what could anyone possibly have against Lab? They haven't had wank and there's never been any major controversies or problems. What about it makes it a "containment zone"? It just has players you don't like, is that it?

nothing wrong with the game itself, but has very lax app standards.

hence why players like blue/weefolk who have been unwelcome at most other games (including folkmore) are there instead

+1 lab's been wankfree as far as i can tell, power to them, but there's a handful of players on the taken list that are boring writers, or are kind of neckbeardy and obtuse. harmless, but, wouldn't blame anyone for wanting to avoid them.

i don't think blue is harmless, I believe they were banned from most games for being inflammatory levels of difficult

Lab is wankfree partly because nobody speaks up when they encounter issues. I transitioned as a trans person and they insisted that if I stay, I state my deadname everywhere when speaking. This made me uncomfortable so I left.

uuuhhh wtf? details, please? they refused to allow you to change your handle?

They insisted I put new name/deadname everywhere, including in the chat display name. Apps, taken pages, meme posts, everything.

do you have receipts of this?

So no receipts huh?

You really need to stop burning bridges and lying on people for attention. So much of dw was on your side with all the shit jess pulled, and this is what you continue to do.

To accuse a mod team full of gnc people of something this heinous with no proof is really shitty.

This didn't work out the way you wanted it to did it?

we don't know it's really mandy and not just someone so hungry for wank they're making shit up. for all we know this could be jess.

just as we shouldn't consider an anonymous comment enough to be a point against the lab mods without proof, we shouldn't do the same with anyone else either

mandy might change her handle every time something goes wrong, but calling her alts deadnames doesn't sound like her, especially since she still uses she/her. there can be more than one person prone to complaining without evidence

+1 anons regularly admit to stirring shit here just because they're bored, so i'd take this with a heavy grain of salt

lmao this is a fucking lie.

did your old handle have any history of bad behavior associated with it?

yeah, and they also shot my aunt's dog and ran over a baby stroller.

if you had proof of this, and it played out exactly as you stated, you would have 100% brought it to wankgate immediately since you clearly already go here.

literally the only instance i can see of this happening and being accepted is someone like g/gsai/gonsai whose handle is already a fakeass word and a change would be seen as an attempt to pretend to be a different person to avoid their reputation, not leaving behind a deadname.

the only person i remember having a double name in the discord when I was in lab was "Savvy/Mandy"

is that Mandy of Jess and Mandy fame?

yep.

oh that would explain some things

I'm not sure that makes this okay though. Maybe for a couple of days but not long term.

go away gsai

yeah fm hasn't either, but they're not picky about how well someone writes, the only app standards are if people are assholes and not if they're decent RPers

there's only one or two players who stand out as particularly bad imo but that's ymmv

the game has a cool concept and started with good players, the mods seemed invested. cool ideas! i liked the game for a while even with things getting iffy, but ripped the bandaid off a couple months ago.

the players who write good and fun tags aren't very active and are also the minority. most of the game is just boring, though, so it's not like there's juicy wank. the bad stuff is boring too.

it does have a high concentration of players who get uncomfortabley intense about their canons and how everyone else is wrong about their blorbos. it's probably not even a half dozen, but the clustering together makes it stand out more.

there's one player who makes a big show of joking about how his characters and himself are so unlikable and ties it back to shipping a lot. woe is me and all that. i dealt with that in a game before, it gave me the ick there and it gave me the ick here too

the mod team is almost completely new mods from when it started, which is where app situation changed from the kind of low standards a lot of games have to no standards at all, kind of. but weefolk was one of the earlier appers too so who's to say
