Oh my God! I hate myself too
Thank you for hating me and aligning with my views.
Lmao. I would feel sorry for you but at this point, not really
Please stop with the jealousy and hate. I mean it.
Some people get jealous too. Thatās understandable but that doesnāt mean people will talk s**t behind their backs
Me: Oh, did @heavenbound change her pfp again? Wait, thatās not her, itās @Dusk. Now who was she again? (Just me mocking myself for my weakness in memorizing faces and names. )
As head of general moderation, I know pretty much every thread on these forums, the rant threads, unpopular opinion threads and confession threads do not make up the forums, they do not even make up 50% of the forums, far from it. It just so happens they are active because people like to vent, we arenāt episode and we wonāt shut people down when they want to vent or talk about their mental health, if you donāt like it I suggest muting the threads.
As for talking about people behind their backs it has been said before, we donāt really care unless it gets brought to staff attention and then it can be seen as bullying donāt act like you donāt talk about people behind their backs, everybody does it to an extent and the funny thing is that whenever anyone denies it I can provide examples of when they have so donāt bother denying it, there is nothing wrong with venting about people, what they donāt know wonāt hurt them right? Well make sure they never know, make damn sure they never know because there is a difference between venting and just straight up bullying. Venting isnāt against the rules, bullying really is.
This I can agree with, we donāt want any drama in your PMs to spill onto the main forum so it is your responsiblity to ensure that it doesnāt or Deluge will deal with it and I doubt you want that.
You do you but I feel like this varies from person to person since when Iām not here I just spend all my time wishing I was if you need a break for mental health then fine take one but something else you could do is mute the threads and the people who give you anxiety, maybe youāll start to feel better.
What episode forum were you using?
Because in my experience itās a toxic waste dump where the worst parts of everybody are on show all the time, tensions are super high and sorry not sorry we donāt host a witch hunt for flaggers I guess?
In this whole thing there just seems to be a recurring theme of you not liking people who talk about you behind your back. I get it, nobody likes that, nobody likes feeling like theyāre so unapproachable that they canāt just come to you. We like to think if people have a problem with us they will come to us so we can fix it or talk about it or whatever. Iām sorry though, we arenāt entitled to that, Iāve lost quite a few friendships because people wouldnāt discuss things with me and to this day I still wonder what I did wrong and think about every tiny thing it could possibly be and that is not a good way to live.
If somebody has talked about you behind your back to the point they no longer want to be your friend and donāt want to try to fix things with you then to me the friendship doesnāt seem like it was ever a good one.
Sometimes we have to be honest with our friends about their behaviour and how it is affecting other people, that to me is a good friendship, someone who tells me what I did wrong so I can at least try to make up for it or so I know not to do it again.
Anything said behind your back isnāt worth knowing anyway and it isnāt a p*ssy thing itās more just a āI donāt want to fix thisā thing.
Also sometimes people just vent to get things of their chest without hurting you
Hey, you need to wait to see whatās on the next page of your story.
Let it play out for yourself ok?
It can be something you never expected to happen.
Thereās always going to be change in life.
Just because you see people taking pictures with phones.
Cameras still exist.
Parents still take photos on cameras.
I donāt understand sorryā
People have always talked behind peopleās backs.
They just have a chance to say to their victims with AC.
The episide forums ban everything.
If you had a opinion
They ban you.
This place is free, and with nicer people.
Thereās always going to be mean people.
People can always talk about others
Troll accounts
Pms
Anonymous confessions
We just need to make sure WE arenāt bullying anyone.
And maintain respect.
