RP about me, not about you. Tell me how great I am. Don’t tell me how great your character is.

HR circles back to let me know the photo has been deleted. However, the male co-worker said he’s reaching out to his therapist about it and my female HR thinks that’s really good enough. As the photo was deleted and there was no harm.

Why are they centring his feelings. Wtf is this pickme ass logic. I assume he’s a grown adult?? Oh wow so sad he’s still working through his issues to not take an inappropriate picture of a colleague without consent. Poor him, hope he can make it through this tough time???

Because that’s the path of least amount of work for HR and probably exposes to the company the least amount of risk to a successful lawsuit.

Absolutely not. They should be firing him. They are exposing the company to wild amounts of risk if he does anything in the future.

@Muscle-Car Why do you think I’m always so eager to fork threads?

@spiriferida For L&L, really play up the politics, intrigue, animosity between rival families, and management aspects to the level that no one has time to knock boots on screen.

Demand characters have so many administrative skills, they become virtually unfuckable.

Joke’s on you, I’m into that shit

@howyadoin said in MU Peeves Thread:

Alright alright alright.

I just didn’t want this to turn into a discussion about policy when it’s not a matter of the policy involved but of obtaining consent under false pretenses.

You’re right. That sucks.

I just had the same reaction as @helvetica and was leaning back in my chair thinking about the the wild world of policies. Thinking about comic games making unfortunate rules about character gender and sexuality. IDK.

Our hobby sure is a place sometimes.

@Rathenhope Wanna break some laws?

I’m dying out here. What’s the policy?

ETA: Okay, okay, okay. A good and wise friend has pointed out to me that perhaps it makes sense to not want to say in all cases. Obviously lying to get TS is really fucking bad tho, okay?

@Faraday IDK, I’d just continue to call them imperfect tools. That just puts it at 1 false flag in 11 samples instead of it’s 0 false flags out of 10 samples. Still not garbage.

I think there are real issues in these tools, but I think it is a mistake to write it all off as garbage. Use it as a tool alongside human judgment. Try to use the best tool you can.

@Faraday

I don’t agree with your conclusions. From the same article:

Can AI detectors be trusted?

The results varied widely, and in some cases, dramatically.
Pangram and Originality.ai were the most reliable performers. Pangram returned 0 percent across all ten articles. Originality.ai returned 0 percent on eight of ten, with 1 percent on the remaining two. Both tools correctly identified every piece as human written.
Grammarly performed nearly as well, returning 0 percent on eight articles and flagging two at 7 percent and 9 percent respectively—low enough that neither would likely trigger concern in practice.

3 out of 5 did okay? They are tools to use alongside human reasoning. But demonstrably they aren’t garbage.

@RightMeow Discord tried to roll out user age verification by ID or facial photo in the US and were met with massive backlash

@Prototart said in Age Verification & Games:

They haven’t asked for mine bc my account’s so old, but I’m 100% out if they ever do. I don’t even trust them enough for to pay for Nitro, no way am I giving them my ID.

I’m not even talking about Discord’s age verification. I’m talking about RP servers on Discord being like ‘verify your age by sending us your ID’. I’m talking about users feeling like they need to do it.

ETA: I need to clarify. This is on top of Discord’s systemic age verification. This is an additional layer of USERS asking OTHER USERS in SHARED SERVERS to send them their ID.

Guys, do you know that if you want to RP on discord, people want to send you a picture of your GOVERNMENT ID?

It made me think about our community, age verification, age verification attempts of yesteryear. I feel like at a certain point I stopped saying all players should be 18 or older because I just assumed that anyone who showed up would be.

Do people still try to verify player ages? What do you do?

Now, questions for us:

The largest sentiment gap is by preferred game style – MUD fans average 3.53 while MUSH fans average 2.85 (49.2% vs 19.5% happy) (Table 10, Figure 10).

Why so unhappy, fam?

Thank you for doing this! It was fascinating.

I’m curious: you highlighted some areas the MUSH / RPI / MUD community varied. How strongly did you feel that difference in the data?

Also noted that you aligned MUSH and RPI results more than I expected. I’ve tend to think of RPI as a type of MUD. Do you find that RPI aligns more with MUSH or is it very much its own thing?
