Yes it's ANOTHER rant.

[Willow_Calypso]

Placing rants on a forum, for anything including what this topic originally started, is not a way to resolve the problem. All it does it continue to promote the feelings of discontent, while indulging in a session of finger-pointing.

I wasn't trying to resolve a problem. I was putting my rant into the mix, because I thought that was what the post was for - ranting. Next time I'll create another whole post for my rants. As I thought this was a session for discontent, as no finger-pointing was done.

 

[Black Fox]

Didn't say any finger pointing was going on, was as this forum is about ranting.

 

[DireWereTeddy]

Good-bye. I'm sick of this. I'm not putting up with the s or the two-faced.

That includes you Black Fox. You're the one who started the trouble. You had to stick your nose into the business of other people. It wasn't your place but you did so anyways. Congratulations on being an and first reason that I'm leaving.

I haven't been a regular visitor to this community in a long time, for years. But I can honestly say I understand why it's gotten so small, and it has nothing to do with the site being hard to find. It's the OOC treatment players get, especially someone who's only been on this site for two months. TWO MONTHS! And she gets verbally assaulted, abused, and slandered. Congratulations to this whole community.

Good bye. If there's anyone who wants to stay in touch with me, PM me on here and I'll make sure you get the requisite contact info.

 

[Willow_Calypso]

Don't leave the site, it won't resolve the issue. You're a good player, just a little rattled with what is going on.

And that's all, folks! Thanks for posting and reading and be ready to join us next week for another awesome show of Let's Go to Hell! Thanks!

No really, this would be a perfect time to lock the thread before someone else starts insulting. I started this thread to mention I was unhappy about something, and then a bunch of people invaded it and turned into their own personal battleground.

 

[DireWereTeddy]

Locking the thread won't solve the problem. And I posted because this is an issue for the community as a whole. As long as that sort of behavior continues, as long as the community as a whole allows it to continue, then the site won't get enough new players to stay alive. It will continue this slow downward spiral as such treatment drives away even the older players, like it's doing to me.

 

[Bari]

Amazing. Someone please lock the thread.

 

[DireWereTeddy]

Do you really not care about the fact that one of the players on this site was verbally assaulted and slandered out of character? Or do you just not care because you don't know the individual personally?

 

[Bari]

There's a time and a place for everything, man. I made this thread to share what I thought on a particular situation with you guys, a situation that's been left behind. And it's turning into some sort of bloody arena with you insulting people freely. So, let me tell you something. It doesn't matter how old you are, what slander and fighting took place days ago, it doesn't matter if you think we're all going to die because of whatever fight you had. This is not the place for it. Why do you think I didn't put any names in the first post of this thread? --or did you even read it? Since it's got nothing to do with what you people are saying here. So. I made the thread, I request it locked because I saw direct insults to people and I -don't- want my name splattered with petty online argument that doesn't even concern me.

And don't confuse things. Don't come to me saying anything like that "this mistreatment concerns us all" or whatever, because it doesn't, I heard both sides, and believe me, whatever flirting/communication problem people had does not concern any of us, it is NOT a paragon of what is "happening to the site" and it is NOT the fight of the year. This is not a reality show. And no, you didn't say anything of that. I'm covering it just in case you do, because, y'know. I want the thread locked.

 

[DireWereTeddy]

I'd like to know how you heard both sides, since neither my wife or I have said anything to you about it. And it's not the miscommunication that's the issue. That happens. It's the fact that two people, not even involved with said miscommunication, took it upon myself to verbally assault my wife and attempt to convince me my wife was cheating on me, among other things.

It does concern everyone, because the site is for all appearances unmoderated. Now, I apologize if I misunderstood the purpose of the thread. I thought it was so players could air any rants they had. I didn't know it was specifically for your rant. That said, if the Magi would prefer me to move this to another thread, then I will.

 

[Andion Isurand]

I just don't get it, I have never been exposed to any real mistreatment of any kind. However this conflict began, I feel that having a thread for it is better than having people leave the site without the rest of us knowing why.

 

[Black Fox]

Ranting is different then attacking players. Ceres by the way, you asked me what happened and I told you flat out, no sugar coating, blunt as I always am. Take it run with it, do what you will, I answered what you wanted. But, this thread isn't for personal F-bombs, and hell-with-yous to be yelled.

 

[Lonanae]

Let us all just drop it and move on. Everything has been said so there's nothing left. It's either you're hurt, or you're not. I agree, let's lock this thread. It'll just get nasty. Freedom of choice. Play with those you want or not; your choice!

 

[Magi_Gabriel]

I'm locking this thread because the original poster has requested it locked and because frankly I think it's the best possible course.

I would, at this point, like to draw people's attention to the Code of Conduct's view on harassment and therefore bullying, battering and libel campaigns.

Harassment of another specific person either IC or OOC. The procedure for this is simple. If someone is harassing you, tell them pointedly that you find it bothersome and tell them to stop. Clearly. Not implied. If they continue, use the ignore function, that is what it is for. And report them to a Moderator. Harassment is not a joke and will be dealt with severely.

The Code of Conduct does not specify all forms of harassment because frankly there wouldn't be enough space on the server to cover all the ways people can use human ingenuity to harass one another. But I feel I should bring attention to one aspect in particular.

If it is reported or otherwise brought to the attention of the Magi that people are using "general" statements to attack individuals on the site then we will consider this a form of harassment.

If anyone is harassing you then notify us at isrpmagi@gmail.com and include a sample (such as a copy and paste of the logs) immediately and one or more Magi will investigate the matter and take appropriate action.

Responses are sometimes delayed due to requiring proper investigation, discussion and action by the Magi however all reports are always investigated immediately.
