Bannings

It’s generally in your settings server by server. You can allow folks from some shared servers to DM you, but not others. But it’ll be in your settings on that particular server, not your general personal settings.
Yeah. There’s a general “allow people on servers I’m on to message me” setting, but there’s no “allow everyone to message me” setting. They have to be your “friend” first.
OH. I see what you mean, yeah.

My reaction to the messaging blocked people is very restrained. I am defending myself directly from harassment.
Totally get the emotional investment. But @-ing someone on your blocked list is not a good look. <.<
Oh, totally right. I don’t have him blocked here, because I would not be able to see his posts and he threatened me with posting stuff. I have him blocked on other platforms, so this is the one he came at me on. Sorry for the lack of clarity there.

@IoleRae I get it. But you also weren’t the only one. I mean, not to name names, but admin had said to drop it and people kept it going even after. Even before he ever posted about the discord thing.

Speaking only for myself and only informally, I’d appreciate if we put a hold on talking to/about hobos for the time being. If you please.
-
@Pavel Will do.
-
Everyone, I’d like to ask that we please stop criticizing people about the hobos thing. This is an extreme situation that at least one of his victims is obviously still has a lot of personal turmoil about, so it would be cruelly ironic if we started trying to dictate their trauma response.
I think it would be more helpful to show support to the folks you’re criticizing, so they’ll understand the danger has passed and it’s okay to let the hackles down. Actually, now that I say that, I’m gonna go do it. 'scuse me.
My DMs are open if anyone needs an ear.

Hey all,
Putting my mod hat on for a moment. After talking with the rest of the mod team, we’d like to ask that you not include screenshots or links from MSB in this thread, or use this thread as a method to encourage, cheer, or organize action towards the other board. We know that people are sore about what happened, and this remains a place to vent about those events, but not to create or continue an atmosphere of cross-board drama. Thank you all!
As always, please feel free to discuss this decision in the discussion thread.

I bet the mod hat looks like a pilgrim hat

@Testament I don’t know who that is but I swear I just saw him in the cutest TikTok I’ve ever seen.

Belatedly, I’m going to add to the VulgarKitten stuff. She’s been doing this same thing for more than a decade, and I am both annoyed and irritated that she just can’t seem to grow the fuck up and stop hurting real people over pretendy funtime games. I am so sorry that she did that to you, @IoleRae ; all I can say is that the pattern seems to happen when she starts getting jealous because someone’s being a responsible feature/staffer and engaging with people who aren’t her.
I mean really, WTF? What is she, 5, and in need of all of daddy’s attention to the point of trying to throttle the baby?
So yeah, when I said I wasn’t going to be returning to RtA if she was the one drumming up support, I… wasn’t kidding. There are very few people on my own personal will-not-RP-with list beyond the standard bunch of idiot creepers, but she’s got pride of place at the very top. And had I had my way at RtA, she’d have been banned.

@Evilgrayson
I had my way at RTA -
Thank you. It helps me a lot to see that other people can read that I’m not the only one who’s had the particular experience I have had with her. It feels petty and awful for me to say the “trigger” for her was that she was jealous, but it doesn’t have the same feel when other people point it out.

@hellfrog every time I see choke frog icon, I smile. Thanks, frg and rae.

So, my father and stepmother live by this pond with all of these bullfrogs. And any time I’ve visited, it’s far away so I have to stay over, and their croaking is ~maddening~ you start to hear your own name or like an earworm song. But there’s also this huge feral cat that prowls the pond that my dad’s been trying to capture for years. And you’ll hear: “Ribboooot, riboooot, ribb-dsfskjfgsf!!!”
And that’s what choke frog means to me. touches heart
ETA: That wasn’t clear because I was excited. The cat eats the frogs.

One of the creepiest parts, to me, about her behavior at Arx was that she could have snuck back onto the game anonymously and been just fine. Unless you have been banned, we have no rule about not getting to make a fresh start on the game. But that wasn’t enough for her. She had to engage with not only people that made it clear that they didn’t want to play with her before and put in no contact requests to that effect but also people that SHE PUT IN NC REQUESTS for. We have had a few really gross creepers run through Arx, but she is by far the absolutely worst one yet, in my opinion.
I would love it if I never had to talk about her ever again, but that requires that she stop doing shit like this and I don’t think she is capable of that.
