Enforcement. LTFI please.

[ExArrow]

I feel that rule enforcement is too lax. In nsfw creative writing at least. In the last couple of days there's been multiple authors who have just up and quit using this site because of harassment disguised as advice ("trying to be helpful they say") and it's annoying. From "this is Ai writing!" to literally trying to backseat someone's writing.

Please MOD's lock the fuck in with the rules enforcement.

I mean this respectfully. Thanks

If you think something is harassment, use the report button

Nothings being done. That's the problem.

I second 'use the report button'.

Being done about what? Which writers are quitting? Have any of them tried telling this "harassment disguised as advice" to shut up about it? Because in my experience, if a writer tells someone in their thread to stop being annoying about something and the other person keeps being annoying, the mods will take the writer's side.

Option 1: Report them for harassment
Result A: They get infracted
Result B: They aren't infracted, because you are wrong and it's not harassment

Option 2: Tell them to stop
Result A: They stop
Result B: If they don't stop, then that is harassment, and that will get infracted when you report it

Option 3, the forbidden option: Get a thicker skin
Result: You stop being a bitch

Nothings being done. That's the problem.

Then it's not 'harassment', it's people complaining. This isn't a hugbox, this is a forum. People can post things other than blind positivity about the story. The audience isn't here solely to suck your dick. Some people are going to complain, and they are free to do so unless it crosses the line into being an asshole.

Now, if you think that complaining crosses the line into harassment or outright being an asshole, then report them. And if they aren't dinged for it (which may take some time, because the mods are human beings with shit to do), then you are wrong.

And even in the case you are, in fact, a child who cannot handle people complaining and they didn't get dinged, you can still tell them to stop in the thread, and in that case if they don't then they are harassing you and will get infracted if you report them saying "I asked them to stop and they did not".

Go back to sufficient velocity

Mods are doing a great job, and I approve of OP not being able to stop people from posting opinions he doesn't like.

Even on SV, this person would be told "this is your fault for not using the report button"

Which authors? And in which threads? If it's multiple people doing this in such a short time frame as you say, then you should be able to provide links of the threads where the authors are publicly leaving the site because of mods refusing to crack down on their harassment, yes?

Probably referring to FrankBlarghHonk who quit over that, plus a couple other authors were mentioned in that thread as dropping posting here, but not nearly enough that it constitutes a pattern

Oh? do you have a link to the thread? I have to say, I am curious about this harassment and what level it was at.

Meh, he called it that but it was more so he was thin skinned and there were some people who were very overly critical and constantly pestering him about details they didn't like more so than actual harassment. Only author I've seen legit harassed is Sinereal and that's mostly cause Sin decided to be like THE political lightning rod on here and others go in trying to pick fights.

The thread in NSFW CW

The drama it cause in the Sanctimonious Assholery thread

A quick search shows ExArrow hasn't posted in that thread though, and while that doesn't mean he didn't lurk, I don't feel like a lurker would've been invested enough to make a thread like this
