Support & Games
It has come to my attention that a community on Scribbld is causing a lot of issue and I've actually suspended the account (but it's now unsuspended). Basically because we have no ToS people are pretty much free to write about and post about anything they want. Obviously that is a real issue but I've always said from day one, if you have to think twice about the content you're posting then don't post it at all. This continues to hold true and if you're submitting objectionable content, just don't. You'll probably end up getting banned or suspended.

I am not really sure what provokes people to post such mean and hateful content and as mentioned in a support ticket, I will definitely be closing this community in question if I get more complaints from users.

I personally think the community should be allowed to stay open but ONLY members of the community can participate in their little game. I believe that is what I will propose and if that rule is broken (via a user reporting it) I will close the community. I believe that is how I will handle it.

What I don't understand is why can't people just keep to themselves. Choose your friends wisely...

I will be speaking with a few other people today to get their opinions on the issue and from there we will decide on whether or not to keep the community open.

In other news....Keith came over last night and we hung out. I hooked him up with Aperture 2 and Cloverfield. makkintosshu also stopped over to drop off an Ethernet cable. we all hung out and chatted video games. As with every Tuesday night we'll be online playing Call of Duty 4 -- my gamertag is vtequine.

emilie made us a really good dinner last night, Shepards Pie. I loved it. Then we just hung out pretty much for the rest of the night.

I've also been working with Morgan and talking about a new project he's working on. More details to be revealed later :) it'll be neat though.

I finally got an S2 style I like except when I leave the comment page to be the style it looks horrid, I hate how none of the S2 stuff seems to indent or nest the comments. It's lame, but at least I like the layout...

I believe that's all I have to say for right now

I used to mod it, but the other moderator took away my privileges simply because I couldn't update it once or twice. It turns friends against friends and people get blamed for things they didn't do.

I wouldn't blame you for deleting it, but I do have to tell you that there's several people who would make a new "flamecup" type journal the second you deleted the original one. People are rude, people will make nasty comments, people love drama and this is a place for them to do it.

It's totally your call seeing as this site is yours, but it will cause' a lot more drama when it's gone.

Just my opinion.
Sorry if it came off as rude, wasn't my intention.

	You're right. People will make a new one regardless...so all of this kinda seems pointless, no? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	drug 2008-04-08 06:29 pm UTC (link)
	It's pointless, yet there's a point somewhere there. I understand where he's coming from, for sure. But, if he deletes flamecup then he needs to screen usernames and I'm sure there's so many to do that with. But, if flamecup ends up getting deleted then he should delete all of the communities like itself as they come and go. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Fully agreed. There's a point to be proven in this. Those people just don't see it, ya know? (Reply to this)(Parent)

	jimmy 2008-04-08 06:34 pm UTC (link)
	Well I won't screen names, but if any users who haven't joined the community find themselves in there, it'll be shutdown... This is difficult :\ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	But what if someone is flamed, gets pissed, then leaves the community, and sends a ticket? How would that be fair? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jimmy 2008-04-08 06:39 pm UTC (link)
	Well then I'd hope one of the mods would let me know as I can ask them about it, it shouldn't be an issue. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	roark 2008-04-08 06:42 pm UTC (link)
	So are the mods going to have to monitor the friends list from day to day? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jimmy 2008-04-08 06:44 pm UTC (link)
	How hard could it be, make it so mods have to approve members before they join...it won't be that hard...if they want to run a community like that I don't think this is much to ask... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	diaf 2008-04-08 06:45 pm UTC (link)
	They'd still get lots of requests, and won't be able to monitor when people actually leave. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jimmy 2008-04-08 06:57 pm UTC (link)
	I am sure they'll be able to handle it. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	jimmy 2008-04-08 06:33 pm UTC (link)
	It does seem pointless. But apparently my suspend button has an unlimited use on it :) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	XDDD I should start calling you Apollo Justice, bringing Justice to Scribbld! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jimmy 2008-04-08 06:40 pm UTC (link)
	LOL it's hard because on one hand yeah people should be allowed to post whatever they want, but there has to be a line as to what's appropriate and what is not. What's happening right now is definitely not cool. My idea of only allowing flames to be posted by people to people who are members of the community seems like a good answer...

I totally understand what you're saying, thank you for you input as I do value it.

I understand people will continue to make new flamecups and so be it, it's going to happen!

I do understand how it might cause more drama, but that's not my issue. My issue is keeping users happy and content and having a community that does exactly the opposite is a bit ridiculous in my opinion!

Again thank you for your comment :)

Lindsay I wish you would stop acting that way. I tried to explain it to you but you just kept getting rude with me. And I had to leave for work tbh that's why I left so quickly. I've been receiving replies and IMs, everything. For awhile. It's obviously really stupid I agree, that people freak out when it's not posted on time. But I can't just keep ignoring them or making up an excuse. What's the big deal, anyway? I didn't want to be rude by it at all. I don't even want to run it anymore I probably will turn it all over to Sarah and/or look for another mod because it's absolutely ridiculous having to deal with this bull shit.
