/ccrp/ - Character Creator Roleplay

I didn't bow to him, I just simply stopped and starting searching on my own time due to people wanting to keep lewdman secret.

>>4194

Although it was wrong, the person did have a point…….If the lewdposter wants to remain anonymous, then let them.

I say just drop the entire thing.

>>4194

Why are you getting upset over people wanting anonymity?

>>4218

It's not about whether he had a point or not, this sort of thing is setting up a precedent for the future for more power tripping and that is NOT okay.

>>4220

Did you even read my post?

>>4223

I doubt the person had any interest in a position of power, just wanted to make a point and posting as just an anon wouldn't have made the same impact.

>>4194

I dont agree so much on the Abuse of Power role as he didnt force us to stop. He somply reminded us that some wish to keep their privacy.

However, the message could have been posted just as a regualr anonymous user and had the same effect.

>>4226

>just wanted to make a point and posting as just an anon wouldn't have made the same impact

That's EXACTLY the point, why should his opinion hold more weight than any of the rest of us when he's one of us and this does not concern the rules of the board?

>>4228

Because they were concerned that revealed someones anonymity was more of a threat to the future of the board.

That's just my opinion on the matter though, I'm staying out of this from now on……..

>>4233

So you're going out from this with the argument that the future of this community should be in the hands of an arbitrarily decided inner circle instead of the actual community itself.

>>4194

Hey Rebis. I made that comment and perhaps you're due an explanation (because I don't think the reality is as bad as you believe). But you raise a point. There ought to be transparency.

As it happens, I'm not the sort to hide behind that sort of thing (I actually had no idea you could put multiple things in the name field). The reason that post was even made was because we don't engage in 'witch-hunting' and we believe that all users should have the option to remain anonymous without being pressured into revealing who they are, or feeling alienated.

But your fears are totally misplaced. If a post like that appears, it is simply there to let you know that all those in charge of moderating did not approve. We did not ban anyone, we did not lock the thread, all the thread received was a light-hearted comment.

The only reason any mods or "board volunteers" exist is primarily to prevent any potential raids, the posting of CP, gore, etc. You know, all the usual stuff. This entire board can get deleted over something like that, in accordance with 8ch's global rules.

Nobody has any interest in power-tripping, but similarly there are still rules in play. And I'll reiterate: Nobody has been banned, no threads have been deleted, nothing.

Still, I understand you fear this might evolve into something, and I think you mean well. I'm happy to answer any questions anyone might have.

==P.S ANYONE CAN DO THAT COOL RED TEXT I BELIEVE== just place two equal signs before and after~

>>4224

I did. And I read the thread in question.

The thing is, people most likely wouldn't have stopped trying to figure out who this drawfag was if a "person in power" didn't step in, and probably would have scared that person and possibly others off of the board with their antics.

Is that what we want for our board? A community that goes on witch hunts for someone who wishes to stay anonymous?

>>4237

Lets try this

Also, maybe not everyone can do the cool red text :(

>>4237

>we believe that all users should have the option to remain anonymous without being pressured into revealing who they are, or feeling alienated

What makes you think YOUR opinion is more valuable than anyone else's here and that it warrants posting as a moderator?

>"board volunteers" exist is primarily to prevent any potential raids, the posting of CP, gore, etc

>it is simply there to let you know that all those in charge of moderating did not approve

This thing did not put us in danger of any of those so why should we care what the moderators think? Why didn't you say what YOU think on the same ground as everyone else?

>Nobody has any interest in power-tripping

Best fucking joke I've heard all day.

>>4239

So you think a community that is dictated by a private circlejerk of moderators is better?

>>4244

Is a community dictated by mob mentality any better?

This thread is silly.

>>4251

I was thinking a community of individuals that can form their own damn opinions but apparently you have much more dismal opinion of everyone here.

>>4244

>What makes you think YOUR opinion is more valuable than anyone else's here and that it warrants posting as a moderator?

Uh Rebis, I'm pretty sure the same opinion was stated by others in the thread. I'm not a prideful person and don't recognize my speech or rhetoric to be any more valuable than anyone else. The only reason is was a mod post was because it was a unanimous decision and we wished to express the opinion of all mods. Still, I'd prefer if you directed your anger at me for now, not anyone else.

>This thing did not put us in danger of any of those so why should we care what the moderators think? Why didn't you say what YOU think on the same ground as everyone else?

Rebis, this is an ANONYMOUS imageboard. It stands to reason that everyone would like to protect that, even others in your own thread have purported to feel that way. Concerning anything else, there would be no intervention, but there it's an anonymous imageboard for a reason.

>Best fucking joke I've heard all day.

I understand you're angry, but I think you're hurting the positive points by swearing and saying things like this. If anyone was powertripping, you would have been banned by now. We don't want that, we can discourse, and we want to talk about things that are making others unhappy, especially with moderation.

And you can talk all you like about a 2-tier system all you like. Mods and non-mods, but ultimately there's no benefit to being the former. You think I like putting my reputation as 'karol' at risk? The only reason anyone does it is because they care about the board and wish to safeguard it if possible. I've been here since the beginning and I'd like to do what I can to ensure the prosperity of this place, same goes for everyone I hope.

By the way, this doesn't just have to be a conversation between Rebis and I.

If anyone else has questions, I'll do my very best to answer!!

>>4259

From what I saw Nanashi was the only one to share such an opinion in the thread before the Board Volunteer appeared. You go back to "muh mod opinions" but you're not answering what I asked. It doesn't matter if it's an unanimous decision by all mods because it does NOT matter that you are mods in this situation.

Nobody's anonymity is inherently protected. You can post in a way without revealing anything more than "Anonymous" but if you reveal enough information about yourself, you CANNOT expect anonymity. That is not how that works and it is not a moderator's job to babysit anyone that does not realize that. That wasn't my thread by the way.

As far as powertripping concerned, I may not be banned now, but I'd love to see what happens after some more time down the slippery slope, especially everything I heard from Annon today.

Yes, everyone wants the prosperity of this place. And yet everyone seems content to leave this go completely down the shitter as you and the other mods will continue to talk down to anyone from above whenever you see something that you don't like.

>>4266

Rebis, it might just be easier if you tell us what you'd like us to change. No promise that it will happen. But you're seriously driving a wedge into this community with this so I'd like to resolve things quickly.

Violation of board rules, Violation of global rules and not permitted. It wasn't just Nanashi that spoke out against what was happening either. We will attempt to protect the anonymity of our users, like it or not. Outside of that, nobody has anything to fear, there really aren't a lot of rules.

If you don't like the way we dealt with it, that's fine, you're free to express that opinion. But unless there's more than just you complaining about it, I find it hard to believe that any of us were in the wrong. Nobody abused their power, it was simply a mod post detailing that we didn't think it was okay and that people should calm down about it. Again, only was made a mod post to serve as a general view on the subject of anonymity.

>>4277

A wrong act is not made right by the inability of those around it to take notice of it.

I don't wish to waste my time with this further if nobody here even gives a shit about the community he's in. I'm having last words on the matter with Annon and I don't care what you do after that.

>>4266

And as for my regular opinion. I thought that thread was absolutely gross. Someone did something really nice for everyone, and people blew up about it trying to find out who he was. Frankly, it was nauseating. It was hardly okay by any stretch of the imagination, and you can talk about "there's no real anonymity" all you like, it doesn't mean we support what is essentially a "raid-lite".

>>4284

>Someone did something really nice for everyone, and people blew up about it

I'm sure the detectives had good intentions, they we're probably just blinded by the hype of having someone do that for the board.

>>4295

We all knew that, and that's why we just wanted to give a friendly mod post. Heck, it took us all a while to figure out how to even do it~ We knew everyone was excited so we didn't do anything drastic ;~; And I personally take what Rebis says seriously, because I really want to know if anyone has grievances!

>>4266

I really don't get the point of this thread, you're complaining about power abuse when all that happened wasn't even a warning, it was a suggestion. If you think of that post as a threat from the mods, then you're over blowing things. Think about this, as soon as they start trying to push "their views" in this board, then people would leave and create another board, that's this site's gimmick.The main point is, they were reminding people that if they did keep looking around for the drawfag's identity, there was a chance he would leave. How is that unreasonable? Everyone makes mistakes and he might have gone a bit overboard but what, is he not allowed to say "stop, I don't want people knowing who I am?". If this happened to you somehow, wouldn't you want to stay anonymous? You talk about wanting everyone to be equal, what is more equal that everyone in the community staying anonymous? I really don't get your point.

For the record I'm not defending anyone, I mostly lurk in this board.
