors with things like dogpiling someone.

That is why I said what you were saying should have been in a private channel, or only to people you knew would be okay with that type of venting. Because, apparently someone in the server *wasn't* okay with that type of venting.

As for the auction mechanic, I always felt like that, that it would be a huge nightmare to try to implement because the 'rules' for auctions can be dependant on a variety of things, and not all auctions are for pure currency.

But, like the other anon, you talking about 'backing' out was what made me change my mind, especially since it was over a price you had set. I don't know FR's stance on auctions, so I don't know if that would have been an actionable offense or not (another site I play, I believe it would have been. I *think* they have a rule where if you set up an auction, you are supposed to go through with it, and aren't allowed to cancel, once it is set up, but not sure. It could just be that once the auction is finished, you are meant to 'keep your promise' by honoring the auction)

(I know what you mean about not knowing how to use the site, I can barely navigate as well, as I am not a regular user here)

I think this site being used is a throwback to when a lot of lj/dw roleplayers were talking FR in their anon comm, so they made the previous one. But it's easier to do this for anon chatter.

I actually have one of her works in my kitchen right now! She's amazing to work with. Sure it takes time, but people have a life outside of the internet so it's understandable. Shipping is like $2 and is really quick. I'd recommend her!

My apologies for taking this offsite, but winter events are taking up far too much of my social energy to communicate non-anonymously if I can possibly avoid it. Or if this has already been answered somewhere and I just didn't see it. But if anyone on our dom team, or who just happens to be smarter than I, is here and can answer, I'd appreciate it.

Are in-flighters permitted to pay for ornaments/badges with personally exalted levels? If not, is there any need to keep tracking IDs (besides the Ecosystem, which has always been a little intimidating for me to get involved with).

And if so, can we still keep recording exalts for raffle tickets after we've gotten all the badges we want (which might not happen of course, I haven't mathed it out yet, but there's so much pretty art I'm drooling over. Kudos to my talented flightmates!)?

Dreamwidth gets used a lot for anonymous communities/kink memes/drama stuff because it's actually possible to be anonymous on here. That and threading go a long way.

when I was in nature last year the only way to get the ornament badges IF was to pay for them, unless they changed the policy.

Anon sites used to be hosted on LJ until the strikethrough of 2007, and then LJ was bought by a Russian company, and basically became the Wild West, so a lot of them migrated to DW.

DW/LJ were preferred bc not only can you be anonymous, but moderators can freeze/delete/screen comments to keep the communities SOMEWHAT sane.

I honestly cannot imagine running an anon community on tumblr. It's impossible to contain/organise the same way as it is here.

That as well.

Tumblr, well, the drama blogs regularly turn to cess pits in the replies. Here, you can stop the people telling each other they deserve to die.

They tell us this shit to cut down on speculation and people still act like this.

They're idiots.

Honestly, I'm betting this is backend to fix that odd error some folks were getting because of the size of cookies.

Lol yeah, being able to make things a little safer/kinder is always a plus.

The dom team said:

"you have to send in the dragons to the attendants because we exalt them and covert them into treasure. it helps get us a spot on the leaderboard, but we then take all the earnings from the exalted dragons and give it to the seed bank
So they can use the money that they get from exalting their dragons and buy badges... but it's the money we get from exalting that we're technically using (1 level = 1.5kt)"

Hope that helps!

boring backend is precious, boring backend means they care

i don't get why people have to be such prissy babies about the backend work, it has to be done in order for the site to function properly...

Does anyone know the exact dates for NotN?

It usually starts on the Sunday of the week of the Solstice. Last year, it started on the 18th, so I suspect it will start on the 19th this year.

BINGO
