There are too many good Abby ones. It's making me nervous because not all of them can win, so I'll have to open my wallet after the fest and buy them.

Putting my money on someone having a meltdown over plague hatchling skins. I already saw a thread pop up over it in Help.

"Please make it easier to find."

Okay good, how about you make your point easier to find in that wall of text- which is "I'm an entitled twat."

Re: the essay replying to aequorin

(Anonymous) 2024-10-09 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
"make things easier to find" is a very understandable and reasonable ask, overshadowed insanely by the irony of a post so full of tangents and redundant examples muddying the point asking for it.

genuine question but if clockworkmoose was replying this way to anyone else… would this count as harassment

because omg

Re: the essay replying to aequorin

(Anonymous) 2024-10-09 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
tbh a lot of the way people treat staff would constitute harassment. it's partly because of aeq's job as community liaison that she gets as much vitriol as she does, but even as someone with plenty of complaints about fr as a site and decisions being made over the years some people just really love to hate staff and aeq in particular Really Fucking Loudly and it's weird!

general blocklist

(Anonymous) 2024-10-09 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
fr doesn’t allow public discussions of blacklists or callouts but since this is anon i hope its all okey doke and within reason

the wanky bits this is my blocklist

clockworkmoose - general entitlement and seem like a pain to deal with
contaminate - argumentative butthole in the suggestion forums
dakkokki - tracer too much drama in general

with proof or history who should be avoided

nayrt
honestly this is why i side eye people who get mad that "aeq is way too mean!"
not saying that aeq has never been rude obviously but if i was dealing with what aeq deals on a consistent basis i would be way way wayyy less patient with every rude person that comes my way, so whenever i see people complain about it just feels like they whined and complained about something and got mad that aeq told them no.

Currently they spend a lot of time arguing in suggestions and many find that annoying.

Re: the essay replying to aequorin

I have absolutely found that people interpret a polite-but-firm knock it off as rude. There’s a client contact a lot of my current office mates think is kinda rude and brusque. To me he’s just…corporate bland, but suffers no shit.

Also, learning to accept criticism gracefully is a process, and a lot of FR players *are* very young. No one likes being told they’re wrong. It’s easy to confuse “I feel hurt” with “this person is being hurtful”.
