Reporting or not you still don’t need to allow the tea blog owners to be seen as anything positive

and that is also on the poll. please let your voice be heard there. i am not voting in it, so swaying me one way or another will not assist in getting your way. voting will.

hi, i just want to make an argument for reporting: it can be really harmful to victims to see their abusers/known abusers praised on this blog. it can be triggering or it can cause someone to feel as if their experience was invalid/they are crazy. i think its important to keep a list of those individuals and not allow them to be mentioned here. letting those people be mentioned could derail from this blog & cause more harm.

i understand this argument and am posting so you can be sure everyone else understands it as well. this is why it was what i did previously. unfortunately disallowing reporting is winning at the moment and if it does end up winning i will be following that. i will however also be continuing the tag system so you can fully blacklist any of those names/sites as well.

People got upset you allowed so much positive about the runners of tea blogs when they've helped cause so much hurt...

yes. i also allowed not positivity, where people could discuss the damage done by those very blogs. unfortunately, with these tea blogs, the entirety of it is anonymous. i can look into the credibility of racism claims on public sites super easily, but i can't look into the credibility of personal experience and anonymity. people make wild claims there and here constantly. because of this, i allowed both the not positivity and the positivity. because of that, people were upset so i put up a poll.

when the poll is closed, i'm just going to do what most people vote for. currently, not allowing reporting is in the lead (people can take reports to the tea blogs), which means not blocking any positivity that comes in (including about tea blogs), and still allowing not positivity and advice. if you disagree, please respond to the poll.

please fill out this form for where rpcpositivitea should go from here.

for the record, this poll will require you to sign in but it will not collect email addresses. this is to try to make it one vote per person, versus allowing the poll to be potentially raided, while still allowing anonymity.

it will also show you the current response charts once you have submitted.

the first question is a branching question so yes will submit the poll whereas no will take you to the next section of questions.

thank you.

I saw someone ask for the link re: Chris (SithLordofSnark) and I’ll provide the RP that I normally go to that has it all written out well.

I do want to caution anyone who reads this, particularly the legal orders as it is very descriptive of sexual abuse of I believe someone as young as 10.

I know this isn’t positivity, but as a mother and now admin I take this very seriously and make sure that the right information is out there. Sexual predators no longer have privacy and I want to make that very clear. This is not a case of doxxing. He’s on a list for life.

I have also been in contact with Discord and I imagine they will be removing him soon. As you can imagine they have to deal with this a lot.

Here is the link: https://www.starwarsrp.net/threads/high-threat-ban-parents-monitor-your-kids.152415/

And I don’t need to be on anon. I can be DMd for any further information either here, RPG-D (Madame Owl) or discord.

"why aren’t you posting my messages about namehere? fucking bitch, suck my dick" was sent in three times back to back.

and yet, i didn't get any messages about that person.

as a repeat, i will be taking a hiatus to reassess things, but as of now i have two options i am leaning towards and will be throwing up the poll soon

[rpcpositivitea]

To my friend Zak thank you for being there for me in the rough times last year and for always having my back. Its been a blessing knowing you for 2 years and more. I hope we are friends for a long time. 🙏 I am grateful to know you bro.

iotasage / sage on atmospheric, i know you probably are going to get some pushback for your rules but i just want to say it is SO refreshing to see someone set down very clear expectations about conduct. if i could join another site right now, i know i'd feel safe on yours.

[rpcpositivitea]

you don't have to publish this, but if we have a link to the old JCC doc explaining everything about Chris (SithLordOfSnark) and his guilty conviction, could we send that here and it be shared? just want to get the word out about him to make sure people know and haven't forgotten about the convicted sex offender among us

sure if you send it i will add it to the original post

[rpcpositivitea]

after about 150 hate messages in my inbox, i'm going to be taking a small break. i will let the queue run through with only the positive messages i have currently and will come back to queue other positive ones in a couple of weeks. during this time i plan to think on how to address this going forward. i will run a poll with the different options i come up with when the time comes. thanks for understanding.

[rpcpositivitea]

Why do you allow not positivity posts on here? I don't mean to sound confrontational! just wondering if there's specific things that get through?

this was how it started and since then it has been posts that seemed more important than they were negative, such as the psa about sithlordofsnark and messages where people were saying they no longer wanted to be alive. the last paragraph in the response to this is the best summary i have for why, but i also tag them as not positivity if you would like to blacklist them.

i delete far more negative posts than get posted though, so i do want to say that it is not changing the point of the blog and i am still sorting negativity out. some of the submissions, such as the advice and not positivity tags, may not be positive in themselves but some are not negative either or are seeking positivity or are just too important to bypass.

v, this past year+ we've been writing together has been such a blast! you're so talented at seemingly everything you do AND you're hilarious on top of it all. thank you for always checking up on me and being your silly, cheerful self with zero fear and shame despite everything. it's been great to get to know you and i look forward to lots more rp and goofing off with you in the future. mwah!!

Anyone who has any doubts about how gross SithLordStark is (Chris), just needs to google it for his federal charge and GUILTY court conclusion. The fact that BM has allowed him in there amazes me but...Sasha runs it so. Guess that checks out. Stay away from that place.

not positivity

update: misspelling - it's sithlordofsnark

[rpcpositivitea]

to the person spamming me about their negative interactions with burnie, i had your first message queued originally but after the second "you protect them to protect yourself" nonsense message, especially considering i have had the 'not positivity' tag for a while now, i'm deleting it. i'm sorry for what you went through and i'm sorry about your bad interactions with the tea blogs, but attacking others isn't the answer and i won't be party to it.

[rpcpositivitea]

Echoing the other poster about Gravitas' staff — really uncommon to find a court intrigue site that doesn't center around staff characters as the "main characters" with everyone else just playing supporting roles! It is very much an equal opportunity to engage, make significant impacts in the game, and weave a tangled web as the genre intended. Thank you to Vesper, Dani, Erin, Maxine, and Sam for encouraging an inclusive sandbox where we can make a mess in the most loving way <3

this might sound a little strange but as an admin, i really appreciate members who reach out in some way before leaving. just a courteous heads up goes a long way vs. the anxiety that comes when someone ghosts.

is there a preference between lore and rules guidebooks being hosted in google drive or notion versus actually on jcink? /// i would personally not like to go off-site for any site related content. in terms of organizing the info i know it's fundamentally not that different, but idk it just always feels a little jarring to be routed elsewhere. especially with drive, it wants to hook right up with my personal gmail account and i always get kind if a jumpscare about anonymity. if you do go with drive/notion, i'd recommend making sure it's a layout that works for smaller screens (some layouts work well on mobile, some definitely do not). best of luck!
