You sound fat

Rundown: [community profile] 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. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
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.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

or it could be stricter rules and deletion of useless shit. with the 'no this and thats' that got put down after the denise message, yeah, wg slowed. because most of the trolling shitty namecalling became disallowed. i don't really care how slow wg is. as i said, it doesn't need to be fast. it's not a game. there's no fucking ac for it. it's what's being talked about. and if we keep it to civil shit and discussions about what's relevant instead of just keysmashing whatever enters your head, yeah, it's going to 'slow down'. but that's not from ip logging. ip logging coincided with new rules.

The thing about anoncomms (and by "anoncomms" i mean "mostly wg") is that like you said they are dominated by a small group of jackasses trying to sell themselves as the majority. and i think ip logging has a little to do with the slowdown, but what it mostly is is people realizing how useless wg really is

rpa is 90% butts and farts and shrimp shitposting and that's okay, it doesn't hurt anyone. the problem with wg is that for every 1 tora or second they out they drive off 20 or 30 harmless people whose only crime was pissing off the wrong asshole. i'm glad that tora and second and antman etc are gone, but i think wg has long caused more harm than help. it won't be closed, but the best thing it could do for dwrp is to close

the only problem is that inevitably some asshole or another would make another wankgate because pandora's box can't be closed. that's the whole reason why we have wg now, denise jumped at the chance to nuke acj but when wg replaced it she knew it was a lost cause. otherwise i think she would have nuked wg years ago (and nothing of value would have been lost)

i like farting around on rpa when i'm bored bc we are generally nicer

tho wg babies who don't get their thirst quenched on that comm have been bringing their pissbabiness over here more often than not

> or it could be stricter rules and deletion of useless shit.

i'm guessing you don't do much wg because those "strict rules" have pretty much gone out the window, 90% of the current post is hi x and tumblr bullshit and calling people autists and cunts or whatever. and even if namedrops have been seen to (i think), people are still finding ways around even that, as evidenced by that one anon who keeps sneaking their grudgeboner for someone named kristen into everything (and they never provide deets because that'd get them nuked). the problem with using rules to curb wg is that it's like mowing weeds, they just grow right back. i don't think the rules have had any effect on posting at all, just because for every rule shitposters have either ignored it or found ways around it.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-24 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
while i don't disagree with you that there's a lot of shitstirring on wg, i really don't think that it affects as many harmless people as you think. i've watched nameless no ones get brought up, have a 'who the fuck is this' and if there's nothing but 'does a thing i don't like' they get told to fuck off. yeah, it sucks that they got brought up there in the first place, but no one's going around gorespamming hmds like what used to happen.

i think there's maybe... god, i don't know, 5-10 real assholes that keep bringing up the same names over and over to try to either stir shit, misdirect wank to whoever, or just like to be general assholes. wg's never going to close. not in the way you mean. unless the site mods actually come down with 'this site is gone, fuck you, clear house, no other comm will ever be made', another one will crop up. just like with acj/wg (i know the first acj was due to misplacing the mod pw). people want a place designated to being a dick. the rule of thumb is that if you don't like it, don't go. no one makes anyone go to that comm. no one makes them reply. no one's making me come here and reply to you. i choose to do this, just like you chose to reply. that's on us. anyone crossing a line and taking wg or rpa stuff to someone off the comms is the real asshole, but i don't see that happening like it used to (and it did used to, but also, me not seeing it doesn't mean it doesn't happen)

it is what it is. it's the divebar in the bad part of town you go to for shitty beer that's cheap. you know that walking in. no one's going in thinking that it's a bastion for the erudite among us.

because wg shut that shit down and they need to cry about noodles and troll somewhere. i'm annoyed it's come here too.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-24 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
yes, and if people actually report it, because the mods don't really go through all the threads, then they get deleted. when a thread has been reported for an actual rule break, it gets deleted. one that gets gross and goes off tangent gets frozen and/or deleted. certainly more than what happens here. it's not a perfect system, but it's better than the pages and pages of tumblr spam that used to crop up.

i don't see why it bothers you if you don't wg. i keep up on what's going on, in flatview, and i see pages get deleted while i'm sleeping. maybe you don't notice it, but i sure do.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-24 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
noodles sure pissed a lot of people off

i'd never even heard of them before all the namedropping

(Anonymous) 2016-05-24 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
it's less 'a lot' and more 'the wrong person'. someone things everyone replying to certain things is noodles. i've been called noodles a bunch (?) and the only thing i know about them is they play an oc? or used to? i don't know.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-24 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
> i don't see why it bothers you if you don't wg

it "bothers me" because i had friends in this hobby who are no longer in this hobby because they tagged the wrong person and got their ass ridden by wg for weeks on end. it "bothers me" because i've tried to bring old friends i met in this hobby back and they take a look at what we've become and tell me they don't want to come back to this and i don't blame them. it "bothers me" because this was originally a hobby for people to have fun and now you're only allowed to have fun if it's in a safe space or is "group approved" enough that someone won't bother to try and kinkshame you or make fun of your shitty writing (and let's be real we are all shitty writers here)

in short, like i said, i think wg causes more problems than it solves. i think it's been that way for a while now. and while i agree with op that its time of usefulness (to the little extent it ever had a use) is long gone and it would be better closed, i don't see it ever closing. every hobby seems to have to have that subset of members who put down all the others for various arbitrary reasons.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-24 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
those are all nice, I guess, but the work (or lack thereof) that goes into moderating anoncoms these days makes it not worth it, especially if you took away all the worthless trolling, these places would be ghost towns, and anything remotely positive that comes from them can be implemented into new, non-anon communities.

let's face it, anon, anoncomms aren't needed anymore.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-24 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
you're clearly looking at this from a biased perspective, though. i never said it doesn't do bad. i've been namedropped myself. but if you or your friends let a bunch of tittering twatcicles chase you out of a hobby you love? that's not on the 'wg collective'. that's on the shitty asshole who went over the line. you're generalizing the entire comm over your bad experiences. i've had them. a lot of people that frequent the comms have been brought up or shat on. you get over it. because it's a fucking hobby. no one's ruining your life.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-24 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
da here but this is kind of what i was getting at

if you piss off the wrong person in this hobby now you will get your ass ridden forever. my friend got ridden for giving support to one of wankgate's monster of the weeks. this noodles person gets ridden because apparently someone thinks they're a member/leader of the mean girls club. someone named kristen keeps getting pa mentioned and i don't even know why

wg is the reason we have this culture where if you piss off the wrong person you get your ass ridden forever. some of it's bled here to rpa, but it didn't come from rpa. it came from wg

no one is ruining their lives, but would YOUR life really be ruined if anoncomms were gone? you seem deadset on defending their existence and if you're the tldr anon from above, I seriously have to wonder why, because none of that shit needs anoncomms to exist, outside of maybe arbitrary wank policing.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-24 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
except non-anon comms have been tried, repeatedly, and all have failed. because people just prefer it this way. if you want to sock it up, there's a comm made for that. but no one's going to use it as much as they use the anon comms. sorry.

they're needed as long as they're used. i don't know why that's so hard for people. don't like it, don't use it. but don't try to take it away from people that are.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-24 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
everyone's biased, anon. you're biased too. why you could possibly want to keep wg around i cannot fathom, but that's the position you seem to be coming from. you seem to think that because you were strong and brave and rode out the namedrops you got that everyone else can/should too, and okay, you're strong and brave. that doesn't mean everyone else is or that they should have to be. people come to this hobby to have fun, not to absorb abuse. if we're at the point where we're doing hazing, we're doing it wrong and need to back the fuck up. hazing is not okay and tormenting dwrp rookies is essentially a form of hazing. when they've been here a little while it becomes something more like public shaming but that's not really okay either, not unless they are a literal irl criminal like second or tora.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-24 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
because they were tried while these still exist. gotta let go of these relics first before we can move on. the last vestiges of people that still cling here instead of making fandom communities or graphic/icon comms or whatever else will let go and maybe do those things if it's gone. or not, either way, I'm not shedding any tears.

you don't need this comm, anon. you've just convinced yourself you do.

Re: da

(Anonymous) 2016-05-24 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
because i'm against people trying to take something away because they don't approve of it. it's censorship. the main rule for all of these places is to just avoid them if you don't like them. there are plenty of people on the site that have no notion of either of these comms. there's also people that prefer to just go to rpa and avoid the negativity of wg. if you don't want to go, don't, but arbitrarily deciding that because you don't like it and it's negative, it shouldn't be allowed on the comm is the problem i have. take responsibility for your own actions. realize that you can't control the assholes. that's fine. no one expects you to. but this isn't YOUR neighborhood to police. let the filth wallow in itself. stay out of it.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-24 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
i answered above. not typing that out again.

Re: da

(Anonymous) 2016-05-24 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
lmao it is not censorship. no one is stopping you from saying any of this shit. learn what censorship means, my god.

if closing anoncomms means losing a whiner like you, good riddance.

btw, I don't want them around because they're "negative", I don't want them around because outside of you and whatever last hold out of people here that aren't just trolls, they're useless and meaningless.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-24 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
i have a grudgewanker who tries to ride my ass every once in awhile but i know exactly who it is and i've called them out on it a few times.

they'll always stop for awhile then start up again, it's really fucking pathetic once it gets into the several-year mark.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-24 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
you realize there's a reason for an anonymous general comm, right? with all the shit people get from the kinks thread alone, i would have thought you'd understand that. even with socks, people shit on the socks for being gross. you have people coming in to troll logged in comments about icon comms.

it's the people, not the place. let's say you move it. let's say. let's say that all anon comms close down forever and are opened as sock comms. the same shit is going to happen there. people were shitty assholes with socks when wg went into sock mode (albeit at a slower pace). if people want to be shits, they will be shits. there is zero effort in making a sock account to be a fuckball with. you are not going to get rid of this type of behavior. you just aren't. look at things like fb and youtube and reddit, where people are logged in with their actual real names saying horrendous shit. it's going to happen. frankly, i think we get off pretty light here in terms of trolls.
