bro

seriously

go touch some fucking grass

none of this at all is remotely deep

it was only a matter of time before lili started stinking the place up with her toxic crap

why are you so mad about this

agreed.

if they hadn't commented to the taken list and also hadn't tagged anything, then sure, they joined a game and ghosted, boot them. but this person made ac. they were clearly interested.

at the very least they should have been sent a message telling them that they had been swept and why. not left to see their name on a drop list and have no idea what had happened.

stupid player behavior for not following instructions. but also shitty mod behavior.

eta: or put up their noob ac comment, whatever, i'm not in this game. they showed that they wanted to stick around and did what was needed on the ac page

i hope the mods figure out who you are and kick your ass out of the game. entitled and shitty players like you make modding a nightmare and you don't deserve to be allowed to stay in the game

that's what sits poorly with me about this, not whatever the unhinged op was raving about. stupid player behavior doesn't excuse shitty mod behavior, simple as that.

and yet it's not dependent upon it. it's a step they want you to take, but you aren't given an invite access to the comm after doing both. you request permission. they likely do batch accepts because app rounds are a bitch and they've got a hundred things to do to adjust the game for it. so they accept and then hope people do what they were asked to do. they then find out some didn't, and those people are booted for lack of reading comprehension.

like you should be XD

judging by the list of swept characters they have a lot of lazy players who couldn't be bothered to do their ac properly.

i can't blame the mods for not wanting to go out of their way to cater to a playerbase like that. it's not hard to do your ac every month or hiatus appropriately. too many people in this hobby act like they're gods gift and mods should be grateful to have them in their game so they can just coast along doing nothing to justify staying.

not really. most of that list is the characters that were dropped last month.

it's not that deep. they gave the player the benefit of the doubt that they'll complete the rest of the steps, the player didn't, the player got swept as a result

why are you mad at the mods for giving someone a chance to play in the game the player apped into and got their app accepted fair and square? it takes a minute to make a comment on the taken list and your guy beefed it for a month. they never wondered why they weren't on the taken list? not once?

bro, chill. you're blatantly wrong and stubbornly persisting. no where in the acceptance notice that you cited does it state that it is a prerequisite to complete task A before advancing to task B. you're choosing to read it that way, which is bizarrely inflexible and makes me wonder if you also only complete your work chores sequentially over the course of your day, even when they are unrelated.

if you, for whatever your personal reasons, think that the mods should only allow someone access to game communities after they were confirmed to have commented to the taken page and made an AC post, that's a completely different issue you can take that to them as a separate complaint about the thoroughness of their vetting. but right now you're effectively criticizing the mods for not taking a precaution they never embarked on but that you would like them to.

"even if i wasn't a fan of her work, that's always a horrible loss to go through, she has all my empathy."

"It was literally 'even if I didn't know her, this would be horrible'."

You realize these are not remotely the same statement, right?

Weird ass choice of them to log in and say they didn't say something everyone can see they said.

you're the type of player who makes modding really fucking annoying

mod teams often have an idea of which journals should be accepted into comms after apps have been processed. it's not unreasonable that the mod team would accept a character journal before a taken list comment is made because 99% of the time the comment gets made within the same hour/day/week of acceptance.

should the mods have notified the player first? sure, it would've been a courtesy, but they shouldn't have to when the 'comment to the taken list' step is included in the acceptance notes already. just appeal the mod decision instead of making a stink about it.

that is not what you said. stop trying to rewrite history and grow the fuck up.

you've always been pretty self-centered but this is a new low for you. do better.

The mods could’ve given them a heads up before sweeping them out the game since they were active. It just seems like Ref honestly forgot to comment on the taken list, but I don’t think this was all wankgate worthy.

It’s been a tough month for some people, showing a little bit of courtesy wouldn’t hurt on the mods behalf.

Unfortunately, Ref just cemented they can never come back to Lab after dragging this whole mess here. It’s ban on sight after this.

idk, it looked to me like the player who started this was just mad Ref had been allowed in the game to begin with.

either way, it really isn't asking too much for a new player to the game to get a single reminder from the mods, and per the above, apparently the mods themselves agreed. the player has been allowed to return to the game without reapplying or any other penalties. honestly? good on the lab mods for doing so. this whole discussion just made me feel bad for them, because their playerbase seems to be foaming at the mouth, be it against the mods or in defense of them...

there might have been a chance for a civil appeal to be made to the mods about their player-notifying process here, but that's sure going out the window with the completely unnecessary tantrum being thrown here for all to see instead lol

if op isn't ref then they're sure giving ref a terrible look and making things 10x worse for them. and also making the playerbase look like a bunch of harpies who'll throw an anon fit at the slightest misstep instead of actually bringing up any concerns with their mods, yikes

oh it's too funny seeing people actually come to the correct conclusion but either be ignored or convince themselves it's untrue.

it doesn't matter how many times the truth was said right from the horse's mouth, either, about not being ref and not being upset ref was swept. of course it was all ref, obviously, not someone else in the game who didn't like ref, never wanted them accepted, and has beef with the oth mods.

you're all very stupid.

it's possible that a single mod who either doesn't like this player or is heavy-handed with their modly powers made the original sweep decision and now the sanity of the other mods has prevailed.

they come out of it not looking too bad, anyway. there's no proof that anyone anonposting here is in the game at all so i wouldn't worry too much if i were them.

i thought you said you were flouncing out of the thread, op?

is that supposed to be a gotcha moment? I came back to look because shit changed. the player got let back in, because some of the mods got scared and caved. it's bullshit but it happened.

yeah, we shouldn't be holding wankgate up as a source of true and unbiased information.

lol no but it's funny that i was right
