Basilisa Marie Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I'm unsure what the rationale for the Purge was. Was it because some people had views that were considered disallowed or was it because some behavior was considered abusive? People thought other people were being mean and generally not upstanding. So after much discussion and consideration, dUSt banned a couple of routinely problematic people. Like, what, four, or something? Phatmass does have a rather "unique" sense of humor that comes with a learning curve. So sometimes it can be hard to balance that curve against what's genuinely mean-spirited and stuff.

HisChildForever Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Basically, if a post or an actual member irritates you, the best response is to simply: ignore. It won't cause you any distress, and it won't cause the other person any distress. You'll have the opportunity to work on your self-control. Everyone wins. Only respond if you feel you can be patient and kind. Just be laid back. That's been my Phatmass approach since my last break and it's working pretty well for me.

There is one member here that I have on ignore. I do not often see indication that this particular person has posted, but still...

fides' Jack Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 This must be some kind of test that dUSt has devised to see how virtuous or malicious we can be. I'm pretty sure that everyone who submits names for banning will themselves be banned... I was thinking the same thing. I'm still considering submitting my own name, just to see what happens. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhuturePriest Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) Or, in some seasons, you were voted off, went to Redemption Island where you were in exile, and fought the other exiles to win your way back into the game. :| Sounds about right to me... I now propose a new idea: The Phatmass Hunger Games. And I'm not talking virtual, I mean literally throwing these people into a battle to the death. The victor is accepted back as a regular member of Phatmass. Edited August 4, 2014 by FuturePriest387 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porziuncola Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 What was the actual drama that spawned this? I'm genuinely curious, because other than this purge thing, I've never seen pm so mild? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure you can attribute this to the new moderating team, which is doing a stellar job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
