Certain other sub activity will no longer be held against you, ONLY badmouthing THIS community.

Risking a ban here; but are those love hearts or cats heads in that capsule?

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

lol! hearts i think, now i see cat heads :-(

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Haha! I can see the cat heads, or those valentine's/hospital balloons on sticks.

If you're shootin for a ban - you'll have to try a lot harder on this sub. :0)

Everything's so much easier now that we don't have to constantly protect/guard certain interests.

hahaha omg I see the cat heads now too

[–]AWanderingCactus7 points8 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

I like the new set up.

[–]katnip864 points5 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

So relieved you ladies are still around! Thank you for doing this.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

I wasn't a banned user but I just want to say that this change has been very refreshing! Welcome ladies :)

Hello! First, congrats on your new space. I'm very curious to see what you do with it.

Second, I'll bite: what do you considered bad-mouthing? Will participating in conversations that are critical of content in RPwives on other subs be held against us?

Edit: I realize I misread your comment.

If you post a thread looking for advice on here - and then run to other subs and mock all the feedback, that's probably going to get you a warning, if not a ban. There was a tendency in the past for users to pose as sincere and then laugh when users actually took the time to help.

I know there are a few threads about the sub up on BP - and they don't bother me. I think a few of the users have actually been going there and taking the time to explain things, which has been met with a lot of positive feedback which I found pleasantly surprising.

[–]Pooh_friendzoned_CR30's Married2 points3 points  (2 children) | Copy Link

Also fair enough - that sort of trolling doesn't serve either group. However, if say RandoMcRandom posts looking for advice, and then BloopieMcBloop posts a thread in BP that mocks the feedback, do you consider participating in that thread bad-mouthing?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

  1. Love the made up usernames.

  2. So far, the threads made about this sub haven't bothered me at all, and as I mentioned, it's interesting to see users from this community go and explain their side of things calmly. So that by the end, even if there's still disagreement, actual conversations have taken place.

  3. Making fun of a thread on another sub that you didn't participate on at all on RPWives sounds like fair game to me (though other mods may disagree, and again, context matters a lot).

  4. I know that when I see user's being directly mentioned (so that they get a notification in their messages) that bothers me. When a user is seeking advice (or giving it) and then has their inbox flooded with mentions - that can be a lot to deal with. As a mod, I more or less expect the very likely possibility people aren't always going to be wild about what I have to say. When users are just trying to focus on their life and making things better though, or they get mocked for expressing happiness over something - that's disheartening. Especially when the user makes an effort to explain or defend their position and it becomes a massive dog-pile. I want the users here to be excited and look forward to participating.

I know I'm not giving you the most concrete answers, and this is new territory for everyone really. Before it was very simple and clear cut: participation on BP earned you a ban. That isn't a rule here, and I'm actually happy about that (though I may well change my mind in the future haha). For now, I am content to wait and see and evaluate as things unfold.

No, this is great, thanks for taking the time to answer. I think you've said enough to give us an understanding of where you're coming from.

[–]Pooh_friendzoned_CR30's Married3 points4 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

Sounds fair. I'd never commented on RPW or TRP on any account before this, but had an alt banned from both for (I guess?) participating in TBP.

I do visit occasionally, and not just when linked. I like some of your fashion threads.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Sorry! I deleted that comment because I realized it didn't really answer your question specifically.

A lot of users were banned outright for BP participation specifically - it made it easier to stem the trolling tides haha.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

I can confirm I have been welcomed.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Yay!

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
