This is getting out of hand
Is it just me, or is there a lot of attacks happening on the site right now. Dahlia and Reaper yesterday. Naho and Bona today. This needs to stop. I thought Harassment wasn't allowed on this site.
It seems to be in the form of shitposting, but... I have to agree. At the very least, it may be best to discuss the issues at hand instead.
Tai
Conversation exists and should be had. The problem lies in the fact that some parties are harder to reach than others.
that's why there're a bunch of discords. One was even specifically made for new people, but no one ever joined. Instead they became a den for the elders. Now, if this makes them changer their mind, the discord links should still be somewhere in the rules post I think and if not, I'll post them here in a bit.
THANK YOU SAM
Let's talk about, why everyone attacks me for no reason.
Well, I suppose the underlying issue to the attacks is the issues some have with certain rpers. These issues are present, but do not justify the level of shitposting I've seen. Therefore, there needs to be a conversation to sort everything out.
I mean what I know from your case reap is that you threw somone out of a thread, and that's pretty bad. and it's also what probably started this all.

We could all chose to ignore it or talk personally about it with the person in a calm rational manner. Without a doubt, there are some underlying problems with RPers just like Cait said. Either way, it's best to talk one on one with the person we're having a problem with and settle this since it seems like a personal problem.
And look how they deny it in the PM's.
Well said, Akira. It may be best to either have said conversation here, or discuss it privately in PMs. Whichever one both parties feel most comfortable in.
Said shitposting isn't merely the work of PMers, Reaper. Some users that frequent the site normally have gotten involved as well.
Reaper, my dude... You're treating it as if it's a personal attack. Sure, it might be but remember this is the internet. Something you say on here isn't going to hurt you in the future but you're treating the situation as if it could ruin your life. For those who "harassed" you, just talk calmly to them like Cait and I are doing. Reaching out and coming to a mutual understanding isn't' going to be as childish as you make it out to be unless you turn it childish yourself.
* whistles inocently*
Wait, when were Bona and Naho harassed? I saw when Reaper and dahlia were harassed.
Of course i take it personal! My life is already fucked up and i thought i can escape reality here but no everyone is a fucking bully.
Sam
The training in the woods thread gave me that idea. And the end of the Bona café threads.
Yesterday it kind of happened towards the end of their previous cafe, and definitely when they made another thread. I'll grab the links in a few moments.
Also Reaper, if you don't want anyone to react negatively, then be nice. Actions have consequences whenever real people are involved. Its not bullying, its reacting IC.
here's the discord where most people hang out. https://discord.gg/GMEvNh

there are others as well, but I'm going to guess most discussions happen there.
most of the people shitposting are in the PMs if I remember correctly. Still good to have a discussion, but a lot of the discord crowd is in the "ignore" corner.
Tbh, the first one directed at Reaper and Dahlia was mainly a joke. When things are labeled as memes, they're jests.
When i was not nice? Because i throw that guy out? It was roleplay!
Tai
Igrnore is not a luxury we have. That will only fester into more negative emotions. And I for one don't want that. So please join the Discord and talk to us. We don't bite.

Often.
throwing people out isn't nice, who cares if its RP. You really didn't have any reason or excuse to do so. This is where you have to take a moment to remember there are in fact other people.
Even so, it was a major overreaction both IC and OOC. Part of roleplay is being in-character... and still acting within reason. For example, Gamma as a character may be rude at times, but he still has limits to the severity of that aspect.
It was his problem for taking seriously.....
Tai
Reaper. Even still. You were curt and dismissive. The lot of you were. I read the thread. IC, Red was in the right. I never once saw anyone explain what a Persona was and instead resorted to making Red out as the bad guy.
Roleplay doesn't excuse the fact that you were being awful rude to him and excluding from an RP that he was free to join. You made the voluntary choice to exclude him and not to mention the stuff you said to Prompto. That was just uncalled for. You could have just said "haha, nice shitpost" but you vented out in frustration towards him in a non-productive manner. This site may be a breath of fresh air for everyone but in the end, the users of the site can't make you feel frustrated or upset. The choice is yours and you chose to be offended rather than laughing off a shitpost.
So let's remember a think. RP, it stands for role playing. playing a role. a role of who ? people. people have feelings. if you throw someone out of somewhere for no good reason, how do you think they'll feel ?
Oh yeah because "Prompto" is innocent.....
*sometimes*
Gamma IC is a sarcastic prick, that's part of his job. And honestly, he's about as rude as a character should be.
And from what I saw, most people reacted IC to you throwing someone out of a place, which of course, is not favorably
Tai
Nobody is innocent. Most dances take two Reaper.
Sam
Before this starts becoming an argument like the state address did, can we please calm down and talk rationally about things.
Reaper, it's not that Prompto is "innocent." You're missing the entire point. The point is, there's a human being behind the screen- and in the end, this is just a place to enjoy time with other Persona fans.
getting angry and butthurt doesn't help your case reaper. Calm down a bit and think rationally.
Tai
Fair point Sam.

I love this community. I do. But seeing people be exclusive as opposed to inclusive. That really bothers me.

I make threads for everyone, by everyone, with everyone. I want everyone to be happy. But as much as I promote inclusiveness, I am but a small drop in the ocean. And there are those who also share my beliefs. But the opposite mind set makes our struggles seem to be in vain.
Tai
Is that a motherfucking Doggo Reference?!
Well said Cait. We chose to be uncivil and we chose to be civil. In the end, it's just the internet and what we say or do won't matter for years later. We can talk and reach an understanding and go on with our day.
Tai for president of the nexus.
Well. With all this being said.

Can we all just sign the Accords?
Tai
I accept? Are we kicking Tim, Splat Tim out of office?
Sam
What has this turned into?
Tai for pres. I will fight anyone who objects.
Wait three years you nerds
Tai
A happy accident. Also I agree with Iron Dude.
Gin
October Revolution time.
No revolution. Respect the government and sign the Accords damn it.
No more fighting. Just conversation.
what are we even signing for ?
Peace. No more lashing out. We convene and speak like the heroes I know we all are.
*s i g n*
well you broke the discussion with that, as you can see. no one is discussing anymore.
Hai Cait. Good job with the discussion :)
Well, I guess there's no longer a need for a civil war. Nice discussion everyone. I'm proud of you.
Much obliged. We need to work together. Enough of this (Captain America) Civil War. I don't care what happened in the past but from now on we start from square one.

No!

From Z E R O!
Sam
Tony Stark for president.

But in all seriousness, I hope that this post at least helped do something to keep peace.
We certainly did get off track. But like earlier posted. Joining the discord and sitting down a la round table would help us get on better.
Yeah, that's what I'm hoping too.
This should be a fun little place to just mess around and talk to people.
out of hand?
Tony... I think that's where you're wrong. Although peace is the ultimate goal of this agreement, it cannot exist. There is simply not enough shitpost for all to enjoy now that people are taking it into a personal offense. I'm sorry Tony but...

http://nerdist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Captain-America-Reveal-06282016.jpg

Hopefully, we can enjoy one last meme together.
no probably not. nothing got actually discussed. I doubt just saying let's all be friends makes everyone friends.
Let us all meme respectfully.
Sam
Well, at the very least I can say I tried.
Bastard. I always had my doubts Rogers. But this isn't about our petty squabbles. This is about them Steve.

Don't you see. The two can exist in unison.

Shitpost. RP. Both are sides of the same coin. It all comes down to the mask you wear.
no wonder nothing ever gets discussed.
to be fair, this one was totally foccused until well after someone important to the discussion left.
Points were still made. I'd like to call this, "Phansite's first steps".
@Bgammax You mean the creator of the thread? Or the "victim" Reaper?
Reaper, the creator left after it was memed a bit.
@Tony_Stark Even though the Phansite's First Steps were over in the actual site's development, I'd agree. Because this community needs some work. (Half of them at least.)
@Bgammax Are you saying that Reaper is the creator? Because that's how you worded it. :v
Hell all of us need work. But acknowledging that is the true first step. I just want to promote discussion in a more accessible medium.
He meant Reaper left. And then stated the creator also left.
Sam
I created the thread and I never left.
Hai @Sam/
The Sam. The legend.
I hope I don't come off as rude, and I apologize for being blunt, but here I go.

You're all over-reacting in all honesty. A lot of people who take issues with some of you, take issues with your characters, not you yourselves. A lot of accounts come to shitpost, or parody things in your threads, and I think most of us are doing it as a way of telling people how absurd the things they're doing are. At least I know that's why I did the things I did. Yes, while a discussion probably would have been a more efficient thing to do... well a lot of us are shitposters. This isn't a personal attack, this isn't harassment, at least for most of us, I can't say anything for users like Grammar. Honestly I got nothing wrong with you people, I just want you to BE GOOD. You all take shitposting and IC posts too seriously. If you take issue with it sorry, but this is the kind of stuff the website was built on essentially. It's not really something new.

The issue with Reaper kicking someone out is… absurd. I think it’s exaggerated in how bad it was, but it was still kind of a bad reaction to a character refusing to blindly accept what he’s told, and trying to rationalize something he doesn’t understand, and you called him “annoying” and tossed him out. The situation with Prompto, Dahlia, and Reaper was a meme, a shitpost. It was a bad meme, but it was a meme, again, don’t take it to heart.
Again, I’ll freely admit, being one of the people involved, it’s far from an efficient way to do it, but we all want to have fun. Ill will was not intended. It was a way to point out to some users how absurd their characters are. I hate to use that term, but you all know what I’m thinking of I’m sure. The problem is how frankly absurd and… honestly, cringeworthy your characters and stories get, without much in the ways of stakes. You don’t… really have flaws, you know, like a human being. If I took a shot for any time the group in question ignored someone elses actions, or wrote around them as if it never happened, I would be dead. It’s cheap and it comes across that you won’t accept anything anyone not in your group does or says. That’s not even going into your powers…

Again, I hate to be rude and blunt, but you’re taking obvious shitposts and memes to heart. Uh… don’t do that? Drop the victim complex.
So there's my perspective, have fun I guess.
I don't care anymore. Have fun in this cancer site.
This is the second time you've said that Reaper :thinking:
You do realizes that the mature ones are the ones who stay, face the situation and deal with it. you're just fleeing from it all.
*shitposts happen*
"THIS IS HARASSMENT, IF YOU DON'T LIKE US, TALK IT OUT"

*has an actual discussion*
"THIS SITE IS CANCER, I'M LEAVING"

That's just called being simpleminded.
Ami
Look I think this Leblanc thing very much got blown out of proportion.

Simply put, the general rule of thumb is if you aren't the person who started the thread, you have no real grounds to tell someone to leave. (And I know some on the mod team think even if you are you have no real grounds)

But we DO have the power to simply ignore things. If someone frustrates you by not knowing things you'd assume baseline, just ignore them and trust me SOMEONE will try to explain it (I know I try often to explain these things to newbies). Or if someone is doing something stupid in RP, you can ignore them.

But yeah.... to put on my Gamma hat here and be perhaps a bit rudely blunt, there is a lot of stuff in your RP that is ripe for parody. I mean pulling magic potions out of midair, magically knowing the location of someone who left hours ago, a vast overflow of "edge." I actually know the person who made the God Man account and they said that they did it specifically to try and tone down the grimdark and edge that the whole "Naho Dies" plot was triggering.
Good post Hibiki. that's why we love you, that's why we admire you!
Hai @Ami. Haven't seen you here in a while.
Either that or you were just in bluehairedemo's rp thread and nowhere else. :thinking:
Though I do worry that my... Actions encouraged the shitposters to fully take over threads, I still do not regret making this account.
Showing up anywhere as Yu causes shitposting, it's both a blessing and a curse.
Yu know it~
Ami
Sorry probably should have posted that under my main.

@Migrant
Gonna be really salty if none of the others see this after I spent the time to type that.
I mean. That is if and only if they decide to face facts.

Reaper. Would be exhibit A of those who don't.
Gonna bump this for that sake of Hibiki
Exhibit A would also be an example of why discussions never happen.
The ends truly justify the means, by all means!
And agreed Hibiki. It is rather...it is disheartening.
God-Man is the savior we want and deserve.
Rollerblades in.

"I think you mean Beer Mom is the savior you want and deserve."
Hope you all got it memorized!
Ahem. I brought in the Accords. No I mean it's fine.

But I'd have to agree with beer mom. Curse my vices.
Since ive been offically warned, im gonna take a "vacation"... to calm down. Hope you guys enjoy some time without me...








Oh, who am i kidding? No one cares about me but my parents. Heck, not evem I care about me! You guys are gonna have a flipping PARTY without me!


*internal sobbing intenisfies*
I feel bad for you
I am inclined to doubt for the same reason I doubted Reaper.
This isn't the first time they've said something like this. So excuse me for being my insensitive self, but it really feels attention-seeking to me.
Some people take insults personally even if it is just a joke or a meme or whatever so it's best to consider their feelings in this too
similarly some people like to act the victim so they get more attention, it makes them feel special for people to notice them for how "wronged" they are. Simply put, I'm a cynic, to me this feels like the latter situation, not the former.
Well it seems like we have a difference of opinion on the matter
If it helps them sleep at night than good for them.

It just goes to show that some people are truly caught in Exhibit A.
Arguing about this will get us nowhere, I'll just leave it at this they should PM each other apologizing before it becomes a problem
I personally don't want others to get banned
It only becomes an argument when one party refuses to listen and instead lashes out.

So by all means you are correct.

Scary.
Yeah
I would weigh in, but Hibiki said what I was thinking. So, good on you Ms. NotMod.
Ms. BestMod you fibber.
Wait what?
This became way bigger than it should have, well, that's the way things happen. I'm sorry none the less though since I feel like I might partially have been the cause of all this.
Thank you Red.
I will fight you haz
He is too dangerous to be left alive.

Kill him.

DO IT.
Mod Fight! Mod Fight! Mod Fight!
Haven't they fought several times already? Lets face it, Haz is probably a better Blazblue player.
@Tony_Stark
This is where I'd post the CHinese version of that line. But I haven't seen that part.
You fools.
The irony of this post starting out seriously and then it went to shitpost.
Really getting out of hand.
Sam
Yeah...
Well we had the talks. Well we had something.
Happens with everything.
I think we can agree my post was the best though and should be memorialized.
:thinking:
