WotC WotC blacklist. Discussion

[Parmandur]

Black lists are pretty much what they sound like: people or groups you no longer hire, recommend, or associate with.

If WotC keeps one that they circulate within the industry, that's news to me, and I used to work there.

It seems to be a current regime thing...which raises the interesting question of timing. When did ENWorld get cut off, precisely?

Are you in the right thread?

Maybe not.

It’s been a really long time since you worked there, Darrin!

I don't keep an official blacklist, but I do have a list in my head of people I won't ever work with again. I think most publishers and/or companies do.

 

[Malmuria]

If people at WOTC have bad experiences working with a particular freelancer, I can see why they wouldn't want to hire them again. However, the sense I'm getting is that you can end up on a WOTC blacklist blocklist because of offending the wrong person or some other personal feud. And if they enforce these blacklists, it seems like exactly the context that would enable abusers.

OK, that's a bit of a statement to just lay out there. Sounds like something people need to dish on.

Is it though? Is it really?

 

[MonsterEnvy]

That's what I recalled being stated last time it came up in discussion here. I dunno what the deal is.

That's not what was said .

 

[Micah Sweet]

It's a tangent from the S&J abuse thread. A blacklist is a list of people who are to be shunned from working in a particular industry (or not invited to particular events/parties). That sort of thing. Apparently WotC has one, and EN World is apparently on it.

Maybe they're threatened by Level Up.

 

[Gradine]

I'm confused at to why we're talking about ENWorld being on that list; I don't see anywhere where Morrus stated or even implied that they were. It feels like people are jumping to conclusions...

Yes, but I do still hear things. This is a new one to me.
