A series of questions and complaints

[ChairmanKaga]

Lets right to it

1. Your site is burning my eyes. It has a ugly mix of colours and one of the reasons I didnt join a few months ago, I suggest you change it something less awful if you dont want people if walk away in horror. Also yes im aware you can change it but all the combinations are ugly.
2. Your site is hard to navigate, its nearly as bad as 4chan (although at least here I can figure out how to post)
3. What is Libertine?
4. Whats the thing in my profile page about Fire, Ice or Earth?
5. Whats the stuff about "Red State" "Green Empire" and "Blue kingdom"?
6. Whats this about invites? Are you telling me I cant just join a RP but need a invite? How am I supposed to get people to join if i dont know anyone here?!
7. You have so many goddam rules its like a fucking beauracracy, cant you just say "Dont be a asshole"?
8. I saw something in rules about "Triggers" do i reeeeeaally have to give them? Because I have a deep and irrational loathing of them. If you dont like it then move on I say
9. Is there a Politics thread floating around? I want to go give my opinion/convert people/piss people off

If you got this far then I thank you for bearing with me and my nitpickng (See my Introduction thread for why it seems like I hate this place)

If your intent is to piss people off, perhaps you do not belong here. Drama is not tolerated.

 

[ChairmanKaga]

Maybe you are right. You probably are. But dont get me wrong my sole purpose in life is more than to piss people off, I just have alot on my plate at the moment so im being a bit of a wanker (Dont worry im also causing trouble back at "The Guild").

Also, the reason why I would piss people off regarding politics is because I have a certain ideology that is not well liked, and hence would piss people off.

So if we ignore my complaints, would somene be so kind as to answer my questions?

1. Your site is burning my eyes. It has a ugly mix of colours and one of the reasons I didnt join a few months ago, I suggest you change it something less awful if you dont want people if walk away in horror. Also yes im aware you can change it but all the combinations are ugly.- Just gotta deal with that one. Dont know what to say, guess they could offer more color combos.

2. Your site is hard to navigate, its nearly as bad as 4chan (although at least here I can figure out how to post)- This is just a learning curve thing, you get use to it.

3. What is Libertine?- Basically? Smut, Sex Banging, Borking you'll get all the net diseases if you go there.

4. Whats the thing in my profile page about Fire, Ice or Earth? -Its for a very very big rp thing I believe, they are called universe rps.

5. Whats the stuff about "Red State" "Green Empire" and "Blue kingdom"? -Same if my memory holds.

6. Whats this about invites? Are you telling me I cant just join a RP but need a invite? How am I supposed to get people to join if i dont know anyone here?! -This is probably a feature that someone can turn on for their rp. Its not usually the norm. If you want to join an rp check out its OOC or go to jump in/chat rps.

7. You have so many goddam rules its like a fucking beauracracy, cant you just say "Dont be a asshole"? -The rules are there mostly for people who want to break them then claim "So and so isnt on the rules." Also as a result of the smut that gets written they require harsh rules regarding age.

8. I saw something in rules about "Triggers" do i reeeeeaally have to give them? Because I have a deep and irrational loathing of them. If you dont like it then move on I say -Dont really know on this one, sorry.

9. Is there a Politics thread floating around? I want to go give my opinion/convert people/piss people off -If its discussion you maybe talk about the subject, debate is for...debating, argue yourside, etc there are these sorta threads if not, you could make your own.


Hope that helped!

If I may try my hand at this:

1. Deal with it.
2. Deal with it.
3. The mature section of our forum. It encompasses more than simply smut RPs, however.
4. Just a silly thing. Pick one. Or don't. We aren't your mom.
5. For a mass RP called Ilium. Join it. Or don't. We're still not your mom.
6. Some might have that and some might'nt. Either way, you don't necessarily need them to RP.
7. That is a rule here already. And the other rules are born from trial and error and is molded to fit Iwaku distinctively.
8. I assume you mean warnings. And it would be nice, wouldn't it? If you don't like it then move on, I say.
9. You can always start a thread about politics in the General subforum. But keep in mind that if you are doing it just to start shit then we frown upon that.

There you go, sport.

Thank you chums, it is greatly appreciated

I know the butterfly already answered, but here are some more in dept answers, and answers to things he didn't really answer. :9

1. The admins are working on new styles, but at the moment they are busy with other things, like fixing the new group system and a new roleplay forum system. There is just so much they can do at once, and the new styles will have to wait until the bigger projects are done.

2. It's a big forum with lots of things on it, there's not much to do about it other than to explore the site and find stuff.

3. It's where you take all the RPs that has a lot of sexy times in them. If you do sex scenes outside of the libertine area you will first of all have to make sure you don't do it with a person outside of your age group (people with blue stars on their avatars) and you must make sure to keep all the sexyness in spoilers. Once the sexy time becomes such a big part of the rp that it doesn't go more than a few pages between the bangs though, it will most likely be moved to the libertine area.

4. That was the gender options before, but now we have the gender option elsewhere to give people more alternatives, and those three questions couldn't be removed, so they are now changed a bit now and then into fun but meaningless words that people can choose from.

5. As the butterfly said, it's for a mass RP named Illium. I'm not working close to that section, nor do I know much about it, but if you want to know more, I would suggest looking through the Illium threads in the map Universe roleplaying, or contact one of the mods working in that section if you have questions about it. (To see the mods in the illium section, go to illium, there you will see a 'post new thread' button. Just underneath that, and just above all the threads, you can see 'moderator list', 'watch forum', 'ignore forum', etc. Click on moderator list and there you'll have a list of moderators.)

6. Not all RPs requires an invite. Actually most don't. The one x one area and the jump in section is good places for new members to get started. In the jump in section you can just 'jump in'to the rp and start playing immediately. No sign ups required. In the one x one area you can try to find people with similar interests to you and ask them if they want to start a game with them. When it comes to group roleplays, some will be private, but most of them won't. Every group category (such as fantasy) has another section called Sign-ups and plot discussion in them. Look after plots you like, post a character sheet after the Game Masters instructions, and then wait for the GM to accept your application. It is that simple.

7. If only it was that simple. Most people are able to keep to the rules without even having read them though, and we do give people a fair warning if they're braking the rules, so if they didn't know about it, they will most likely not be in trouble the first time. Don't be a douche, and don't post naked real life pictures of anyone, and don't post animated porn pictures, and don't roleplay sexy stuff with people outside of your age group, and you should be fine.

8. As far as I know there isn't a rule that forces you to give trigger warnings, BUT, it's nice if you could just say "hey, this rp might/will involve these elements: Sex, gore, torture, mental abuse, etc." so that people are warned before they start reading about your plot idea (or before reading your roleplay if it's in an in character thread.).

9. Don't piss people off on purpose ]:<
But yes, political threads are created a bit now and then, and often times we need to close threads cause people can't stop insulting each other after a debate has become too heated o.O So when you see one you better reply fast, cause it might be gone the next day. You'll find such threads in the general chat, and you can also create them.

I like a colour scheme. :3
Black and Blue is cool yo.

2. Your site is hard to navigate, its nearly as bad as 4chan (although at least here I can figure out how to post)

All sites are for new people, you'll adapt.
It's pretty easy after a bit,

3. What is Libertine?

Sex Roleplaying in a nutshell.
It's where you go if you want to type out sex scenes.

4. Whats the thing in my profile page about Fire, Ice or Earth?

It's a silly joke thing.
I'm currently in the process of petition an upgrade to it myself. :3

5. Whats the stuff about "Red State" "Green Empire" and "Blue kingdom"?

Choose your loyalty!
In all seriousness though, the others covered it pretty well.

6. Whats this about invites? Are you telling me I cant just join a RP but need a invite? How am I supposed to get people to join if i dont know anyone here?!

It's the same as on the Guild.
Some people will privatize but the majority are open to the public.

7. You have so many goddam rules its like a fucking beauracracy, cant you just say "Dont be a asshole"?

The Guild had to go into details as well.
They just made it more entertaining/less of a chore to red with the "Fonz cool" references.

8. I saw something in rules about "Triggers" do i reeeeeaally have to give them? Because I have a deep and irrational loathing of them. If you dont like it then move on I say

Nah, 3k+ posts and I have yet to bother with trigger warnings.
If you run into someone who freaks at you for not using trigger warnings?
Just report them for causing drama.

9. Is there a Politics thread floating around? I want to go give my opinion/convert people/piss people off

I wouldn't advice purposely trying to piss people off.
That wasn't even my goal back on the Guild and I still made load of enemies simply because I tended to like debate threads.

Though if you're looking for a very "Old Guild Off Topic section" environment, make a thread in General Chat.
But be sure to give it the tag "Debate", otherwise such content is gonna get closed fast.

(Dont worry im also causing trouble back at "The Guild").

Who exactly are you on the Guild?
Do you use the same username or something different?
Cause if you were 'causing trouble' back there we've probably ran into each other before.

Also, the reason why I would piss people off regarding politics is because I have a certain ideology that is not well liked, and hence would piss people off.

Like I detailed above, the same happened with me,
Hold an unpopular opinion, people hold a several year long grudge.

But there's still a difference between people being butt sore about differing opinions, and purposely going out of your way to piss them off.
