can you tell the aphrodisiacs meme poster to have a warning for drugs (especially being drugged without knowledge or consent) and non-con/dub-con

[kostinaya]

I sent a message to the poster, so hopefully that will be edited in now and for the future. I'm also making a note to revise our guidelines for posting content warnings for our memes.

Can you do something about the anon-harrassment over this way:
http://bakerstreet.dreamwidth.org/1945569.html?thread=1043832033#cmt1043832033

I don't care what their beef with the player is, leaping into a meme thread with that bs is not the way to do things.

disturbing image/gif not warned for and not even under a cut

[kostinaya]

I pmed the poster with a request to put it behind a cut, and I apologize for not having gotten to this sooner. I composed the message last night when I received this message, and then my internet crapped out on me. I will try to be faster on this in the future.

Can you do something about this. Posting a clone meme immediately after a meme with the same content but a different title is bad for the comm and everyone who uses it.

[kostinaya]

I pmed the poster to ask them to take it down, and told them they can repost it if they like in a week.

Thanks for the heads up.

Including those two posts there (even if the firs one was kind of jumping the gun and posting the meme way too soon), there has been a lot of Anon-Harrassment and general BS going on (mostly prompted by WG and RP Anons).

Is there anything that can be done about it? Maybe disabling anon-comments entirely for bakerstreet for awhile?

Clone meme issue

[(Anonymous)]

the music prompt meme (http://bakerstreet.dreamwidth.org/1989175.html?style=mine) is the same thing as a the song dedication meme (http://bakerstreet.dreamwidth.org/1988694.html) which was posted only six hours earlier and with only one new meme separating the two of them.

We've got more anons not knowing how to not harass people over here:

As the original commenter here, I would just like to express how completely baffled I am by these comments. I have written numerous times in this community with a variety of characters. Not once have I ever received this kind of feedback even using actors/models/singers for animated/video game characters. I have a feeling that it's because of who the character is, but telling someone how it's against "rules" to use a certain face isn't the way to have fun.

I fully understand that there is really nothing that can be done, but sadly I don't think I will be writing in this community any longer.

Thank you for the fun memes and times that were offered in this community! It did allow me to get a voice for characters I had been wanting to try.

[kostinaya]

It isn't against the rules of the community by any means! Anons are being asshats and speaking about 'unspoken rules' supposedly to do with DWRP as a whole, and this and other anon harassment cases are making me seriously consider what steps I should be taking to make sure this stops happening on the comm itself.

Good luck with your future meme endeavors!

considering some harassment issues that have been happening, i thought i'd report this unsolicited comment. many thanks for your help and concern.

[kostinaya]

Thank you for bringing the comment to my attention, it has been deleted.

more anon bs

[(Anonymous)]

before you jump to conclusions on that, that one isn't as bad as it could have been. because let's be real, if that person did ask the other not to rp with them, then the anon was out of order in the first place by thinking they could do so in an anon meme.

[(Anonymous)]

unnecessary commentary.

and more

That whole post and all the crap going on in it seems like a pretty good argument in favor of shutting anon down on Bakerstreet until anons learn how to behave themselves.

come the fuck on.

[(Anonymous)]

There was an similar meme posted earlier, but that doesn't require the anon harassment. (Forced kissing meme, vs the earlier kissing meme)

(http://bakerstreet.dreamwidth.org/2019860.html)

[kostinaya]

The poster has been pmed. Thank you!

Not sure if there is anything you can do about this, but if you can, that'd be great. That's just another instance of that particular player going out of their way to try to get people who have declined to play with them to thread anyway.

[kostinaya]

I pmed the op of the thread.

Thank you for notifying me.

[(Anonymous)]

if people have a problem with this player then could they please make a sock account and pm them instead of crapping up memes

seconding this.
I get having a problem with a player from time to time, but then one can just ignore.

More anon harassment.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention! I've gone ahead and frozen the thread until Modboss can take a look.

Just to point out player bullying and harassment.

New Bakerstreet Mod!

[korofel]

Hi there! Thanks for letting us know about this, though it seems to be the same post in question as the one above. I went ahead and froze the thread until Modboss can take a look at it.

I know this is a problem player and that there's an anon in there trying to help, but everything else is pretty mean :(

[(Anonymous)]

Can we please turn off anon comments on Bakerstreet now? Even if this is a 'problem player', the anons are just as bad and only making it worse by poking and prodding this person repeatedly.

[(Anonymous)]

More anon trolling.

There is no need for anon harassment like this.

could you please remove the comment made by numbers_r_better_n_people here: http://bakerstreet.dreamwidth.org/2083795.html?thread=1114283731#cmt1114283731 ? they are linking to real crime scene photos that are very graphic and disturbing and overall just inappropriate to be posted to a picture prompt meme.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. The comment has been removed and the player has been addressed.
