An important update:

Due to a specific person being a complete child, comments are going to be screened by default.

This is only temporary, and I apologize for the inconvenience- this is going to be a pain in the ass for me, too, but multiple people have come forward about fears of doxxing, and this is the only way to make sure any doxxing is contained.

(This basically will force the doxxer to make a DW account to post any doxxing attempts unscreened, and will let me more reliably report them to DW staff/authorities.)

Again, I apologize, and will be working to unscreen comments as fast as possible, but I'm only one person.

(Vasemod has had some personal issues come up, so I am the only mod atm. Please bear with me until this bit of annoyance has passed.)

Based on this post (https://saltminerising.tumblr.com/post/730854222403420160/lurking-in-a-from-winds-server-after-her-2k-mass) archive (https://web.archive.org/web/20231011073745/https://saltminerising.tumblr.com/post/730854222403420160/lurking-in-a-from-winds-server-after-her-2k-mass#notes): there is an unfortunately now deleted and seemingly unarchived thread where AoiNoRyuu asked for more help going through 2k+ dragons for valuations and then got upset when people suggested that paying people might incentivize participation.

She's said she has nothing to pay volunteers with and how she doesn't get it because well it's a volunteer role, have you ever heard of a paid volunteer? Like she's running a charity and not getting a bunch of incredibly boring and thankless labour done for free by well meaning people. And after some volunteers said they understood what the people suggesting she offer payment meant and said it felt like she wasn't valuing the work they're doing for her she's just given some "well sorry if I did anything wrong" response. I left her server after seeing that because it left a really bad taste in my mouth.

Knowing she's spending literal thousands on buying this shit in game and is acting like this. Well it fits with the attitude towards money I guess but damn.

Poor taste, especially since she's got a LOT of doubles she said she's auctioning off.... and she could pay after that.

Money can’t buy class I guess. Does she even pay people to board all those dragons? This whole thing just reeks of her expecting people to kiss her ass just because she whaled lol.

I wouldn't be shocked if she expects free boarding too.

Same anon, I was in her server. She's not paying them shit.

(Corrected to say was, mods please delete the one from a few seconds ago!)

I saw that thread, though only up to the point of people mentioning that offering payment may get more interest.

It put a sour taste in my mouth that somebody would put so much money into the game and then expect others to board and sort the dragons for free for them.

A couple of AoiNoRyuu's boarded dragons came up in my search for certain colour combos, but after that thread I really don't want to deal with them.
