For fuck's sake, fill out the forms correctly! It's not that hard to take code that says [user name="YOUR JOURNAL NAME HERE"] and fill it in with the right information!

I am so goddamn tired of having to fix shit because players can't fill out things like their character info for the taken page correctly.

This is especially annoying because I use the taken page to put character and journal names on things like AC check, and I don't proofread that shit for people because they should know how to spell those things and should do their own double checking.

Then it shows up misspelled somewhere else and they bitch at me about misspelling it.

Bitch you did it wrong first how about you pull your head out of your ass and take care of your own shit.

idk I've done it right before and it still somehow ended up on the list wrong.

Why do you people insist on making completely irrelevant comments? Obviously I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about people who don't and then act like it's my fault.

If you're going to try to bludgeon the mod team into accepting some idea of yours, you should probably make sure you have the first fucking clue what you're talking about.

i swear to christ if i see anymore shipping drama in my game, i'm going to push for a new rule that gives all the characters barbie doll anatomy

IC drama, or OOC drama over pairings?

ooc drama. not going to give deets because wow that would be unclassy, but players that i previously thought were sane have gone absolutely nuts over this

And for the rest of the game, every post on the network would just be

"My diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick!!!"

I would be far more concerned with losing the ability to poop.

That could get ugly with a quickness

And I would not join your game. Shipping is fun for some of us. It shouldn't be your whole experience in a game, but removing it entirely takes away a lot of fun for a lot of people.

for fuck's sake i'm not serious about taking away people's genitals or their rights to ship. nor do i usually have a problem with shipping, because yes, it can be fun. i was just frustrated that i've had to waste a week dealing with crybabies whining about how jenny was kissing bobby behind the tree instead of jimmy

A+ reading comprehension, there, Webster.

players who expect mods to discuss every detail of running a game with the entire playerbase. especially when there's wank.

we're not here to provide you with deets, we're here to run a goddamn game.

If there's wank and you ban someone, you better fucking explain the reason for a ban. Let the player base know what it is you don't allow in your game. And if you're making a shitty decision, have the ballsack to own up to it.

Other than that, +1.

Some things are personal and should be skirted around. You should give enough information that players know that that's why they're not getting everything, but players are not owed every single detail of every decision you make.

At the end of the day, it's just a game and pleasing your players doesn't trump other players' personal lives.

If it's personal/interpersonal reasons, state that clearly. You don't have to go into details (even if wankgate will spend the next post and a half trying to play detective) but for fuck's sake, say something so people know that the mods are clear and certain in their reasoning.

players who expect mods to hand them everything on a silver platter and refuse to talk to mods about their players. they expect us to read minds or come to them some how knowing they have an issue.

If you have a problem with another player, come talk to us. We can't be everywhere monitoring everything all the time, so expecting us to just magically figure out something's wrong isn't going to work.

And if it's something minor that looks to be self-resolvable from the outside, I'm not stepping in until you ask me, so you need to ask.

Yes, this. Unless there's obviously a serious issue, I'm going to assume people can resolve their own disagreements unless they ask for mediation.

Even if I suspect things, I won't act until you come to me. I have a group of over fifty individuals I'm moderating, so I have to run the assumption that if it's bad you're going to confide in me and if it's not, you're going to handle it yourself.
