the council has unanimously decreed no memes for now and ever

Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not post personal information. This includes but is not limited to full names, addresses, phone numbers and so on.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.
Do not solicit money, Dreamwidth points, or other currency unless you are offering a good or service in return.

you would rather to literally anything than tag

im just trying to keep you here for as long as i can so you dont post more "am i hot?" "am i hot and kawaii?" "do you horny for me?" "are you the big hard for my charas?" "does my patent desperation arouse you?" memes

youre a polluter.

is this pennies anon

wgar

there was an anon awhile back who had a meltdown over musedumping and equated it to a bank stealing pennies from your account over countless years, leading to grave financial consequences

the fixation on equating exorbitant amounts of money to minor inconveniences made me think of them

wait, so because youre hanging on to a bad analogy made however long ago, all dwrp posters should just change their behavior and interests to accommodate spam meme posters?

yeah thats what i said lmfao

i already said i think those memes suck and agree people should stop! i would enjoy bakerstreet more without it

BUT acting like you can't scroll down and tag older memes is dumb and i think history has proven that a lot of this asspain over it is just an excuse for people not to rp. other meme comms with better quality memes have all died because nobody actually used them

nobody is acting like they cant scroll down and post to old memes.

lots of people are acting like its a low yield pain in the ass that isnt worth the effort. and you and yours have done fuck all to demonstrate that there is value in it.

its not about the mythic laziness of those bad old dumb rpers, its how the entire rest of the internet already works. theres no serious twitter competitor even though twitter is shitmarching itself into a shithole. either your tiktok gets 1m+ views or nobody has ever heard of you.

it would take real work to get a new meme comm actually off the ground, and whos going to do that work--meme posters? the guys who dont have the time and commitment for games? lets even say there was a truly committed person or persons who did have the time and energy: it would take a lot of amount of marketing to penetrate the awareness of local community like bs. its real tough to beat whats already in peoples bookmarks or followed on their journals, it would take a lot of patient and frequent advertising here and on plurk and other places. initial growth would be slow for a good while, and during that, these new guys are going to start getting complaints about how theyre spamming ads everywhere.

nothing about this is unique to dwrp. these are dominance and network effects very normal all over the internet, from car fan forums to facebook. companies pay big big money to solve problems like these because they are real and they are challenging. and we are asking for some volunteers to do it for free, and blaming them for doing it wrong when they fail.

the cheapest, simplest answer under the current set of constraints is for bs mods to add a bunch more mods or hand over control of the community, and for the spam memes to get deleted until theres no more than 5 new memes posted a day.

and hey, great news! that would also make it more likely that people would find it worth the effort to scroll back and post in old memes.

i would love to overthrow bakerstreet lmao

the mods really seem set in their ways and indifferent to concerns brought to their attention. the spam has been ramping up for a while now, and they genuinely do not care. i agree that making BS better would be the fastest, easiest solution compared to making a whole new comm, but it's also the one that seems the most unlikely

it's like that 'if you don't like it, leave' mentality. if you don't like how things are being done on bakerstreet, there's no one forcing you to stay. that attitude really doesn't help when people WANT to like bakerstreet, they just want to see it improved.

hey just tag older memes and ignore the bad ones. it's not an algorithm

hth

its a low yield pain in the ass that isnt worth the effort. and you and yours have done fuck all to demonstrate that there is value in it.

are you sure you want to rp

How many video games do you play that have a 40 minute loading time.

how broken are your fingers that it takes you 40 minutes to scroll a couple of pages

Why are you avoiding my question?

because its dumb

what a sour, muddy, selfish disposition you have. gives off the scent of a boogery tissue.

the number of video games you play with a 40 minute loading time is 0.

even if people, driven by your tantrums of entitlement, performed the scorched earth ritual of tagging to elderly top levels [noting that this means you already admitted there's no point in them posting their own top levels] after whatever amount of scrolling you deem morally worthy, they still have to wait for the tag back.

but if people wanted to put in that amount of work and have that level of commitment, they wouldnt be trying to play

ON MEMES.

if it takes you 40 minutes to scroll through a couple bakerstreet pages and youre not delusional your problems are beyond what bs mods can do for you

you unironically need some kind of extra accommodation

40 minute video game loading time: after 40 minutes, you start playing the game

your fantastical bs archaeology approach: after several pages of scrolling through memes, then several pages of scrolling through top levels, put in effort composing starter to top level. lets say this part takes 20 minutes all in, ok? because you seem to be fearful of the number 40.

now roll 1d6.

outcomes:
1: get no reply
2: get no reply
3: get no reply
4: get no reply
5: get reply after 4-5 days
6: get reply after 6 hours

so this is a video game with a 20 minute loading time - involving actual work from you - and a 1 in 3 chance of starting at all. if it does start, it does so hours later.

its a waste of fucking time, karen, and no amount of slimy sneering on your gollumy little part can obscure i.

da

writing this comment seems like a bigger waste of time at this point

you could have written at least one tag with the time it took you to write this nonsense

also do you suppose maybe the people flaking on you are also bs players who could stand to improve their habits

do you think maybe they could also be who im talking about or are you just bent on making yourself a victim instead of doing literally anything to reflect on your own habits and feelings

Then I'm sorry to say it but dwrp is not for you. Try tumblr.

Have you considered, perhaps, that you are insufferably entitled regarding the free pretendy-funtime energies of other people and them responding in their own time is not comparable to a badly optimized purchased product?

Also iirc, people still play Hideo Kojima games and that man loves his excessively long, droning cutscenes.

that's a lot of words you could have used to tag some nice toplevels on older memes
