252: imagine all the tags sitting neglected in inboxes for this

look, you keep trying to take the logic-driven troubleshooting approach at a time when the only humane response should be compassion.

idk the game or mod, for all i know you are right and this is the thousandth and first time they are late on mod tasks and failing to communicate. the thing is, now isn't the time to make a big deal out of this, which you are. read the room: they have had to cope with covid and a bereavement. they could be satan and you still shouldn't be dragging them through the mud right now. and before you say there was no way to know about their rl circumstances - you know now, and you are still doubling down.

just stop. exercise some self awareness. realize that whatever feedback you want to bring to them or anon comms about their modding can wait until january. you're being the equivalent of "but did you send the tag??????" right now.

i forgive you. for ~~defriending~~ not communicating with your players.

Really wish this community had cared to this degree with previous mods years back.

it's a few days before christmas and someone is having a tanty about a mod who is going through a nightmarish time irl not being fast enough with their dreamwidth role playing game

not the same as us ravenous wank hyenas wanting gsai to quit rp

there are more games than just jigoku and noctium who've had anon mods outed. many over nothing. there are also numerous other players who have been dragged on these comms during hellacious irl circumstances. not excusing it, just wish these standards had been in place other times than now.

don't complain about progress

nah go fuck yourself.

wanting some consistency from rpers about how you all treat mods is hardly "complaining".

and how much "progress" really is it when this kind of defense is only given for one mod out of all the other ones out there? it's playing favorites and parasocial af. hth.

i've defended every mod i have ever thought needed defending on here and i will continue to do so, you can kindly go fuck your own self with that attitude

'playing favorites' with what, dude?

most of us have no idea who these people are and are just passer-by commenters. you want consistency? wankgate has never been a monolith. do you think we all gather round and sign a code? fuck, did i miss swear-in?

i'm not in the game and I'm the anon who brought up the mod asking for helper mods lol. i don't know this mod to "play favorites," i saw something I thought was wrong, like a lot of people did apparently, and responded to it.

some of you have got to grow up past middle school and high school. all of this talk about favoritism and cliques whenever something upsets you is childish and tired

Consistency in how we tteat mods... Wait do you think the anons on wankgate are always the same anons? Sorry but I think it's more likely that most people come and go, and you're just one of the terminal cases tbh

honest question, what kind of reaction are you hoping for? if you felt this way at the time, i hope you made the point and that you are now glad that the tide of sentiment is turning. but 'whataboutism' isn't really necessary right now.

sorry - i'm not ayrt, mislabeled my comment.

"and that you are now glad that the tide of sentiment is turning"

this is so grossly patronizing and you suck for writing it.

the kind of reaction anyone here should want is for the same energy and consideration to be given to any other person in this hobby when they are going through heavy real life shit. but the truth is: that doesn't happen, and it's disingenuous to act like it does.

plenty of you demonize mods and want them to hand over their games for falling behind and go on to treat players with even less thought.

there's no "tide" of progress here. if anything, rpers now are more selfish than ever and you guys are only coming out to bat for this mod so hard because you want this game to keep going. you're delaying the inevitable, and the mod should've just stayed away and tended to their life in the way they wanted to, instead of being guilted back by a bunch of assholes who couldn't just go find a new game.

ffs get a grip. you don't even know who's in the game or not

im negl chief wg sucks but you have the energy of a jilted gsai-tier wanker deluded about their bad behavior and desperately trying to claw back some validation from a community that does not like or want them

my guy, the amount of off-base projection, vitriol and sheer anger in your comment is too vast for me or anyone in an anon gossip community to untangle. my point is and remains: yes, anons (including me and you, because we're both here) haven't always been the kindest. but let's not try to derail the conversation: the current mod who was getting lambasted deserves a degree of human sympathy. let's not take away from that by going into oh, but what about all the other mods.

i don't know every single instance the anon who made that point was referencing, and i've personally always stepped in - as i did this round - when i felt a mod or any other rper was not being treated fairly. the fact that increasingly more and more of us are doing so and able to speak up on this occasion that, hey, someone suffering a bereavement and convalescing from a sickness deserves grace is something that should be welcomed. if you can't see that, the problem is you.

i'm not in this game, as i've mentioned in previous comments. idk the mod, maybe all the criticism on rpa about them was valid. i still stand by the belief that whatever feedback needs brought to them can be done so in the new year, after they've had a period of tlc, because rl has screwed them over in ways that doesn't need exacerbation from an unpaid hobby.

you sound incredibly fat

Not saying you're entirely wrong about selfishness in rp, but it's so funny that you bring up selfish rpers while you're tantruming about mods getting understanding and patience here when that didn't happen to, ahem, totally not you in the past

tbf most anons were on the side of the mods when a wanker outed the noctium mods, both here and on the ooc post.

can't say the same for jgk and at, which seemed deserved due to the shit they were pulling.

anon mods are an understandable response to a constant background radiation of shitty entitled players

being suspicious of anon mods is an understandable response to a checkered history of shitty boundary-abusing mods

yeah there are upsides and downsides to both styles of modding. i don't fault mods for wanting to be anonymous, and i don't fault players for not feeling comfortable apping to games run by anon mods. i've seen both done well and both done horribly. it's one of those things that i don't think will ever have a surefire answer to avoid drama.

yeah i can't really remember what games had anon mods that were outed due to wank/wankers beyond those 3. there might have been others, but tbh i haven't played in many anon modded games.
