... You know, if it had been me, I'd have blocked them and warned all other attendants to do the same to take the chance away. You can't send a dragon if blocked. And that is shitty. Profiting off your own Dom bank.
Oh, I did! There was a whole conversation between the attendants about how it's like they expected us to... not? warn each other what was going on? or communicate at all?
I don't think they got away with sending dragons in more than once, and I'd guess that a good handful of the current nature attendants have them blocked now. But the long-term issue is that because of site rules we're not allowed to have a public blacklist, even on the discord. And there's no way to enforce our user-created public buy rules besides politely asking them to cut it out. I'm assuming the dom leads have probably talked about it, but beyond that.... uh...
guess the rules against public callouts are more enforced now because the last time i remember similar thing happening in my flight (3 years ago, i think) there was an undisguised discussion among attendants and trainers on such behavior (consensus was, iirc, if they want to double dip, then most of us don't want to play with them at least for that week, so majority of us blocked our 'that' person. there was no ping or active dom leader encouragement for either blocking or unblocking but i'm pretty sure that most of us just blocked and forgotten about them)
honestly, I could be wrong about this - I'm just relaying what was told to one of the other attendants who suggested blacklisting them on a more permanent basis
They can't enforce rules in random discords. But in order to post a link to your discord on Flight Rising, it has to follow FR's rules. Mods and organizers in Flight servers are generally pretty careful about making sure everyone sticks to those rules.
And you think that one random conversation about someone's bad behavior will just what, make the staff blacklist that link or anyone who posts it or?... There's adhering to the rules offsite and there's realizing how much power staff actually have offsite (spoiler alert: less than you seem to think).
Just to clarify, there wasn't any issue with the one-off conversation. And while nobody was outright encouraged to block them, it wasn't discouraged or shut down in any way either.
I was commenting more on any form of long-term blacklist, where keeping an eye out for them might be suggested to future attendants. So like an actual blacklist, not a casual conversation about their behavior.
What the fuck are you talking about? No one thinks that. FR has zero power off-site. There's nothing stopping someone from taking screenshots and reporting behavior in a flight server. And that CAN get links removed with enough evidence. Why chance it when you can just follow the fucking rules. Not to mention that FR's rules and policies are basic common sense whenever you have a large group of people interacting in an online space.
It's one thing to warn your raffle receivers about someone who shouldn't be slipping through. It's another thing to keep a list of people and make that list available for future receivers to block.
