@sunny I might be misremembering. Or I might be remembering the wrong book. It has been a long time since I read the books.
ETA: It was The White Dragon in which they explore Robinton also having feelings in return. Different thresholds for skeevy is fair! I just wanted to confirm which book it was in.
@evilcabbage so now we're right back to where we began. OOC ignorance can equal IC consequences, which some of us just aren't into.
I did make my suggestion. If I thought that she was expressing disapproval for their relationship, I would have asked politely, calmly 'Is there a problem, ma'am?'
I have actually come around to thinking that @Catsmeow actually has a better answer of talking to the couple directly and engaging them without engaging the other person.
Do you think it would have been rude to ask your great aunt 'Is there a problem, ma'am?'
I know people with tics. My sister has cerebral palsy that gives her muscle spasms. I'm not saying this is the case with everyone, but I can't imagine my sister's mental health would be worse off for being asked if there was a problem. (And I would hope if she did have a problem that wasn't related to the couple, she would speak up and say something!) Or she might have been confused at the question and said no.
But even that little gesture does something.
Let's ask this another way. As a woman, I face microaggressions daily from men. If a man is staring at my chest, do I say nothing? Do I just accept it because I am a part of this world and I am the stupid one for getting offended and upset and putting me in a place where I feel threatened or uncomfortable? I mean, he might legitimately have zoned out and just started staring at my chest without realizing it. Should I do nothing?
With great power comes great responsibility. It's kind of amazing. I have one screen just for mail and IMs, two screens of code, one screen that is the product that I am changing so I can test, and the last for streaming videos about Overwatch.
... >.>
Did I say great responsibility? well.
@thenomain said in criticism not allowed in ad threads is only enforcing a false positive, prove me wrong:
(edit) Not making a new thread. Man I want to give you people a place to vent, but I suck, I can't prostrate myself enough for you people, I can't manage to change myself, whatever.
i'm not asking you to prostrate yourself, theno. i'm really not. i don't wanna vent about you. i just don't think you understand how some of your posts have come off implying that people are horrible staffers. and if you think so, i mean, you can. but they are my friends and i am always gonna disagree.
(so everyone can take anything i say with a grain of salt, ofc. because i am not hiding that they are my friends.)
@Jeshin oh, not staff. There were a couple people who suggested letting unbiased third party person screen share. But yeah, I do realize that a lot of new, random people wouldn't do that.
I would. Because I am all about JUSTICE and BURN EVERYTHING THAT IS TRASH. But. When I was new to mu'ing, I would have definitely just moved on.
But then why wouldn't they go to like, the nearest pawn or resell shop and just get some quick cash themselves? That seems ridiculous​ to just leave it!

@faraday if someone is sexually harassing a person that they play with on your game through MSB, i don't think the median really matters. you're free to have your own opinion. i respect that you do. i just don't agree.
eta: and i'm not saying 'every bad person in the world'. but is your job as a staffer to protect your players against the staffers you hired or the players you have on your game? i think yes.
I'm not even going to answer that question. I'll just slip a 20 quietly under the table, yeah?

@faraday My milage does, apparently.
Edit: To clarify, my issue is with linking it in menus, not in a forum post. In a forum post, you're just saying, 'hey I found this resource'. Even if you had a page in your menus that said, 'outside resources' and had the link there, I wouldn't object.
But linking someone else's hard work in your menus comes off a lot like presenting it as part of your site, part of your work.
Eh. I live in Colorado. Don't worry; there's no legitimate reason that would give me reason to go to Ohio from here.
@mietze Yeah, it has been stated that while there will be some plots and GM-stuff that involve non-magic characters, that the metaplot is more focused on magic users.
Just to point out, a member here made this. @Glitch.
He is the one who should get some hat tips for it and credit, and he should be asked if he wants it linked from the menu and what icon he might want used. (I know he has his own svg icon for the site.)
OK, back just to get a post in b4 I am retroactively banned for necro'ing posts.
I am sorry if I am contributing to this feeling lately. I know that you are not blaming anyone, but I am happy that you are involved with my stuff; I am just having a tough time right now, myself, and that is including following up with people.
