I almost feel like crying, which is stupid as hell of me.
Feel free to ignore this I just really need to get it out. It's stupid and honestly seems a bit selfish of me but whatever I guess.
I log on today and see a huge outburst about blood. I go to see what it's about.. And it's people saying the word blood has been censored. That you can't even use it in a topic post. Panicking, I go to check to see what's going on.. And find out much to my relief that it is indeed not the case, but a huge misunderstanding.
The post from the admin was stating there were waaaaaaaay too many threads in the Suggestion Forum running all at once about the blood/gore issue with Skins and accents. They wanted to clean things up, like they did with the photoshop threads. Though there were a few users hassling one of the staff to the point where a board that might not have been closed did get closed.
http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/frd ... t_14607119 - More about the whole confusion with the word being censored, and how it isn't actually being censored.
The problem I am having now, and it's almost bringing me to tears which again is dumb... Is that I fear that all my hard work (which i guess isn't hard work but it feels like it because I feel so passionate about it) is that this board right here
http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/sug/1550818, where I am asking the staff to cut some slack to the Skin and Accent makers is going to be for nothing now. That all this nonsense rising up from a misunderstanding of cleaning up and stopping users from hassling an admin is going to ruin any chances of the staff looking at the issue that I was so sickened by.
I do not like gore. It scares me. It makes me sad. It makes me cry when I see something hurt.
But I do not agree with little splotches of red, drips of red and other creative NON SUFFERING works of blood/gore being rejected because of the suddenly tightened rules.
I had been watching the Skins/Accents problem thread for a long time before I posted my board. Every time I saw the issue of something being rejected because "too much red" or "Looks like it's suffering because it's bleeding", I'd grit my teeth because it was clear that these things were not suffering. That the rules were just crazy strict. Finally I got fed up and made my board asking for things to be changed.
But now? Now that everyone is making a huge fuss of "WE CAN'T SAY THE WORD BLOOD OMG SAVE YOUR BIOS, SAVE YOUR KIDS, SAVE YOUR WIFE", the main issue at hand that started all this in the first place will be overlooked, ignored, ridiculed and tossed aside. And it's just not fair. It's not fair to any one. I feel like any chance that we had at swaying the admins mind to allow T-rated blood/gore and allow the creativity that matches the site's current content is gone now. That we've screwed ourselves over and lost everything.
