Sure I can screen comments, but that wouldn't be helpful to people seeking suggestions since they wouldn't be able to see them. Any other method that would require me to routinely screen and unscreen comments would be complicated and just as prone to sniping.
Anon's suggestion is really your best bet and it's fairly simple as it is. In this case it's going to be up to the poster to decide whether or not they want to safeguard themselves.
I have no idea what my mobile did but it logged me out, ate the subject of my post (which was the canon so my RP With Me would get noticed) and then posted it logged out entirely. I'm don't want people to wander on by since what I am looking for is so unclear. Is it possible you could delete it so I can just repost the text in its entirety? I've copied what I have word for word :)
Is it possible to start adding the KINKS YOU WANT TO PLAY and PAIRINGS YOU WANT TO PLAY to the main posts from now on? They're commonly used, every single time a new post goes up.
SO uh.. i need help. there is a username I want to get for a new muse i'm going to try out but it's been purged and deleted. I looked it up and the only way you can get certain usernames that have been said purged is by purchasing a rename token. i obviously do that but for some reason, it won't let me use it? idk what i'm doing wrong. it shows the points i have
maybe i'm an idiot help would be appreciated, pls. i'll be more than happy to show screenshots or whatever
Hi, anon! I don't think you meant to post this to the concerns post, which is meant to report rpanon rules violations; the comments are normally screened so that only the other mods and myself can see it. You can try asking in the current post to see if someone has any advice, but you might have better luck opening a Dreamwidth support request.
possibly a dumb request, but would you mind adding a 'you should use a sock' or something to the username header? people are still sniping usernames and we've had new blood that gets screwed by that recently.
You can wait to post spoilers (or link to them) until after the film has released on the 26th, when spoilers are normally expected to show up in the community.
If someone gets a wild hair to post episode spoilers for GoT ahead of their air date, or pops off with credible spoilers for SW a couple weeks ahead of its release, I will probably delete those as well. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posting spoilers in advance isn't inviting discussion as much as it is playing a "me first!" game without all the pieces.
rpa mod, i don't know if you are the one to speak to here, but since this discussion is being partly conducted on your community, i want to note that ... the fact that this lifeaftr mod discussion turned into some kind of proving game around the ethics out of outing wankers in dwrp that *followed the mods onto plurk with socks* feels wrong to me. i don't think you did something wrong here, mind you, but for years the rp community has been sick of wankgate because we feel it fosters harassment.
wankgate has rules against harassment which it barely enforces, but we always hear wankgate drama can be ignored. it wasn't ignored. people followed the mods onto plurk and forced them to air their laundry about this year old drama. with respect to players who have to interact with these mods and with respect to those players wanting this addressed, as i know this is a delicate situation, the way this has been handled borders uncomfortably on harassment to me. i'm an uninvolved party. i am not in this game and i only know the friends of the friends of these players in the most peripheral sense. but i have a lot of concerns right now with how things are going on your sister community and because of your sister (or satellite?) community. this sock incident raises a concerning precedent in some ways.
please tell me if i am overreacting myself here. if i'm overreacting to an overreaction, i will accept a dose of perspective, but i think at this point wg seems to be manufacturing non-wank that is escalating into such borderline levels of harassment that someone may plausibly complain to denise. or maybe it's just that this sort of thing, in past incidents when it happened, seemed to have at least some possible justification, but during these slow days of wg, this is increasingly looking like mass hysteria to me? like i said, please hit me with a dose of perspective if i'm reacting too strongly, but i figured i'd put this on the "concern" page at least since you are holding the only moderated discussion of the issue.
My co-mod and I don't mod Wankgate and presently do not own Plurk, so we therefore can't moderate what goes on in either community- and it would set a concerning precedent for us, to attempt to interfere in another community's modding. As you have concerns with Wankgate, we advise you to bring them to their mod team. We will continue to freeze or delete threads here on RPA that get out of hand, and/or violate DW's terms of service.
Having spoken with Denise myself in the past regarding the admin team's views on anon comms and the negative, hurtful remarks of anons, I do wish you a great deal of luck in approaching them!
As you appear to also be arguing in bad faith here and here, my co-mod and I can't quite believe you're as "uninvolved" as you claim. The caps provided, and the discussion they have fostered, will remain up.
Hi, anon! Just commenting to assure you that the IP address of this comment does not match the banned individual's (indeed, it's several states apart). Thanks for your vigilance!
IPs don't match (though the anon is utilizing a proxy, we don't believe Ink likes using them/knows how to utilize them). I advise any artists and designers to handle transactions through sock accounts and posts vs direct PMs, and keep all IPs logged for both anon & logged-in accounts.
Your eternal love is appreciated and reciprocated, nonny. Please keep us posted if another fruitless debate about the topic starts so it can be nipped in the bud.
i have a particular scenario i want to play out that involves a usually kinky trope. i personally would play this out in either a ship or a gen scenario, but i don't know if the addition of the kinky trope means i should put it under kinks i'd like to play? looking at that thread it seems more general rather than "i want this specific combination of canon characters with this particular trope as part of the setting."
should i just put this in the rp with me thread or would either the pairing or kinks thread be more appropriate?
You can put it under RP with me. I think that would be fine. It may help to disclose everything you're open to playing (gen, ship, kink, etc). Good luck, anon!
Unfortunately, we do not log IP addresses of logged-in comments, mostly in order to protect the privacy of people seeking private play using sock accounts in KYWTP. Therefore we have no way to definitely confirm whether or not a given account belongs to a particular person.
i'm sorry for reopening the discussion and causing the thread to be frozen. i was on the fence, but i was worried so i wanted to encourage someone to reach out if they could. could you please delete my comment in the thread too? i didn't mean to cause trouble.
The thread in question was screened because I felt like this was a borderline case of whether or not it was acceptable to post the individual's name; an anon claims this person is public about being a DWRPer and linked their website, but I found no such references, on there or their linked social media profiles (most of which have not been updated in years). Therefore we intend on keeping that thread screened for now.
For the rest of your points- please know that we mods have seen the discussion and are still formulating a reponse.
