rpanons | oh to be a beautiful widow taking a rest against my fainting couch

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 post personal information. This includes but is not limited to full names, addresses, phone numbers and so on.
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.

nayrt i mean i agree with you but saying it isn't stalking (i would say the OP's friend is being possessive and jealous) because it's just reading threads publicly is also devaluing and softening it. i don't think this is the case for the OP since like you said, reading threads in a public forum isn't stalking, but it can lead to it. case in point: when i was much younger, i didn't private my social media so it was out there for everyone to see and i started receiving anonymous online gifts in response to things i said like "oh my paid time for my journal is about to run out" and while i was grateful at first, it then also started to include anonymous messages about how much they loved me, and then escalated to stuff like "if i told you who i was, will you marry me?"

it's very minor and borderline stalking, it may have been someone just wanting to tease me in a friendly way, but i remember being freaked the fuck out because i had no idea who was watching me. i've locked all of my social media every since and even now i still am cautious about what i say to other people because i don't know who is watching.

and i agree with you that reading threads in a public space isn't stalking, but the context of what is happening is important. if OP reveals that this friend is upset because they know OP is staying up late to tag other CR since they're monitoring their tagging times and know when they usually stop, even if it's not stalking it's getting dangerously close to it. it's like if someone reveals that they keep refreshing my profile to see how many comments i have and they know i'm tagging other people than them - it may not be stalking but i'm definitely going to be uncomfortable.

i had a former rp partner who was stalking me in the sense that they constantly monitored the comment count on my journal profile to know when i was tagging threads that weren't ours. it may be public but keeping track of something like that is absolutely stalking.

you have to realize this is very much not the same thing as idly reading people's threads on bakerstreet right

you understand that this thread is not about idly reading threads right

i feel sorry for op with all of these anons coming in here to defend her nasty friend's actions as "just idly reading threads" because they can't be bothered to parent up to the actual topic of conversation

nobody's defending op's friend's actual actions we're just saying they aren't being a stalker

you can be a shitty passive aggressive nutcase who has a problem when you see your friends threading with other people on memes but unless you're specifically opening every meme to look for them and tracking their threads comment by comment, you aren't stalking, you're just a shitty passive aggressive nutcase

honestly yeah it sucks that op's thread got derailed becaused some anon who got accused of stalking behavior was uncomfortable when we are not about them

I didn’t expect this to blow up lol but everyone has different experiences/opinions I guess!

In my case I never thought of it as stalking, all the threads are public to read. I just figured she was checking out my stuff. She does track my threads (I think you can set it to have any comments on a thread sent to your inbox - idk ive never done it myself) and read them that way, she’s made PA comments a few seconds after I’ve pressed submit on a tag. She also said she tracks them a while back.

But I don’t really get why she keeps reading them if they make her upset?
