rpanons | You sound fat

You sound fat

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. 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.

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.

"if you took away all the worthless trolling, these places would be ghost towns"

especially for the above

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.

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.

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.

then maybe the best thing is to just let all of dwrp die and move to a venue where anoncomms are locked out the gate so this never happens again

maybe you're right. hell, i'll say you're almost certainly right. it's damn hard to get piss out of the pool once someone's gone and taken a leak. but that doesn't mean it should suddenly be okay for people to piss in the pool whenever or however they want. when i was a kid my mom told us she put a chemical in our pool that would leave a green line on our legs if any of us pissed in the pool. it was probably bullshit but it worked, i never pissed in our pool and neither did my sisters (that i know of). sometimes you need a green line to hold over little shits to keep them from pissing all over the places, it's unfortunate but it's just human nature

and you're talking about what happens to kids vs what happens to adults. we're adults. if adults want to be hateful, negative spewing assholes, that's their right. we can just choose not to like them, not listen, and avoid places where that happens. we have the kkk, wbc, trump supporters, and that's only in the general us. because there's a thing called free speech that people like to utilize. and some of those people are going to utilize it to be a dick.

i mean, hey, if you want to go open another forum or site like dw and censor the fuck out of it and disallow anything negative, you go for it. kick people. ban them. put up rules that allows you to take legal action.

but that's not going to happen here and dwrp is not going to die or be shut down because of wg and rpa. just don't read the comms, buddy.

adults, ha. literally no one that spends their days on wg is an adult, at least not mentally. they're hideous ladychildren trapped in adult bodies but mentally still stuck back in the high school days. if your idea of a healthy community involves hazing, harassment and borderline-psychotic obsessiveness, you don't get to call yourself an adult, regardless of how old your hobby might be

are there people like this elsewhere in the world? sure, there's all kinds of them. there's neo-nazis and hatemongers and trump supporters and so on. but they don't have a place here. their place is somewhere else, somewhere i don't go. and the wg obsessives, i don't want to go where they are either. they're not in this hobby to have fun, they're in it to settles grudges or because they think arguing is fun or something else, something that's not having fun mashing internet barbies together

i'm sorry you want this hate so badly. but i don't want it, and i don't think the rest of us do either. i think you and your small gang are by yourselves on this

i just prefer lack of censorship, actually. something this site is well known for. i'm not entirely impressed that autist and cunt were banned on wg, considering, but the fact that someone's always going to step over the bounds... shrug

then just make an anon kink-finding comm.

icon comms do not, by nature, need to be anon.

sock account shits are easier to moderate than anon shits. no one's saying they're going to go away, but they'd certainly be easier to deal with.

just give it up, anon, there's no point you can raise that can't be got around. there is literally no more reason for this to exist. get off the stoop, harry.

why should there be fifteen different comms when one serves it just fine?

and ftr, sock accounts are not at all easier to moderate. kick one. ban one. and then they make another sock. all you're doing is just giving a troll a reason to go make up sock names and clog the system to keep getting around bans so they can come in and be a dick. at least this way, it's less burden on the server.

stop trying to fix what ain't broke. you just don't like the way it works. too fucking bad.

why should there be fifteen different comms when one serves it just fine?

you know how people keep talking about when rp was thriving? part of it was because of the variety of content, multiple fandom comms, fanfic sharing/icon sharing/whatever comms.

and don't concern troll for the server. you know in your heart of hearts most trolls would absolutely give up after awhile if you made the methods more tedious.

stop trying to pretend what's broke ain't broke.

people "just prefer it this way" because if given a choice between consequences and no consequences people will choose no consequences every time. the whole appeal of anoncomms is that they give people a platform to say what they really think and feel without having to own their words, which is great for getting a finger on the pulse of our community (most of us are still stuck in high school mentality, apparently) but the thing about consequences is that they're the price we pay to get along with each other

if wg and rpa existed exactly like they were, just without anon, i guarantee most if not all of the problems they (and by "they" i mean mostly "wg") would dry up instantly. would trolls still harp on kristen or noodles or whoever if they had to own it?

look, buddy. the comms are here. they're not going anywhere. you're not making some kind of argument as to why they should because it's not happening. let it go.

idk, are you the mod? methinks they're the one that's gonna make that decision, not you.

if the mods of either comm haven't closed them down and have, in fact, worked to make sure they don't get closed down, i'm pretty sure the losing side of this argument is yours.

you're really hellbent on keeping your anoncomms where you don't have to own the horrible things you say for a person who is supposedly so brave and strong and willing to face your namedrops and grudgewankers head-on and so on

really? because I'm 99% sure they're just kept around out of habit. they're barely moderated anymore as it is.

no, they're not. but their influence arguably is. people are finally starting to realize that wg is mostly just a hivemind of maybe a dozen or so really dedicated, really nasty pieces of work and then a rotating list of people who visit to keep tabs, to settle their own petty grudgewanks, or whatever

wg isn't going away. but it's getting more irrelevant, i believe (and fervently hope). a small gang of horrible people shouldn't have power to make a community of thousands tremble before them. they deserve irrelevance and i think that's where they're slowly but surely headed

> a small gang of horrible people shouldn't have power to make a community of thousands tremble before them

..... hahahahahhahaha when the fuck has that ever happened?

tbh, why wait for the peter? if no one is using it but grudge wankers, gossips, and trolls, why keep it around? it just seems pointless at this stage. the comm has long since outlived whatever worth it had. rpanons has too.

like, I don't think we should get rid of them because of negativity or wank or whatever, I just think they're vestigial.

and yet here you are... on a vestigial comm.
