Open Letter to Sapphire

Edit: Didn't mean to make a thread but oh well. [quote] [b]Posted by: Harlow[/b] Not usually the type to preach this message, but I'll say it about this community. Give up. No really, leave. The administration/moderation here has no interest in doing any work to make the community even tolerable - the mute button is just an implemented feature so they finally have an excuse to just let you deal with your own shit. Random people aren't going to listen to fellow users in no positions of power like you or me, so if those with power don't care enough, then you're simply wasting your breath. Find another place to spend your free time, maybe one where community leaders actually give some effort into keeping things clean. [/quote] So here's what I don't get about Sapphire: Why do you want our attention? Why, if you're so convinced that the flood as a whole, is full of people you consider "intolerable," do you want us to pay attention to you? Look, I was absent during whatever time Sapphire arose and became hated by "The Flood," but the only things I've seen it do in the time I've been back is post inflammatory threads that you [i]openly[/i] admitted were designed to attract interest. [i][b]Why?[/b][/i] Do you want to change the culture here? Are you really so fantastically ignorant that you think the arbitrary distinctions between Sapphire's culture and The Flood's culture make Sapphire "correct"? Because all I see is someone whining that the moderators of this site won't force everyone to adapt to their mindset, which wouldn't work even if they did try that. On top of that, for all your supposed "moral superiority," the fact that that the only way you can seem to think of to spread your message is trolling is -blam!-ing pathetic. Leave or don't, but don't act like the moderators owe you a site that fits your sensitivities. The mute function is a ridiculously great step in that direction anyway, and you piss on it because someone won't press it for you.

  • I joined Sapphire, gave it a shot, didn't like it myself. I found they were rough on the new users in terms of letting them become "friends," and most of the users spent a lot of time groveling at the feet of other, more popular users. I didn't enjoy it in the slightest, though that was about half a year before we switched to b.next, so things have probably changed a little. I don't know though, I never pay attention to that sort of thing anyway.
