Okay be fair that was a really funny insult

Donā€™t worry about it. I personally stopped caring the moment she accused me of being a sexual predator and a dangerous person. Which is soo far from the truth, it made me laugh from just the sheer absurdity of the claim.

That bridge is burned. Though looking back, I probably shouldā€™ve seen the red flags sooner.

But live and learn right? :smiley:

it was constructive criticism not an insult. I was not trying to hurt you, more redirect your focus on something constructive and not destructive. I donā€™t know how I come across in text and I have been told that I come across poorly in text. itā€™s something i am now working on. I can be curt and matter of fact and thatā€™s my problem to fix.

i canā€™t be really mad if your insults make me laugh, that one was a good one.

Ren;

In what universe is calling someone uncreative and unobservant supposed to be taken as constructive criticism?

You called me unimaginative so I immediately fired back with a creative insult. Because of course I would. Youā€™ve met me. What did you expect?

And you do it with a strangerā€™s face. So Iā€™ve no reason to not tell you to piss off or assume the benefit of the doubt.

Whatā€™s the reasoning here? What was the response you hoped for?

I think the general idea of trust levels are a bit odd, just in the sense of it doesnā€™t stop trolling which I would think would be the point overall, and within that structure of trust levels on the forum the likes make no sense to be restricted. Neither does flag limits imo because if tons of people are saying awful things you should be allowed to flag it, if you are abusing your flags then that would also be seen by someone(?) idk.

The limit thing to me is weird on both likes and flags.

Rhaenyra and Alicent fans can both come together and appreciate Rhaenys and by extension that she should have been named heir at the great council.

Itā€™s fine, itā€™s like the rest of the forums which Iā€™m used to. Though idk anything being reference or anyone so Iā€™m just scrolling past any stuff that seems tied to the drama. I really have only commented on the story forums in a couple occasions overall prior to this and once was bcz a GD thread got moved lol.

Actually the last time I was in this thread itā€™s cause I was randomly looking for Euphoria discussions - then came back bcz I was looking for Rings of power in the search bar lol

that was not the first offence, You made a call out post about me. Your Calia posts felt like personal call out posts. You made me feel crazy and instead of telling me you didnā€™t agree you created a new thread and hinted at replying to me. You implied I was crazy, I tried to explain to you that I was autistic and probably didnā€™t understand your social queues.

Anyway itā€™s not important anymore, I am probably going to be banned because of the 5 of them, But I should have told you I was hurt and given you a chance to make it right. Highsight is 20/20.

Saw someone recently confess they caught a ban for abusing flagging, so that definitely gets checked.

Trust level 3 definitely exists to try to offer an incentive for good behavior, but I donā€™t think it works and they really just need more moderators. Thereā€™s a forum just for trust level 3, it is incredibly boring. Itā€™s a paradise compared to GD, butā€¦ Iā€™d rather GD just be usable. However, a key issue the forum is built to stop is bot accounts, which were a plague on the black-background version of the forum.

Well yes, but the flag limit is only 5, and there are a lot more than 5 awful posts a day.

Ren youā€™re reading between lines that arenā€™t there. When have I ever minced words about my opinions on people? Iā€™ve said to peopleā€™s face I donā€™t respect them or find their opinions valuable. Ill let you know if I donā€™t like you in express terms.

Weā€™ve openly fought over Sylvanas before and I didnā€™t mince words on how I felt about your opinion there. Why would I be sneaky about it all of a sudden?

Iā€™m not trying to be rude here but this really doesnā€™t mean much to me. No social media does. I like posting what I consider to be funny or thoughtful things because I like entertaining people. Thatā€™s my sole motivation here. I could drop dead right now and itā€™s unlikely any of you would ever know so Iā€™m not that hung up on parasocial relationships, at least not enough to be duplicitous or schemeing about it.

I absolutely adore your writings about the forsaken. Itā€™s really sweet how much you love and adore the race. And your takes are often funny, even if we sometimes disagree :dragon:

I have reported precisely one person. And only because of a sustained campaign of RP event griefing. And even then it made me feel gross.

I donā€™t much care for snitching. But if you donā€™t give me an alternative and are determined to be malignant, what else is there to do?

Iā€™dā€™ve preferred to just arrange for him to be camped mercilessly. Thatā€™s how we used to solve things. But that damn warmode feature screwed that right up.

She might not be able to respond for a bit, because one of her posts was deleted, and she may have been banned.

I just hope sheā€™s doing alright. Idk Iā€™ve gone on mean streaks where I tried to rudely push people close to me away. And it was for the express purpose of hoping itā€™d make them miss me less and not because I had some exciting new opportunity elsewhere.

So I just find that behavior really alarming. I genuinely hope she gets better.

Iā€™ve also had some ā€œalarmingā€ behavior in this lounge. I also hope she gets better. I miss the old her.

You guys are certainly better people than I am. She crossed a line with I will never forgive her for.

Well, I donā€™t have to forgive her, no matter how much better she gets. I miss our friendship, thatā€™s all.

I know. And I know it hurts to have someone you considered a friend turn on you out of the blue for no reason.

I honestly wish I could wish her to get better. But I honestly donā€™t know if this version of her is the real her or sheā€™s truely sick and does need help.

Like I said. Better person than I am for wishing her to get well.

No healthy person burns all their bridges the way she did.
