rpanons | Oh beautiful, for spacious posts

Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

The whole thing would be more or less fine if the option to tag anonymously could be turned off. The only real downside to that is for memes like IC Anon questions or In The Dark, where the meme requires anon tagging, but those could be posted in a separate journal like some memes are anyway.

Though that would require getting the mod's attention and cooperation, which... apparently is much easier said than done, so if a new mod's what it takes then a new mod it is.

Maybe the other anon who commented on the Roundup post today wants to become a mod?

As I said above, when I contacted DW my plan was not that but I thought it over for some days and wanted to know how others feel about it.

My main concern is to keep Bakerstreet as an active comm without trolls and harrassment.

I wouldn't be against taking over as a mod if it comes to that. I mostly contacted DW to ask about all the spam and if there was anything at all they could do since the original mod has been absent for a LONG time.

They didn't say anything about being able to delete the spam, but they did say if my PMs to the mod accounts went ignored, then they'd see about appointing a new mod. I just contacted them again when my PM to the mod account went ignored and we had not only spam posts but more harassment of some players, but I've yet to hear back.

But yeah, in the end, that's my main concern as well. I don't care who mods it as long as there's someone around to take care of all the trolls and anonymous harassment going on. It's an uncomfortable thing to watch and if it keeps up or gets any worse, I'm worried it really will run off all the people who use Bakerstreet.

So basically we've been doing the same thing and gotten the same response from DW staff.

I'm glad to know others are willing to deal with the trolling as well.

Pretty much, yes! I'm a little disappointed that it doesn't seem like we'll get the spam entries deleted, but it does seem like some of the meme posters are deleting the anonymous harassment so that's good!

I'm glad as well. I hope with two people (at least) contacting them over the situation and saying similar things, we can get something done.

If you end up being the mod and want some additional backup, I don't mind helping. I'm just really busy for the next few weeks and can't take on extra work but after that I'm able to do something.

Though it's perfectly fine if you rather mod alone.

I'll keep my eye on how this all pregresses now.

*progresses

I would actually love some help maintaining the community if this actually happens! I saw that you wanted to organize tags and such, which sounds like a wonderful idea to me!

Do you have a place where I could possibly contact you so we could talk about it more or anything?

I have this journal I haven't used for anything else yet.

I wouldn't be opposed to secondary moderating, however mostly it's - concern over people leaving because of the anon hate. I like bakerstreet and I don't want to leave and go to a dressing room or any of that.

The more people there are with this thought the better, I think.
