Post Your Pikcha

Getting ready for Haunt mode here in the next month. Got my Haunted House gear. I'll post another photo later when my contacts come in.

In Defense Of The Genre [Part II]

I'd like to add one more thing.

As an Administrator of my own website I tried to include accommodations for members with conditions. I know this is a little off topic, but I wanted to add on my A Moderator and Admin needs to determine if someone's behavior was out of cruel maliciousness or simply out of misunderstanding or something else entirely. People are not always simply good and evil and they encompass all shades of gray.

I have multiple mental health diagnoses and they do impact the way I communicate with people. I often have a hard time processing a situation, especially when people are jumping down my throat or it feels like someone is attacking me. Because I have a delay in process I tend to react instead of rationally think. But that's my atypical brain chemistry.

There's this notion with moderators on websites that they can't give people any special treatment. But what some people see as special treatment is simply accommodations and make the website a more pleasant place for people with disorders. As I said earlier it is up to the moderators to diffuse, and deflate a situation. Instead of simply handing out the bans.

And I know I am digressing the point. But since we're talking. I think that it is a moderators job to communicate with the members having issues with each other. To reach some kind of understand. I.e. in my case, it's a "I talked to so and so, he was having a hard time that day and felt that your tone of voice was rude and he lashed out, he didn't mean to do so but because of his condition sometimes he has a difficult day. Are you willing to talk to him?"

In the three years I was an administrator for the website I joined, I had a kid who had downs syndrome and an IQ of 80. When members had trouble with him. I talked to them both all the way through and I got him to understand by simplifying the issue, but I never once touched him with a ban hammer. Maybe a timeout to get him to cool down because I knew it can be difficult for him to process that situation. And I let him vent to me about the situation. But I never banned him because he had an impairment and that impairment he couldn't always be 100% in control of regulating himself to the website rules.

And no one on the website had an issue with it when I explained to them "Look he has downs syndrome and he has a lower IQ than the rest of you, in this case I know he upset you, but we can talk about this as mature adults"

Another thing is moderators letting members vent to them. There have been a number of times a situation has upset me. A moderator threatens a ban or a warning and I am still upset because of the situation and I get in worse trouble because I say something in a moment of anger.

All of this goes back to the Administration needs to be flexible and take in everything as a consideration.

I wanted to bring this up in this topic since we're talking about moderator behavior and such. And the moderators are willing to discuss policy with the members right now.

Show me what you got.

@The Harbinger of Ferocity

I know I was being metaphorically flower. But it is my point. The media, the organizations such as the white supremacist encourage a divide among each other and their beliefs.

But I also cannot condemn the actions of the current regime. Who are ignoring the fear, the panic, and the pain people have felt after this wake.

That can work.👍 @AngelofOctober

@Raging Ghost

Thank you.

Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

@vancexentan

As said I agree to an extent.

I hate it when people bring up this whole god damn gender issue thing in roleplays, or in games. I don't really care if the character, and or person wants to identify their character as an attack helecopter. Do they want to play as a male, or female character? Anything else can go into personality, and or history sections in roleplays.

@vancexentan

I agree to a certain extent, but leave room open for Intersex or Transgender.

@Cassowarysaur

Because Umbra is not human so his appearance required that I describe that. I also like to get someone's voice down because the photo cannot tell you how they speak, etc.

I don't have any requirements besides the ones on my interest check. Let me get the sheet.

And I ask you put the sheet on the Interest Check so we don't have big sheets before accepting gobble up the OCC. Thanks.

Metal Gear Rising~Deadlocked (CANCELLED)

Well, @AngelofOctober, what about tomorrow morning?

@Raging Ghost

That I can do. What are we talking though? I live in GMT, and it's currently 12:34 for me. I can get the sheet up by 10:30 am or 11:00 am. I sleep late. ha.

Because I work in the evenings

Metal Gear Rising~Deadlocked (CANCELLED)

Honestly I'm unsure @AngelofOctober, we'll worry about that once everyone has their character up.

Although I can assure you it will not be warp speed" posting.
But neither will it be one or two posts overall a day either.
Dinnae' worry, we will iron out that small detail once we are ready for the story to begin.

Also, I would really prefer for the remaining players to have something up by no later than late tonight.

I hate to issue "deadlines" but we have 3 other people awaiting the beginning of the Roleplay, and it's a bit unfair to make them wait a-whole-nother day or two.

@Raging Ghost

Sir. It takes me at least a whole day, to make a decent character. I had to make two characters for my own RP and still have to plot the IC. I was going to take the time to start making Crowds.

But even then he won't most likely be done tonight.

If that's the case I'll just take my leave.
