plus a million. the people who give good tags back within a reasonable timeframe almost never do memes like that, but the people who drag their feet for weeks to give you [blinks] need love memes all the damn time

no more applications with words in them. only moodboards, playlists and memes. not like any of you meatballs will answer your tags anyway.

i think you misunderstood the point of this thread

Pass. It's a lot of work for very little gratitude.

you're the mod of a moderately successful game. you recently hired some helper mods to take some of the work off your shoulders. so far they have been helpful and good mods, but you have noticed some of your players becoming less active and pulling back from the game.

but then one of your players comes to you with evidence that one of your helper mods has been toxic and wanky in the past. they have clear screenshots of this evidence, which happened to them and is known to other players (but hasn't been brought to you before). they say they have opted out of the helper mods characters and have been trying to avoid them but this is becoming more difficult as the helper mods become more involved with running the game. they are worried that this helper mod will not be able to act without bias if they ever have a problem with the game and ask for you to mediate. they say that they are not the only player with this concern and it explains why some of your playerbase seems unhappy.

what do you do?

i would remove them and slap my own hands for not vetting people well enough before giving them mod powers. if people have opted out of playing with them in the game and they did not disclose this to you before you brought them on, they should be booted completely.

Cosigned on all this and at the end of the day, having a child is a major life event. Each parent will handle that differently: sometimes you get to keep the friend you knew, and sadly sometimes your friend will change.

Years before my mom had me, she moved away from her hometown because some of her closest friends started having kids and the dynamic totally changed. She didn't fit with them anymore. It sucks but it happens.

This is something the helper mod should have disclosed, especially if they would be interacting with players in a mod role.

Sounds suspicious to me and looks like they might be looking for ways to get around the opt outs or to make life uncomfortable for those who have. First priority is to immediately remove as mod without a doubt, ban at your discretion but I would do so myself. no point in risking it and they have already proved themselves to be untrustworthy.

AYRT was barely even about the dude

Unironically seek therapy

You're so close to getting it

I fucking new before I clicked who this was. Not even a damn surprise it's Naya.

as an insecure flake who doesn't do it, i cannot understand why the others do! why would i want to be reminded that i am slow and an anxiety chihuahua further by having no one reply, what are you doing people i never do memes because i know i will not get responses due to being the slowest rper on the planet. do other insecure flakes lack self awareness.

wait, that was a dumb question.

Bitter about the Rubi mods, huh?

what happened with the rubi mods? i thought the new mods were not wanky/there was no mod wank.

ayrt

no? this was inspired by a ljrp drama i was on the sidelines of years ago

there is no rubi wank in ba sing se

bitter about the rubi mods, huh?

define 'the past'. six months? 1 year? 5 years?

the people claiming there's no rubi wank are probably the same people responsible for the rubi wank. or they buried their heads in the sand.

i can't tell if some of you are deliberately misunderstanding to try and bait out more information, or if you're actually stupid.

there is no rubi wank *for you*. it's never escaping containment. if you aren't friends with anyone willing to gossip with you about rubi or give you an invite so you can experience it yourself, you are shit out of luck. everyone at rubi, and most other locked games, hates wankgate drama more than they hate whatever drama happens at their locked games.

try doing your own tags or experiencing fresh air sometime.

i want someone to do this. i want to see the playerbase that would result.

A player submits an application. The character comes from a series where everyone has complicated and over the top powers and their character is one of the very best and strongest. Think something like Fate Gilgamesh. Their app looks fine and nothing is wrong with it. Their personality is clear and they have submitted sufficient nerfs. However, you know the player is a power gamer. They always try to beat the game with their character, say things like their character can solve every event. They ask a lot of questions about how their character is really special and powerful so can they get special treatment in the game. If you turn them down, they'll complain about how the mods never let players do anything.

They wrote a good app but you know they're going to be a pain in the ass to deal with if you accept them. What do you do?

if you know this player is going to be a pain to deal with, it doesn't really matter what their app is like or who they play. you're the mod. you shouldn't need to write an essay on why it's acceptable to not let someone in your game. you just don't want to.

sometimes you just don't want to deal with someone you know is going to be a headache. life is way too damn short to grin and bear it. especially if it's your playroom. no. no headaches allowed.

so i would just decline their app. if they asked for a reason, it really depends on how avoidant you want to be. i personally wouldn't mind telling them that due to their past behavior in other game, i don't feel they'd be a good fit with mine and i didn't want to deal with their behavior. i don't want to have to one two three strike them out. i just don't want to deal with them.
