@farfalla The only one I think you might have missed was ‘don’t send unsolicited dick pics to other players’. But otherwise, well done. Just need to add this list to the rules, since ‘don’t be an asshole’ seems to be up to interpretation for some people.

[farfalla]

@Herja Oh no, I didn’t see that one! What post is it, so I can add it?

[Duke Whisky]

I think it is this one was about Gailin.

[Herja]

@farfalla My bad. I didn’t include the bit about the dick pics because I was trying not to embarrass the dude (lmao, baby staffer Herja was adorable).

[farfalla]

@Herja Aww. To be fair it should probably be on the list either way.

There were definitely a lot of things that I didn’t include because they weren’t in the Do Not format, like from the one @Whisky linked:’ “Ur really pretty send nudes plz?” isn’t ok on any platform.’

@farfalla

ok but like, i do want you all here to know that you’re really pretty.

how else am i supposed to give that compliment and have you guys know i mean it if i don’t request nudes?

[Cornpopped]

14 is my favorite, because 10 billion is a LOT of people who immediately just cannot. I like to think I only cause 9 billion people to do that.

So long as you request nudes tastesfully.

“don’t ask the other player if they can inflict something potentially emotionally traumatic on their character because you want to avoid 'drama”

lolwut.

This is the best one to me because it’s inherently self-defeating. “Clearly, what would avoid getting involved in drama? More drama, brilliant!”

@Testament 9 times out of 10, players who talk a big game about hating drama looooooooove drama.

@Meg I don’t know about pretty but I could accept petty.

[junipersky]

Me running to see what the newest ban was about.

The most recent banning post made me laugh and had me thinking about all the banning posts that are formatted “Don’t X. Don’t Y. Don’t Z.” Like staff just demoralized and constantly adding new rules to the bottom of a list of rules that shouldn’t need to exist. So I wanted to see the whole list. So I combed through every banning post for any thing that was in the “don’t do X” format.

Yes. Usually as soon someone says this, my mental response is “Cool, cool, adding you to the list of Absolutely Batshit and Probably Not in the Good Way.”

Personally, I love drama. I don’t want to be involved in it. I just want to hear about it from everyone else. Tell me about your petty bullshit so I can feel better about my own.

That was beautiful. Thank you.

10 is absolutely my favorite.

It was me. I’m guilty.
