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.)

Re: mass pings are going to be killed and it’s going to kill the economy

rip dom org. anything that is fun about dom is entirely the creation of players, so i hope they at least listen to dom teams if nobody else who’s been affected.

i completely understand and agree with what you’re saying about how any feature that might match gasp would be subject to community scrutiny in an unmanageable way. i hadn’t thought of that, but… yeah, we’re done for. i just can’t decide if it’s worse for skin advertising to die completely or if a site run feature would be an absolute mess, either from the community or from staff.

also, i am genuinely an extremely chill person and i usually agree with staff/also try to be understanding of their choices. but i also feel that the ‘we are listening to feedback, we still have time to make fixes, but we’re not going to meaningfully address the major issues this will cause <3’ response is just not the one we need. it all feels like they had no idea that these mass pings were so important to so many players, which does not give me faith that shuttering them will come with meaningful and satisfactory replacements. we all understand that this feature is in its infancy, but we’ve been saying flight rising features can’t possibly match up to player-run tools. they said to keep an open mind, but literally how can they build anything that comes close to what the community already has?
