Flexionsensor April 25, 2013 April 25, 2013 And now there is an etiquette thread to hopefully settle the issues with newbies. I can guarantee you it will fail. "DUDE! That's wrong! You don't do that! That's like giving a kid a knife and telling him that it's a neck massager!" Shameless self promotion!
Sands April 25, 2013 April 25, 2013 Handpicking people you want in makes for some awful elitism. Muting and banning everyone is the worst way to go at things, which already happens here in this community. As did the elitism but eh. Everyone should potentially have a place in a community, it's not some certain person's choice to make who gets in and who doesn't. Mods abuse their power and once the entire circle of mods is corrupt, no one will do anything to stop it, because the power is in the wrong hands. The people make for the best mods. The community is who chooses. Mods should be here to make the users enjoy their stay, not make the place something they personally enjoy and use their power to get that while ignoring everything else, thinking everything is fine because it's fine for them. The power is in the hands of the people. Mods should be afraid of the community and the users, not the other way around. What does that mean? Well, of course everyone shouldn't be given banning powers, that's a mess. Actually, very few people should have those, as they rarely solve anything when there's an actual problem between people and it's not a bot or a spammer. There needs to be more talking. Someone says ridiculous shit? Why the fuck can't people say that it's ridiculous shit? It obviously was ridiculous enough to get a reaction, can't say that this other person is right and the other is wrong by punishing them by taking away their ability to speak in the community, can you? If the person can't take their shit being called ridiculous, then they should get off the internet and learn plenty of life lessons before trying again, because life ain't nice and happy sunshine butterflies all the time. People got their opinions and they have the right to say them. Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me, yeah? What would that actually do in a community that tries to weed out certain behavior? Well, I'd say if you got a troll saying this stupid shit, no one will believe them and give the attention, so they gotta stop as it's a waste of time and no laughs were gotten out of the gullible idiots. If they're attentionwhores, same thing, they don't get attention and notice it doesn't work. New people will also notice that acting that way gets them nothing, so they wouldn't think that's the norm and do it themselves. What if the person really is going through that? Would be awful to be called all those names, huh? More often than not though, especially when it comes to tuppers, the problem is all in the mind. Or it's a relationship problem or something. Others telling you that it's not as big of a deal or that it's ridiculous might make you realize it yourself too and finally be able to overcome it, because you were making a big deal out of something and thus made it only stronger by worrying. If it is a legit problem you want to get over and change if you have to, someone laughing at you won't make you stop. If you're a stuck up little bitch then yeah, you will have a problem when people don't lick your ass. And guess what, most people probably don't want you around then so you can either decide to stay in with people who dislike you or leave, legit or not. A community can never be for everyone. It potentially could be, in theory. It doesn't outright tell anyone to get out if they try joining, but there's always a line somewhere. Rules about what's accepted and not, written or not. Trying to please everyone will be impossible, but the community itself will choose what kind of people will be able to fit in. Not everyone will. Maybe that's us, but tulpa.info right now is not what it tried so hard to be. Something has to change, either what the community tries to be or what it is for it to be balanced.

Trenton April 26, 2013 April 26, 2013 Everyone should have the right to speak and make a difference, strength in numbers. I have seen this happen before in other communities so its nothing new to me. There are 3 ways this can go: The community changes for the better. The community becomes worse. The community stays the same. Lots of things can happen, people change, groups change, communities change, everything changes. Corruption is a terrible thing.
