Animation Source news
News Regarding Drama

Written by SkulShurtugalTCG :



 

This is a message from the mods.

Recently,  there has been a lot of flaiming of members in the shout boxes, through comments, and on the forums. In particular, the members are Brown wolf, MightyBalto1925, Skulblaka_Shur'tugal, Kelsey the Zombie and JerseyCaptain. As of right now, anyone caught doing this again will be given an instant month-long ban. Consider it a rule for now.

To elaborate: don't talk about them even if you talk about the situation without mentioning names. It's obvious who you talk about. And we also don't care if you talk about it either civilized or politely. With Brown wolf, who was recently demodded, DO NOT talk about the situation in public, no matter what side you take. It is not necessary to talk about it, and it creates drama. As for flaming Skul, JC, Kelsey, or Mighty--no matter the reason--just flat-out don't try it. That includes those same people; if you see THEM starting anything, report it and the mods will decide how to handle it. 

This isn't to say you aren't allowed to talk about it. Just don't do it on the shoutboxes, in comments, or on the forums. Animation Source is a fansite dedicated to films, NOT bashing other members. You can easily talk with others about these situations through PMs, Skype, or MSN. ANYWHERE but in public on this website.

Once again, no exceptions, not even those listed. If anyone discusses the current situation about Brown wolf, or writes messages that could be interpreted as flaming JC, Mighty, Skul, or Kelsey, you will receive a one-month-long ban. And again, that INCLUDES those listed; if they are caught doing so, they will be banned. No exceptions, no second chances, so don't even bother.

 

This is a message from Skul, to help this news not end so dreary-like.

Live long and prosper.

And who it applies to.
Several people have been bringing it up constantly, one in the shoutbox virtually every day (not going to name and shame though) but thus far the most that's been done has been the mods going in circles not knowing what to do or who to take action against.

Seriously, some people just can't let sleeping dogs lie and keep dragging (censored) up left, right and centre. Frankly sick of seeing it, as are a lot of people judging by the comments on this news post.

Edit: Also note that "Bringing it up with the mod" doesn't work. If a mod is actually doing something wrong and you mention it you get, mostly, a "Don't like it then ignore it" response and often get yelled at by their friends too. (And I have seen people being attacked in the shoutbox over mentioning something negative about a mod's actions before).

Does this apply for forums too? You mods should check it out.

In truth, if you have a problem with a mod, don't complain to the webmaster. Find a way to resolve it with the mod you're having problems with first.

They are no longer mods. They haven't been for over a year.

"Skul, JC, Kelsey, or Mighty--no matter the reason--just flat-out don't try it. That includes those same people; if you see THEM starting anything, report it and the mods will decide how to handle it. "

Isn't the problem that those people ARE the mods? What do you think is going to happen if you report them? How do you think it will be handled? I'd like a serious answer to that question. From my experience if you report a mod's bad behavior to the mods, the complaint gets deleted and nothing happens. Has something significant changed?

-> Wolflover201, I hope you don't take this wrong, but people don't exactly approach the internet thinking about trying to understand another user. I wholeheartedly applaud the administrators' decision to institute month-long bans, and agree with you that it should be a permanent policy.

Honestly, I think the best way to avoid drama is to not touch the shoutbox. I always dislike what I see there.

I honestly think that this site is starting to lose its main purpose; to talk about animated movies. When I came back here, I always see the same thing over and over again; more arguing and fighting between the members. If only everybody were friends or were getting along really well, this would never had happened. Sadly, that isn't the case.

Thank goodness for this new rule. I've not a clue what's been going on (To be 100% truthful, I didn't notice anything, but, that's not at all my main concern). This rule should be permanent in my personal opinion, I'm pretty sick of seeing members bashing each other through comments. I agree with all those who wonder why all members can't just get along, and solve problems out, trying to understand each other if it's something regarding characters and images. I sincerely hope the community decides to thrive better, and treat each and every member with respect, I honestly hope for the best.

You're not going to get a thorough explanation, Anubis. Nothing more than was provided here. It's been made painfully clear that NO ONE may talk about this anymore, so I am really not sure why you keep asking about it. If you cannot deduce enough from what has already been said in this news and its comments, then you're just going to have to accept that you won't ever understand it.

Trust me...leave it alone.

I am with you in this one kodi. At first I thought that this was a true fansite....... especially when I read the rules...... but...... well..... I also have not been online for a long time, and when I came back... just the same and usual drama on this site.

I agree Black Rose...Cat did an intelligent and thorough critique of those fan fictions, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with them at all. It is predictable that someone would post from an offline entry that criticizes her so unfairly (and it is probably some registered member who dislikes her for some odd reason).

And for the record, I have no problem with Cat's critiques of my fanfics; she was very professional about it. And yes, let's get back on topic - or better yet, just leave it be. (Though the "thank yous!" I've been seeing is a bit surprising, to be frank.)

Cat never did anything wrong, the tone probably seems like yelling to you. She's trying to help him. Anyway, this post isn't even about Cat's reviews...:!

Okay, curiosity got the better of me and I went to see what awful thing Cat did, and I found a couple of well-written paragraphs with fantastic writing advice and constructive criticism of a story. Why should she punished exactly? :! If that's "flaming" and "bashing" to you, you're in for a world of emotional hurt when someone posts an actual insult... just saying...

And so my comment isn't a complete waste of space, I'll just add in that this news made my day when I read it. Honestly, it was getting extremely out of hand and I swear there was a sense of an oncoming war reading some of the Shout Box comments. Calm down people. This is a fan-site, not a warzone! :)

What CatWhoHas14Tails wrote on the Reviews of Skul's Fanfics. It's a shame. And you mods your job is punish her no matter who are she. (A great artist, i mean)

I agree with CK. The reason why I came here a year ago was because of Balto. When the drama started to rise, I left. Now that I'm back, I still see the same things.
WHY can't everybody get get along and be in good relations? Why do people like to offend one another? It's not like everybody are hackers, trolls, or stuck-up people. I wish that instead of shunning others, we could accept others and respect them. I've been trying to do that.

I agree Celtic Kate. I really wanted to see this site, when it was as they say, a good site and a real fansite. Not like this.....

I just have to ask; "Is this even a fansite?" with what is happening...... it does not look like a fansite. I have not been online for a long time, and when I came back... it is still the same story... more drama....

I had to clarify that you did not put up a representative list of the names of those who were involved. As to who was discussed, well, primarily steet and I were the targets. That much is a fact. And in response, yes, some people discussed Brown Wolf and a few others.

However, I quite understood the purpose and content of the posting. But, if it will salve any concerns, I have removed the names...

This isn't a list of people that are only instigating JC, it's to clarify to members the ones to NOT instigate against as well. Like Skul said you misunderstood.

JC-->I don't think you quite get he purpose of the news. Read over it again. If it's still not clear, ask a mod for clarrification.
