I thought this whole thing was completely juvenile and ridiculous. Almost everyone involved acted like children on the playground... That being said, Monica, I can understand why you wanted to lock that thread, but I don't think it's fair to attempt completely silencing someone for saying bad things about you. I've gotten to the point where I just don't have the emotional connection to my character anymore, it's impossible to play that way imo. I can't count how many times Beezil has been harassed or insulted, and back when I held those connections, I'd end up crying over it. I've learned though, it's sometimes better to just completely walk away from a situation for a while. Usually, when I come back, things look a lot more clear. I realize ignoring doesn't always work, but on the internet... it does wonders. ETA: Sorry if I am dragging this on in any way, apparently 5 new posts popped up while I was typing this.

Nobody has the right to drag someone out of real life onto a goddamn forum, no matter what the situation is. I don't care if the Pope has a character here. You're right. And who ever blew up her cell phone like that should be ashamed of themselves. I think the whole situation just got out of hand. And I'm really...I'm not shocked that David did that. But...man, some times I just -wish- people would think "Is this situation really worth crossing for?" Some people are just being downright malicious.

Agreed. I didn't know about these nudy pictures but really. The person at fault here is the player of Pulse. We all know that he's the one who took it way too far and posted something inappropriate. The rest of us acted accordingly. The thread was locked for the wrong reason, but instead of allowing the stupid situation to escalate even further Damia's human managed to at least sway the attention onto a different faction of the issue. For that, I think we should commend her. Had she not done what she has done, this whole situation could have gotten a whole lot worse.
Now then. Aside from that, I'm absolutely astounded at the lot of you for how this all went. Reena, I'm so very sorry that this happened and I promise that I'll do my best to make sure this doesn't happen again. The rest of you? Should be ashamed. You would think that such experienced players of this game would know how to not cross in such a blatant way. I just, cannot find the appropriate words in which to say that this is absolutely ridiculous that this went on as long as it did.
Fucking. Ridiculous.

I spent my evening being yelled at because by hiring mods I've ruined Bite. I've been told that everything I've done didn't count for the year and a half that I've busted my ass to make this a place people want to come for because it was "Louvain's laziness" and my fear that he'd delete the board if I fucked up that kept me from hiring mods. I've been told that I'm a bad administrator for hiring people I thought were capable because they're apparently "power hungry" for moving threads that shouldn't be moved and locking threads for the wrong reasons.
I'm trying.
The explicit stuff should never have been posted. This shouldn't have escalated the way it did. I'll make sure I make it even more clear what is appropriate moderating and what isn't. I'll keep moderation minimal. I'll do everything I can to make sure this stays a place people want to go but it's hard because I don't even know where I'll be living in a month. And the only reason why I wanted mods was to have someone to trust with this forum in case I ended up living under a bridge without internet.
Instead I've been screamed at for decisions I thought were good ones, bothered until I came home to fix these things, taken advantage of, had inconsiderate people blowing up my phone, and I missed the end of my best friend's concert because I had to come home and fix this.
There didn't need to be six million threads about this. I'm sure I'm missing some.
I'm trying. Really, really hard. I wish I could just maintenance mode Bite for a few days so people would realize how much it does do for the community and how hard it is to keep it up alone with all the activity it gets. I read every post I can find that has been made after I've gone to bed the night before. I try really hard.
And I'll try to fix it so people are still happy to come here. I didn't mean to destroy things by asking for help.

Where is the crossing? Or is asking that asking for can of worms to be opened. Cause, man... that would be pretty stink.
Am I failing to see the crossing ... or just generally just shouldn't ask.

Commended >> I think I'll take the rabid weasels that eat my eyes out please?
I really do apologize on my part. The first thread was locked because Virgo and I caught the links that had inappropriate material. Damari then posted, so virgo moved it to offtopic as it should be and I was simply going to let it be, but the insults and language grabbed my attention, so I thought to lock it temporarily until Coqi could come back.
Which was my bad and no doubt about it. *nod* And the only other thing done was Damari's post of Moderators moved to the editor since it seemed to fit.
So I'm not sure what deletion happened. But was not on my part.
Second. Whoever freaking yelled at Coqi to hurry back because the bite sucks now and yata yata, you need to check yourself. Yes I made a bad decision, I'll fully admit that. But screaming at coqi and demanding she come back is freaking ridiculous.

I think you made good choices in moderators. They all seem like decent people. I mean, granted, since Damari has IC issues with one, she'll probably play on that a little, but they seem like genuinely good choices for moderators.
How can anyone know they've ruined the board, they haven't had a chance yet to get their feet under them. I'm curious about who spammed Sirena's phone. But this seems to be the culmination of a day of harassment she's received.
They haven't ruined the site Sirena. Maybe people are just being too pessimistic

Sirena. Let me make myself clear. You. Did. Not. Destroy. Anything.
Do you understand me? You did not destroy anything. And the fact people are yelling at you is absurd. And I'm sorry, I think they deserve to be banned. You shouldn't be harassed this way. And if they don't like it, they don't need to be coming to this board. They are acting immaturely and the fact that you are suffering from it is making me highly upset.
What was going on in that thread was immature. It was disgusting. And it was malicious. The moderators acted as best they could in your absence and I don't believe you or them should be faulted for it. I understand why the other threads were locked. I'm not going to lie, I would have done it too. They were trying to prevent what happened in the severance thread from happening again. And I know they were trying really hard to make sure they didn't bother you over it.
You keep this board around because you know it benefits the city. Maybe you need to put it on Maintenance mood. I rather not be able to access this board than to have you being treated and stressed out the way you are.

Wow... Sirena... I'm so sorry. You do a damn good job running this place and if anyone says otherwise, well what do they know? I thought about offering a hand as a moderator, but I honestly don't think I could commit on a regular basis. I also don't really think I'd be good moderator material. Anyway, I think hiring new people was a great idea, maybe it will just take a little bit of time for things to settle back down, yeah?

Agreed with Damari and Damiana Since langauge isn't bad >> Fuck you. To whoever guilt tripped Sirena this badly. She did not do anything wrong. But thanks to your ass she's feeling bad because she thinks she messed up and on top of that this bs ruined her night. Like I told her, I have no problem being blamed for this and anything she chooses to do. But I am not going to sit around and let her feel bad because some moron tells her their never coming back because of this. In my opinion, if one locked thread and inappropriate links is driving you away, then perhaps you dont deserve to be on the bite.

Oh wow... sorry to Sirena. Not a problem to ask for help when it's needed. ;D
One question to the mods, not to annoy or make it seem like you guys missed anything, but did both [Cassady, Michelle] of you see the almost porn that was put up after the screenshots before it was edited to protect the board?
The screenshots weren't showing anything horrible in my opinion, just the end to a nice evening unless the two links I clicked weren't the right ones or were changed.
In the end, I think the original thread went too far toward the end. I thought it was over once the thread was locked, so I went to do other things to come back and see the situation not over at all.
I hope the mods and admin grow from this experience into being even better at handling the nutty people that have characters in RBC.

Ya know what? Whom ever said that shit to Sirena can go suck a dick. Shes a GOOD admin and a GOOD person to run bite.
I moved that thread to Off Topic because it had NOTHING to do with Announcing anything. It was more ranting and raving about Maji and her sexual deeds. There for, Yeah, I moved it to Off Topic, where it seemed a much better place for it.
Ugh you know what. Fuck off. Whomever did that shit doesn't even deserve to READ this damn forum.
Damia moved a rant about Mod's the the..Rant about Mods board.
Tell me where we moved a thread badly?
Yes, the thread was locked, and shouldn't have been. Well its fixed now so fucking drop it. Were still humans making decision for our vamps and instead of letting this shit get out of hand more, we tried to put a end to it.

I'm honestly completely outraged at having been harassed all night to deal with this bullshit. ... But if I ever get harassed so much that I have to come home to deal with this immature stuff again, I might as well just scrap everything. It's ridiculous and uncalled for and I am not the only person who can moderate Bite anymore so don't ruin my night over game shit. Please. Here's a revolutionary goddamn idea: TURN YOUR MOBILE YIM OFF. If you make yourself available for this kinda bullshit 24/7, you're going to get it at times you'll consider unwelcome. What's the worst thing that can happen? The board goes down and gets replaced with a seething mass of virii? Nothing you can do to stop it, and it'll wait until you get done dancing/eating/sleeping jesus christ this seems like common sense
