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.

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.

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.

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.

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