¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Didn't know if people would want it or not. But here it is - https://imgur.com/a/PvghDcb

im not really sure what youre trying to get from this. server "rules" mean nothing in this case as there apparently was a culture or collection of people who felt comfortable saying slurs in the chat. i do feel for the people who got lumped in with the trash but its... weird that youre bringing these affected people up when its unrelated to the g1 auction shitfest. people felt comfortable saying slurs in the server back then, and people feel comfortable bitching out other FR players in the server now. thats all im really getting from the situation.

Oh I brought it up since it was brought up a few comments above and how they thought it was sketchy that I was asleep when the whole thing happened. ( the entire mod team lives on the east coast so literally none of us were awake ) But the rules are most certainly enforced, just you really can't do much when nobody ( mod wise ) is awake. Also these are two entirely different servers.

my dumbass putting two replies into one where I meant to reply to the comment below this, but I think you get the gist, right?

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

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.

BINGO
