i assume theyre talking about Art, who seem to have gotten booted from Folkmore after behaving like a socially inept bulldozer for ages, and blames the boot on some joke they apparently made

if it's art there must be pastes

there would be pastes but the comments got deleted. art's joke was asking another player if they had apped a real au or if they're just a tumblr fuckboi au. since it's pretty rare any mod team boot someone for just one incident you kind of wonder what other drooling stupidity happened.

literally art waited until the mods were asleep and then was an asshole multiple times (that's what we call a joke, art, "mods are asleep post x" is a joke not "actually pick on people") and the rules include

"We will ask players to leave the game if we are provided evidence of a player being hostile, abusive, inappropriate, partaking in dogpiling, wank, or projecting bigoted ideologies"

since art hit essentially the whole list in the last month or two the removal was a given but nah it was a single joke

I must have read it differently than you. I thought they were asking if the character was as tumblr babygirl as he was in the original book which is the only reason I didn’t speak up when I saw it.

nope it was definitely an or, and it disgusted a lot of people. but that was the end of a long line, not the entire reason they got kicked out. by far. they frequently were reprimanded for being super negative and stressing everyone out

and my respect for folkmore's mods has gone way up. not that i had any particular beef with them, it was just a neutral view that has turned positive because unlike milk, the current team booted art instead of making the playerbase suffer.

current mod team (sil and kit at the very least) is responsible for letting art in and even let them co-mod for a while, one of the head mods also shipped* with art's character and art's character's spouse lol none of these people are terribly smart.

*played out dates and smut with, for that one pedantic anon that always cries about how it wasn't "shipping".

No, anon who is most likely Art trying to muddy the waters and control the gossip, they're not. Milk is. Milk added them as a helper mod, too. Kit, Sil and Meghann were the ones to remove them for not doing shit and probably also for being fucking obnoxious. We went over this already in this or the last wg post with multiple people corroborating the "Milk added Art and the current folks removed them" thing.

I won't touch the other thing though I don't think it's true either I don't particularly care, writing smut with someone doesn't actually mean you're friends with them. But considering Art is already spreading bullshit around plurk about being utterly innocent of anything ever except one unfunny joke can we try to keep the deets dropped here less repetitively wrong before Art tries to tell everyone that wankgate backs them as a wonderful person to play with because that seems to be the kind of leap they take.

If there is even anywhere left Art is not banned from.

IS there anywhere left art isn't banned from? they're kind of firebenderjess tier not ever going to improve at this point so nobody needs to give them any more chances

even if it were the current mod team who allowed art to be a helper mod, it might have just been because no one warned them not to. all three are covid era joiners of dwrp (not the site in general, but specifically public panfandom dwrp, before someone reminds me kit was in alternity with denise again, yes, they've all been around dw but that doesn't mean shit, we aren't the only users or the only rpers here) and art was remarkably mild for the first year of folkmore being open with more of their dramatics being pre-pandemic. there's no central database of "these are the bad people to always ban immediately and never give another chance as they don't change" that new mods are pointed to. no one newer looks at anon comms, don't even delude yourselves into thinking wg/rpa are resources for that kind of info, half the shit on here is made up in the moment and lacks credibility. which is fine because everyone knows wg has no credibility, but be real about it.

my point is we can only jokingly blame mods for not being psychic about problem players, not seriously expect it.

this was probably way too constructive.

you're deluding yourself if you think the head mods of fm don't live on wg. epi and kit are easily the most obvious. every time.

ehhhh i assume no mods of any games go here, because it's way easier on their sanity not to. all i really know about these mods besides the game is that they have actual careers so they likely have better things to do than live on anon comms. but less about them in particular, you walked into MY internet pet peeve: if you've decided you recognize someone because of ~*~ tYpInG StYlE ~*~ you most likely don't. every comment here looks the same. it's a mystery what country someone is posting from unless you can see IPs, you're not IDing individuals. and if a reply looks like a total pastiche of someone in particular or is absurdly defensive it's more likely bait.

obviously i could be wrong since i don't know any better than you do. but we'll never know.

everything you wrote is more or less correct, except for the extremely laughable "no mods go here"

i've modded in the past and whenever i'm modding i just don't come to anon comms. but i have friends who have modded and go to anon comms during that and they usually have a less great time?

I went here when I modded but my game never had huge wg threads. It didn't really do much other than giving me an idea of what people might be grumbling about that hadn't made it into namespace yet.

the current mods are solid and the spouse's player's only clear bad decision was to ship with art. they haven't dropped despite art trying to get them to so maybe they noticed the same thing everyone else did and are getting out of the ship.

are you the same person who claimed Sil wrote smut with Art last time, because they still didn't and it's a really bizarre thing to fixate upon. it would be even more bizarre to fixate on had it actually happened, I wouldn't want someone so focused on who I did a smut thread with that they brought it up repeatedly as some kind of character judgment or even want to acknowledge that other people read my smut threads, but still weird when it's easy enough to verify via character tags that it didn't. why do you care so much about this imaginary smut thread.

you're the one that sounds obsessed tbh. go to bed kit.

stop trying to hi x your way out of this and make them look worse than you, art. epi and kit don't harass people. not everyone thinks everyone lies about everything.

Accusing everyone you disagree with of being Art is hypocritical, don't you think. Your own weird overinvestment is what's getting you hi X'd.

ayrt

that was my first comment in this thread. no one had disagreed with me until you just did. you're probably not art though, the east coasters are all asleep

was art the person who was the source of the infamous "i forgive you for defriending your players" meme?

Sure is.

yep.
