OP
Yeah I'm not checking this place on the regular because I know a lot of times it's slow and I am not gonna make my life about finding new things on FR to bitch about. It feels like half the time that I do actually check here it's either nothing or something really minor. Which is fine on the other hand because drama can be exhausting and that means the player base is being somewhat well behaved lol. I just like to read interesting tea here and there.

I will say I avoid this place when fests hit because of the whole skin & apparel rants that happen each time lol

pleeeease don't allow it anymore. like, even when a new post isn't complaining about frequent fest winners, it seems to consistently get there anyway. i don't know if it's the same anons bringing it up every time but it's so tired... it never goes anywhere

I'm good with banning festival skin discussion or containing it. But can we still discuss drama like the dipshit that kept getting wins revoked for copyright stuff?

Won the festival twice with copyright violations. Threw tantrums when staff had to remove and replace the winners both times.

My completely tinfoil conspiracy theory is that staff picked their infringing accent on purpose to make an example of them.

The stupidest part is they are a decent artist. They just need to stop the blatant shit in festival entries.

I personally would prefer it to be contained rather than banned altogether.

While it is mostly the same things over and over and over again, occasionally there might be something new or something new has been said etc..

i'd prefer skin drama be allowed but contained, so people who aren't interested can avoid it. i'd be worried that, if there was a flat "no skin drama" rule, conversations such as such as an artist toeing the line of "inspiration" a bit too closely or commissioners using skin artists as cash cows won't happen.

not even festivals in general. I roll my eyes so hard whenever 888/MV gets brought up because the thread immediately gets derailed

Technically, every bit of debate/derailing on them I've seen is founded on bad feelings brought on by the festival shit.

Yeah even though I'm sick and tired of skin drama, even I don't want it banned all together. Like I know there's new things that could happen and things to be said. I'm just tired of when it's the same shit different day, ya know?

All for containing it and not banning all together. Fest skin stuff especially

Oh and thanks Mindless for considering it! I know you said you're getting tired of it too but I just want to express gratitude ^^

Containing it is cool, but don't ban it please :( I like to read through it even if it's a dead horse - people arguing pointlessly is kinda the reason why I'm here. If I wanted people not arguing I'd go to FR, and if I wanted people arguing over something important I'd go to news dot com.

allow it but keep it contained, the same way we have wanker/dom/ot, we could have one for skin discussion. i like skimming along the drama!
