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.)

yes :(

i mean looking back my replies to staff have a more harsh tone than i like. i would have polished them more. i did write several other posts w my longer analysis of the issue, so i hope my many words can clarify how i feel about it (which is strongly! i was grouchy) and come off a little more level-headed. i am interested in game economies and i see an important facet of fr’s economy getting kneecapped bc of a lack of foresight. i apologize for going off without taking time to cool off, and for using a tone that felt passionate at the time but is definitely overly blunt.

i can explain my issues with the removal of mass pings but it would take an essay (and i’ve already put a lot of my thoughts in suggestions forum). it’s a complex topic and the community-run pinglists are critically important to communities that seem niche but move quite a high amount of g/t through the game. i love skins and accents and i just can’t see anything official that’s on the level of gasp being worth dev time, which is deeply frustrating. i *only* ping gasp, i barely use the g1/other pinglists, but i know how integral they are to some fr users and i really feel for them. i’m not just trying to whine and be a dick, tho i do have cunt tendencies. i know the economy is a silly thing to worry about for some people (smr) but like… i really can’t say how much it means to me to be an artist on a site where art is valued and artists can be compensated fairly, and i know that skins and accents need gasp or something very like it to survive. i also know that the complexities of gasp are for a comparative niche and an official replacement would likely interfere pretty heavily with dev resources that could go towards features more players could enjoy.

guess i wrote an essay anyway… well, read my suggestions forum posts for more clarification :-O
