I dislike how Wankgate has gone from "I need to anonymously vent about things that bug me" to "TELL ME WHO TO HATE ANON NAMEDROP SOMEONE AND TELL ME WHY I AM LAUGHING AT THEM."
It's not about the deets, though. It's the people who are looking for targets to harass and laugh at. I don't mind giving deets when I'm ranting about someone or something specific, but the fact that there are threads specifically asking for people to laugh at is really unsettling.
agreed, it's one thing where someone is asking who they should look out for, as in oocly awful people like stormy or ken, but asking just to get entertianment by mocking is something else
i mean, at lesat get off your ass and look for them yourself first
this part prolly isn't what op means tho, sorry op
pretty much this exactly. I don't mind players being called on their shit, and I like that wank without deets isn't considered legit. but the need to back up your sources is morphing into this witch hunt mentality that has people spamming the shit out of minor offenders that wouldn't have even merited a namedrop a year ago.
actually, i think both are pretty bad. if you just want to play out a meme scenario with someone else, do it in the damn musebox. hell, re-post the meme there if you have to.
Who cares? They saw the meme and decided they wanted to play in it, and didn't see the need to bother making their own post. Why should they have to?
Jesus, I've never done this and I don't see any need to, but this mentality is fucking stupid. They are being absolutely clear about who they want to tag and who they do not. If you didn't want to tag them in the first place, you have no reason to give a shit. If you did want to tag them but they've made it clear they don't want tags from you, suck it up and deal with it. Either way, complaining about this is ridiculous.
I doubt you'll believe me, but I actually haven't. I rarely post in memes anyway and I usually post late when I do. I've realized that it's basically completely safe for me to post to a meme a day or two after it goes up, just not put "OTA" in the subject line, and literally no one but my friend will tag me. And the person I RP with most prefers AIM over memes most of the time, so we've done meme threads through AIM quite a bit.
But the few people I've seen posting closed threads to memes... yeah, I think that's odd, but they're not even characters I want to tag anyway, so I don't see how it's a big deal. I just don't see why people care. They could be posting to the meme, not saying closed, and just replying to their friend, and most people probably wouldn't even notice.
I want to namedrop someone I don't really know because of a lot of Wank popping up in several different threads, but it would drag someone I like into it because they would be suspect #1 for who did it.
