wankgate | 169: i just learned about this person and already i hate them

Reading this thread is a bit upsetting because I am definitely one of Those Flakes (I've taken frequent hiatuses, given week-old tags, etc.), and it's a problem I've been having for a long while. I really got a wake-up call a while ago with some crit and I've been doing my best to change my ways (I make tagging plurks and everything) but it really seems like an uphill battle as far as persuading everyone that I'm trying not to be the flake I was.

For a former flake, what should I do to show people I'm really trying to work on it besides just staying on top of tags? I'm worried I have driven too many people away and it's too late to change their minds.

keep up with tags and seek out new cr with players you haven't tagged before and don't know your rep. that's the only thing you can do, really.

It's highly unlikely you're going to get people playing with you again who you've already burned. They've written you off and moved on to new, reliable CR. Keep up with everything you've got going now, reach out to new people, and don't be surprised if the reputation follows you for a while. Getting a reputation as a major flake doesn't happen overnight. You also can't expect to ditch the reputation overnight.

if you did drive people away, which you probably did, you can't do anything about that but keep showing you can be consistent

staying on top of tags is the best thing you can do. that and don't harass people that you've flaked on in the past to give you a second chance.

by the time i've written off a flake, i never want to play with them again even if i still like talking to them about other things.
