I for one always call in a GM to help me end my TS.
one time when i was a teenager i started a “sex scene” then called for a staffer to judge combat because i was there to kill the guy
you can imagine how smoothly this went and how many names i was not called
if batman wants to fuck nightwing i am 100% down and also would like to watch but prob that should not be happening at the sizzler is i think the point
lol lmao what a total fuckin mess
later, sluts

Once upon forever ago I'd try to get people I knew rl to play on games, wod & comic ones
the problem wasn't really code or whatever, the problem was that - tbh I have no idea how to say this in a non-insulting way:
Normal People find like 99% of MU Culture to be just totally repulsive
and for very good reasons; there are so few games left that people are willing to tolerate just insane levels of corruption and ineptitude and abuse bc "well there's not a better place and this one at least has players" and it just allows for ever worse shit to happen and honestly there's no bottom to the barrel it just goes down forever
And that's ignoring just, the usual social maladaptive shit that's so common on games that it's just taken for granted, the people who have no idea how to interact with anyone who isn't broken the same way they are and the way that geek social fallacies are like burned into the fabric of everything and not to be questioned
so i don't anymore & haven't for years

certain persons have gone to great lengths to skate right along the very border of what a written, explicit rule will let them get away with, and then choose to cite that rule back in the face of the mods when told to knock it off
literally the only person I have ever seen do this is you
if a bunch of different women who have no connection to one another say someone is a misogynist with such conviction they’re willing to abandon a community they’ve been part of for years it usually means it’s not a baseless attack
you sound like every game owner who’s ever showed up here to defend some creep they were enabling on a game
it’s gross and it’s why this place is going to end up you, him, and the three people who upvote your posts
@paris said in Make MSB great again!:
@arkandel This site enables harassment.
alt take:
this site is one of the only places some people feel like they're able to safely speak up about the abuse they witness or are subject to
yeah that's a ton of work and you're not going to find many people willing to go along with that like it's hard even to get people who are irl assaulted to go through the excoriation of a trial so why the fuck would anybody be willing to put up with it for a game?
esp when experience is pretty universally going to tell them that shit like "we need Hard Evidence" and "there's an Investigstion" are just synonyms for "lol w/e slut"
people should be nicer to racists bc the real racism is meanness
oh good
how the community has suffered for lack of a pillowfort

As for the rest of what you wrote, I'm not sure what will happen. We will see. Who is this place for? Whoever remains, I suppose. The people who've in the past come to me with complaints about stalkers or abusers visiting this site know my position on people who do that and how I deal with them.
You make them admins.

Let me make this clear: none of this was ever mietze's fault. I have taken and will take full responsibility for the choices I made and the actions I took. Don't put words in my mouth.
As for the rest of what you wrote, I'm not sure what will happen. We will see.
You have, time and time and again, said outright that some things were decided on by all three of you and very knowingly implied that everything else was decided on in the same manner, except for the paroxysm of bans you issued to essentially every active female poster for justly criticized you over giving power to a rape apologist, and then insisted that nothing could be done about any of it until she was back. The only person who thinks any of this is Mietze’s fault is Mietze, and that’s because of you. Because you put all of this on her.
No one is putting words in your mouth. You are not dumb. You knew what you were doing.

Okay.
Legit question, who is this for now? You made a rape apologist an admin and then banned everyone who had a problem with it, almost all of them women, and then blamed everything else on a third party who, alongside everyone else on staff, has since quit.
What do you think is going to happen here? Do you think anyone is coming back? Do you think anyone who’s been victimized somewhere is going to trust you enough to ever actually bring anything here, knowing you ruined 20 years worth of reputation rather than admit you made a mistake by elevating your misogynist friend?
You’ve been around long enough that you should realize what happens every time a sequence like that plays out.
And it’s never, not even once, been, “everything gets better because everyone calmed down, quit being such uppity bitches, and understood what they THOUGHT was reality was actually just their feminine delusions.”

@misadventure said in Question: Code of Conduct:
@prototart Then you haven't been paying attention. What you just declared is that you, and everyone upvoting this, literally think nothing else here has ever been someone skating the edge of the rules and violating the spirit of them.
No one, ever.
yes, correct, the only person I have ever seen go to lengths to violate every spirit of a rule and then spit it back in someone’s face because they allegedly remained within the exact wording is him

@ganymede said in Something Completely Different:
The recent changes to moderation levels across the board were the result of extensive discussion between mietze, Derp, and I. I am cognizant of their appearance, but it was the product of agreement between the three of us.
so why did you lie and tell people via DM that Derp would be removed
auspice was not bullied off
https://musoapbox.net/topic/1828/helping-out
when she joined
https://musoapbox.net/topic/2504/i-owe-a-lot-of-people-some-apologies?_=1652884563698&lang=en-US
and the post that she very coincidentally quit as staff after
it’s super funny because multiple people were told in DMs that Derp would be removed as an admin and that was just a lie and now he’s functionally running everything and crafted a rule that is basically just “don’t be mean to Derp, he’s just a little guy, c’mon”
and, like
for who? like who is this for anymore
this place is dead
everybody who actually posted is banned or said “wow, this is gross, bye” and even if those bans are retracted why would anybody come back when they’ve seen firsthand an admin policy based on narcissistic injury and gaslighting
none of this silent majority apparently intimidated by the mean girls appears interested in doing anything
so congratulations i guess I’m sure three admins and four posters will definitely make a vibrant community
