rpanons | All the pretty little anons

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.

as someone not in the game... is there anything stopping players from, uh, pming the mods if they want "anonymous mod contact"?

i get that people would want it for rei, i never even played there and i know she was nuts. but she's been ancient history for years now and, iirc, the current tlv mods are a pretty sane bunch. is this one of those "we want the thing just to have it" things?

Sometimes when I've wanted to critique a mod decision I'd rather do it without my name attached. The mods all seem reasonable but truth is I've gotten the cold shoulder before from reasonable seeming mods after giving critique and I'd rather not risk it again. Individual players and their characters I can crit in person, but if I'm critting moderators as moderators I'd rather go anon.

And there have been times where I've wanted to bring up an in-game issue without pointing the finger at specific players I've played with recently. But, honestly, I mostly think it'd be a step in the right direction to open up one anonymous route of contact in this game. We're still kind of stuck in the "anons are evil" Rei ages in that regard. Even the meme comm of all things doesn't even allow anon comments, and I think some people are harboring a lot of paranoia about anons and what having a single anon-enabled contact page would lead to.

I'm not paranoid about anons, I just don't see how it's necessary to have it.

I'm not saying you're paranoid in particular, and it isn't necessary but it wouldn't hurt, either. There's a poll going on right now and people are actively voting against having anon contact, which is what puzzles me.

i'm one of the nos.

specify screened anon comments only, fine. being able to crit the mods anon wouldn't bother me. anon discussion by the entire game, or worse anyone who got tossed a link? fuck no.

I imagine the anon comments would be screened and even if they weren't, a vast majority of games don't get their anon mod contact pages trolled by outsiders, let alone a game as under-the-radar as TLV. If it was about HMDs I'd understand the concern because someone outside the game with a grudge against a player could be posting rude comments it, but what could they even say on a mod contact page? I doubt the mods would take someone posting 20 anon comments saying "raise the activity check now!!" or something like that seriously without polling the playerbase in a non-anon capacity.

I can't really picture whatever terrible consequences you're envisioning, anon.
